@mahmoud_basal88, Civil Defense spokesperson, speaks to the world.
An appeal for a humanitarian stance to end the ongoing genocide.
Today I’m thinking of cultures interrupted—of millions upon of millions killed—of worlds extinguished—of immeasurable loss in the quest for subjugation and accumulation. Cultures are consumed, digested, regurgitated, diminished, and transformed—empty husks then sold as novelty to sanitize history.
Live now on TT with journalists, civil defense, EMTs, and friends on the ground.

The G/side continues, now with support from the UN. Hear directly from journalists on the ground.
“What is repressed is the violence of order itself; what is disavowed is our own entanglement with it and ethical responsibility to confront it. In this scheme, ‘political violence’ can only be what threatens this system, not what the system itself does.”
New from @eric-reinhart.com:
⭐️ Drop Site News, with @unmutehumanity.bsky.social, has launched the Gaza Journalist Fund to help 29 vetted reporters evacuate Gaza City and survive displacement in the south.

A thread on fear of cities. I grew up in 70s & 80s in a mostly working class white town I didn’t know at the time was segregated from the small, Blacker city across the river. My mom was a rare lefty who loved cities, but I absorbed attitudes at school: “cities are scary.” 1/

This isn't aid. It's extermination.
From the GHF kill zones to the march on Rafah, from the Madleen to every child shot while reaching for bread—
what's being targeted is resistance to extermination itself. 1/4

Link in bio to complain to CNN for their headline which absurdly says hunger killed a baby - not the real perpetrator that manufactured the starvation - Israel
Lowkey surprised the world’s first “live-streamed genocide” isn’t getting more attention.
Human nature.
Underneath all this.
Buried in rubble.
The loss is endless.
This is not war.
This is punishment.
This is madness.
A twisted mess exploited for material gain by ruthless sadists who hide their crimes in plain sight as a warning to those who may say stop.
Zionism is a cult. Israel is a false idol. Save Judaism from Zionism. Save Palestinians from Zionists.
Inhumanity blooms within and spreads. Death covets life, stalks it and smothers it. These primal forces surge and retreat through time. We don’t have to play their game. 2/2
What Iz is doing is beyond t-ism. It is mass torture. The goal is elimination, physically and psychologically. The attempted imposition of dissociation upon a population. Trauma once received, now passed on. 1/2

My new oped:
I moved to the U.S. in 2000 from Egypt and I've spent the past 25yrs watching the U.S. turn into Egypt.
But no one is under any illusion that Egypt's dictator was freely and fairly elected. 77 million people freely and fairly elected Trump. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
I read Ilan Pappe and discovered anti-Zionism. This was November 2023. I grew up in a secular Jewish family. I knew nothing.
Reggae music is still beautiful. Real liberation is collective. 2/2
Zionism is a cult that worships the false idol that is the state of Israel.
My introduction to Zionism was through reggae music. It was beautiful.
I didn’t really know Zionism until after the flood. This Zionism was unfamiliar unbelievable, contradictory. 1/2
