Colonialism, genocide, capitalism & extractivism work hand in hand.
Behind all the ahistorical fictional rhetoric about religious rights & “civilization” there will be economic greed that sees everything in a piece of land, including humans, as resources to be exploited.
Time to turn up the volume on what’s happening in Gaza & on the Israeli genocide of Palestinians waiting to get aid during the “12 day war” btwn Iran & the Israeli regime.
Listen & share this episode w/ Yara Hawari & Safa Joudeh that I had the pleasure of editing podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...
"En Gaza, hace casi dos años que no hay electricidad estable. Allí, el apagón es total: de la luz, del agua potable, de los medicamentos, de la ayuda humanitaria. Y a esa oscuridad se suma una violencia constante".

"Project Esther is more than just a desperate attempt to salvage a crumbling Zionist narrative—it is part of a broader authoritarian shift in US politics."

“When we are crafting a design strategy, we have to ask ourselves: how much of that is about their survival? Is that sufficient? How much of this do we foresee helping a future free Gaza or free Palestine? And how much of this is actually just normalizing colonization & occupation?”

One of the most informative & timely episodes we worked on.
We keep hearing about reconstruction plans & initiatives but how much do we really know about them & their feasibility as the #gazagenocide continues w/ complete impunity.
Abed’s analysis was food for thought
The tactics ICE is using--thugs in plain clothes kidnapping people simply for their political views--these tactics were developed by the US and spread across the world to hunt down Leftists from Latin America to Indonesia. They've also been used locally for decades to terrorize Black communities.

For me, it’s the normalization of absurdity.
Trump was a joke less than a decade ago but his politics are now the norm and he is feared instead of ridiculed. I am afraid everything an emboldened Trump does now will also become the norm, including his fantasies about Gaza, the region & the world.
“Roll over and play dead.”
He actually wrote that. Lol

When I see these this type of news it really weighs on me that those in the shadows of power will hold on to the status quo so tight before they let revolution liberate the millions.
Our region has some serious rot that can no longer be cured. The whole tree needs to come down.
In this commentary, Al-Shabaka Board President Tareq Baconi reflects on over 12 months of genocide in Gaza, discusses its ramifications, highlights the façade of the international rules-based order, & centers the power of the global majority al-shabaka.org/commentaries...
In this policy lab, Halah Ahmad and Andrew Kadi join host Tariq Kenney-Shawa to discuss what the incoming Trump Administration will mean for Palestinians, how it will affect the pro-Palestine solidarity movement in the US, and how to prepare for it al-shabaka.org/policy-labs/...
Donald Trump's suggestion of ethnically cleansing the Gaza Strip lays bare the "long-term American project" in the Middle East, says Palestinian writer Mohammed El-Kurd. www.democracynow.org/2025/2/11/mohammed_el_ku...
My colleague @yarahawari.bsky.social never misses a chance to call out and educate mainstream media on how not to dehumanize Palestinians. That’s why we need more Palestinian voices to speak on Palestine in media.
"I think it's really important that we get our language right. This isn't a forced movement. It is ethnic cleansing."
- Yara Hawari (@yarahawari.bsky.social) in a must-watch interview with CNN
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked U.S. Secretary of Commerce nominee Howard Lutnick during their meeting in Washington on Friday to give Israel a waiver that would exempt it from proposed regulatory controls on advanced AI chips, two sources with knowledge of the issue said.

"The Israeli regime's approach to Palestinian labor rests on a primary goal: to make everyday life so unbearable that Palestinians are forced to leave their homeland."
