"a black presidency is a contradiction—it owes its power to a movement against racist state violence at home but seeks an office which has always practiced racist state violence abroad ... what stands out about the horrifying death toll in Gaza is how easily it slots into a history of American global power"
Ta-Nehisi Coates is pretty much the only person i want to read reflecting on Gaza and the 2024 election

Did Kamala Harris's Silence on Gaza Cost Her the White House?
Ta-Nehisi Coates reckons with that question, and what it means for the 2028 election.Ta-Nehisi Coates (Vanity Fair)
When i talk, i prefer to say "killing people" rather than war, because i think it makes a difference in how the person hearing you starts to think avout the topic.
Killing people in #Ukraine, Killing people in #Gaza, Killing people in #Iran
Each of those are choices, a dictator CHOOSE for that
It's 2026 and still dictators are killing people, what are we doing..

#Platner said #Israel commits #genocide in #Gaza, opposes #AIPAC, and says end #USA #military ties with Israel. The #DNC doesn't like him
So those who hated on #Harris like him?
No, they hate on Platner
Why?
Because they don't really care about Gaza. They care about being entitled edgelords. Gaza was the old excuse, now they have a new #fake excuse to whine
They don't have #ideology. They have loser #psychology. Fake #leftist s
How about not just Russia. How about enact that ban on Russians with a ban on visas for citizens of the USA?
The USA has been arming and funding and diplomatically protecting a #genocide in #Gaza for nearly 3 years, and attacking Iran for several months.
Or are illegal wars of aggression fine when carried out by English speakers?
@katrinakatrinka
i'm aware that right wingers cosplaying #left can create "correct" profiles with all the usual #leftist signifiers
the simple point is you need to stop selling #helplessness, and fucking fight, if you are genuine
or you need to stop selling helplessness, and shut up, if you are a #troll
all that does is help #MAGA win and further #genocide in #gaza
that is the *only* effect of your "perspective"
we do not honor all "opinions"
some suck, some lie
@katrinakatrinka @mastodonmigration
#Platner has consistently campaigned on a platform of halting #USA military funding to #Israel
So with #Harris, we forget #transphobia and #womensRights
We focus on the #genocide in #Gaza
Now with Platner we forget all about the genocide in Gaza
we focus on transphobia and women's rights
so people don't vote, GOP wins…
the genocide in Gaza gets greenlights, transphobia advances, and women's rights get curtailed
the power of #perfectionism
The bombing doesn't stop, a return to genocide!!
To all those who believed the false ceasefire, we are dying in the most horrific and extreme ways!!
Wake up, world!
Speak up for us! Gaza is burning!

The Guardian has published a new map of the #Gaza yellow line. You can see that #Israel has now seized more than half of the entire strip. But this is also the very substantial majority of all Gaza's agricultural land.
This means that even if peace is restored, Gaza cannot feed itself unless Israel withdraws.
This is, in effect, a giant #ConcentrationCamp.

"Israel has a right to defend itself. And how it does so matters," Ms Harris said, expressing concern about the "dire humanitarian situation" in Gaza.
"We cannot allow ourselves to be numb to the suffering and I will not be silent,"

4 June marks the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, as Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip continue to face severe humanitarian suffering amid the ongoing Israeli genocidal war.
Hundreds of thousands live amid rubble and displacement camps, far from a normal childhood.
More than two and a half years of genocide have left over 21,000 children killed, more than 44,000 injured, and tens of thousands orphaned or displaced.
Health officials in Gaza say Israel is waging an aggressive campaign against Gaza’s healthcare system by deliberately calibrating restrictions on fuel and supplies to keep hospitals on the brink of collapse.

Israeli settlers stole a cart after infiltrating the village of Jaloud, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, at dawn today.
Just like Hitler didn’t carry out the Holocaust on his own, neither is Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza being carried out by Itamar Ben-Gvir and Netanyahu alone.
This is a nation state commiting a live-streamed genocide supported by the taxes of people in the US, the UK, and Europe (especially Germany).
We are all complicit and we will have to live with the collective shame for generations if we fail to stop it.
Stop the genocide!
Stop Israel!
Free Palestine!

On the morning of May 30, 2020, Israel shot and killed 31-year-old Palestinian Eyad Al-Hallaq near the Old City of occupied Jerusalem while he was on his way to a special needs school.
Eyad, who had severe autism and functioned at the level of a young child, was unarmed when he was killed by Israeli forces near Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Despite eyewitness accounts and calls for accountability, no charges have been filed against the officer involved.

Mark Bonnick worked at Arsenal for 22 years. Then on Christmas Eve 2024, the former kitman was fired over posts he made on X criticising Israel over the genocide in Gaza.
Arsenal accused him of bringing the club into disrepute. The case was quickly framed by media outlets as one of antisemitism. But reports later revealed that the Football Association told Arsenal his posts had not breached any of the governing body's rules.

The day after tomorrow, Eid al-Adha will arrive,
yet it no longer resembles the Eids we once knew.
Here, Eid al-Adha carried rituals that felt like old tales passed gently from one generation to another;
the scent of sacrifices rising with the first light of dawn,
crowded markets filled with sweets, new clothes, and children’s toys,
and the joy in little eyes growing long before gifts ever reached their hands.
Our mothers used to bake date-filled cookies days before the feast,
until the homes themselves seemed wrapped in the warmth of flour, butter, and longing,
as though happiness was being baked slowly beside us, piece by piece.
And tomorrow is the Day of Arafah,
the sacred day before Eid,
a day that carried its own unforgettable traditions.
Every Day of Arafah, we would have breakfast outside the house,
a small pause between the exhaustion of work,
the weight of my children’s studies,
and the long-awaited holiday we clung to like salvation.
Then Eid morning would arrive…
beginning with prayer,
followed by the sacrifices,
then sweets shared among children,
and Eid gifts that planted delight inside their small hearts,
along with visits to family and relatives,
and the sound of loved ones knocking on our doors with hearts full of affection.
But today…
no Eid comes anymore,
and life no longer feels like life.
There is no joy worthy of our children,
and no voices of family or loved ones
knocking at our doors the way they once did in gentler days.
Help us paint even the smallest traces of happiness
upon faces that have been deprived of it for far too many years.

When Miami Beach activist Donna Nevel was leafleting for Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) last year at one of the biggest art fairs in the country, she was shocked to see a billboard-bearing truck emblazoned with her name and photo, along with the words “Jew hater.”
JVP is alleging that Miami Beach City Commissioner David Suarez spent $4,000 of his own money on three billboard trucks to target Nevel and another outspoken JVP member.

I have huge respect for people with the courage to join the Global Sumud Flotilla.
They put their bodies at risk because they do not believe their lives are more valuable than the lives of Palestinians.
It is shameful that government ministers express indignation for Canadians when they have utterly failed to show it for Palestinians, who have endured untold cruelty for the better part of a century.
But that’s the world we live in, and the bravery of the flotilla participants shows the glaring double standard, and helps build pressure to rein in the rogue state of Israel.
It’s an extreme tactic in response to extreme impunity.
And the goal is to stop the genocide and dismantle Israeli apartheid.
