10 days after appearing in court for #terrorism charges, and 2 days before their #Glastonbury performance, which still faces threats of being cancelled (as other #festivals have done) and/or removed from #BBC broadcast, #Kneecap have just cocreated and released a video: "we are not the story", proceeding to illustrate the legal definition of #genocide with testimonies from medical staff and #Palestinian casualties in #Gaza. ✊🏽#Repost #retoot #boycott #divest #bds

Framing global conflicts as battles between democracy and autocracy distorts the meaning of democracy, alienates the Global South and enables authoritarian regimes like China to exploit the narrative. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/06/26/world/democracy-not-an-ideological-weapon/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #unitenations #democracy #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #israel #gaza #iran #war

Zohran Mamdani's victory over Andrew Cuomo is a historic turning point for Palestine in U.S. politics. It reflects a growing fatigue with Israel’s role in American life and the slow implosion of Zionism under the weight of its own excess.

First, let me say that what #Israel is doing in the #Gaza strip is wrong.

But if we truly want peace in the Middle East - not just a temporary ceasefire, but for generations to come - then we must understand the primary fear that drive so many Israeli Jews to support #Zionism . And that fear is that if they ever give up any amount of control, if they trust anyone else with guaranteeing their security, if they let go for even an instant - then they will be killed.

That fear is very real, and can we really argue that this fear is unwarranted?

It's not just the Holocaust and the many, many other pogroms in Europe - the Islamic world has had quite a few pogroms as well. In 1947, Egypt was home to 50,000 Jews. In the 1950s, about 300,000 Jews lived in Morocco. Now there are almost none. Zionism will have meaning for a large portion of Israeli Jews as long as Jews cannot feel truly safe elsewhere.

None of this excuses the actions of the Israeli government, but we need to understand the context in which we act if we ever want to find peace.

The United States is giving $30 million to a controversial humanitarian group delivering aid in war-torn Gaza despite concern over violence near the distribution sites. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/25/world/politics/us-30-million-gaza-aid-operation/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #us #usaid

The European Union's top diplomat said she would speak to Israel's government regarding its suspected human rights breaches, as divisions remain within the bloc over how to influence Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/24/world/politics/eu-israel-human-rights/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #eu #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #humanrights

While the world’s got its eyes on the war between Israel, the US, and Iran, the Zionist death machine keeps grinding on in Gaza. Our friend Hamza just dropped a gut-wrenching piece showing the brutal desperation of Palestinians trying to grab aid while dodging bullets. Reposting the video from @dropsitenews so y’all can see what that nightmare actually looks like.

Gaza’s healthcare system is collapsing under the weight of Israel’s genocide.

Children are among the hardest hit. According to the Health Cluster, children now account for 23 percent of amputations, 26 percent of spinal cord injuries, 33 percent of traumatic brain injuries, and 70 percent of burn cases requiring surgery.

Yet, there are no specialized rehabilitation services for children anywhere in Gaza.
