"A study by the firm Reputation Lab polled people in 60 major countries, and found that the United States has a very bad reputation. The US ranking fell from what was already a low rank of 30 out of 60 in 2024 to an even worse 48th place in 2025.

A clear demonstration of the political isolation of the US government can be seen in votes at the United Nations.

The vast majority of countries on Earth voted at the UN General Assembly on 29 October to demand an end to the illegal US blockade of Cuba, which has been maintained in blatant violation of international law for more than six decades.

165 countries, representing 85.5% of the UN’s 193 member states, voted in support of a resolution that emphasized the “necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”.

Just seven nations, or 3.6% of the total, opposed the measure. These included the US and Israel — which vote against the resolution every single year — as well as Argentina, Hungary, Paraguay, North Macedonia, and Ukraine."

Earth First: **BLOCKADE!**

https://earthfirstjournal.news/2025/11/03/blockade/

This short documentary follows land defenders and their allies in their fight against Law 97, a forestry reform that would have handed over the province’s remaining forests to industry.

#SouthAfrica says release its activists, including grandson of #NelsonMandela

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Thursday that Israel's interception of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla was a "grave offense" against "global solidarity & sentiment that is aimed at relieving suffering in #Gaza".

Ramaphosa called on #Israel to immediately release South Africans & others who were on the flotilla, including liberation hero Nelson Mandela's grandson, Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela.

#MandlaMandela, as he is known, left Johannesburg in September to join the flotilla. He had said #Palestinians lives under Israeli occupation are worse than what South Africans experienced under #apartheid. #Israel rejects comparisons between the lives of Palestinians who have lived under #occupation or economic #blockade for more than half a century & the apartheid era in #SouthAfrica, when the Black majority was ruled by a repressive white minority government.

#Israel said it will use any means to prevent the boats from reaching #Gaza, arguing that its naval #blockade is *legal* as it battles #Hamas militants in the coastal enclave.
This video, courtesy of Davut Daskiran, shows a vessel approaching the flotilla.
An off-camera voice can be heard saying, "(The boat) circulating around us...blocking the way."
Reuters confirmed the video was filmed from SIRIUS, one of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla vessels, by rigging & lines, which matched imagery of the boat.

#Gaza #flotilla faces #Israel #blockade as #activists call for #aid access

Several unidentified vessels were seen approaching the #GlobalSumudFlotilla trying to deliver aid to Gaza Wednesday night.

The approach comes hours after the flotilla said that Israeli "warships" approached some of its boats & engaged in "dangerous & intimidatory maneuvers" early Wednesday as it neared the #Palestinian territory.

The #documentary film that I'm featured in is now available for #free viewing:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4q_dXo7Bw

It includes footage & shared #deforestation issues with the #Amazon. It's all connected.

I'm holding back tears near the end of it. I was arrested a few days after doing the documentary film interview at gate to River & Landback resistance camps.
