This is the kind of shit Americans accuse Venezuela and Russia of doing
“Any vote for Jill Stein will not be counted” Ohio Elections Board posts signs in every voting booth saying their vote will not be counted if they vote for Jill Stein or Anita Rios, claiming they had dropped out of the race

Never forget the golden rule of this mailing list: run an event on ancient heritage in Palestine and you’ll be called a Nazi / terrorist for weeks. Invite an IOF member with a book called ‘why we should all be Zionists’ to talk to your ‘classical forum’ and not a peep. 🤷🏼‍♀️
I would be as annoyed as I am disgusted by the Liverpool Classicists List this morning if the Zionist event in question wasn’t so obviously going to be two zionists in a (virtual) room being like “don’t you just love the apartheid state?” “Yes and oooh aren’t we classical…” 😂

This is actual footage of Westerners trying to liberate Muslim women.
German police push a Muslim woman, grab after she calls him an “arsehole” and kick her.

My God. It’s just war crime after war crime. There is no law of war left for them to break.
BREAKING: Israeli forces have bombed the 'oxygen station' at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, killing a 'number of children,' according to the report. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/zs30s7

I don't know how we are supposed to recover as humans from this. I'm still stuck hearing Hind's voice, half a little girl on a wall, babies decaying in incubators, children w/ half their heads missing. How do we as humans recover from this shame of letting this happen?

his co-driver talks about crushing people so badly their bodies explode and how he’s so disturbed by this that he can no longer eat meat, but in the next breath says there’s “no such thing as citizens” in Gaza
CNN tried to do a sympathy piece on IDF soldiers and then like halfway through the article you find out this guy was a D9 bulldozer driver who regularly drove over people while they were alive.

By all reasonable definitions, this is ethnic cleansing.

You are watching human beings being butchered between your brunch and Pilates classes and inane tweets about everything but what is staring you in the face and I pray that the ghosts of the martyrs haunt you for every second of your disgusting shameful lives. You are not our colleagues. You are not our peers, you are not our acquaintances, you are our executioners in your silence.

He didn’t stutter, he didn’t correct himself - he didn’t hear what he said because it’s what is in his head. This is exactly what they believe - how do we know? That’s been their policy for over a year now. The U.S. government, led by the Biden-Harris administration, wants total extermination of the Palestinians.
“Israel has a right to try and target civilians” What an admission

A child mowed down by an Israeli snipper, then passers by who tried to help bombed. That's what a war crime looks like. No one can now claim they did not know when the reckoning comes. No one!
Extremely difficult scenes: An Israeli drone targeted a child with live ammunition in one of the streets of northern Gaza. When citizens gathered to rescue and assist him, they were hit by a direct strike, turning them into scattered remains.

if someone in the middle of the holocaust was saying that the problem wasn't nazism itself but hitler, and that the solution was to 'hold hitler accountable' while maintaining the third reich, you would have very little trouble recognizing that person was still just a nazi.

🚨 THREAD: This morning, the Israeli military shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan Abu Salami while she was harvesting olives with her family in Faqqua, near Jenin. Despite coordinating permission to be there, Israeli soldiers opened fire, killing Hanan as she tried to flee.
