A man named Matt Nelson self-immolated outside the Israeli consulate in Boston on September 11th, in protest against the Gaza genocide.
He is the third person in the United States to have self-immolated outside an Israeli consulate or embassy since October 7th 2023.

equally unbearable, and abjectly terrifying. the way we get what we want, & want what we can't get. the way life shows us how little we know. and yet it's the only way to do it.

"I’m not anti-Semitic at all, but I am anti-Zionist. I don’t believe they have the right, after 3,000 years, to reclaim the land with western bombs and guns on biblical injunction."

Israel shouldn’t even be at the Olympics. They violated the Olympic Truce within hours of the games commencing, killing 70 Palestinians. The International Olympic Committee should’ve suspended them like they did with Russia in 2022 but has refused to take action

I think a lot of the shock about Alice Munro right now is people not realizing that for a certain generation of women (especially), the family was a company that you worked in PR for. Your main concern was to protect the reputation of the family.

意見メールはムダ、の声も聞くし、自分も無力感に苛まれながらやってた。
でも先日、外務省の人と話した人のツイで、意見は外務省も読んでいる、多くの声が上がっているのも認識されている、意味も効果もある、とあった。
何もしなければゼロ。やれることをやる。

international law was not made to protect the drc, sudan, palestine, haiti, west papua, kanaky, or any other population facing genocide + displacement. it was made to protect the us, canada, france, uk and every other colonial power. do not put your faith into “international law”
