Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

Not a shred of evidence that journalists partook in military activities. Zero
But as Western media starts its due diligence, Apartheid Israel escalates disinformation. The army has even a "legitimization cell" fabricating stories to justify genocide. My next report exposes it all

“As a Palestinian, I am the direct subject of Zionism. I’m an expert on it, in fact, because it is practised on my body”
Mohammed El-Kurd defines Zionism in under 5 minutes. He says everything that needs to be said👇
There are still many Jewish people, and Israelis, who find the call for a "Free Palestine" threatening, as if it suggests the end of Israeli freedom. versobooks.com/blogs/news/50…
Did the end of apartheid in South Africa bring about the loss of freedom for white South Africans? NO, of course not. The reality is analogous.

#URGENT The protests in the United States have intensified. Today, hundreds of thousands of Americans took to the streets to demand an end to funding for Israel, a development that has clearly left Trump sleepless, as evidenced in this recording. Help us spread it, so they don't remove it from X.

As a wise man once said: “If Israel is a democracy, then democracy should be abolished.”

What if, listening to this painful call, ALL those who say they care for Palestine, started to pay attention to:
-grocery/pharmaceuticals they buy
-insurance companies they use
-their banks
-their pension funds
-their work or research partners..
And chose an #ApartheidFree life
