for @thenation, wrote about the extraordinary embrace and protection extended to Ukrainian refugees but also how it compares to the absolute hell nonwhite asylum seekers are put through in the U.S. and Europe thenation.com/article/world/…
The Racism and Incoherence of the World’s Asylum Systems

The Racism and Incoherence of the World’s Asylum Systems

The humane response to Ukrainian refugees shows that a radical new path for caring for the vulnerable is possible.

Leading social media companies systemically took down Palestinian documentation of human rights abuses while leaving up genocidal language in Hebrew directed at Palestinians and Arabs.

#Palestinians have long demanded many of the steps currently being taken in support of #Ukraine : an appreciation of political context, an acknowledgment of what ordinary people are being subjected to, and a recognition of power asymmetries. @Monashtayya 972mag.com/social-media-ukra…
Who gets to speak out against their occupier on social media?

Who gets to speak out against their occupier on social media?

Social media giants are taking action to protect Ukrainians' free speech as they resist an occupation. Why aren't they doing so for Palestinians?

The @UNHumanRights report by @MichaelLynk5 notes the decades-long Israeli occupation is “indistinguishable from annexation … This is apartheid.”

Palestinian prisoner Thabet Nassar from Madama village, south of Nablus, embraces freedom after serving 14 months of administrative detention in Israeli occupation jails. It is worth mentioning that Thabet spent 15 years in Israeli jails without charges or trials.

Israeli settlers near Nablus set fire to parts of a mosque and vandalized the walls of the village in Zeita Jamma’in. These attacks on mosques and public spaces of any kind belonging to Palestinian communities are attempts to intimidate and ultimately displace them. #DefundRacism

The west is rash to assume the world is on its side over Ukraine

It runs the risk of mistaking a local consensus on Russian aggression for a global one

Yesterday Israeli forces demolished a home under construction in al Aouja, located near Jericho. The home belonged to Atallah Kaabneh and his family. The Jordan Valley is a major target for Israeli settlement, and therefore also destruction of Palestinian communities.

Climate's collapsing, inequality is surging and war is teetering at the nuclear brink. We need people-powered alternatives to the parties of war and Wall Street - not stronger versions of them.

In the past year both Biden and Pelosi have said that our country needs a “strong Republican party.” Notice how they never say we need a strong Socialist party or Green party. The leaders of the Democrats want a strong right-wing party when we already have two who rule over us.

Aujourd'hui, c'était la rentrée des classes en Afghanistan. Contredisant leurs engagements publics, les talibans ont annoncé hier soir que les filles de 12 ans et plus ne seraient pas acceptées à l'école. Elles n'y sont donc plus retournées depuis août et la chute de Kaboul. 1/6
