"Anything short of suspension is a failure to uphold EU law, a betrayal of its stated values, and a dismissal of the growing public demand across Europe to end Israeli impunity and deliver justice for the Palestinians." www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

The EU must not wait till Israel starts executing Palestinians
It must cancel the EU-Israel Association Agreement immediately over Israeli violations of the human rights clause.

Wherever the agents appear, even when they lean idly, chatting, we see the cold threat of violence and the fragility of freedom. And in the brave crowds who gather to confront them, scrambling their illusion of total control, we see the power of solidarity, shining with human warmth.

How Germany Silenced Its Artists to Support Israel

The massacres today have been reported by her cousin Mahmoud Abusalama. Please do not just read and watch this but also ACT. Figure out what you can do to help stop the genocide, end the apartheid, end the occupation, and free Palestine, after so many years of oppression, from the river to the sea.

In the hours after she spoke with us, the genocide has escalated. Among the appalling number of people Israel has massacred today is yet another of her family members: the husband of a cousin who was herself murdered with her youngest children in 2023.

We have all been watching the stream of acts so ghastly that they cannot be adequately captured in words; of images that we will never erase from our minds, and that shatter the naive beliefs that many of us held about the nature of our governments, institutions, and societies.
