The mask is off. The oppression and its multiple brutal forms are clear. Now, the question is: will you join the movement?
As I partly refer to them in my short video above, today I want to share with you some questions that just couldn’t escape my mind — and that show how standing with the Palestinian people is so much more than standing with someone from Palestine.
Mostly, these questions come from having seen and heard people justifying the killing of civilians, people being “OK” with over 5,000 children killed by Israeli forces, and people shrugging shoulders to war crimes captured on camera.
I don’t believe you’re one of them. But here are those questions.
In the end, they might be what YOU, in general, are about.
So:
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with doctors?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with journalists?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with humanitarian workers?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with human rights organisations?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with international law lawyers?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with scholars?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with Israeli peace protestors?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with Jewish voices for peace around the world?
Do you stand with the occupier or do you stand with the occupied?
Do you stand with the ones fine with killing over 5,000 children in over a month or do you stand with the children?
Do you stand with the children?
Do you stand with the children?
—
Today or any day, I encourage you not to pledge allegiance to any government.
Especially when it forces you to answer any question in ways that diminish your own humanity.
Stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

On One of The Gravest Crimes against Humanity That Not Every Country Chose to Condemn at The UN
The UN just voted to describe the transatlantic slave trade as ‘the gravest crime against humanity’. Yet not every country, according to its vote, agrees. My commentary is on what the abstentions show.
Your Antiwar Voice Is Needed More Than You Might Think
The war machine won’t stop until it’s stopped, just as its propaganda won’t just disappear on its own. It was to be actively pointed to, deconstructed, and rejected as loudly as possible. And this is where everyone’s voice matters.
Good News: We Are on a Boat Ride Together; Bad News: It’s Being Steered by Psychopaths
We’re on a boat steered by psychopaths — and they’re not taking us anywhere nice. As the U.S. and Israel are destroying Lebanon and Iran, one thing can’t be clearer: it is the whole world that has to make them stop.
