It’s rather simple: you can either normalise it and look away (what ‘good citizens’ do in Fascist societies) or you can do something – anything – to protest it.
“It” being the normalisation and the media silence surrounding Netanyahu’s continuing using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza.

On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And What Fascism Does to The Bodies of All of Us
Fascism isn’t just an abstract idea, an ideology that’s just floating there in the air. There are actual bodies – that succumbed to this ideology – inflicting violence on other bodies; there are bodies who justify that brutality; and there is your body, too.
Seeing Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya appear in front of us – still smiling, still resisting – reminded me to continue asking one simple question. It’s in my episode and video.
A Must-Watch Interview with Chris Hedges on Trump, The Rise of Fascism, Gaza, and Why It’s Vital to Resist
Fascism isn’t just on the rise: it is here, even more in the open, for everyone to see – and fight.
So what do we do? And who are the voices of conscience we can turn to to keep ourselves afloat? I invite you to watch an excellent video with one of such voices: Chris Hedges. I invite you to follow his reminder of why we need to resist. Spoiler alert: it has to do something with our souls.
Mass Destruction by Politeness, Mass Destruction by Cowardice
The are journalists with a capital J – with a moral compass, dedication, and bravery that we can only admire – and there are those, well, who can’t be described like that. When it comes to calling out the crimes of crimes of the powerful when it comes to Palestine, I claim that history will remember both: the bravery and the cowardice.

What to Keep in 2025: for Palestine And for Your Humanity
How can a random mural – seen at the right time – resonate so deeply to become a message I want to share with you for this new year? It’s all in my video. And it’s all about Palestine.
No Forgetting, No Forgiveness: Our Leaders Are Silent as Hospitals And Their Staff Are Being Exterminated by Israel
We will never forget the silence of our leaders as hospitals were being burned. Now that we know that there are no morals to appeal to, we continue speaking out and organising – with more force – in 2025.
See France Mansplain – Incorrectly – to The ICC How… The ICC Works
To try to defy the laws of the system that they belong to: here’s another example of how far some countries will go trying to protect Israel and shield it from accountability.
It’s World Children’s Day. It’s Also Another Day of Mass Slaughter of Childen in Gaza by Israeli Forces
On World Children’s Day, think of the children of Gaza. Take action. Grief. Let your rage out. This is not normal. It was never normal. A continuous mass slaughter of children, supported by our governments, has to stay in the spotlight — on this day or any other day.
We’re Not “Saving” Palestine – Palestine Is Saving Us
I hope you feel rage. And grief. And a deep deep disappointment with our leaders. I hope Palestine is keeping your heart open — in a way, protecting it from closing.
In Amsterdam, Israeli Hooligans Reminded Us What The Mentality of Oppressor Looks Like
If you are used to being an oppressor, you will behave like an oppressor — even in contexts where you technically aren’t any more. This was proven to us by the behaviour of Israeli football fans in Amsterdam this week.
