"As #Israel’s offensive reduced whole neighbourhoods to rubble, the records that anchor #Palestinians claims to homes and land have often vanished with them. Deeds, contracts, bills and permits are lost in the expanse of #Gaza’s ruins."
The battle to prove who owns Gaza’s ruins

"Today I speak with #ArabBarghouti about his father, #MarwanBarghouti, his arrest in 2002, the political trial that followed, and why his case has become central to the broader struggle for Palestinian rights. Arab also explains how the prison system has worsened since October 2023, and why he sees Marwan as a symbol of hope, legitimacy, and political unity in #Palestine." - #FrankBarat

“The last grievance in the Declaration of Independence is about 'merciless Indian savages' [...] According to our founders, in their own words, the thing that they were most angry about was Native people.”

"People are willing to endure unspeakable tribulations as long as there is an end in sight, but when you tell them this is your life *permanently*, you're stuck in this, it becomes an aggravated nightmare."

"I am a journalist writing from #Gaza, and I write in fear. #Israel has killed 264 Palestinian journalists here; I knew many of them personally. I write in fear and exhaustion, in a profound disorientation of not knowing what is coming next—of having nothing to count on from the future."

Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

"#Israel appears to be turning the '#yellowLine' into a permanent divide, expanding military infrastructure along the line and systematically clearing all land under its control. The effect is the ethnic cleansing of 54% of #Gaza." - #ForensicArchitecture

"This idea of #Israel as a settler-colonial state has been around since the beginning of Zionism, many of whose early leaders described their project in these terms. It got a momentary boost in the West when the distinguished scholar Maxime Rodinson published his essay ‘Israel, fait colonial’ in Les Temps Modernes in 1967, but it remained a niche view until the horrors in #Gaza became too blatant to ignore."

"The repatriation is both an apology for the destruction caused by #FrenchColonialism and a reassertion of its power. It is a reclamation of meaningful cultural objects and a funeral for a culture that no longer exists. It is a joyful celebration and a savage insult."

Before I head out for the day ->
Recommended #documentary film.Between 1952 and 1960, Britain fought a vicious war in Kenya against the anticolonial Mau Mau movement. It was an exceptionally bloody conflict, with atrocities committed on both sides. For decades, many of the worst abuses by British colonial forces were kept hidden. Piecing together survivor testimonies and expert analysis from British and Kenyan historians, this film tells a complete and detailed story for the first time of how Britain was involved in systemic torture – including accounts of murders, rapes and forced castrations.
A Very British Way of Torture is a film by Ed McGown and produced by Rob Newman.

Fellow #SaveOldGrowth forest defender, Sheena, made a short film. It includes the jingle dance circle with me & several other #environmental #landback #activists on the bridge between River & Landback resistance camps.
River & Landback camps were main strongholds at Fairy Creek blockade. River camp was the first resistance camp set up in 2020 & it ran for a year before final big raid. There are 2 very rough logging roads that lead up to untouched old growth forest tracts from these camps. River camp is also where people could go hike to see/visit with Grandmother & Grandfather cedars. After we were removed, industry started cutting more roads up into the untouched old growth tracts. Teal Jones logging company has since pulled out due to financial issues & everything is up in the air at this time. Temporary deferral was renewed this year for some tracts by this one particular area in the watershed. Still hoping for permanent protections as the elder trees are not included in this small deferral.
"My student documentary on the Fairy Creek/Ada'itsx old growth forest blockade 🌲 something of a collage, made with many hands and hearts. While the blockade and movement has evolved and gone through many stages, the momentum remains and many still carry forth the activism in heart and deed."

One of many earlier #British #ColonialCrimes in #SouthEastAsia. The #BriggsPlan in #Malaysia.
The Nazi regime during WWII forever gave the term #ConcentrationCamp a name symbolic of #atrocity, so when British #colonizers once again visited the idea of #ForcedRelocation of #IndigenousPeoples to isolate them they needed another name for the enclaves. They came up with #NewVillages. The New Villages were created under the Briggs Plan, which was developed to combat the communist insurgency in #Malaya during the 1950 #MalayanEmergency. The plan was prepared by Sir Harold Briggs, a British General who was the Director of Operations in Malaya.
#Britain lost the Malayan Peninsula and their fortress at Singapore to the Japanese during WWII and reoccupied their former dominion after the fall of Japan. Among the many difficulties the British encountered was the presence of roughly a half-million #Chinese in rural Malaya, most working as farmers working small plots of land for their own sustenance on land they did not own or lease. The British administration regarded these Chinese as squatters and found them a problem because they were physically distant from the machinery of British authority, which most of the Malayan population was not happy to see return to their country.
When the Malayan #CommunistParty received support from armed #guerrillas from Malaya and #China, the British, intent on restoring #Imperial rule to the peninsula, looked with additional distrust upon these rural Chinese. While some of the Chinese were certainly sympathetic to the communists, most were indifferent. The British concern was that the communist #insurgents would receive support from the squatters in the form of food, neglecting the fact that the majority of the Chinese squatters were barely able to grow enough to support themselves. The Briggs plan required the forced relocation of the Chinese.
The New Villages isolated the Chinese, and they were guarded by Malayan police and British Military Police and some troops. The Chinese could not leave the villages except under escort and nobody was allowed in without the permission of the guards, making them effectively prisons. The villages were built with running water and electricity, amenities absent from most Malayan villages, and health care and some educational facilities were provided. This caused resentment towards the British from the Malay outside the villages, who didn’t receive the same amenities, and the Chinese, who resented the forced relocation settlement.
Although the New Villages, of which 450 were built, were an improvement over the forced detention camps of the Boer War, and death rates in the villages were roughly the same as for the rest of the country, there were racially motivated #CollectivePunishments directed towards the Chinese population in the villages. #Deportation without trial by the administration was a common punishment for the Chinese. Law within the villages was the decision of the British. Many of the villages are still standing and in recent years have been restored to serve as tourist destinations by the Malaysian government with support from China.

*In case you missed reading this when it was first published last year.*
#Canada’s #NationalParks Are #Colonial #CrimeScenes.
Many see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as untouched #nature is unrecognizable to #Indigenous people
In 2017, it felt like the whole country was swept up in the rah-rah celebrations around Canada 150. It was a collective anniversary, a chance to celebrate our history. Well, some of it, anyway. Tied to the many calls to explore the country and take stock of its many wonders, #ParksCanada released its Discovery Pass, which granted free entry to all national parks that year. These natural spaces “represent the very best that Canada has to offer,” it announced in a press release. “They are the essence of our country because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples.” But, as Robert Jago explored in his timely essay, Canada’s parks program was built on the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the capture of their territories—a form of “green colonialism.” Parks are wonderful spaces, but they have also acted as #political cover for the control of land, a tactic we still see used today.—Daniel Viola, senior editor, November 2023 issue.

Professor John J. Mearsheimer was spot on when he said the # 1 biggest terrorist organization is the USA & the 2nd is Israel.
They are BFFs in destabilizing #geopolitical terrorism. Both have had impunity for their multiple war crimes for too long.Consequences are long overdue for both of these colonial terrorist governments, filled with many war criminals.
