  1. "The line that the onslaught by #Israel against #Gaza, the #WestBank and #Lebanon is about Hamas and Hizbullah is undercut by a closer look at the indiscriminate nature of the killing and uprooting of Arabs whatever their religion. The Vatican has expressed its concern at the violence against Christian villages in Southern Lebanon and in Gaza. St Porphyrius Church in Gaza was destroyed by Israel in October 2023."

    On August 17, 2026, the military police and farmers launched yet another series of attacks against the Guarani-Kaiowá Indigenous people, this time at the Aratikuty reclaimed land in Dourados, in the territories occupied by the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.

    On the 19th, the military police carried out an eviction without a court order. They attacked Indigenous people with tear gas, rubber bullets, and live rounds. They also arrested five people.

  4. "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

  5. "Ceasing fire in #Gaza means continuing oppression by other means. Vocabulary is managed like territory, unilaterally. #Israel, once again, is making an ostensibly temporary situation into one of stable degradation – relative stability for Israel, further depredation for Gaza."

    "As violence escalates in #Lebanon, many are drawing comparisons to #Gaza. In this episode, we speak with Palestinian journalist and activist Lama Abu Kharoub, from Burj el-Shemali refugee camp in Lebanon, who shares firsthand insights from Lebanon, where communities continue to face displacement, destruction, and uncertainty despite repeated promises of multiple ceasefires."

Among the descendants of the Palestinian families who own the site is historian #RashidKhalidi. He details his family’s nearly 30 year legal battle against the planned embassy — and reflects on whether the hundred-year war on #Palestine may finally be entering a new chapter..."

'[C]ontrasting today’s deepening dependence and the loss of heirloom varieties against the region’s storied past, said to be the birthplace of #agriculture itself, feels like rubbing salt in the wound. “Lebanon’s millennia-old agricultural heritage—one of the oldest in the world—is under imminent threat,” Salloum told me.'

  15. "The wars in southern #Lebanon and #Gaza are exceptional in the degree to which #Israel has been directly targeting medical infrastructure—not to strain it but to literally flatten it. In Gaza this pattern was noted early on: Israel dropped its bombs closer and closer to medical facilities, then switched to carrying out direct strikes with impunity." - #MaryTurfah

  17. "To counter this insidious attempt at #Nakba memoricide by U.S. politicians and others, it is instructive to review the archives of U.S. diplomats stationed in #Palestine and surrounding Arab countries who witnessed the Nakba unfold and reported back to the #StateDepartment on the magnitude and gravity of #Israel’s dispossession of Palestine’s indigenous inhabitants." - #JoshRuebner

  18. "The US actually understood quite early on that the partition plan as proposed by #UNSCOP was not workable and not feasible [...] The US did more than think about going back on partition. In March 1948 [...] the US actually proposed in the Security Council that an international trusteeship be appointed for #Palestine instead of partition." - #JoshRuebner

    "George also recalls the violence that transformed the city: the King David Hotel bombing, armed Zionist attacks on Palestinian neighborhoods, and the mass displacement of #Palestinians in 1948."

  20. 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.

  21. "In endorsing this so-called peace plan, Western powers, Arab states, and now the #UN itself risk endorsing an illegal expansion of the Israeli government’s territorial-maximalist settlement project—and leaving two million #Palestinians with no viable path for rebuilding their lives."

    Over the years, I've collected a lot of activist art graphics from Tumblr, Reddit & other sites where the artist wasn't always identified. I looked up who these artists were to identify them.

    The 1st is by Roger Peet.

    I was a part of #StopTMX in 4 separate frontlines places across mainland BC & saw the ecocide, up close. BC NDP sent their CIRG goons in at remote areas of BC, where we had set up citizens watch stations. CIRG came to harass, beat up & eventually remove us. #RCMP protect corporate interests/profits, not citizens.

  24. #Chinese #professor Jiang Xueqin condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza, saying “the worst thing you can do in modern society is kill children.”

    He argued that #Israel has left itself no way out, describing its approach as “all or nothing” and accusing its leadership of provoking the world deliberately — “starting fights and shouting ‘death to Arabs’ to unite themselves by dividing everyone else.”

  30. #Yemeni #cartoonist - Kamal Sharaf is unapologetic about his bold #political beliefs & #ArtActivism to illustrate his support for the resistance against past & present #ColonialViolence #genocide. He had been targeted, arrested & jailed for his resistance art activism before.

    Most of his strongest #PoliticalArt pieces are targeted at illustrating the collaborative colonial land grabs driven #terrorism from #Israel & #Zionists in #USgovernment - both who blatantly violate #InternationalLaws. Both are guilty of multiple #WarCrimes & both aren't to be trusted. Bigoted buddies in ethnic cleansing genocide of Arab peoples. Best friends in pathological pitiful lying.

  31. 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."
