🧵 1/4: Today was the largest UK #Palestine Solidary Campaign #demonstration I have attended since October 23. It marked 77 years since the #Nakba. I estimated 380/400k, organisers half a million and the police... 20k, the most egrarious figure I've ever heard. That would mean previous rainy demos were around 5k, which is violently deranged. There's ZERO #media coverage bar ONE Independent article quoting 20k. This blanket silence is deafening.

#MIT has banned its 2025 graduating class’ president Megha Vemuri from campus and her graduation ceremony.
« The class president was a scheduled speaker at Thursday’s OneMIT Commencement ceremony in Cambridge, Mass., where she took to the podium, a keffiyeh – a symbol of pro-Palestinian solidarity – draped over her graduation robe.
She praised her peers for protesting the war in #Gaza and criticized the university’s ties to Israel. »

Want to support the Funkwhale 2 stable release and the March to #Gaza movement at the same time?
Just make a donation to Funkwhale during the month of June!
Our volunteer developers will dedicate time to the release based on the amount donated. But instead of keeping the money, all funds will be redirected to support the people participating in the March to Gaza.
Free the music. Free Palestine.

Francesca Albanese, special rapporteur with the United Nations, who was speaking with the crew of the Madleen as they were being attacked by Israel in international waters, repeats that:
“Breaking the siege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.”
“Every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable.”

The BBC is shocked when Israeli soldiers – illegally occupying Syria – identify its film crew, point guns at their heads, strip-search them, then blindfold and interrogate them.
Might it encourage the BBC to report the systematic murder of Palestinian journalists in Gaza?
"As Gaza faces over three months of Israeli blockade, a group of 12 activists is sailing to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid. The Madleen ship was launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and initially planned to sail from Malta last month, but the group’s ship was damaged in a drone attack. The new mission includes the renowned Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who speaks with Democracy Now! live from the Madleen."

Massive demonstration for Gaza and against genocide today in Brussels.
75.000 participants according to the police, and 110.000 according to organisers.
Inspired by the Dutch sister demo, “Draw a Red Line for Gaza” was the largest demonstration in Belgium for years.

Jewish thinker Peter Beinart writes that what Israel is doing to Gaza — he characterizes this as genocide — "will be the greatest spiritual crisis that the Jewish people have faced since the Holocaust. ...
But it will be a radically different kind of spiritual crisis, because the question will not be, where was God when Jews were being slaughtered—6 million of them—"

Israele ha quasi totalmente bloccato l'accesso a internet a #Gaza. Le reti di aiuto locali stanno facendo fatica a coordinare le operazioni e le persone hanno bisogno di comunicare, anche con chi è all'esterno della striscia.

“Israel's defence minister has ordered the Israeli military to block an aid boat headed for Gaza with 12 activists on board, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.
‘I have instructed the military to prevent the Madleen flotilla from reaching Gaza,’ Israel Katz said in a statement from his office.
‘To Greta the anti-Semite and her companions, Hamas propaganda mouthpieces, I say clearly: turn back because you will not reach Gaza,’ Mr Katz said.”

Is it going to take Israel murdering Greta Thunberg for the West to take notice that it is committing genocide in Palestine and end its complicity?

Israel plans on concentrating Palestinians into isolated camps within Gaza after it takes over 75% of the territory, luring Palestinians into those zones by using aid as bait.
