“You need to destroy their offspring to prevent them from creating more offspring.”

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.

This is correct.
Just because they were prevented from delivering the aid and were kidnapped, doesn't mean they didn't do huge good.
A huge number of people noticed, and saw the injustice in Palestine, and some even looked past the official propaganda to learn about the real history.
Even the mockery from the "right wing media" eg Sky Australia, caused people to look deeper.
And that is a huge success.

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.”
https://www.rte.ie/news/2025/0608/1517344-madleen-gaza/
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.

For all the valid criticism of #Israel 's wars, _please_ don't stoop to tired old antisemitic tropes of Israel/"The Jews" manipulating everyone into going along with them. There are plenty of _other_ reasons for other nations to go along with Israel beyond "The Jewish Conspiracy". A few examples:
- Conservatives in both Europe and North America are heavily invested in a "Clash of Cultures" narrative, with the "Christian West" against the "Muslim Hordes". They don't give a damn about Muslim lives - whether in #Gaza or elsewhere - and they are in favor of anything that inflames tensions between Muslims and everyone else - because that gives them a pretext for arguing that Muslims "don't belong" into Western Nations and eventually purge any Muslim residents.
- Special mention goes to certain strains of American Evangelicals who believe that Israel needs to be "restored in its historical borders" so that Jews will mass-convert to Christianity and another milestone is reached on the path to the End Times.
- And Saudi Arabia sees #Iran as a major regional rival (on top of the whole Sunni-Shiite conflict) and has found Israel a very useful partner in keeping them in check.
So yeah, assign blame to the Israeli government where it is due. But they are not the only ones with agency, and they have had a whole bunch of willing enablers. #antisemitism

The #UN’s office for the coordination of #humanitarian affairs said Sunday that it is witnessing “a chilling pattern of Israeli forces opening fire on crowds gathering to get food” in #Gaza.
#Israel began allowing food into Gaza this past month after cutting it off completely for 10 weeks. Most of the supplies go to the #GazaHumanitarianFoundation, an Israeli & #US backed private contractor, which operates 4 food distribution points inside Israeli military zones.

"War has broken out between Israel and Iran. [...] At the same time, #Gaza continues to starve and the #WestBank remains under military lockdown. Fear is deepening, trust is unraveling, and it’s getting harder to know what to believe, let alone how to stay hopeful. But through all of it, people are still showing up — organizing, resisting, and refusing to give in to the logic of violence.

#DeathWorld / How Israel and the US create a "death world" breaking not only Gaza but the foundations of humanitarian law
[...] "today, the death world we know is Gaza."
Gaza has become a place where the conditions are so systematically destructive and dehumanizing that its inhabitants exist in a state between life and death - where normal human existence has been made impossible through deliberate policy.
Israel's systematic destruction of Gaza over 88 weeks that has killed nearly 56,000 Palestinians, including over 15,000 children, while displacing 1.9 million people are crimes.
Hansen shows how US officials privately acknowledged Israeli war crimes while publicly defending them. State Department resignees describe how the Biden administration ignored clear evidence of deliberate aid blocking and civilian targeting, with one official stating that Biden administration officials "completely forfeit any right to critique the Trump administration for lack of morals" after laying the groundwork for lawlessness.
Both governments have deliberately shattered the post-WWII international legal order, creating what the author calls a "death world" in Gaza through systematic violations of humanitarian law.

At least 62 people reportedly killed across Gaza in Israeli airstrikes overnight and into Saturday. @AssociatedPress reports:
The United States wants the unilateral authority to decide who should be able to use certain technologies.
In a new piece, I talk about everything from Iran to Andor to discuss how US tech supremacy gives it power over others that it’s working hard to maintain — to all of our detriment.

Just do want to say briefly that Bob Vylan saying “Death to the IDF” was an important, strategic and, yes, brave thing to do. Of course it pushed the limit of what is acceptable, was shocking to hear at Glastonbury (i was shocked!), but that was the point.
He single-handedly shifted the Overton Window on what is said. And he was right: The IDF is a violent war organisation that kills unarmed civilians on a daily basis and should indeed come to an end. We all know this, actually. #Gaza
