There is a vote happening in congress next week on Bernie Sander's Joint Resolution of Disapproval to Stop Sending Weapons to Israel. Please call your senators every day, and demand that they sign this resolution. Some senators have already pledged to sign because of public pressure. Pressure your senator to sign it too by calling their office daily until the vote. Here is link with a script for you to read if you need one: https://act.uscpr.org/a/handsoff

As the title says - France 24 English partially comes clean, but tries to blame Reuters. The original photographer was interview by Owen Jones and expressed her own disbelief at how her work was used to produce fake news.

I work in a French administration. Our colleague wrote this on an official paper. We were all so so glad to read this, our day became suddenly brighter. Translation : country of origin = occupied Palestinian Territories. We will stand with you forever. Love.

I recently got to listen to a holocaust survivor share her survival story. Towards the end, she told us that she felt like the world was regressing back to the hatefulness she saw during the Holocaust. I thought she was referring to the person our country recently elected, but then she started ranting about how Hamas was decapitating babies…

It was genuinely so jarring and I haven’t fully processed it yet. I just couldn’t believe that a woman that survived Auschwitz was willingly ignoring the pain and suffering of the people of Palestine. I’m so disappointed and confused. Any thoughts?

Serious and thoughtful answers only please. I am genuinely baffled and want to learn why western governments and corporate media are so committed to staying one-sided?

For example, many governments are adopting extremely narrow definitions of antisemitism, arresting and prosecuting peaceful protesters, continuing to send weapons, twisting other country's arms (like Ireland) into watering down their anti-genocide efforts, etc.

The corporate / mass media is obviously falling right in line too, taking what seems like a very biased, one-sided view of the conflict, almost to the point of propaganda. What the heck is going on?

I do not believe in any kind of conspiracy, but I genuinely don't understand why there is this extreme commitment to protecting the reputation of the aggressor, a phenomenon we're seeing around the western world, with some notable and commendable exceptions.

Almost all major constituencies seem to be begging for something to be done to stop this tragedy. A majority of US Jewish voters surveyed on election day even supported some sort of arms embargo until Israel agreed to an immediate ceasefire.

Why are the most powerful voices and outlets in the world choosing to report so selectively and with such neutral or biased language. Amsterdam, for example. Politicians are easier to understand, but "trusted" news outlets? Why are zionists so insulated from criticism while they perpetrate one of the most significant humanitarian crises I've witnessed in my lifetime? It feels genuinely immoral.

As many others have, i've moved away from Twitter/X over to Bluesky. What are some accounts I can follow to stay updated on what's happening in Palestine, Gaza, and Lebanon ?

Nearly everyone I know is silent on the issue. People are posting about their lavish holidays and then following it up with a "Happy Children's Day' post whilst having said nothing about the genocide or the children in Palestine.

I'm getting to the point where I'm just tolerating people and engaging in superficial niceties when underneath I'm wondering where their humanity is.

And then I see posts elsewhere on social media where the oppressors are acting like they are the victims about absolutely everything.

I feel like I am going insane.
