Die-In For Life-In Gaza, 18th May 2024, Old Town in Warsaw, Poland
Organized by the collectives Wschód and Kefija, it was a die-in protest commemorating 76th anniversary of Nakba - the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians during the war in Palestine in 1948. Particularly significant in the context of the on-going genocide in Gaza.
I'm not Rafał Milach and I'll cut my usual irrelevant yadda-yadda to say this: if you know enough of history, either of your own country or theirs, it's very hard not to feel sympathy to those folks. Listening to their stories was incredibly heart-wrenching.
The only 24-hour library on Vancouver Island, the #VIU university library is steps away from the pro-Palestinian #protest encampment that was set up at the VIU quad early Tuesday morning.
The statement did not give a reason for the increased #restrictions.
“I’m a professor who got fired and arrested for protesting Israel’s Gaza war”
For nearly 20 years, Danny Shaw served as a professor of Latin American and Caribbean studies at the City College of New York. But, last month, he was accused of anti-Semitism and fired for his outspoken criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza as well as the use of US weapons and money in the enclave’s destruction.
“They try to label us as terrorists, but what are our crimes? Student encampments, books, the truth?” says Shaw.

Police brutality is as American as an Apple pie. Two things that amazed me most about the US when I was a grad student were its racism and the swagger of its police officers. #students#protest
It’s unbelievable that the police officers did nothing to stop pro-Israel counter-protesters’ violence. They are like Israeli soldiers in #westbank who watch illegal settlers brutalize Palestinians.
The mother of one of the most violent counter-protesters was so proud of her son and posted his photos in action on her social media account.
Die AfD will bei der Europawahl am 9. Juni Rekordwerte einfahren – um dann die EU von innen heraus zu zerstören. Mit einer Protestwelle in den Wochen vor der Wahl stellen wir uns dem entgegen. Wir haben im ganzen Land Demos geplant, auch in Essen. Bitte komm am Sonntag, dem 26. Mai um 14 Uhr vorbei.
I just read someone talking about how anarchists shouldn't wear masks to hide their identity at protests bc then govts will outlaw mask wearing for everyone and that will effect people masking bc of covid.
We've masked at protests for decades - the reason anti-masking laws are coming into play now is because of facial recognition software being used by governments, and because the chipping away at protest laws that have happened over the last 20 years (looking at you, Australia.. you started it and 5Eyes followed) have gotten to the point where they don't have to pretend it's for "the public good".
You all have to get some better critical analysis skills. I'm begging!

Pro-Israel billionaires urged New York crackdown on Gaza protests
A handful of powerful businessmen pushed New York City Mayor Eric Adams to use police to crack down on pro-Palestinian student protesters at Columbia University, donating to the politician and offering to pay for private investigators to help break up the demonstrations, the Washington Post has reported, based on leaked WhatsApp conversations.
"The strategy utilised by the Zionist Establishment within Jewish communities and outside these communities, particularly, in the United States, England, France, Germany and Australia is to engage in an intentional falsification of history and contemporary reality when it comes to the supposedly intractable conflict between Israel and the Palestinians."

"As the world witnessed in the case of the destruction of the highly probable victory of Jeremy Corbyn becoming British Prime Minister, these campaigns of destroying opponents of Israeli ethnic cleansing have been extremely potent and successful.
