In 2012 the UN rang the alarm that Gaza would be UNLIVABLE by 2020. That’s 12 years ago!! Since then,
Israel bombed Gaza to bits in 2014, 2021, 2022 to finally commit genocide & turn it into a graveyard in 2024 while live-streaming it to the planet? Which genocide do they mean?

And the day has arrived 😒Just resting this here from 6 months ago.

There is no way around it. These are deliberate acts. They keep doing it and will continue to do it.

There is such a long, rich history of Black authors using the power of the pen to highlight Black communities’ unique perspectives and plights worldwide.

Of the many out there, here are five you should be paying attention to 👉🏾 bit.ly/4culMWg

Un mondo magico potentemente intriso della spiritualità di Trinidad ma anche del realismo della vita con cui i protagonisti devono fare i conti.

Israel killed over 30,000 Palestinians in less than 150 days.

These are some of the names and faces of people Israel has killed since Oct. 7 across Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

A 25-yr old sets himself on fire in protest of the massacres in Gaza and to support Palestinians at a time of genocide and the Press presents it as a mere suicide, forgetting to mention Gaza, Palestinians, Israel. Goebbels would be proud of the Western Press and Orwell horrified

I’ll never forget the sight of my #African brothers & sisters who were pulled off trains & pushed to the back of the queue when trying to flee the war in #Ukraine . I’ll *never* forget 💔

Keep speaking truth to power Koko & continue to fight the good fight my Sistah 🙏🏽💖

FIDEL at the UN (1979): 'I cannot recall anything more similar to Nazism in our contemporary history than the eviction, persecution and genocide carried out today by imperialism and Zionism against the Palestinian people.'

Trini Mas for Gaza, Palestine.

Israeli forces are killing us while the world watches, and if we’re lucky enough to escape their bombs, we either freeze to death in the south or starve to death in the north.

The occupation, their blockade and your silence will be the end of over 2 millions in the #Gaza Strip.

Rafah is where they forced all Gazans to evacuate to, in case you'd forgotten. It's one giant refugee camp

This gorgeous novel is now available in Italian. Complimenti, Ayanna Lloyd Banwo !
