We would fill up houses with gas and set them on fire, or we would gather all the pillows in the middle of the living room and set them on fire. Wool burns very well. In a minute the whole apartment was on fire. Mine was a unit made of left-wing youngsters. From Tel Aviv’s higher classes. We don’t hate the Arabs. We did it because it had to be done”.

• “The settlers, the crazy ones, those who believe in a crooked God and do strange things like not bathing or reproduce like rabbits: those perhaps hate the Arabs.

Hello, my dear friends,
The economic and security situation in Gaza is not good.
There are many poor and unemployed people; there is no glimmer of hope or change. Everyone is exhausted and needs help. 🙏😞

@alisca Not being cynical, but there's always going to be collaborators. You know, the ones who say things like "lads, I'm not sure what the problem is; this is a compromise solution" or "why does have to be political---it's the play that counts" or "why should we let down our fans that want to see us play?" and the like. Those voices should be made to feel ashamed of themselves.

A strong show of solidarity against genocide would be a mighty win here. Firm agree on that.

"When the World Sleeps: Stories, Words, and Wounds of Palestine" by Francesca Albanese. My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published in 2026.

Book description: The first woman to serve as United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories conveys the soul of a people through ten unforgettable stories of resilience and humanity. The spirit of a place lies in the people who inhabit it, in the stories that intertwine through its streets. And this is especially true of a land like Palestine, the witness to defining historical transitions and stage to one of the most painful chapters in contemporary history.

These stories are compelling and bring out the human experience and trauma. They helped to broaden my understanding. I'm so glad I read this book.

Petition to remove Pink as UNICEF ambassador.

#israel #genocide #Gaza #Palestine #FreePalestine #BDS

Fuck Ed Sheeran, fuck Pink, fuck Robert Kraft/Kraft Group – #BDS. Thank you, Macklemore, and Free Palestine!

***

“Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.

But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don’t lose sight of that.
…
Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues.

Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words “Free Palestine” and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn’t get past his public facing, “I don’t take sides.”

And I get why people don’t. Taking a side can cost you. Money, brand deals, sponsorships, festivals, private shows, relationships and access. I’ve lost all of those things. But there is no neutral position between the oppressor and the oppressed. When one side has the bombs and bottomless financial and military support from America, refusing to take a side doesn’t leave you in the middle.

What I said at MetLife I have been saying on stages around the world for almost three years. So why is it an issue now? Because now I’m sharing a stage with one of the biggest artists in the world, in some of the biggest stadiums in America. At a certain level of exposure, “Free Palestine” becomes too much of a risk. If I kept doing the shows, saying Free Palestine, with Ed implicitly supporting it, the crowd getting loud and showing undeniable support for Palestinian liberation, what artist might speak out next? The stage becomes resistance. Maybe that’s why this time it became so important to silence me.

And one of the most effective ways to enforce that silence has been to weaponize the accusation of antisemitism. Antisemitism is real. And that is exactly why the word matters too much to be used as a shield against criticism of the Israeli state. When criticizing Israel, opposing Zionism or saying “Free Palestine” gets conflated with hatred of Jewish people, it doesn’t protect Jewish people. It protects Israel from accountability.

I hope this isn’t the end of my relationship with Ed. Thirteen years of friendship doesn’t disappear because of one painful disagreement. I hope we both continue listening, studying what is happening in Palestine and wrestling with what neutrality means in a moment like this. My door will always be open to continuing that conversation.

When my brother Omar was doing the subtitles for the video I posted from MetLife, I thanked him. He told me there’s a phrase in Arabic:

لا شكر على واجب

“La shukra ala wajeb.” There is no thanks for a duty.

That stayed with me. Because that’s what this has become for me and millions of others around the world. A duty. Not something deserving of praise or gratitude. Not brave. Human.

Who is winning the internet, who is getting canceled, who gets to play the stadium and who doesn’t, all of it becomes so small when held against what we are actually witnessing in Gaza and the West Bank. An entire people being displaced, starved and killed while the world debates which words we are allowed to use to describe it, how those words make us feel, and whether our discomfort matters more than the people living through a genocide.

I didn’t need 10 shows from Ed. I needed 2. Two chances to stand in front of 90,000 people and say the words that somehow became too dangerous to say.

Free Palestine.

But if those words cost me the stage, while turning the conversation back to Palestine, then it was the most successful tour I’ve ever been on.”

PS. This is happening everywhere even if you don’t hear about the less famous examples.

I was removed from keynoting a conference in the Netherlands this year when the suits in Florida whose event it was saw that I’d called for a moment of silence for Palestinian victims of genocide at my last talk.

(The folks in the Netherlands who were hosting it and had invited me to speak were as horrified as I was and I got my sizeable speaking fee – which goes to our not for profit and supports our work on the Small Web – regardless and they told me they never would have hosted the conference if they had known what the Floridians were like.)

The evil, criminal motherfuckers who are funding, arming, defending, and thus actively complicit in genocide know that the world is starting to see through their lies when confronted with the truth. So their only weapon now is to try and muzzle the truth tellers.

A post by Macklemore about how he has been dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour for saying Free Palestine, and how it's worth it.

“The IDF listens to all Gazan phones, so they know where people are and whether children are home. They know who’s in an apartment just before the missiles hit, and they hear the screams after the explosions. They even coined a phrase – ‘Where’s Daddy?’ – to describe listening in on a child’s phone, determining when their father will be home, and then sending a missile to kill them all. As one solider matter-of-factly says about a 12-year-old, ‘You hack her phone, and then you kill her.’”

RE: https://beige.party/@phaedral/117247321791025236

"Never Again" means "never again to ANYONE"

"The Israeli military hacked into phones to identify the location of such targets, and covertly listened into conversations with their wives and children moments before they were all killed."

"Several interviewees worked in a secret intelligence unit that reports directly to the office of Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu; one said their mission was to “thwart peace”."

“We made this film out of a sense of obligation to use our position as Israeli film-makers and journalists to examine the systems behind the mass killing of Palestinian civilians for which our country is responsible,” Abraham and Szor said in their directors’ statement.

The directors stressed the film’s focus was not on “sporadic war crimes committed by rogue soldiers”. “It is on the orders themselves, the policies, the accepted practices, the language and logic that make those practices possible, and the people who operate within them,” they said. “The system and its cogs.”

"A few days after I started #reading #DaraHorn’s new #book, I was called a “#kike” for the first time to my face.

It was a sunny afternoon and I was wearing my Newsguild shirt. A person on the sidewalk, deshabille, possibly collecting junk, asked what union I was in. Against my better judgment I engaged, believing them to be a fellow worker. I said I was a journalist. They then decided I was a “fascist” and “complicit.”

“Do you like writing about the #genocide in #Palestine? The war in #Iran?” they asked me, trailing me past a #Judaica store in a very #Jewish neighborhood.

The UK Government believes in open and honest dialogue and has a fundamental commitment to a two-state solution, with a safe and secure State of Israel and Palestinian State. I raised the sharp escalation of settler violence and settlement expansion, as well as the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. I said Israel must crack down on violence in the West Bank, and must immediately end blockages on aid into Gaza. I reiterated that Hamas must decommission its weapons, the IDF should withdraw, and that we must see progress on the 20-p 20-point-plan We discussed shared security challenges and agreed on the need to stamp out the scourge of antisemitism around the world. We also discussed our vital shared interest in ensuring that we never see a nuclear Iran. ED MILIBAND FOREIGN SECRETARY"

“Jews are execrable insects with parasite-hijacked brains.”

Zionism is antisemitic and always has been antisemitic.

To conflate antizionism with antisemitism is, itself, antisemitic.

Zionism is fascism.

Antizionism is antifascism.

(Oh, does it matter that he was only talking about “the wrong kind of Jews” – those who oppose Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people – while denying that a Holocaust survivor couldn’t possibly be a Holocaust survivor because they do so? Yes, actually. It makes it even worse.)

@Codeberg I just received this email, titled “Your recent Mastodon post” from @dpk on behalf of the Codeberg “Presidium”:

***
Dear Aral Balkan

In your Mastodon post at <https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/117041803584140945> you publically criticized a repository that was hosted on Codeberg, despite linking to an issue thread in which it was made clear that the content should be reported through our usual internal channels for moderation. The repository in question was reviewed by the moderation team and removed. We understand that you suffered reputational damage as a result of this repository’s content, but this does not justify damaging the reputation of Codeberg e.V. in turn. The moderation team is still a volunteer operation and sometimes it takes a few hours for someone to be available to deal with reports or to ensure that consensus exists.

We therefore warn you not to make posts of this kind that could damage the association’s reputation in future. Acting against the interests of the association can be grounds for exclusion from the membership (§5 (5) of the by-laws). If you have issues with content posted on our site in future, please report it to our moderation team at abuse@codeberg.org. In general, reports sent to that email address will usually receive a reply describing what action was taken once the moderation team has considered how to deal with the reported content.

Kind regards
Presidium
***

So, I have a problem with this.

My post in no way damaged the reputation of Codeberg. It publicly asked them to do something about it and to state, publicly, where they stand on an issue. An issue, may I add, that has to do with real people facing actual genocide as we speak. Not to mention I thanked them for making the right decision (https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/117043586669877395). If anything, until this email, it made the organisation look better. Unless, of course, opposing certain genocides is something that damages reputations in Germany.

I do not agree with the public issue being closed either. An issue was reported and the response was not “oh, this is serious, we’ll look into it”. It was, rather, “you reported it wrong. Report the same thing at this other place instead.”

And that other place is an entirely opaque internal system where no one gets to see what decision-making process is employed.

This is not the transparency that should exist in a member-run organisation.

So at the end of the day, I am the one being threatened with being removed from membership while the person who is actively trying to harm genocide victims (https://codeberg.org/Linux-Is-Best/) is still welcome on Codeberg?

This is a very insidious form of bothsidesism and, I can only imagine, is to ensure that I keep quiet in the future and to create a chilling effect where we cannot discuss certain things publicly for fear of reprisals.

Well, that won’t be happening.

I am sick and tired of people who cannot provide a proportional response when asked to choose between people harming genocide victims on the one hand and those trying to protect them on the other.

If this means I cannot be a member of Codeberg, so be it.

Let me know if I’m not welcome there and I will leave.

And you can show the world that Linux-Is-Best is welcome and I am not. If that’s who you are.

It appears that Linux-Is-Best’s libellous blocklist of “Gaza Verified scam accounts” has been removed from Codeberg.

I appreciate your taking action @Codeberg; thank you.

RE: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/117036096486689894

Dear @Codeberg,

According to the anonymous Linux-Is-Best account, I am a scammer and Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org), which I made and help run, is a scam, and every person from Gaza we verified using video calls – all 303 of them, by last count¹ – is also a scammer.

(Please see: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/2971)

This presents a problem because I am also a part of the Codeberg organisation as an active member with voting rights.

And the Gaza Verified source code is hosted on Codeberg:
https://codeberg.org/small-web/gaza-verified.org

(We’re clearly a very transparent scam operation that believes in FOSS, etc.)

So, if Linux-Is-Best is right, you are harbouring a known scammer in your organisation. Furthermore, by allowing the source code of the scam on your site, you could be held liable if you know of the scam but do nothing about it.

So, please:

1. Either remove me as an active member (and give me notice so I can cancel my direct debit and have time to migrate my account and projects elsewhere), or

2. Take down the libellous claims by this anonymous troll who is causing real harm to people facing genocide in Gaza (and who is thus, himself, complicit in genocide).

So I’m either a scammer and I should not be allowed to be part of the Codeberg organisation or the anonymous Linux-Is-Best is a libellous, genocide-complicit troll and should not be welcome at Codeberg. Because both of these cannot be true at the same time.

I’ll leave it to you to decide who you would rather want associated with Codeberg.

It shouldn’t be a very difficult decision to make.

While nazis run round the country starting fights and trying to burn people out of their homes are called 'activists' people like this man are called 'terrorists'

How long does Andy Burnham think he can run from this issue? Will he carry on the mistakes of the previous guy?

Hitler was clearly just born at the wrong time. If he’d been around today, The West would be selling arms to Nazi Germany, denying, profiting from, and complicit in the Holocaust, and disregarding ICC warrants for his arrest. Ask me how I know.

"#Washington’s official #voterguide is hosting a call to murder #Jews, and the state stamped its own name on the page.

#DavidWBlomstrom, a perennial #candidate challenging Rep. #PramilaJayapal (D-WA) in #Seattle’s 7th Congressional District, whose own record on #antisemitism I have documented at length, used his taxpayer-published statement to declare war on an entire people. It is one of the most nakedly #antisemitic documents I have ever seen posted on a government website.

#Blomstrom opens his official candidate statement with a single word: “Jewarchy.” He then bragged about the label it earned him nearly a decade ago.

“People called me an ‘#antiSemite,’ whatever that is,” he continued, pretending not to know what the word means. “Then came the #Gaza #Genocide. Now you know what I was talking about.”

From there it gets worse."

Ok. This is a local far-right talk radio/print news source, but no one else covered this. So its all I got. 🤷‍♂️

The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church just called the police on me. The police were very nice and understanding and let me go after a brief talk.

I have been seeking #Justice after being assaulted by the guards at Hope Services ( a catholic charity), in #Kona #Hawaii . Several other #homeless people had confided in me that they were being abused, but did not dare speak out, for fear of further violence. Also, they depend upon the charity for food.

I approached the catholic leaders politely in Kona, and they did not take responsibility. Then I moved to #Tokyo seeking political asylum.

I approached Mr. Takaii, a priest at the #Meguro Catholic Church, and asked for answers concerning the abuse. Mr. Takaii told me that he did not speak any English, though we had been talking in English for a few days, and he speaks English fluently.

After persistently and politely raising questions with the Takanawa church, I kept being stonewalled. I still have questions about why they cannot feed me 3 meals a day, turning me away hungry, though they just held a fundraiser for #hungry people in the Philippines. The priest, Mr. Noguchi harshly told me to go back to America.

Just now, I returned to Takanawa church from the police station, and Mr. Noguchi handed me a letter from Mr. Wataru Suematsu, the parish leader, banning me from church, and threatening police action.

I intend to get justice for me, and for other people the Catholic Church continues to abuse.

The Catholic Church is doing something shady with the money, as it is a lavishly constructed church, with a big attendance on weekends, and collects a lot of money.

The Catholic Church is an organization by and for, old white men. They will always elect an old white man as #pope . A 39 year old Japanese woman will never be pope.

The organization was funded by loot from #colonial #genocide, which it continues to hold on to, and continue as a big mind-manipulating business. Even as pope after pope apologizes for the atrocities of the church, the abuses continue.

Pope Leo has called for #peace though he has not yet asked his followers to resign from the #military which would be a real follow through.

People of the world, from countries that the church looted and impoverished, are rising up and demanding #reparations

There’s so much blood on the hands of the church, that the pope’s crocodile tears are not enough to wash them away. Empty words are not enough. People demand to be made whole.

Please boost this message, to hold the church accountable.

"Every utopia eventually decides who does not belong.

If #BarbaraButch’s name sounds familiar, it is because this was not the first time she faced the mob. Two years earlier, after the opening ceremony of the #Paris #Olympics, she became one of the principal targets of an international campaign of abuse. Then, the outrage came from the #Christian right and the reactionary internet. She was denounced as a blasphemer, a desecrator of #Christianity, a symbol of civilizational decline. Tens of thousands of insults and death threats followed. That hatred nearly destroyed her. But it had no headquarters. It was a swarm—furious, anonymous, leaderless, dispersing as quickly as it had formed.

This time was different.

The crowd that came for her in #Grenoble called itself #antifascist. Its organizers accused her of complicity in “#genocide” because she had signed a petition supporting a #French bill against contemporary #antisemitism."

How about putting the #settlercolonial #apartheid project currently committing #genocide in #palestine down like the mad dog it is? You’d see emissions tied to their extermination campaign plummet, the #iran situation would be resolved, and all the countries in the region could stop wasting energy keeping the colonisers at bay.

Someone was arrested in Scotland yesterday for reading the poem "Don't mention the children" by professor of children's literature, Michael Rosen.

The West really doesn't want us to mention the children of Gaza that Israel has murdered and continues to murder.

The disinformation campaign against the #Katyn massacre appears to be part of a wider Russian effort to rewrite history.

Circassian émigré organisations have published an open letter protesting against a film broadcast on state media which distorts the history of the conquest of the #Caucasus in the 19th century – as a reminder, the Russian military campaign lasted almost half a century and resulted in the extermination of 95% of the region’s indigenous population.

Most were massacred, whilst some fled to Turkey (“muhajir”). The contemporary Russian narrative first portrays the Circassian peoples themselves almost as savage subhumans to justify their conquest, and then speaks of “voluntary migration” and “geopolitical misfortune” when describing what was in fact #genocide and exile.

Added to this, of course, is Russia as the “bearer of civilisation” (Putin even enshrined this in the constitution in 2020).

A UN commission of inquiry report details how Israel deliberately kills Palestinian children.

"There is no doubt whatsoever… that every international legal norm has been violated by the actions of the Israeli authorities towards Palestinian children, and they need to be held accountable.”

The report found Israel is deliberately killing and torturing children – and subjecting them to sexual violence – as part of its genocide against Palestinians.

The commission chose not to name the children because they didn't want Israel to take revenge on their families.

Read that again.

‘Starmer’s record on Palestine, however, is perhaps the most damning chapter of his tenure- ironically so given that he built his career as a human rights lawyer. He set the tone just days after 7 October 2023, when, in an interview on 11 October, he said that Israel had "the right" to withhold power and water from Gaza. These comments triggered a string of resignations by Labour councillors, with one describing them as "horrifying" and as effectively endorsing a war crime.

A #Nazi today = those who participate indirectly or directly with the #system and #accept the various big or small #genocide happening and see it incrementally making things worse and doing little about it.

Calling the average person a type of #Nazis might be fair AND measurable...

Good.

There has to be a presumption that everyone who has served in the #Israeli military over the last three years has been involved in the #GazaGenocide . The #GenocideConvention REQUIRES all signatories to prosecute and to punish those who take part in #Genocide

When ordinary #Israelis believe that, if they serve in the military, they can never leave #Israel, the oppression of #Palestine ends.

Spain has a looong history of doing this shit going back to la Reconquista and their centuries-long expulsiones of moros and sefaradís. they did it as late as the early 1900s, with "mysterious" burning of archives on their way out of their last Caribbean colony, Puerto Rico.

NEW | 1,000 Palestinians Killed After Gaza ‘Ceasefire’ as Israel Deepens Occupation and Humanitarian Catastrophe

More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced in October, exposing the gap between promises of calm and the reality on the ground. Israeli attacks continued across the besieged strip, claiming at least 1,005 Palestinian lives.

Israel has also expanded its occupation in Gaza to 64% of the Strip, while displacement, destruction, and forced evacuations persist. The anticipated second phase of the agreement, which was supposed to include an Israeli withdrawal, has yet to materialize.

The humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. Gaza’s healthcare system remains on the brink of collapse, with only 20 of 37 hospitals partially functioning and no fully operational hospital remaining. Aid access remains severely restricted, reconstruction has not begun, and nearly 1.9 million Palestinians remain displaced.

Since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed, while vast areas of the Strip have been reduced to rubble.
