Today's demo for Gaza in Assen. A group of us greeted a woman who has been cycling across the country pulling a trailer with a Palestinian flag, speaking about Palestine and handing out information all the way.

There was also a reading of names of children who have died in Israel's assault on Gaza. Because the Israelis have murdered such a huge number of Gazan children we only had time to hear the names of a very small percentage of them, and tomorrow the list will no doubt be even longer.

Who could possibly remember all the names of the innocent people killed?

Free Palestine.

Fuck Israel.

BDS forever.

Now they recognise it? Now, when over 30% of deaths in this #GazaGenocide have been children? Now, when there is almost nothing left to recognise?

We need a formal recognition from @ukgovofficial of Israel’s #genocide and a promise to stop arms deals with Netanyahu.

Al Jazeera · UK recognises Palestinian statehood 108 years after Balfour DeclarationBy Maziar Motamedi

I don't know how my family and I survived that day. We woke up to the sound of a nose. It was as if an earthquake had struck the area. My children and I were in a state of shock when we saw the roof of the house and the stones collapsing on us. We lived through the horrors of the Day of Judgment. My children suffered bruises and fractures all over their bodies. We left our house without taking our clothes and belongings. I still need your help and support @aral @joynewacc #gazagenocide

Continued thread

For some reason, thinking about some Iranian issues reminded me of another more tragic and horrific day(s) that happened 43 years ago around this time of year. The massacres in Sabra and Shatila. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabra_an For some reason, that event has stuck in my memory for all these years. I don’t know why this particular tragedy hit me so hard at the time. I was living in a news desert at the time because Kenya, where I lived at the time, controlled all media and you only got the news they cared about, like what was the President doing today. (Moi really prepared me for the Orange Shitgibbon.) Unlike one dictator preparing me for another dictator’s appearance, one massacre did not prepare me for a genocide. It is still as gut-wrenching, horrific, and agonising to hear about today. Why those who have the power to do something to stop this evil don’t do something is beyond me. #sabraandshatilamassacre #gazagenocide

We should take a moment to appreciate how #gazaVerified shows the potential of the #fediverse. Blocked and suspended on corporate controlled social media, @joynewacc has managed to organise mutual aid for gazans suffering the #gazagenocide with the help of @aral .

With media of all kinds becoming more controlled and censored, this is a way forward. We need to build the social media to resist genocide, not enable it.

This is your daily reminder that Microsoft is subject to a BDS boycott due to its active support of the IDF during the genocide in Palestine via Microsoft Azure & AI services. Microsoft has additionally actively tried to purge pro-Palestinian dissent among its employees and has repeatedly fired people for objecting to its complicity in genocide. If you support Microsoft (or its products) with your money or with your voice, your supporting is helping to enable genocide.

This boycott targets most of Microsoft's products and services, including the entirety of Microsoft's gaming division. This means every company owned by Microsoft - and unfortunately, that is a lot.

Popular developers owned by Microsoft include ID software, Bethesda, Activision Blizzard, Obsidian Entertainment, Double Fine, and Mojang.

Popular & upcoming games included in this boycott are Overwatch 2, Minecraft, Doom: The Dark Ages, the Oblivion Remake, The Outer Worlds 2, the Elder Scrolls Online, every Call of Duty game, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, the Forza series, and more.

If you aren't willing to stop playing these games, please consider at least not spending any money on them and not amplifying them on social media. It sucks, I know. I have been a huge fan of ID software and Bethesda for much of my life. But they will still be here in a few years, whereas if we do not do everything in our power stop the genocide in Palestine, Palestine may not.

The UK cannot plead ignorance: complicity in genocide
A United Nations commission of inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The United Kingdom is not a bystander in this conflict. It sells arms to Israel, licenses components used in its fighter jets and missiles, provides military training, shares intelligence, and allows British spy planes to conduct surveillance flights over Gaza.

AOAV · The UK cannot plead ignorance: complicity in genocide - AOAVA UN inquiry has found Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, leaving the UK at risk of complicity through its arms sales, military support, and intelligence sharing.
