This is the time to push, disruption, jump, speak, protest, agitate, show up more than ever. Rajah is the last standing city in Gaza - Palestinians should be welcoming convoys, not bracing for massacre. Our humanity is in our collective power; make it known and irresistible.

Israeli forces block #WHO medicine, fuel for Nasser Hospital

For almost 10 hours now, there’s been two trucks filled with medical supplies outside of Nasser Hospital. They’re also carrying much-needed fuel for generators to provide power to the besieged health facility.

These two trucks were sent by the World Health Organization but have been blocked by Israeli military tanks and bulldozers. They’ve been surrounded and prevented from moving.

@DrALJONES Biden said that Iran was responsible for the three US deaths in Jordan because it supplied the weapons. I wonder which weapons supplier is responsible for thousands of deaths in Gaza.

LA FAMINE COMME ARME DE GUERRE : LA NOURRITURE POUR GAZA BLOQUÉE PAR ISRAËL

Propos génocidaires, massacres de masse, enfants tués par milliers, famine organisée, le tout à la vue du monde entier : il n'est pas exagéré de dire que la situation à Gaza est l'une des pages les plus noires de l'histoire de l'humanité.

L’État israélien bloque actuellement l'aide humanitaire d'urgence destinée aux habitant-es de Gaza.

A few tidbits here from an excellent piece by Geoffrey Deihl (aka Sane Thinker, @gdeihl). I hope you'll read the whole thing!
____________________________

As the effects of the climate crisis unfold day by day, what is said is less important than what is left unsaid.

We Americans, beneficiaries of the most powerful empire in the history of the Earth, attempt to go about life as if it’s unchanged, clinging to a fragile veneer. However, the truth is, if we cross a climate tipping point (and five of nine are currently threatened), the effects of climate change we are experiencing today will be benign by comparison.

The unspoken lie is this: that we can change everything without changing anything.

We’re not being told the truth or being offered a vision for a better future. Patchwork technology does not address the fundamentals. Throwaway, mindless consumption culture must end. We must become efficient and make wise choices. We must demand meaning in our lives and recognize time, family and friends are our most valuable assets, not possessions. We can work less and have more.

Degrowth addresses all of these issues. We need to demand it become part of the conversation.

@breadandcircuses @gdeihl that is an excellent article. Thanks for sharing it.

70% of Gaza’s infrastructure is destroyed, limiting access to clean water and sewage facilities. Rubbish is being dumped near where people are living in tents.
