Who has a video, with a link to those vile motley crew of Genocide Democrats who mocked protestors as they read out the names of Palestinians slain by Israel in Gaza? TIA

Found it. Never forget how cheap our blood is to them. I don't give a shit what House Arab or Muslim represents their Genocide party, they are traitors just the same. Sold their souls to accede into the death machine and make a buck. All to hell.
DNC attendees cover their ears as the names of dead Palestinian children are read as they leave the convention

why is a jewish man with no ties to our land instructing the world to erase our identity when our people have fought so hard to preserve it? i am proudly south lebanese. we have our own history, traditions and wounds as the people of jabal amel. we can speak for ourselves.
I have a small request to make from the whole world, regarding language: Let's stop using the term 'South Lebanon' or 'Southern Lebanon' when talking about Israel's actions and demands. There is no such thing. There is only Lebanon. Talking about South Lebanon is a huge Zionist win in political language: it creates the notion Israel is not attacking and occupying Lebanon, only 'South Lebanon', a cute little place that is not even a real part of actual Lebanon. Just a cute little bite. They are now doing 'Southern Syria' instead of Syria, for precisely the same purpose: to make it sound like this is not invasion and occupation, only a minor bureaucratic move. There is no south Lebanon and there is no West Bank or Gaza either. There is Palestine, which Israel is occupying in full. We need to de-Zionize language. Let's start with Lebanon. All of it deserves to be free, and none of it is free till all of it is free. Same as Palestine, and Syria.

There is no longer any meaningful media coverage of what is happening in Gaza! After Israel deliberately killed journalists and destroyed most media institutions and news channels, the truth has been silenced, and reporting what is happening here has become an extremely dangerous task, almost impossible to carry out. We are trying, with every ounce of strength we have, to bring the world the reality of what we endure every single day: bombardment, targeted attacks, displacement, starvation, and horrific massacres. We are trying to document what is happening and keep Gaza's voice alive, despite the enormous dangers surrounding us، But the most terrifying reality is that we now fear for our lives simply for filming what is happening, publishing a news report, or exposing a crime to the world! We no longer fear bombardment alone; we have also come to fear that telling the truth itself could cost us our lives، Only a few of us remain, still trying to make Gaza's voice heard around the world. That is why we urgently appeal to you: please do not abandon us. Share our social media accounts as widely as possible. These accounts are not merely social media pages; they are our last remaining voices and our only window through which we can show the world the killing, destruction, starvation, massacres, and genocide we are enduring. DO NOT ALLOW OUR VOICES TO BE SILENCED. DO NOT LET THE TRUTH BE BURIED ALONGSIDE THOSE WHO RISK THEIR LIVES TO REPORT IT. HELP US MAKE GAZA'S VOICE HEARD AROUND THE WORLD BEFORE WE LOSE THE LAST PLATFORMS WE HAVE TO SPEAK ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING.

لو هقول أنه الجريمة دي نتاج لحاجة فهي مش هتخرج برة الحاجتين دول القهر والجهل الناتج عن السياسة والاقتصاد، واللي مقدرش ع الحمار يقدر ع البردعة. والخطاب السلفي المعاصر، اللي جرد الست من كل إنسانيتها، وجعلها فتنة متحركة. فخلت واحد جاهل ومتعجرف يقتل مراته بدافع الغيرة.

Heroic Egyptian doctors, with no institutional back from MoH, going around Sharqiya to administer MMR vaccines on donkey-carts. The methodical destruction of the means of social reproduction is the main site of class war in Egypt, it's our lot in the imperial war on the region.

Lived experience is not political consciousness. The former can be transformed into the latter, but they aren’t the same.

Most professors offer relative advice. I say, "If you can think of a PhD as ~6 years of funded time to read, write, and teach, wonderful. If you think of it as an investment of time and money into a future academic career, you might reconsider/read more about the current market."
absolutely absurd position to take. of course academics will encourage students who are engaged and intelligent to pursue a PhD, because they value academic work!
