“Our homes are filled with mud.” At least 35 people have been killed and more than 40,000 have been forced out of their homes because of heavy flooding in Kenya.
Police in riot gear are being deployed to U.S. college campuses as protesters demand an end to Israel’s war on Gaza.
Police arrested at least 200 Jewish New Yorkers during a Passover Seder, that doubled as a protest, demanding the U.S. stop arming Israel. They were inspired by the 1969 “Freedom Seder,” which called for an end to the Vietnam War.
Nelson Mandela’s grandson talks about his grandfather’s fight for a free South Africa – and why he’s supporting Palestinians facing genocide by Israeli forces. He’s joining the Freedom Flotilla ships as they attempt to break through the Israeli blockade to deliver aid to Gaza.
Students at UC Berkeley’s new Gaza solidarity encampment are drawing inspiration from a similar sit-in that happened in the same spot almost 40 years ago. As @Dena reports, that protest helped lead to an end to apartheid in South Africa.
“[The FBI] responding to a social media post ... is really intended as a form of political repression,” says @GeogNicole. The FBI visited a Muslim woman’s home to question her about her Facebook posts. Here’s how that fits into the U.S. government’s anti-Palestinian legacy.
The richest people in Haiti are funding armed groups and shipping in weapons from the U.S. through trade ports. Some have been sanctioned by the Canadian government and an arms embargo was put in place by the UN - but is it enough?
This country GREW BACK its forests after they were destroyed for agriculture. — with @yelmjouie.
This mother lost two of her sons in recent Israeli raids on the occupied West Bank that killed 14 Palestinians. She had already lost two other sons in an Israeli attack last year.
“Universities first stakeholders should not be the state of Israel, it should be their students.” The student movement for universities to divest from Israel is growing, as schools across the U.S. answer Columbia students’ call to occupy campuses with tent encampments.
This South African illustrator and author created a coloring book for kids to learn about Palestinian history, resilience and freedom.
After mass arrests at NYU, a wall is going up around campus as pro-Palestinian activists call for justice and an end to Israel’s war.
“As soon as I pick up the needle and thread, I feel an immediate connection to Palestine.” Here’s how Palestinians in the diaspora are using traditional embroidery as a form of resistance.
.@wizardbisan and AJ+ have been nominated for a Peabody Award for her coverage of Gaza. For over 6 months, Bisan Owda has shown the world how life in Gaza has been through her eyes. She has told the story of Palestinian survival in the face of the Israeli genocide.
Pro-Palestinian students accused Columbia University of neglecting their safety on campus during a rally in January.
Is the U.S. controlled by Israel? Is President Joe Biden helplessly beholden to the whims of Netanyahu? @SanaSaeed breaks down the media coverage erasing the U.S. government & Joe Biden’s role in the Gaza genocide. Full episode here: youtu.be/HJDhnwc-YVQ?si…
Palestinians in Gaza created a shelter for displaced people out of empty cans of food. Israel is accused of using starvation as a weapon of war.
14 years ago, activists from 40 countries launched a fleet of boats loaded with aid to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza. Israeli troops stormed the flotilla in international waters, ultimately killing ten people. No one has ever faced charges.
These are testimonies of Palestinians who thought they heard children and women screaming for help in Gaza's Nuseirat refugee camp, only to realize that the cries were coming from an Israeli drone broadcasting distress calls to lure them out so it could shoot them.
Pro-Palestinian students are accusing Columbia University of neglecting their safety on campus.
