It is also moving ahead with large-scale seizures of #Palestinian land for security buffer zones, and plans to shift control of aid delivery to the army and private contractors, exacerbating fears in #Gaza that #Israel intends to maintain boots on the ground in the territory long-term and permanently displace its residents."

Hundreds of journalists rallied in Paris and Marseille to honour nearly 200 colleagues killed in Gaza and demand press access to the strip
By Bilge Kotan in Paris
Published date: 17 April 2025 15:36 BST
“We support and protect, through our presence, our Palestinian colleagues who demonstrate unmatched courage in sending us images and testimonies of the immense tragedy unfolding in Gaza.”
Media professionals from at least 36 publications, including Agence France-Presse (AFP), Radio France, Mediapart, Arte and BFM TV, participated in the die-in, alongside some freelance journalists.
Journalist organisations, including the European Federation of Journalists and the International Federation of Journalists, supported the protest.

Desperate to crush popular and growing opposition to Israel’s genocide, the Trump regime is shredding our First Amendment rights.

"Desperate to crush popular and growing opposition to #Israel’s genocide, the #Trump regime is shredding our First Amendment rights.
But we’re not backing down. Shortly after Mohsen was arrested, over a thousand Jews and allies gathered for an emergency Passover seder outside ICE headquarters in NYC to demand his and other student activists’ release.
Our message is clear: “Come for one, face us all.”"
Most of us here know that, but many others beyond the Fediverse are still not convinced. Video documentation and expert testimony of horrible crimes is often effective in changing public opinion.
Yes, it did change. But I still think that your concern is misplaced and that the Guardian's error came nowhere close to misinformation.
I should have mentioned the most important factor was the heroic struggle and sacrifice of the Vietnamese people, which did inflict many casualties on the US.
But the massive demonstrations in the US and around the world helped change the consciousness of millions, which ultimately even affected the thinking of the troops fighting in Vietnam. Many times the representatives of the NLF and DRV recognized the vital role of the US antiwar movement.
Unfortunately, both the USSR and China did not do much to help Vietnam, and Nixon was able to play them off pretty well.
Massive and sustained peaceful protests often do work, as they did against the US war in Vietnam. I can't imagine how confronting local Zionists would do anything to help Palestine be free.
Totally wasted sarcasm.
Right here. Biden's policies greatly strengthened Israel and directly helped the genocide.
Is Trump worse? I think yes. But that is still no reason to gloat or to think that endlessly supporting the lesser evil is going to produce any real changes that the world needs.
After reading further, I see your point. Sorry about that.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into checking for the AMP pages. (Never heard of those before, haven't done much with the web for quite a while.)
Many opposed Harris because she continued very active support to the Israeli genocide. Very few believed Trump would be better.
Yeah, he was so much better than Trump. /s
Blame Biden-Harris and the Democrats, not the Palestinians.
Yes, but there is also an archive version posted.
Yes, they are a marketing technique, but I don't know of any other legal way to share them. Please give me any ideas you may have. Thanks.

Yes, and it is very positive that prominent human rights groups agree and document it. These reports can be used to pressure governments, universities, etc. to divest from Israel and to stop sending arms, software, etc. to Israel.
The main point that I "got" is that you like to rant using lots of capital letters. (And I know that it is genocide, but understanding that is not absolutely necessary to act in favor of Palestine. Look at Bernie Sanders - he is a very critical, liberal Zionist, yet his actions in the Senate and his speeches have helped, not hurt, the Palestinian cause, in spite of his refusal to call it genocide.)
