Yesterday marked the 105th anniversary of the #BalfourDeclaration, a fateful, colonial statement by the British government that paved the way for establishing a Jewish supremacist settler-colony in Palestine. Image
The Balfour Declaration laid the foundation for the 1948 #Nakba, the #EthnicCleansing of between 750,000 and 1,000,000 Indigenous Palestinians at the hands of Zionist militias, and subsequently Israeli forces. Image
The ongoing Palestinian Nakba entails Israel’s relentless land theft, denial of human rights & legalized racial discrimination, made possible by massive military, economic & political support from the U.S., EU, U.K. & other complicit states, international orgs & corporations. Image
The #BDS movement for Palestinian rights is a key part of our popular resistance and the most effective and strategic form of solidarity with our nonviolent struggle for freedom, justice and equality. Image
Let’s hold Israel’s decades-old regime of military occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid to account. You can help dismantle apartheid and contribute to ending Balfour’s colonial and inherently racist legacy. Image
TAKE ACTION:

Intensify all #BDS campaigns, pushing for #MilitaryEmbargo on Israel, canceling all complicit events in Israel and boycotting all goods and services of Israeli & international companies & banks that are complicit in Israeli war crimes & crimes against humanity. Image

Planting a flag on genocide.

Germany grants its flag to the MV Kathrin, a ship carrying military explosives destined for use by Israel in its genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

#BlockTheBoat Image
The ship is carrying 150,000 kg of RDX explosives that Israeli Military Industries crucially needs to build more bombs.

Germany must be put back in the dock at the ICJ for its gross violation of the Genocide Convention! Image
Germany’s shameless military support for Israel’s genocide is escalating at a time when Israel is intensifying its horrors in Gaza, burning dozens of forcibly displaced Palestinians, including many children, alive in their tents and brutally starves hundreds of thousands. Image

BREAKING: Chevron halts major expansion of Israeli-claimed gas field amid Israel's ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza and its brutal bombings in Lebanon, Syria and beyond. Image
Chevron is putting the brakes on an expansion project––worth roughly half a billion dollars––planned for an Israeli-claimed gas field in the Mediterranean, Leviathan, citing the worsening “security situation.” Image
Since the beginning of Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, BDS activists have escalated their calls for Chevron to immediately end its support for Israel’s crimes by cutting all energy contracts with the apartheid state. Image

#BlockTheBoat URGENT ACTION ALERT!

The MV Kathrin, is carrying tonnes of RDX explosives to apartheid Israel for use in its genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied Gaza Strip. Israel is also committing rolling massacres in Lebanon and escalating its brutal attacks in the occupied West Bank.

The criminal cargo on board the MV Kathrin comes from Vietnam!Image
Ironically, RDX has become central in warfare since its extensive use by the US in its genocidal war on the people of Vietnam. The Claymore anti-personnel mines made with RDX explode and send a spray of metal ball bearings that act like bullets, shredding people, buildings, and vehicles.Image
RDX is a key component in Israel’s aircraft-borne bombs and missiles that have massacred and maimed tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, close to half of them children.

Israel’s major military company, Elbit Systems, with its subsidiary IMI Ltd, which is importing the RDX on the Kathrin, is one of the largest consumers of this explosive in the world. Already in March this year, industry insiders alerted that Israel’s mass production of ammunition would be limited by the scarcity of the necessary RDX ingredient on the global market.

EXPOSED: Irish government’s insincerity and complicity with genocidal Israel! Image
For almost a year, the Irish people have stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Tens of thousands continue to flood the streets across Ireland to demand an end to the genocide and their government’s complicity in Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity.Image
“No airport in Ireland or Irish sovereign airspace is being used to transport weapons to the conflict in the Middle East," claimed Irish Prime Minister, Simon Harris, in June 2024.

This is simply and scandalously untrue. Image

What's happening in the occupied West Bank?

As Israel launches its most extensive invasion of the occupied West Bank since 2002, channel your rage, frustration, and grief into effective, strategic #BDS action and pressure to stop the aggression, end #GazaGenocide and to eventually help Palestinians dismantle Israel’s 76-year-old regime of settler-colonial apartheid, the root cause of this oppression and unspeakable violence.Image
At least 12 Palestinians have been murdered by Israeli occupation forces since last night. Israel announced a large-scale military operation targeting the north of the illegally occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian cities of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas and their camps, are currently being attacked by Israeli forces. All hospitals in Jenin and Tulkarm are currently under Israeli military blockade, repeating on a smaller scale a brutal tactic employed in the Gaza genocide.Image
Israel’s atrocities have not spared Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem. Israeli forces have been conducting violent attacks, mass arrests, and continuous invasions of cities, villages and refugee camps.

Since the start of Israel’s #GazaGenocide, its forces and armed illegal settlers have murdered at least 663 Palestinians in the West Bank. Israeli forces have systematically destroyed the infrastructure of the streets, storming houses, arresting, killing, and injuring thousands of Palestinians. Ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Palestinian communities is a key goal of these assaults.

Raids by the Israeli military and illegal settlers occur on a daily basis, causing massive losses to Palestinian lives and livelihoods.Image

Number of Palestinians in Israeli prisons
(Data excludes Palestinians arrested/kidnapped from Gaza)

Since 7 October :
⚠️Over 9,840 Palestinians have been arrested.
⚠️Approximately 340 Palestinian women have been arrested. More than 85 are still incarcerated.
⚠️ Approximately 680 Palestinian children have been arrested. 250 are still incarcerated.
⚠️ Israel has issued over 7,500 administrative detention orders, including new and renewed orders.Image
The UN Human Rights Office published a report on 31 July detailing the horrific torture and treatment of Palestinian prisoners:

“Detainees said they were held in cage-like facilities, stripped naked for prolonged periods, wearing only diapers. Their testimonies told of prolonged blindfolding, deprivation of food, sleep and water, and being subjected to electric shocks and being burnt with cigarettes. Some detainees said dogs were released on them, and others said they were subjected to waterboarding, or that their hands were tied and they were suspended from the ceiling. Some women and men also spoke of sexual and gender-based violence.”
