Sotto la High Line di Soho c’era una scritta su un muro vicino ad un bar: “Se i ricchi comprano New York, chi farà arte?”. Era un mese prima delle elezioni, prima di Mandani. Era la settimana dell’Assemblea delle Nazioni Unite. Sono riuscita ad entrare negli spezzoni delle proteste perché accanto a me sull’aereo … Da New York a Firenze: Bhaskar Sunkara, fondatore di Jacobin, e Chris Small, sindacalista di Amazon Trade Union, a sostegno della Palestina Leggi altro »
Israel Raids Global Sumud Flotilla, Abducts Over 400 Volunteers, Group Says
“This is an unlawful abduction, in direct violation of international law and basic human rights,” the flotilla said.Led by Tlaib, Lawmakers Demand Trump Administration Protect Flotilla to Gaza
The flotilla, which is carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, has already been attacked numerous times.#OccupiedPalestine #labor #racism #ChrisSmalls #BlackLivesMatter
"Israel Beats American Labor Organizer Chris Smalls (and Only Chris Smalls) in Latest Attempt to Keep Starving Gaza
Smalls joined the Freedom Flotilla on the Handala, a small boat carrying 21 brave souls including medics, lawyers, journalists, and justice seekers who dared to challenge Israel’s inhuman blockade on Gaza. For this act of solidarity, Smalls was violently attacked. Seven Israeli officers beat and choked him in custody, leaving visible injuries on his neck and back. Accounts from the Flotilla say that when his lawyer reached him, 'Chris was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists.' The report further condemns the violence and demands accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment.
No other activist sailing with the flotilla has faced this level of brutality. The message was clear: a Black man who organizes labor and stands with Palestine is a threat the apartheid state cannot stomach.
Yet the media silence is deafening.
Israel has a long and well-documented history of anti-Black racism, even against Black Jews. Ethiopian Jews have faced forced sterilizations, police brutality, segregation in schools, and systemic discrimination in housing, employment, and healthcare. They’ve been treated as second-class citizens in a state that claims to be their homeland. Black asylum seekers from Eritrea and Sudan are labeled 'infiltrators' and caged in detention camps like Holot. Meanwhile, Afro-Palestinians living under occupation face the compounded violence of anti-Blackness and apartheid.
Smalls isn’t a Swedish climate celebrity with a PR team. He’s not a politician wrapped in diplomatic protections or media goodwill. He’s a Black man from Hackensack, New Jersey, who built worker power from a warehouse floor and dared to see his liberation connected to Palestine’s. That makes him dangerous and disposable in the eyes of the empire.
Where are the headlines? Where is the outrage from the same liberals who flooded the streets in 2020 and plastered Black Lives Matter on their timelines and lawn signs? When it comes to Palestine, too many Black liberal voices fall shamefully silent or worse, echo the same white supremacist talking points used to justify genocide. They dismiss Gaza as 'not our issue,' forgetting that Black struggle doesn’t stop at the borders of the imperial core. They forget the Afro-Palestinians who are bombed and starved too. They forget that the Israeli police who choked Smalls operate with the same funding, weapons, and impunity as the ones who killed George Floyd.
Black liberation is not a brand. It is not just a U.S. project. It is inseparable from the fight against all colonial violence and that includes Israel’s apartheid regime. So when Chris Smalls was the only person on the Handala violently assaulted by Israeli forces, it wasn’t an anomaly. It was part of a pattern."

Imagine the level of #racism and #entitlement when you treat a #union man with name recognition and a platform like this. Imagine what these complete and utter shitheads do to the people they occupy, who have no recourse and are ignored by the world.
I dare say they give the #nazi guards in #auschwitz a run for their money.
This is what our rulers desire.

'A popular political figure dramatically assaulted trying to save lives: Sounds like a newsworthy story, doesn’t it? But Smalls’ mission, his brutal detention and his subsequent release got next to no coverage in US corporate media.'
Thanks, again, @FAIR , for shining light where #CorporateMedia would prefer a BLACKout
