Belgium is showing the way on the #Gaza crisis.

✅ Condemned 7/10 killings by Palestinian armed groups;

✅ Questioned legality of some Israeli airstrikes;

✅ Condemned Israel's collective punishment of Palestinians & called for targeted sanctions on those responsible;

✅ Expressed support for the ICC’s role and its ongoing investigation on the situation in Palestine, which includes jurisdiction over the current hostilities between the Israeli government and Palestinian armed groups.

Those who would mock you for empathy have none themselves, and have told the world they are deserving of none. A true warrior knows that the willfully inconsiderate are not worthy of your consideration.

Effective climate action requires us to abandon viewing our efforts as a 'sacrifice'

Everyone from the Congress to the Harvard president is obsessing about a fantasy of genocide -- the claim that the chant "From the river to the sea" is a call for Jewish extermination, while ignoring the actual genocide unfolding in Gaza.

Biden marks one million U.S. COVID deaths after losing political battles

President Joe Biden on Thursday commemorated the COVID-19 deaths of 1 million people in the United States, marking what he called "a tragic milestone" and urging Americans to "remain vigilant" during the ongoing pandemic.

Being effective at convincing people to ignore the pandemic is not the same as being effective at dealing with the reality of the pandemic.
Politicians who claim that the US is "the land of free speech" are trying to silence a Member of Congress who is speaking up about a humanitarian disaster just because of her identity. Hypocritical, unacceptable, and dangerous precedent for democracy.
