Why is it that all across the world these protests are in diaspora neighborhoods instead of at Israeli embassies?
Dragging a big ass cross through your Iocal Jewish neighborhood on Shabbos during Passover yelling about killing babies and shit is not protesting Israel it's protesting your local Jews. And with some very very old anti-Jewish symbolism.
"#Essex Police are facing fierce criticism over alleged “two-tier policing” after anti-#Israel #protesters marched through a #Jewish area of Westcliff-on-Sea on #Shabbat during #Passover.
Chanting “Stop killing children” and “#Intifada,” dozens of #demonstrators paraded through the residential streets as Jewish families were returning home from #synagogue.
Footage shared online shows the marchers – some at the front dressed in #religious garments associated with #Christianity and carrying a large #cross – making their way through Westcliff, a suburb of Southend. Some held bloodied fabric representing dead children."

Today in Labor History March 16, 2003: Israeli Defense Forces murdered American activist Rachel Corrie in Rafah by running over her with a bulldozer during the 2nd Intifada. She had been defending a Palestinian home that the IDF was trying to demolish as part of their collective punishment of the Palestinian people. Corie was a member of the International Solidarity Movement. She had travelled to Rafah as part of her college's (Evergreen State, in Olympia, WA) senior-year independent-study project to connect Olympia and Rafah with each other as sister cities. Under Trump, her college would likely be stripped of federal funding for allowing such a project, and Corie, herself, might have been deemed a terrorist.
According to a January 2025 report, by the United Nations Office of Coordinated Human Affairs, 92% of all housing units in Gaza are now either destroyed, or severely damaged. 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.1 million residents are internally displaced. And 345,000 face catastrophic food insecurity.

Today in Labor History March 5, 1965: A Leftist uprising against British colonialism erupted in Bahrain, known as the March Intifada. The uprising began after the Bahrain Petroleum Company laid off hundreds of workers at on March 5, 1965. Students at Manama High School, the only high school in Bahrain, went out into the streets to protest the lay-offs. Several people died in the clashes between protesters and police. The authorities quickly suppressed the uprising. However, as news of the crackdown spread, protests erupted throughout the country, creating a nationwide uprising which lasted for a month.
Figure historique du mouvement français de solidarité avec la #Palestine, Marcel Francis Kahn, l'un des fondateurs de l'Association médicale franco-palestinienne (AMFP) puis de l'association France Palestine Solidarité (qui est le fruit de la fusion au tout début des années 2000 de l'AMFP et de l'association France Palestine), est mort.
Il a toujours eu une position parfaitement claire sur la question de #Palestine, notamment au début de la deuxième #Intifada. Un (véritable) intellectuel engagé comme il en manque un peu aujourd'hui...

Today in Labor History December 9, 1987: The First Intifada began in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. It was series of protests, civil disobedience and riots carried out by Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories and within the state of Israel against Israeli repression including beatings, shootings, killings, house demolitions, uprooting of trees, deportations, extended imprisonments, and detentions without trial. It lasted over 5 years, until September 1993, ultimately being suppressed by Israeli military force. Up to 200 Israelis and nearly 2,000 Palestinians died. Both the Oslo and Madrid conferences and Peace Accords stemmed from the First Intifada, as well as the PLO’s recognition of the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state. Another result of these accords was the creation of the collaborationist Palestinian Authority (PA), which currently controls the West Bank, and which had controlled the Gaza Strip, until being ousted by Hamas in the 2006 elections. The PA, which is heavily funded by the U.S. and the E.U.

“The #Electronic #Intifada has therefore retained the UK law firm #Bindmans to defend its interests in the journalistic material on the seized devices, w/ the aim of preventing British authorities from accessing such materials.”
Today in Labor History September 28, 2000: An uprising, known as the Second Intifada, began after the Camp David summit failed and Ariel Sharon, the butcher of Lebanon, visited the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Thousands of Palestinians were killed by Israeli soldiers during this Intifada. Just over 1,000 Israelis died. A tribunal held Sharon personally responsible for the 1982 Sabra and Shatila Massacre, in Beirut, during the Lebanon War, in which 3,500 Palestinian civilian refugees were slaughtered by Phalangist forces, as Israeli soldiers looked on.

#Israel / The teacher who supported conscientious objection: I saw the horrors of the occupation... it has nothing to do with security, but is simply a matter of power and control
Nesher Mayor Roi Levi sent a harsh letter to the Ministry of Education this morning, demanding the immediate dismissal and removal from the education system of a teacher, Ofer Shor, who supported conscientious objection.
"I am 56 years old, live in Haifa, and am the father of two sons, [...] My first encounter with the occupation was when I was a soldier during the first #intifada. I spent many weeks and months both in #Gaza and in the [occupied] West Bank - that's when I first saw firsthand the horrors of the occupation, what it does to the occupiers and especially what it does to the occupied. I saw the endless crimes that the rule over another people brings with it.
"Every time I went out on reserve duty and experienced the effects of the occupation, my distress and difficulties became greater. I also saw that it has nothing to do with security, but is simply a matter of power and control. My distress and frustration grew. Things I saw and things I saw others doing."
Shor says that the second intifada broke out was a watershed moment for him.
"I decided that I would no longer serve in the reserves in the territories, and I would refuse if necessary. In 2002, when the conscientious objectors' letter was issued, I was one of its signatories. Afterwards, I was indeed released from reserve service."
"Today, when I see what is happening in Gaza - the mass killing, destruction, expulsion, systematic starvation, denial of aid and the crimes we are committing; when I see the things happening in parallel in the West Bank - the rampage of the settlers, the killing, the destruction and the unceasing violence that has only increased a hundredfold from the time when I was a soldier - I have no doubt that what I did back then was the right step, and I have no doubt that I would do it again today."
Nesher's Mayor said in the letter that Shor, wait... "is conveying a bad message to the younger generation."
Montreal traffic signs 
apparently hacked to display pro-Palestinian political slogans:
instead of usual traffic alerts, the message boards were apparently hacked to display phrases such as "free Palestine," "escalate now," and "globalize the intifada."
Never forget that Biden, too, is part of the war machine. He's a super-racist, genocide enabling weapons dealer and co-responsible for the genocide in Palestine. He should have been dead or in jail decades ago.
Yes, Trump too. But Trump being evil doesn't mean Biden isn't. People can't seem to hold that in their minds: both "choices" are bad. If the "lesser evil" is a genocidal maniac zionist bootlicker, it's time for other options.
I can't stand people who go all "Biden had such good policies, great guy, would love to have a coffee with uncle Joe" fuck off and open your eyes to reality. The dead in Palestine matter more than your liberal pretense that the democrats aren't part of the capitalist war machine.

The Holocaust Museum replaced the usage of انتفاضة "intifada" i.e. uprising, with مقاومة "muqawama" i.e. resistance.
I wonder why...
You don't have to read Arabic, it is clear that انتفاضة has been replaced with مقاومة

#Göttingen - heute startet trotz Protesten auch in Göttingen ein #Intifada Camp der extremistischen #Studentsforpalestine. Am 27.6. ist eine Pro #Hamas Kundgebung am Unigelände geplant. Die Stadt ignoriert die Leitung der Hochschule und setzt die antisemitische Raumnahme durch
"The #protesters carried a banner that said “It is right to rebel, #Hillel go to hell,” with an inverted red triangle on it, which has come to signify support for #Hamas on social media because the terror group uses the symbol in videos of its attacks. The student demonstrators repeatedly formed inverted triangles with their hands, flashing the symbol at the counter-protesters. Another protester brandished a banner that had a #swastika inside a Star of David while shouting: “#Synagogue of Satan.”
The pro- #Palestinian, anti- #Israel demonstrators chanted “From #CUNY to #Gaza, globalize the #intifada,” and “Hillel, Hillel, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?”
Itamar #BenGvir is trying to start another #intifada. He took a page from #ArielSharon's playbook, making a provocative appearance at the #HaramAshSharif / #TempleMount to deny Palestinian statehood, assert permanent Israeli sovereignty, and call for Gaza's destruction.
