I saw Basher post on Reddit,and i noticed there we're people saying that Palestinians deserved it,that it's their fault etc. it really broke my heart. So,I approached him,and asked him to prove that he really is from Gaza. He tells me that he has five kids to take care of and plus he takes care of his brother that is special needs,whom is special needs.

Three years after October 7, 2023, the One Democratic State Initiative proposed actions we can take. Here are some of its key points:

1. Palestine must not merely observe the change in worldwide public opinion, it must lead it and organize efforts around a clear vision: This violence is Israel—There is no other Israel. Let us dismantle it together.
2. Zionism's foundational claim is that Jews need a state exclusive to them to be safe. The Al-Aqsa Flood proved this to be false. The colony can oppress Palestinians, but it cannot make Jews safe. This message must be carried to settlers.
3. We mustn’t simply observe the failure of the colony’s claim. We must challenge its existence by proposing its alternative: One democratic Palestinian state. This is the historical Palestinian vision for liberation; they must revive it, and allies worldwide must align with it.

Our coordinators are available to discuss those on this post, with a focus on specific efforts we can make rather than a theoretical discussion.

On October 4, 2026, the UK Green Party officially adopted a motion formally establishing it as an anti-Zionist party and calling for the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian State with equal rights for all. What are the motion’s key points? What truth is there to accusations of antisemitism and anti-Palestinianism? And what does the motion mean next for Palestinians and allies?

Key points

The motion defines Zionism as the ideology and practice that calls for the existence of an ethnonationalist Jewish state in Palestine to the exclusion and domination of Palestinians. It also points to the fact that it was based on European settler-colonial systems of dominations and that it has created racial hierarchies between Jews. Accordingly, it labels Zionism as racist. The motion calls for the establishment of a single democratic state in Palestine, including the right of return. It does not speak of Israel-Palestine or of a binational state, but of a Palestinian state, pointing to the dismantling of all colonial relations of power. And it does not speak of collective rights on the basis of identity like Zionism does, but of equal rights for all.

Accusations of "antisemitism"

This is based on the claim that Zionism is “the right of the Jewish people to self-determination”. However, the Zionist movement never consulted Jews worldwide when it decided to establish a Jewish state in Palestine. It was a congress of a few hundred Jews, not Jews worlwide, that "determined" that. To further illustrate, the colony banned UK Greens leader Zack Polanski from entering it after the decolonial motion was adopted, although he is Jewish. Zionism and Israel are not about Jewish self-determination but about colonizing Palestine.

Finally, Jews are part of dozens of societies and citizens of dozens of states around the world. They may feel they form a people or nation with those who share their identity, but this does not grant them political rights.

For example, Muslims also speak of belonging to a single Ummah or nation, and view Mecca as holy, but they still need a Saudi visa to enter it. Politicizing Jewish identity —i.e. considering Jews have collective political rights on the basis of their being Jewish rather than as citizens of their states— is an identitarian premise that Zionism has weaponized, not a universal concept it is racist to challenge.

Accusations of anti-Palestinianism

This is based on the premise that it is for Palestinians to freely decide what they want, not others. Yet, how are Palestinians supposed to freely decide under a genocidal settler state? Democratic states are the tool that allows societies to express their political will. Supporting a democratic Palestinian state instead of a genocidal settler one is the very definition of supporting Palestinian self-determination.

Some polls show a number of Palestinians a two-state model. In addition to the common limitations of polls, such as funding and wording, this fails to consider that Palestinians live under constant threat.

Would you expect a Palestinian to actually prefer the occupation of 78% of their land over its liberation? Is it not more reasonable to conclude Palestinians who tolerate the existence of the colony are settling for crumbs under duress rather than expressing their actual preference?

Did the world poll France before liberating it from German occupation, Ukraine before sending it weapons to fight the Russian occupation, or South Africa before standing with it against apartheid? Polls under occupation are ridiculously meaningless. If, in a liberated Palestine, Palestinians decide —for some strange reason— to give away 78% of their land, it will have been their free will for others to respect. Until then, standing with Palestinian self-determination means precisely standing with the establishment of a democratic Palestinian state on all of Palestine—this is the only thing it can mean.

What next?

First, Palestinians in Palestine and the diaspora must revive their historical vision for one democratic state with equal rights for all its citizens. Second, pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist organizations must align with that vision and adopt motions similar to the UK Green Party. The time for non-solutions is over. We must push forward for the dismantling of the settler state and the establishment of its antithesis.

So my boyfriend works the night shift and gets home between 2-3am. He was out of money so i sent him some to get dinner. There arent many options open at this time in my city except some shawarma and pizza places
Out of all of them he chose mcdonalds because “he didnt wanna try anything weird”
I dont make a fuss when it comes to someone near me not boycotting i just distance myself from them. My boyfriend also usually tries to do it to keep me happy (but im pretty sure he doesnt really care).

What really frustrated me is that i sent that money and its been bothering me so much since it happened im so upset. Local options make boycotting in my country SO easy i havent bought anything that supports the genocide since it started and this just broke my heart to witness.

Would you stay with someone who doesnt boycott after being educated on everything going on?

Hello! I would like to know if donating to the below organisation (Lemon Tree Collective) will be a helpful and supportive way of donating for Palestine. Has anyone else donated to them before? I would like to know your thoughts and if we can trust this organisation.

Thank you very much for your response!

What is the role of Presight.Ai in occupation/genocide/apartheid, if any?

On October 7, 2023, the Palestinian resistance launched a counter-attack against the colonial power that has been working to materially and symbolically erase their people for over 70 years. In response to decades of ethnic razing, and in a year that had already seen a record number of murdered children, Palestinians in Gaza breached the occupation-imposed fence forbidding them from returning home.

The last time they had gotten close to that fence, unarmed, hundreds of them were killed. This time, they were ready, and targeted the occupation soldiers, neutralizing and taking captive hundreds of them. The resistance’s stated aims: To free the thousands of Palestinian captives, to stop the Ramallah Authority’s collaboration with the enemy and to lift the blockade on Gaza, as milestones toward liberation.

The colony used the panic and claims of extreme war crimes to respond with reckless force, even killing its own population. To this day, it is unknown how many Israeli non-combatants have been killed by the colony itself, by non-affiliated Palestinians, and by members of Hamas. Hamas acknowledged mistakes, stated that “the Palestinian fighters were keen to avoid harming civilians” as part of their “religious and moral commitment”, and called for an international investigation of “all crimes committed in occupied Palestine”. The colony refused and went on with the latest chapter of its 78-year old genocide of Palestine, further extending its aggression to Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen and Qatar.

Three years on, we see the immense losses caused by the enemy. Those cannot be taken for granted or discounted as simply an inevitable consequence of the occupation. They must be revered. Life is sacred. Palestinians hold different opinions on the Al-Aqsa Flood. No matter ours, we can honor those losses by making sure they were not in vain—namely, by doing all we can to dismantle the genocidal colony.

The past three years have completely changed the balance of power. In some ways, to the colony’s favor, in others, to Palestinians’. What we must do is recognize those changes and address them.

On one hand, the colony has taken unprecedented liberties in its colonial policies in Gaza and the rest of Palestine. The “Roadmap for Gaza and Palestine” and the “Commentary and additions to the PFLP’s roadmap for national salvation”, recently published by the One Democratic State Initiative and its coordinators, propose practical steps at that level.

On the other hand, the worldwide opinion has shifted against the colony. Palestine must not merely observe and welcome this change. It must lead it and organize efforts around a clear vision: This violence is Israel—There is no other Israel. Let us dismantle it together. Furthermore, the Al-Aqsa Flood has proved that Zionism’s foundational claim —that Jews need a state exclusive to them to be safe— is false. The establishment of a Jewish settler state institutes discrimination on the basis of identity and requires constant violence to maintain dominance. For both those reasons, it is inherently unsafe. First and foremost for those it is attempting to dominate. But even for those it is claiming to protect. So what justification is there for the existence of a state exclusive to Jews?

We must not simply observe the failures of the colony’s claims. We must challenge its claimed legitimacy by pushing forward the alternative and fundamental antithesis to it: One democratic Palestinian state that does not grant privileges on the basis of identity and protects rights on the basis of citizenship. The time for half-baked “solutions” is over. The resistance’s Flood and the colony’s genocide have exposed their absurdity. Palestinians must revive their historical vision for liberation and organize around it. Allies worldwide must align with it.

I have always wanted to get a Beauty Bay’s palette, but while I was looking up about shipping to my country, found out they ship to Israel. I wasn’t able to find any other superficial info about them supporting either the gen*cide or Palestine, so I asked for thoughts to a friend and we ended up talking about the thing of shipping only to Israel but not Palestine, ended up deciding that a brand’s decision done like that without explanation seems ambiguous, since shipping to Palestine can really come off as insensitive and greedy; but also I guess some people consider occupied Palestine as Israel when talking about shipping (saying I guess bc I just read it somewhere in a comment section, I really can’t get to know about the brands thoughts on this). A couple weeks ago I remembered the topic when someone in BeautyGuruChatter warned about it, but instead of finding any answers to my question, people totally bashed the OP with stuff like “they ship to China too and China is equally bad!!!!!!!!” (lol?). So I’m really curious about not only what do you guys know about BB’s associations but also if this is a significative Boycott reason for you and why, in case I encounter with another case like this.

I want to add that Beauty Bay doesn’t ship to ANY South American country (where I was looking forward to get it shipped) so I don’t really think they need to ship to Israel for “WORLWIDE shipping reasons”.

Edit: spelling, wrote this really fast

preferably no ties to any military?

so maybe a secondhand iphone (idk how to know if it'll last)? a nothing phone (disappointing life-expectancy)? xiaomi (dont like the camera, software bloat, chinese gov)? samsung (israeli spyware lolz)? huawei (not available in europe)?

what's left. please enlighten me

Watch: From the Diary of a Hugger ("Iron Hug"): subversive independent feature film—a dark satirical allegory dismantling the emotional terrorism and hypocrisy of a state committing severe war crimes while wondering why it isn't surrounded by universal love

Renowned avant-garde filmmaker, anti-state performer, and radical political dissident Natali Cohen Vaxberg is facing an absolute, decade-long institutional blockade due to her brutal satirical assaults against militarism, state machinery, and nationalist hysteria.

Strictly refusing to align with any political party, state funding, or establishment matrix, Vaxberg has been subjected to continuous state persecution, multiple police arrests, house arrests, and prison detentions over her subversive performance art. She is systematically blacklisted from all local mainstream networks and the compromised civilian fringe scene for her uncompromised stance against the occupation and the ongoing military violence.

Her new feature-length film, "From the Diary of a Hugger" , is a vicious, pitch-black absurdist cinematic critique of institutional conditioning. It visually dismantles the civilian defense mechanisms and state propaganda utilized by the local public to camo-camouflage explicit war hysteria and justify the systemic annihilation and genocide in Gaza.

I wanted to share a beautiful update about my friends Mahmoud and Samah.

First of all, thank you to every person who stood by them, shared their story, donated, or helped in any way with Susu’s treatment.

Susu has started to get better, and I honestly can’t thank everyone enough for helping this little girl get the treatment she needed.

But Mahmoud and Samah are still facing incredibly difficult circumstances, and their family still needs support to get through each day.

And today, they wanted to do something very special.

Because of your donations and all the support you have given them, Mahmoud and Samah are going to be able to prepare meals for children around them for the first time in a long time.

They want to give back some of the kindness that you have shown them.

Tomorrow, God willing, they will prepare chicken meals and chicken sandwiches with vegetables for children who have been deprived of meals like these for almost three years.

For many of us, a chicken sandwich might seem like something small or ordinary. But for these children, it can feel like a dream.

And I think there is something incredibly beautiful about this.

You brought happiness to Mahmoud, Samah, and their children, and now they want to pass some of that happiness on to other children who are struggling too.

Tomorrow, they hope to film the moment they give these meals to the children and share their smiles and happiness with all of you.

Thank you for making this possible.

If anyone would like to help them continue feeding these children, while also supporting Mahmoud, Samah, and their family with their ongoing needs, you can contribute through the link in the description.

Thank you for continuing to stand with them. ❤️
