8400 years wasted (in israel)
After 8400 years some Israeli people are still considering some HUMANS are not worth a grave, a mourn, and respect.
Look. This second image [see above] shows Israeli police attacking mourners at Al Jazeera journalist’s funeral, Shireen Abu Akleh, “who was shot dead whilst covering a raid. Police fired tear gas and attempted to arrest mourners as they carried her coffin through the streets of Jerusalem. At one point the Israeli forces attacked the pallbearers, causing the coffin to slip and nearly crash to the ground” (SkyNews, May 13th, 2022, https://youtu.be/be8x0MhCzu8 and Guardian News, https://youtu.be/WHqytR_y0I8).
More. On Oct 6th, 2023, “Israeli occupation forces attacked the funeral procession of the young Palestinian Labeeb Dmaidi, 19 y.o., who was shot and killed late in the town of Huwara, south of Nablus at the hands of an Israeli colonist. Following the Friday noon prayers, Israeli military soldiers attacked thousands of mourners heading to the cemetery for burial. Forces attacked mourners with live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets, tear gas canisters, and stun grenades, leading to violent confrontations. Two Palestinians were shot and injured; one by a rubber-coated steel bullet in the Jaw area, and the other by live fire in the foot. Dozens of others suffocated due to tear gas inhalation. Forces also attacked journalists at the scene, attacking them with stun grenades and tear gas canisters to prevent media coverage” (WAFA News Agency, https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/137946).
Also consider this third image [see above]. It seems like some Israelis would maybe prefer to mourn a dog’s death rather than that of Palestinian newborn babies. (https://slowforward.net/2023/11/30/5babies-found-dead/, Nov 30th, 2023).

today, nov 29th, international day of solidarity with the palestinian people
TODAY November 29th, is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, and the #BDS movement is calling for an all day social media storm. Our physical and digital actions can be used together to strengthen our demands:
- Permanent ceasefire and lifting the siege to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
- Lawful sanctions on Israel, including a #MilitaryEmbargo.
- Pressure on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders
Click here for prepared messages and images to use for the social media storm.
Over the last 7 weeks, millions of you have taken to the streets for the largest protests the world has seen in the last 20 years! We are grateful to each one of you who, through your voices and creative actions, have built up unprecedented grassroots power to end Israel’s genocidal war against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. Yet, Western governments are continuing to arm, fund and provide political cover for Israel’s genocide.
We must act urgently to end all state, corporate and institutional complicity with Israel’s genocidal apartheid regime. Palestinian lives and livelihoods literally depend on it. To this end, and as time has shown, BDS is the most effective form of solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle.
Today, we call for escalating worldwide peaceful mobilizations and expressions of meaningful solidarity to stop the genocide including:
- Whenever feasible, organizing peaceful disruptions, sit-ins, occupations, etc.
- Disrupting the transport of weapons, or weapon parts, to Israel, including in transit states.
- Pressuring parliaments and governments to cancel existing military-security contracts and agreements with Israel.
- Intensifying #BDS campaigns and campaigns to cut all ties to apartheid Israel and its complicit academic and cultural institutions as well as sports teams.
- Mobilizing your community, trade union, association, church, social network, student government/union, city council, cultural center, etc. to declare itself an Apartheid Free Zone (AFZ).
- Pressuring your elected officials to demand the International Criminal Court (ICC) issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. The ICC prosecutor should be replaced if he continues to drag his feet and ignore his legal obligations to stop the genocide
If not now, when?
Unite now to stop #GazaGenocide and dismantle Israeli apartheid
