This is a great concept. It's a group of activists putting up posters of the alt text (it looks like) with a black square where a photo would normally be, describing photos of the genocide in Palestine.

Nothing is more annoying than influencers giving themselves permission to dehumanize Palestinians. Here are two examples, but I've seen many more. These are definitely two of the most defensive, lol.
Maybe it says more about the pitfalls of influencer culture (than the individuals), the need to be seen by millions as "authentic," ...
Jeśli oburzają cię graffiti, a nie oburza cię fakt, że ktoś dokonuje czystek etnicznych, to czas przemyśleć, czy twój kompas moralny wskazuje ci dobry kierunek.
Muslims were disinvited to a US Democratic campaign event. Not a good look. I wish we had other options for voting. These people want to do a genocide without people yelling at them i guess:(
1/3 A few things on Yemen. The US bombed them again. Biden is the 4th US prez to do so.
"South Africa’s argument at the Hague that never before have people live-streamed their own extermination resonates with anybody of conscience anywhere. Yemen’s Ansar Allah (commonly known as the “Houthis”) speak for a great swath of humanity when they demand: End the assault on Gaza & deliver medicine to Palestinians." https://mondoweiss.net/2024/01/there-is-no-u-s-interest-in-backing-a-genocide-and-bombing-yemen/

ICJ hearing could last weeks. The trial will possibly last years. It's the first time Israel has bothered to show up and send lawyers. 11 Jan, South Africa presented its case; 12 Jan, Israel.
1/3I saw a clip the other day of Biden being interrupted at what appeared to be a church service where protesters demanded ceasfire and end to genocide and accountability for Biden and the "congregation" responded antagonistically in support of genocide, "four more years."
From Sarah Kendzior. I really appreciate her work. This one links the Palestinian struggle with native people here in the US. Please read & don't just share only.
On folks reaction to Khashoggi vs so many Palestinian journalists being murdered, a lot of times specifically targeted, while wearing press vests and body armor. From Washington Post - one of those should work. Quote below⬇️
What a Palestinian-American Wants You To Know About Dehumanization. Writer Hala Alyan unpacks our responsibility to examine the narratives we’ve been exposed to with a critical lens.
I revisited a book set under Israeli occupation in the 70s. It's an old one, but i think there's still a lot there on Palestinians not being a monolith & violence of occupation.
