The painting held by the protesters is "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso. It was painted in response to an event during the Spanish Civil War in 1937 where the small Basque town was bombed extensively by Nazi German and Italian forces. 1,645 people were killed and a further 889 were injured. The town was defenseless and held no military gain or strategic value to either opposing forces.
A thousand died defenceless at the hands of an unnecessary military raid. This is a war crime condemned by thousands across the globe.
Tens of thousands more are dying today in Palestine due to Israeli "defences", yet the Western world refuses to condemn them for the same war crime, and dozens more at a much more severe rate.
Guernica communicates the same message today as an anti-war painting, however it is not a conflict if one side has the weapons and the other has their prayers.
Israel is not and never will be the victim.
Israel is an Apartheid Terrorist state.
A four day ceasefire will never be enough if Palestinians are given freedom only to be carpet bombed and buried again. They are grouping the masses to wipe them out more efficiently.
It does not stop at a ceasefire. Palestine must be liberated.

The kids are all right
Yesterday, my community service club was doing outside litter pickup, when I overheard one of my students talking about Israel killing kids.
“Yeah, Israel is killing Palestinian kids. Israel is killing children like us.”
“What!?”
*pulls out phone to show a video of babies in distress after the Israeli air strikes.”
“Huhh! Omg look at her!”

I keep thinking what he meant by “us.” Children their age, racially minoritized people, or was it something else?

my estimation is that the reason the calls for global strike tomorrow (dec 12th) seem uncoordinated is because they're coming from inside palestine and were shared by palestinians inside palestine instead of being organized independently by each country. they seem most focused within the west bank and jordan.
however, we've seen a lot of people worldwide take up this call and several organizers within the US and other countries do it in their own way. one of the primary asks is to just disrupt the global market. if you can't call in sick and must go to work, then don't use your credit card tomorrow. some have said don't log into facebook and instagram—sure. that too. if you can participate in protests after work instead, do that. if you are not an essential worker, if you can shut down a store, and bookstore, if you have a small business, make sure to let people know you are not working because you are striking for palestine. if you're a student and you can, don't go to class. if you're a teacher and you can, call in sick. if you have exams (as many do) you can just refrain from buying anything, join a protest after, or share the boycott news. one student not showing up may not do much—three students not showing up reminds people that there's a strike. talking about it, even if you won't participate in it, helps. talking about it, even just to say "oh there's supposed to be a strike today" helps.
it is a flexible form of disruption. the priority is disrupting businesses and the flow of commerce, so more than not going to work, not using your credit card is far more important.
consider this a trial run in disruption on behalf of those inside palestine. yes bigger and more organized global strikes that can coordinate with local groups are needed. but small chain reactions like this also create disruption, increase pressure, and remind people that the genocide is on-going. they also build up to bigger and more sustained strikes.
Thousands of people have gathered today in the Market Square of Gernika (Bizkaia) - the same place that was bombed by nazis in 1937 - to show support to Gazan people and condemn that what Israel is doing to them is what nazis did to Basque people way back then.
Palestina askatu!! Stop the genocide!!

Yeah I’m two days late but don’t worry about it
Al Jazeera posted a long-form article about the Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza. It talks about who they were, their hopes and their dreams.
At the bottom, there is a Romanized searchable version of the list of names of people killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza.
The first 7 pages are children below the age of 1.
He didn't even get the chance to be named.
This is a genocide.
FREE PALESTINE
CEASEFIRE NOW
Read the full article here:
bisan has just posted a video that israel has lit up the sky, signalling they will bomb tonight, and that she has nowhere to go. she is in khan yunis--the south, where she was told to go to.
you can hear planes overhead as she speaks.
she wants israel to finally admit the truth--they do not want palestinians to go to "safe" parts of gaza, they want people to leave entirely and recreate the 1948 nakba.
please spread the word, please keep bisan in your thoughts, and do not let this happen in silence.
this isn’t art but i was drunk and wanted to make a amv to please my childhood heart and this is what happened

AI defenders will make it seem as if art is this gatekept pastime that only the most elite can partake in and they’re making it possible for the “normies” to create meanwhile one of the most memorable pieces of recent art I’ve ever seen is “My son’s drawing of safe”
For those who are unaware, the IDF has been literally hunting Motaz all week using drones and constantly calling his phone. I guess they've given up on hiring Israeli actors to impersonate Palestinians.

BLUEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The interpretation of Rise Raph as a 'perfect responsible soft boy uwu' is so BORING I'm sorry, Raph is a rowdy adrenaline junkie with anxiety and I won't take this slander any longer
Raph secretly kept an enemy soldier in their actual literal house as a sparring partner. Raph glued his brothers together and dragged them out to fight crime. Raph once asked Leo to punch him in the face to prove he 'takes damage like a boss.' Raph tried to lift a school bus, twice. Raph offered to help his favorite wrestler beat his little brother up. When Leo suggests evacuating Bullhop, Raph says no bc the best defense is a good offense babey. Raph's idea of a 'friendly chat' with April's upstairs neighbor is to put on a black ski mask and go stand menacingly at their door. It takes Raph 10 episodes to conclude that they should MAYBE start training. Raph's plan to get a potentially priceless (and potentially FRAGILE) museum artifact is to punch a car in the middle of a busy street and also cut it in half with his brother still inside.
Raph's never met a problem he wouldn't try to punch in the face and does not know the meaning of the words 'excessive force.' He roughhouses with his bros and drags them out to fight villains and thinks any plan that doesn't involve an all-out brawl is boring and lame. He'll do anything to protect his family from harm and be a hero, but also he eats wet salami off the floor and once single-handedly destroyed a library.
I just adore how, at his core, Rise Raph is such a classic Raph—impulsive and stubborn and caring and passionate. He is a very sweet, strong, honorable guy who has a very powerful sense of personal responsibility... and he is also the exact kind of jock who throws you in the pool at a party without checking if you have your phone in your pocket first.
This is Motaz azaiza's last story tonight.
Trapped in two small areas to die. Waiting to be killed - that is if you were fast or lucky enough to move to the south or the north. Israeli tanks are blocking the roads and they are everywhere in the middle of Gaza strip. It's like a sick game for them. I can't stop thinking about how we failed them, they're dying before our eyes. We're posting but not one video has stopped a bomb from exploding.
But despite all our grief and helplessness, we will not tire. We keep the pressure and we become their voices. We challenge zionists and pressure our governments until a ceasefire happens, demanding the trial of every IOF soldier and the Israeli government. End the occupation.
From the river to the sea 🇵🇸
This little girl doesn't know yet that her hand has been amputated, she says it's so painful and she doesn't have a way to relief the pain. Her injured father is at loss, he has no idea how to tell her.
We need to put an end to this, end the occupation. They think of it as some kind of a joke, a "humanitarian pause" how do you pause a genocide and expect the world to accept it? This is the biggest mockery of our history. The most recorded genocide, everybody is watching yet no one is putting an effort to end it.
![Israel's secret weapon – which may ultimately kill more Gazans than bombs – is disease. That's one of the reasons Israel has been targeting the Gaza Strip health systems & stopping clean water from getting in. They're hoping disease will accomplish even more than missiles.
