If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

"What we’re seeing today in the U.S. is increasingly fascist. MAGA, I believe — and I study fascism, I don’t say this lightly — is a fascist movement.”

“Israel is not fighting a war of self-defence. It is fighting a war of aggression. A war to occupy more territory, to strengthen its Apartheid apparatus and tighten its control on Palestinian people and the region”

Good thread from Rutgers professor and the antifascism expert Dr. Mark Bray who was forced to flee to Spain with his family after receiving deaths threats. One message he received said "We gonna kill you in front of your students"

Mark Bray @mark-bray.bsky.social · 15d

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

The world witnesses the horrific Israel’s genocide of Palestinian people for almost 2 years. Not recognition of genocide by Canada. Not a single sanction on the Israeli regime. History will not forgive.
Inaction is complicity
Moral failure

#Gaza is not a warzone – it is a graveyard for humanity’s conscience⚠️

Palestinian children are being starved to death and killed by bombs in their tents. It must stop now.

We urgently need international action to protect children & families now. We cannot fail them❤️

Israeli forces killed over 20,000 children in Gaza since Oct/23.
Gaza has the largest numbers of child amputees in the world.
Thousands of families are slaughtered, generations. Total devastation. Bombs & man-made starvation.

Sanctions from Canada? No.
Ban on artists fighting against genocide? Yes

Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk.bsky.social · Sep 8

Israeli forces have killed at least 20,000 children in Gaza since October 2023.

This is a deeply shameful statistic for our collective humanity – a horrific new low.

Every single one of these 20,000 children had names, favourite subjects in school, and hopes and dreams for the future.

The US could've forced Israel to accept a ceasefire two years ago. Instead, it spent $38 billion enabling Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and fighting a regional war on Israel's behalf.
www.stephensemler.com/p/us-has-spe...

The US has spent at least $38 billion on Israel since October 2023. The single column chart shows $38.2 billion in US military spending on Israel from October 2023 through September 2025, including: $18 billion arming Israel, $6.1 billion defending Israel, $14.1 billion waging war on Israel’s behalf. Data: Pentagon financial records, enacted legislation, media reports, author analysis. Figures are conservative estimates in constant 2025 US dollars.

Donald Trump addressed the Israeli parliament (Knesset) earlier this afternoon.

“Bibi would call me for this weapon, for that weapon…. I would give them to him…. You put them to “good use”.

He adds, "It will be the golden age of Israel".

More evidence of his complicity in a genocide.

Israel has destroyed the "ceasefire" in hours.

It is murdering Palestinians, and maintaining its illegal siege.

Not a ceasefire.
