Israel is apparently demanding that if it’s gymnasts are not allowed into Indonesia for the world championships, the event should be “cancelled altogether, or transferred to an alternative host country.”

The event begins in nine days.

No thanks!

Israeli Gymnastics Federation has demanded that, if the decision to revoke the athletes' visas is not rescinded, Worlds will be "cancelled altogether, or transferred to an alternative host country that will allow all members of the World Federation to participate."

not just "a ceasefire deal", but basically the same deal that exists now. that deal offer existed btw since october 9th or 10th 2023.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 1d

I will never get over this.

It is MINDBLOWING that Biden/Kamala could have had a ceasefire deal in Sept 2024. Would have won them the election without a doubt. And yet could not do it because Israel’s right to exterminate millions of people could not be violated. This is where racism will lead you folks

"I have been appalled, but also intrigued, by the extraordinary ability of so many Israelis to simultaneously justify, deny, ignore or deliberately avoid speaking & thinking about the ongoing systematic obliteration of the Gaza Strip and the Palestinians"
www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/israel...

A state of denial

Netanyahu’s onslaught against Gaza has been genocidal, but Israelis refuse to see it. This has historical parallels—and roots in Israel’s foundation

Crucially, @mark-bray.bsky.social is a historian. This is why fascists hate, defund & try to discredit the Humanities. We know how power operates, how lies are constructed, & we are experts at deciphering archives and keeping the stories they contain - including those the powerful want dead - alive.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 3d

What the actual fuck??? This is a really scary situation. This family is already facing death threats which is why they are leaving.

Because Dr. Bray is a scholar of anti-fascism.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

More context for this, since I realized people might not recognize his name. This is this professor. I'm seriously crossing my fingers that it's just some internet assholes social engineering a fraud alert on his tickets and not something much more serious given that "roundtable" that happened today

The boat is full of medical staff and journalists trying to bring aid into Gaza.

Italian journalist abducted from the flotilla describes how Israeli prison guards unleashed dogs into cells, poured bleach on mattresses, and overcrowded cells
such that it was impossible to lie down.

x.com/paolomossett...

That night the guards were even more violent. The consul had just left, having gathered more deportation signatures, when special forces burst in. They stormed the cells, pointed rifles at us with laser sights, and called roll. In some cells, they unleashed dogs. In one, they found the word “Palestine” spelled out using scraps of pepper and water. To erase it, they poured bleach on the floor — prisoners slept on mattresses soaked with it.

That night, as punishment, they overcrowded the cells: from ten people to fifteen, leaving no space to lie down. We turned the mattresses sideways so we could all rest our heads. In my cell were Maso Notarianni and a Lombardy Democratic Party councilor, Paolo Romano.

I had the feeling I was in a truly barbaric place, and hoped this barbarity would soon end.

I just want you to imagine how they treat palestinians if that’s how they treat people they know will be able to talk to western news about it later.

An Israeli prison guard deliberately slammed a metal door on the already broken leg of a 70-year-old Scottish woman who was abducted from the flotilla.

Torture.

THIS IS SAD ❗❗

"That prison was awful. No food, no water. My broken leg, the girl said to me, "Ah, what happened to your leg?" I said, "it's broke." She slammed the metal door on it and went, "Oh, sorry"

Margaret Pacetta, 70, from Glasgow, Scotland, is one of four Scots who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla. Pacetta arrived in Istanbul Airport on Saturday afternoon along with 136 other activists.

This is so fucking sadistic. I’d like to hear the hasbara merchants try to defend this most recent depravity.

According to Turkish activist and Global Sumud Flotilla participant Ersin Celik, who was recently released :

“They dragged little Greta Thunberg by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others.”
