I’ve noticed more stories on Dubai during the last week than the Arab capitals combined.
Three days ago, Israel ordered the south evacuated. Two days ago, they did the same to the southern suburbs. That’s more than one million people. Some, the most vulnerable, are sleeping rough by the sea or on sidewalks. Today, it is raining. War harms the poor the most.

🧵1/ Finland plans to lift its long-standing ban on having nuclear weapons on its territory. But as ICAN Finland puts it, there is no such thing as responsible use of nuclear weapons. The ban on nuclear weapons should continue to be in force. Read more: icanfinland.fi/ajankohtaist...

This is really good, please read it
The people outside of a country that they left for whatever reasons should not be listened to over the people who still live in said country. *Exile* politics is always fraught. Exiles have self-interests like everyone else.
no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit
The morality of war is now too often framed as the legality of war. A transition from some of the political history of the anti-war movement and how it intersected with racial justice, and a sign that we have politically lost the plot.

Palestinian analyst Muhammad Shehada reflects on Israel’s plan, announced yesterday at the Board of Peace, to turn Gaza into an IDF-controlled “cashless society,” where digital wallets could be suspended at will, cutting off access to food and goods. He warns it would enable blackmail and collective punishment, with no legal recourse under military rule. The Israeli operative spearheading the operation describes it as a “digital upgrade” for Gaza.
See new posts Conversation Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2 This is extremely sinister! Israel plans to turn Gaza into a "cashless society" where the IDF fully controls who has access to e-money, who one can transact with, how much, & who starves to death This would be the ultimate tool of blackmail & pacification against journalists, critics, activists...etc. Any Palestinian would always be one click away from losing access to their Israel-controlled e-wallets. Israel can simply call anyone they don't like "khamas" & suspend their digital wallets, who's going to double check? Palestinians under Israel's military rule are not citizens, are ruled by "army regulations" not law, & have no course to appeal Israeli decisions. E.g. Israel bans people from leaving Gaza arbitrarily under unexplained unappealable "security pretexts". One of the reforms the US has been demanding of the PA is to transform the Palestinian economy into an Israel-controlled "cashless society". Israel has been refusing European demands to rebuild the existing banking sector in Gaza & instead Israel kept pitching this "digital wallet" system.
The upgraded internet access will only be established in the "new Rafah" concentration camp as a way of luring people to move in there (remember, yesterday, Kushner & his video only mentioned reconstruction of "new Rafah", not all of Gaza). The "amazon style logistics" will also be an Israeli controlled platform; meaning more blackmail & arbitrary restrictions. Liran Tancman, the speaker here, is an architect of Israel's murderous GHF & the "gated communities" plan (concentration camps).

Clara Mattei explaining that the system is working exactly as intended and cannot be fixed. Thought this was good. Ofc it's more for a normie audience. Esp liked that she mentioned how Europe & the US have underdeveloped Africa, and did not deny being a revolutionary

Conservation or corporation? WWF logo, with Coca Cola logo, Deutsche Bank logo and Shell logo, surrounded by old white men.
What they don’t tell you about WWF former presidents. Swipe right to find out more...
Former WWF presidents: - Founder of Shell, John H Loudon (with a portrait picture of him). - First president of WWF, Member of Nazi Party and SS, Enthusiastic big game hunter, H. R. H. Prince Bernhard. (with a portrait photograph of him)
- Prince Philip: Royal/colonial legacy, Openly racist. - Pavan Sukhdev: Ex-Banker at Deutsche Bank. - Neville Isdell: Ex-CEO of CocaCola.
The people who shaped WWF might surprise you…
From its earliest days, the conservation org was led by figures tied to:
❌ colonial elites
❌ big-game hunting
❌ oil corporations
❌ finance
This wasn’t accidental. Modern conservation didn’t break from colonial & corporate power. It was built on it.
