I would like to LIKE this article 9,000 times. This was written so well, I could picture everything so well in my mind, I felt like I had just seen video footage of Khalil during his day. Khalil is laying down the template for how to rise above and keep demanding a just and peaceful world in the middle of extraordinary cruelty and chaos.
It’s been a day of shedding tears for me. After the tenth picture of a bloodied, dazed and starving baby, the cruel work of Israel and the US, I had resorted to tears and despair. Mahmoud Khalil walking the halls of congress gives me hope. May the forced starvation of Palestinians end soon, may there be a permanent ceasefire soon, may Palestine be free soon. No one is free until Palestine is free.
This made me feel better, and I hope it’s true — that the “climate” around the issue is shifting and that unconditional support for Israel may become a liability. About time! For example, voters should cease any support for Democratic Senators, Booker, Klobucher, Schumer and Schiff, who have consistently supported the genocide, take money from AIPAC and smilingly posed with Netanyahu during his recent visit to Washington, at the height of the genocide.
Two Israeli soldiers have been arrested at a music festival in Belgium over war crimes allegations, a campaign group has said.
The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) said in a statement that the two soldiers were attending the Tomorrowland festival in Boom, near Antwerp when they were arrested "with a clear show of force" by Belgian federal police.
After the soldiers were taken into custody, they were formally interrogated and released.
HRF said the Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office has confirmed that a criminal investigation is now underway.
The complaint was filed last week by HRF and the Global Legal Action Network (GLan).
And there’s more: Dock workers at the Port of Piraeus have refused to unload a ship with military cargo destined to be transferred to a ship bound for Israel.
“We will not unload a single centimetre of this murderous cargo. The dockworkers of Piraeus will not be complicit”.
We refuse to be tools of the US, Nato, the EU, Israel, or China, who use our country’s infrastructure to reshape the world redrawing borders with the blood of nations of the Palestinian people,”
The tide is turning for sure but I think it will be too late for the people of Gaza. By the time enough public opinion is gathered and changes in policy made across the western world, the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank will be no more. Israel knows that opinions are changing and are hastening the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians anywhere near the borders of Israel. Once they have accomplished their goal of eliminating the Palestinians, they will weather the backlash afterwards. They still believe the Americans and the western Europeans will support them no matter what they do.
The first cracks in that are showing in Britain. If the British parliament pushes Starmer into acknowledging a Palestinian state, other western Europeans will follow. Once the overturn of the MAGA party in the U.S. is accomplished, public opinion will become new policy. But despite all of that, the people in Gaza don't have that much time and Israel is counting on that.
Call on Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. He can go to Gaza right now, and insist aid be allowed in.
Is there anything more important in today's world than this?
Khalil is an inspiration. His resistance and courage in the face of a government that would deny him his dignity and human rights shows us a way forward. Thank you, Prem, for giving us some insight into who Khalil really is: he is a true leader.
Thank you Prem!!! We need to hear about these victories of the spirit over the depravities of this system! People like Mahmoud Kahlil will be the heroes of the story!

One of the investment firms profiting off the Gaza “Humanitarian” Foundation’s (GHF) barbaric starvation campaign to kill Palestinians is McNally Capital, headquartered in Chicago.

Khalil has more integrity and bravery in his little finger than all the Knee walking GOP.

That's what a hero looks like 🥰🥰🥰
Go Khalil, Go!
