Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
The US secretary of state and a Bilderberg surveillance tech oligarch have both made some very interesting admissions about the burgeoning protest movement against the US-backed slaughter in Gaza and the problems it poses for the empire they help run.
Israel’s Brutality Draws on British Rule
Wednesday, 8 May 2024 — Consortium News
Britain’s “mandate” over Palestine from 1920-48 left an apparatus of repression which Israel inherited and still uses today in its ferocious war on Palestinians, writes A. Bustos.

Israel’s present use of collective punishment against Palestinians owes much of its origins to British rule in Palestine.
So too do the aerial bombardments, military raids, use of Palestinian civilians as human shields and the infrastructure of military law deployed against an occupied, overwhelmingly civilian population.
Boycott called off as Arnolfini apologises for anti-Palestinian censorship
Wednesday, 8 May 2024– Artists for Palestine
Brilliant news!
Thanks to your commitment and thanks to the tenacity and care of a group of artists in Bristol, Arnolfini gallery have published a detailed apology for cancelling events curated by Bristol Palestine Film Festival back in November, and have committed to reparative work.
You can read our report on what happened here – including statements by Bristol Artists for Palestine, The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), and of course Arnolfini’s statement.
The story has been reported in Arts News, Arts Professional and Bristol Cable, and we believe the repercussions will be felt far and wide. Bristol Palestine Film Festival’s statement can be found here.
Our official statement:
‘We welcome Arnolfini’s statement and applaud the hard work of those involved in the mediation process.
We hope this sends a clear message to other cultural institutions. Amid a repressive political and media climate, cultural institutions are too often failing in their duty to uphold freedom of expression and to protect against discrimination.
At a time of unprecedented dehumanisation of Palestinian people, artists and audiences expect cultural spaces to amplify voices that articulate the realities of Palestinian experiences and aspirations, as vital contributions to cultural understanding and to our shared humanity’.
With love and solidarity.

The beast of ideology lifts the lid on transformation

The police repression of student protests exposes sheer intolerance towards those voicing condemnation against the violence in Gaza.
The Transformation is accelerating. The harsh, often violent, police repression of student protests across the U.S. and Europe, in wake of the continuing Palestinian massacres, exposes sheer intolerance towards those voicing condemnation against the violence in Gaza.

Gaza resistance sparks youth revolt in the belly of imperialism
Monday, 6 May 2024 — The Communists
Scenes reminiscent of the anti-Vietnam war movement are playing out as US students refuse to stay silent in the face of academia’s complicity.
Proletarian writers
Students in the USA are risking both present academic and future career prospects to oppose US academia’s widespread collaboration with and investment in zionist Israel, its institutions and especially its arms industry. Their example is one that should be followed by workers and students everywhere. We need to build the British wing of an international ‘Hands off Palestine’ campaign that will stop the genocidal regime in its tracks by starving it of every aspect of the outside assistance it relies on to carry out its crimes.

Humboldt and Gaza: Berlin Bulletin No. 222, May 4, 2024
Sunday, 5 May 2024 — MR Online
No books were burned this time in early May. But there were ironic parallels, some all too alarming!
It was May 10th in Germany’s terrible year 1933, Hitler had been in power for hardly three months, when students and staff emptied the university libraries of forbidden books and threw them, an estimated 20,000 books by over a hundred authors, into the flames of a giant bonfire. Most authors were German—Jewish, atheist, liberal, leftist, Bertolt Brecht, Anna Seghers, Sigmund Freud and Magnus Hirschfeld, but also some foreign works were thrown into the flames—Maxim Gorki, Hemingway, Jack London, Dos Passos.
Debunking “Screams Before Silence,” Sheryl Sandberg’s 7 Oct. “mass rape” film
Saturday, 4 May 2024 — The Electronic Intifada
Last week, billionaire former Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg released Screams Before Silence, which is being promoted as “a documentary film on the sexual violence committed by Hamas” on 7 October 2023.
But it is a total fraud. Seven months after that day, Israel has still not identified a single survivor of the alleged mass rapes on 7 October, nor a single credible eyewitness.

Staying Power – by Mr. Fish
In the conflicts I covered as a reporter in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and the Balkans, I encountered singular individuals of varying creeds, religions, races and nationalities who majestically rose up to defy the oppressor on behalf of the oppressed. Some of them are dead. Some of them are forgotten. Most of them are unknown.

Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
❖
Kids are taking over university campuses around the world for the noblest possible reason anyone could do such a thing in 2024. There are so many reasons to feel pessimistic, but Gen Z’s fierce opposition to the Gaza genocide is a massive reason to have hope for the future.

There’s a common joke in Gaza these days. It suggests that the most humane Israeli is the minister who effectively called for a nuclear bomb to be dropped on us during the early stages of the current war.
