Seven unarmed Palestinian protesters were killed yesterday by Israeli snipers at the Great Return March. 506 were injured. But an iron-clad rule in media prevails not to report genocide against Palestinians but only present their freedom struggle as terrorism. It is from the attempts to defeat their intransigent struggle that the ideological framework of war mongering using Islamophobia has been developed in the so-called war on terrorism. It must be vigorously opposed & decisively defeated.
Naser Azmy Musabih, a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, is one of three children killed by Israeli snipers at the Great Return March on September 28, 2018. It cannot be said often enough that Palestinian children are the primary targets of the genocide in Gaza, not collateral damage–just as Kashmiri, Rohingya, Uyghur, & Black American youth are in their respective freedom struggles. To Israel, Palestinian youth represent a future of resistance to colonialism, occupation, apartheid, genocide.
May young Naser Rest In Peace. To honor his life, build the economic & cultural boycott of Israel.

What’s so compelling about this photo by Basit Zargar is not that it won the Best Photography Award 2018 from the Press Club Jammu but that it so powerfully captures the inexpressible suffering of children sustaining a brutal military occupation.
End the occupation. Self-determination for Kashmir.

“I have said it before & I reiterate it today that even if India macadamises the roads across Jammu-Kashmir with layers of pure gold & diamonds instead of coal tar, the people of Kashmir won’t give up their inalienable right to self-determination.”

On the Brett Kavanaugh senate hearings: I see dead people. Dr. Ford presents her case to an assembly of vampires.
Just so people know, I disabled my comment app on this blog because it was overwhelmed by Zionists threatening & haranguing me.
Since June, Facebook has suspended me four times for 30 days each for posts they claim violate their community standards. The third suspension on September 12th, which approached farce, was rescinded in just over a day. Facebook has no procedures for contesting suspension. I’m posting the suspension notices here to show that there isn’t one thing objectionable about them except their politics. It is part of the censorship onslaught against Palestinian, Kashmiri, & Rohingya activists on social media whose accounts are being shut down right & left. When I updated my blog, I drew from my Facebook wall which automatically posts to my Twitter wall & compared it with my Twitter posts. Facebook not only has suspended me but without my knowing had deleted several posts, most of them dealing with Syria & Kashmir.
These are the offending posts:
June 5th suspension notice: 
July 27 suspension notice: this post which was in poetic form was written by a Muslim as a sardonic protest against the lynching & murder of an Indian Muslim by cow vigilantes. It’s unlikely the Facebook censor had any idea what it was about.
September 12 suspension notice which was rescinded:
September 18 suspension notice which I am presently enduring:
