Children remain one of the primary targets, not accidental bystanders, in the murderous colonial occupation of Kashmir. Just as in Palestine.
The censorship & suspension of countless individual Kashmiri social media accounts is an old story. They’re among the most censored members on both FB & Twitter. But now it appears to some admins that they are also monitoring & restricting Kashmiri news walls.
As part of the campaign to post at least one piece per day about the Kashmiri struggle, you could go to some of those many pages to like & share some of their posts. If you need help finding them, let me know.
India didn’t occupy Kashmir with nearly a million troops to force their acceptance of colonialism nor certainly to ‘win their hearts & minds’. It did so because it knew it long-ago lost that battle so it proceeded directly to genocide & ethnic cleansing.

A disturbing video on the impact the Indian occupation has on wildlife in Kashmir. The barrier wall on the US southern border, the Israeli apartheid wall, & nearly 200 barrier walls on the planet to prevent immigration all have the same destructive impact on wildlife.
Kashmir is running out of medicines, including life-saving drugs, with no end of the occupation in sight. Some think genocide is an overstatement but what else can one call this?
Zionists, Hindutva nationalists, Islamophobes, anti-Semites, Assadists, Stalinists, white supremacists all draw from the same cesspool for their repertoire of political arguments: The eff-word is prominent; lots of epithets, especially whore & the c-word; lots of hating going on. But I’ve yet to see anything even approximating a cogent political defense for their hatred of the oppressed.
Join the campaign, starting today for ten days, to share a post every day about the Kashmiri struggle. It’s a simple act of solidarity but you never know who you might reach who someday will also play a role in building a massive, public, consistent, uncompromising movement to reinforce Kashmiri political power against Indian colonialism & occupation.
Take the pledge at this site to #StandWithKashmir by at least one post every day.
There are hundreds of devastating photos from the Rohingya flight from genocide in 2017. It’s a nightmare just to revisit those images. But some of the most wrenching are of unaccompanied children running for asylum carrying a baby sister or brother probably after losing their parents to the Burmese Army hunting them down. Consider their terror & misery. But mostly stand in awe of their humanity.
Stand with the Rohingya in their struggle for full human, democratic, & civil rights in Burma.
