Just a reminder that in Mexico's UNAM, Latin America's largest university, there's been a building occupied by students for 24 years. The students are not even students anymore.

The "ceasefire" proposed by the US condemned Hamas but not Israel, didn't even say Israel's name until the last paragraph, and left legal room for Israel to "continue operations" as long as all the hostages weren't released. It was domestic political theater for Biden and a vicious provocation

No, el genocidio ocurriendo en Palestina no es un genocidio cometido por "los judíos". Hay múltiples individuos y comunidades judías alrededor del mundo que son críticas del Estado de Israel y que están arriesgando su integridad física, sus trabajos, su nombre, por manifestarse contra el genocidio.

Back in 2018, MAGA street fighters in Portland started showing up at events wearing “Pinochet did nothing wrong” t-shirts with positive references to helicopter rides and I thought “wow, they’re really out there.” Now sitting members of Congress are going there.
