LARGE PRO-PALESTINE PROTEST IN TOKYO CALLS FOR THE LIBERATION OF PALESTINE
📹 Scenes from large-scale Pro-Palestine demonstrations in Tokyo, Japan, calling for the Liberation of Palestine and rejecting the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip.
Okay, with the blackout happening tomorrow, I'm going to be harsh. Mutuals, if I see any of you post anything other than Palestine tomorrow, it's gonna be a block.
One day. Don't post/reblog anything unrelated for ONE DAY. Can you do that?
If not, then you don't care about Palestine. This blackout is for them, and it only works if a lot of people join. It'd REALLY work if everyone did.
Don't think that you won't make a difference. You will. But only if you participate.
March 2nd. Full blackout. Only post/reblog stuff about Palestine, or don't post at all.
We are so close to a ceasefire. Hopefully this will put it over the edge. If not, it will still get us closer and closer.
If some world-shattering news happens tomorrow during the blackout, SAVE AS A DRAFT. Reblog it the day after. I'm being so serious right now, breaking this will defeat the entire point.
Free Gaza, stand with Palestine.
March 2nd.
Feel free to reblog this if you plan on participating in the blackout, too. Reblogs are on.
EDIT: I'm realizing how many people do not know about this, so I'm gonna judge the block thing case by case. But yeah. Stand with Palestine.

Saturday, 18th May — Nakba 76: National Demonstration for Palestine in London
Vice-chancellors have rejected calls to shut down the pro-Palestine encampments at Australian universities, saying campuses don’t want to see an “escalation” of the kind that is happening in the US.
A snap meeting was held on Thursday between the Group of Eight (Go8) vice-chancellors, the Australasian Union of Jewish Students, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ) and the secretary of the education department to discuss the safety of students and staff amid the protests.
Vicki Thomson, the Go8 chief executive, said it was a “very constructive” meeting that allowed universities to hear the concerns of representative bodies.
Mark Scott, the vice-chancellor of the University of Sydney, attended Thursday’s meeting. A protest on the lawns of his university is now into its 11th day, the longest of any Australian camps.
Scott took to LinkedIn on Thursday to reject calls from shadow education minister Sarah Henderson for police intervention, maintaining the exercise of free speech could be “challenging and confronting”.
“I am not convinced what is happening on US campuses demonstrates a pathway to greater safety and security for any students or staff, nor helps to build a community committed to free speech and thoughtful exchanges of divergent views,” Scott wrote.
“Protests and vigorous debates have always been part of our culture of academic freedom … even when, as individuals, we may strongly disagree with things we hear said.”
On Friday, the University of Sydney camp was met with a counter-protest by the group Together with Israel, but the situation remained relatively peaceful. There was no apparent police presence.
Monash University’s vice-chancellor, Prof Sharon Pickering, was also in attendance at Thursday’s meeting, as was the University of Adelaide’s provost, Prof John Williams. Both universities have backed the lawful expression of peaceful protest on their campuses.
The University of Melbourne’s vice-chancellor, Duncan Maskell, wrote to his university’s community last week reiterating respect for peaceful protest was “core” to the university’s values.
The Jewish Council of Australia has condemned the wave of counter-protests, labelling one at the University of Melbourne on Thursday a “motley group of rightwing zionists”.
Its executive officer, Dr Max Kaiser, said students in the Gaza solidarity camps were taking a “brave and peaceful stand against genocide and should be heard”.
Just yesterday, an active duty Airforce member used self immolation to protest the genocide in Gaza in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington D.C. He yelled "I will no longer be complicit in th genocide." His last words were "Free Palestine", which he repeated until he could no longer speak.
Innocent men, women and children have died at the hands of a cruel, genocidal and ethnocentric regime. Americans have spoken. Our troops have spoken. We do not and cannot be complicit and silent in the events in the Middle East.
UCLA CAMPUS BECOMES A WAR ZONE FOLLOWING ASSAULT BY POLICE AND ZIONIST COUNTER-PROTESTERS
📹 Scenes from the aftermath on UCLA college campus after peaceful protests were raided following the arrival of pro-Zionist counter-protesters with the backing of the militarized and highly aggressive LAPD, who stormed the encampment, conducting mass arrests while violently assaulting students on Wednesday night.
At least 132 students were arrested, while many more were violently assaulted with projectiles, fireworks and chemical weapons including tear-gas bombs, wounding more than 15 student protesters.
