(copied from X account @abusulayman):

In light of the current events in Palestine, a large number of filmmakers have made their films about Palestine available online for free.

In this post, we share with you links to films you can view and share to get our message out to the world:
Modern democracies are trapped in short-termism, polarization, structural paralysis.

And maybe that’s not a bug, but a feature: systems designed to preserve existing power rarely allow meaningful evolution.

@JeremyRLent's article is a mandatory reading.

“Democracy” Was Never Designed to Work — But Something Better Is Emerging
The crisis of democratic legitimacy is a design problem—and better alternatives already exist

He went out with his parents and three younger brothers to buy new clothes and prepare for celebrations of the Eid al-Fitr. When coming home, in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers stopped the car and shot his parents and the two younger boys. Hope was replaced by lifelong suffering.

The hipocrisy of western leaders, who until today keep vouching for the right of Israel to defend itself unconditionally after Oct7, and today ask and expect Iran to restraint itself from reacting to these terrorist attacks, should actually be enough to demand immediate change.

How do you reconcile defending women’s rights in Iran with not immediately and unconditionally condemning the bombing of a girls’ school that has so far killed 40 of them?
What happened earlier today is a horrendous terrorist attack carried out by Western-backed countries.

It is now clear that Israel did not fuel the first two world wars, simply because it did not exist at that time. However, it will fuel all future ones as long as it continues to exist.

João Oliveira (PCP) foi o único deputado 🇵🇹 democrático que hoje disse NÃO ao governo manchado de sangue de @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu.
Obrigado, Sr. Deputado!
Sinto-me representado.
Quanto aos que faltaram à votação pelo incómodo que a mesma lhes pudesse causar: não foi para isso q fostes eleitos!

Who votes NO on the Motion of No Confidence legitimizes Gaza!

I come to the sad conclusion that the world is suffering from chronic progressismus. The paradox of loving the idea of evolution without the will or readiness to fight for it. Systemic capitalism and individualism were the trigger factors. Pragmatism is the smashing weight.

Criar um canal plural, independente e de índole socialista que informe, forme e mobilize a população em torno de valores como justiça social, democracia participativa, sustentabilidade e direitos humanos. Financiamento através de um modelo de Cooperativa de ComunicSocial.
É urgente criar um canal televisivo de sinal aberto que seja altifalante de notícias, narrativas e políticas como vistas e defendidas pela Esquerda. O nosso tabu em marcarmos posição num palco que a Direita monopoliza sem contraditório é a maior causa do nosso enfraquecimento.

O medíocre PM português acha-se no direito de exigir qual o regime que quer no poder para efectivar uma solução já aprovada em parlamento e com impacto na eventual cessação do genocídio em curso.

Parabéns, Portugal!
Em nome "da falta de líderes", elegemos uma poia para nos governar.

Kids being shot with precision in their heads and hearts are not collateral damage! They are the target! The future is the target!
There is no one else to blame but the one who pulled the trigger and the ones who shouted the order.

Right now is not the time to denounce the hypocrisy of this late awakening from West Leaders to the Palestinian Genocide in Gaza and the West Bank.

We should work together as fast as possible to stop the carnage and suffering.

But that time will come and justice must be sought.

Quando vai ser o suficiente para fazeres algo? Para mostrares empatia? Achas que a cassete ainda justifica uma notícia destas? Achas que é importante, neste momento, definir quem começou? Achas que ainda não é genocídio?

The famous European Values?

Ignoring the massacre of +20.000 children, suddenly awakening for the possibility of mischievous behavior when the #EurovisionSongContest shows signs of being rigged.

Also, 20 years from now, the winning song will condemn said massacre and redemption will be achieved.

O voto não é apenas um direito. É uma responsabilidade.
Conhece bem aqueles em que votas, pois terás directa responsabilidade sobre a sua acção.
Também, a abstenção não te isenta de responsabilidade. Responsabiliza-te antes por toda e qualquer acção tomada.

When one person raises their voice against the tide, they are no longer alone - they have become a beacon.

Thank you to all the beacons across this dark and turbulent sea. One day there will be so many, that light will prevail again.

The situation in Sudan has been unsustainable for the last decade, but the last two years have been especially devastating for its population. The people of Sudan deserve lasting peace and their lives back.
