The horror and heartbreak in Gaza is reaching new proportions each minute, as Israel continues its brutal genocide. The death toll in Gaza is shooting upward daily, and Israel’s violence is also mounting in the West Bank, even as Palestinians and those in solidarity with them — including powerful mobilizations of Jewish protesters saying “not in our name” — are marching and rallying worldwide in urgent protests.
Truthout started this series on “Struggle and Solidarity” years ago to cover the struggle for Palestinian liberation in all its forms, from protests within Palestine to international solidarity efforts and intersections with other movements. Over the years we’ve delved into the context and history of Israel’s settler-colonial violence, and possibilities for a liberated future built on foundations of equity and justice. Through news articles, analyses and firsthand accounts, we are committed to reporting on the ongoing violence of Israeli colonization, occupation and apartheid — and the U.S.’s complicity in the genocide that is now unfolding against Palestinians.

Bluesky Quakers
Bluesky Quakers is the title of an email I just received from Martin Kelley, senior editor of the Friends Journal. He writes a newsletter named Quaker Ranter.
The title caught me attention because I setup my account on Bluesky a few days ago. https://bsky.app/profile/jakislin.bsky.social

This week Isaac (aka catshashimi) has put together a Quaker Starter Pack. These are meant to be curated list of people who newcomers might want to follow. And I’ve started a Quakers list, which is more of a firehose of everyone I know with Quaker connections.
