Yes Captain Eissa. Falastin is changing this whole wide world in front of our eyes. And history and the present will recall where, when and what, every single soul did, during those 346 days of human slaughter (and counting)

The western world is so far away from anything resembling democracy these days. When it's legal for AIPAC, the fossil fuel industry and who knows else to bribe politicians, policies don't reflect the will of the people.

When the genocide continues despite the protests, the protesters silenced, this is not democracy.

So sad about the elderly in Palestine.

Thanks for posting, Najwan.

I feel angry over war criminals hunting and hurting our most vulnerable in the ways they have. I cannot stand that level of cowardice and injustice Diana. I just want us to mean what we say, to do the right thing, the courageous thing, the moral thing. Every time.

🇵🇸♥️🙏

You think that the wealthy people will let the crowd to select their leaders??????, think about it, a wealthy powerful person, you will let a common Joe have the same voice like him?

A democracy as we understood it never existed.

No I think they will allow us peasants to die on an imploding planet, while they remain safe (and tucked away) somewhere deep underground, or up in high orbit. I do not falsify or fantasize the greedy powerful agenda... We’re in the midst of an almost one-year televised genocide. Reality has been set.

Regardless, #PalestineWillBeFree

Pardon me, I just got through PUKING after reading the U.S. State Department's official press release commemorating International Day of Democracy 2024: "The United States will continue to support free and fair elections, to fight corruption, to protect human rights, and to promote inclusive governance. We call on all governments to join us in these efforts and commend the reformers working tirelessly around the globe to advance democratic progress." Wait, I think I have to throw up again! Such lying, such hypocrisy, has become the norm, unfortunately. The videos were informative but infuriating as usual, Najwan, but John Oliver's show on AI was enlightening and fascinating. And your poetry, as always, was excellent.

Haha shukran Leon. ‘Merica working tirelessly to advance democracy is a somber thought really.. I fear we understand what that truly means.

The public flimsy veneer does little to mute hypocritical, sadistic, bullshit narratives. It’s about time they lessened both insult and injury.

Viva la 🇵🇸
