The goal has always been to inspire more people to take direct action and do everything they can to stop the zionist colonial project. The Madleen and Handala and all those that came before have now inspired 44 new boats and 6.000 people to put their lives at risk to attempt to break the siege by water. Hopefully they reach Gaza. If not, I hope they will inspire many more.

So by their own admission they are sending weapons and sharing intelligence with an entity that is causing a famine on a population of 2 million people.

How do they keep inventing new levels of cruelty

We can and should criticise any leftist presenting candidate. That doesn’t mean that we want them to lose.

While it hurts my soul to see people who excused a genocide draw the line at forced starvation, I will not miss this opportunity for agitation against isntreal.

The pressure against isntreal at this point is purely symbolic and it is essential that you, me and all our comrades work hard now to make sure that it becomes economically impossible for isntreal to continue starving Palestinians.

Boycott israel

Make your friends and family boycott israel

Make your union boycott israel

Make your school/workplace boycott israel

Make your city boycott israel

Make your state boycott israel

Make your government boycott israel

And if they don’t listen, shut down your country. Protests are growing rapidly at this point, many people are feeling angry and powerless. Turn that anger into productivity by organising against isntreal.

He is such a great dude. Anyone who’s interested in union organising and union politics should look him up, his accomplishments with amazon labor union are so impressive. I hope he’s ok and that he returns home safely.

Purely symbolic but it does mean that the government feels the pressure from the people who are protesting almost daily.

In The Netherlands our education and healthcare systems are currently being dismantled as a direct result of military investments.

This stresses me out so much, knowing that we’re now tied to arms deals that will dismantle our whole healthcare system that I’m dependent on. Fuck.

I still can’t believe how quickly the EU just capitulated to that 5% and that there was almost no resistance from the ground up.

100 trucks are let in while 1000 are needed to adequately fulfil the needs of the people.

100 trucks was reported by Egypt but apparently it’s even less than that. It’s all purely symbolic.

Maybe twitter and other big companies are applying the rules for all eu?

5 countries are testing the laws before they apply to whole EU

The testing countries are France, Spain, Italy Denmark and Greece.

EU is working on a digital passport for age verification. Scary stuff and also very much underreported by the media.

I forgot about air quality but always having a window open has improved my sleep as well

My private life is not your business! But thanks for the food.

My nightmares have always coincided with anxiety or stress. Sometimes nightmares are a signal for me that I’m under great stress even though I don’t recognise it because I’m not always very in touch with my feelings. Ever since I overcame some of my mental health issues my nightmares have become significantly less frequent.

Here’s a weird observation I had though: for me if I sleep on my right side I usually don’t remember any dreams at all but when I sleep on my left side my dreams are extremely vivid. So you could try to experiment with different sleep positions.

If you’re desperate you could also try experimenting with active ingredients like CBD. It might lessen your quality of sleep in general, but if it also reduces your nightmares it could still be a net positive.

Me and an anonymous comrade downvoting zionist fish into oblivion

Yay another hexbear who won’t kill me. I’m proud of you.

It’s difficult to weigh in with just an assumption of such a diagnosis. I have a friend with health anxiety who talks about their health issues and the illnesses they think they might have. I’ve learned that it helps them to have someone to talk about their health journey and who doesn’t judge them for always assuming the worst and exaggerating their symptoms. I can’t ‘fix’ their anxiety, all I can do is be there and listen to them and acknowledge their fears and frustrations.

Munchausen can be a very serious disorder that involves lying to doctors and/or inflicting harm on oneself. In that case it might be necessary to have some kind of intervention, but I don’t have experience with such things.

Know that you are not responsible for your friend’s health. People who live in their own version of reality often do so out of necessity and self preservation, and it can cause them great distress if an outsider tries to force them to break from this. In mild cases it’s better to just let them vent and let them know that you will be there for them. If it becomes overbearing you can try to limit your attention towards a subject and/or take some distance from the person. You can always suggest someone to seek help for underlying problems like trauma, anxiety or emotional/mood issues.

JVP have the privilege of being able to organise against the genocide without being criminalised. This gives them a huge power advantage over Palestinian organisers and JVP seem to not adequately address this power dynamic. Addressing the power dynamic also includes being aware that they get more donations than Palestinian organisers for their privilege and thus have an obligation to give back to the Palestinian community.
