December 7, 2023 - Hundreds of UK union workers blockaded companies who sell weapons or parts for fighter jets that Israel uses for its genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people. Four factories were blockaded in Bournemouth, Lancashire, Brighton and Glasgow. Palestinian unions have asked for union workers across the world to use their power to show solidarity with the Palestinian people. Dock workers have recenty heeded this call for solidarity by blocking Israeli weapons shipments in several countries, inculding South Africa, Greece, Turkey, Belgium, and Italy. [video]

Hi tumblr.. Please pay some attention to the incident happened in my country China, city Urumqi, Xinjiang. The city was blocked for more than 100 days due to the epidemic, which seriously affected people's life. On November 24, a fire broke out in a community in Urumqi, but the firefighters were unable to put out the fire in time because of the blockade. In the end ten People died, including a 3-year-old child. Last night (11.25) the people of Urumqi finally took to the streets out of despair and anger. They went to the city hall to march and protest, and confronted the police. This was extremely brave but also very dangerous.

Chinese Internet is extremely closed, and all content posted online is subject to examination and control. We are trying our best to convey this message to more people.

I'm very sorry if I disturbed you all, but if possible, please give the people of my country a little international attention and support, thank you😢If you need more content please check this twitter account:

I am really desperate and terribly worried for people of Urumqi right now and I hope this incident could reach to more people around the world. Thank you.

By Stephen Millies

The New York City Council unanimously approved a resolution on June 22 calling for an end to the cruel U.S. economic blockade of Cuba. The next day a news conference was held in front of City Hall to celebrate this victory. “This blockade must stop,” declared Council member Charles Barron, who was the resolution’s prime sponsor.

🇮🇱⚔️🇺🇳🇵🇸 🚨

ISRAELI OCCUPATION AUTHORITIES DEMAND THE DISMANTLING OF UNRWA BEFORE ALLOWING AID INTO THE GAZA STRIP

The Israeli occupation authorities have submitted a proposal to the United Nations demanding the dismantlement of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine, also known as UNRWA.

In an article published in the British liberal news website The Guardian, a source within the United Nations (UN) describes a proposal submitted by the Israeli occupation authorities to the UN for the dismantlement of UNRWA in return for the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) allowing humanitarian aid to flow into the besieged Gaza Strip.

According to The Guardian, the proposal was submitted last week by the Israeli Chief to the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi to UN Officials stationed in occupied Palestine who forwarded the proposal to the United Nation's Secretary General, António Gutierrez on Saturday.

The agency itself had no part in the discussions as the IOF refuses to deal with the humanitarian organization beginning last Monday with accusations occupation authorities made against the organization which remain unproven, even according to The Guardian.

Still, "Israel's" allies acted quickly to back their claims, with 16 major donors immediately withdrawing funding from the organization, cutting off the aid agency from more than $450m in funding, at a time when nearly the entire population of Gaza, around 2.3 million Palestinians, are dependant on UNRWA for food.

The United States Congress went so far as to ban funding for UNRWA in a recently passed budget bill, however some countries have restored funding to the aid agency, citing a lack of evidence provided by Israeli authorities.

Under the terms of the potential agreement, Zionist authorities are prepared to allow large amounts of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, with the only limiting factor being the capabilities of the United Nations and the newly formed aid agency, however the agreement would gut the humanitarian infrastructure already existing, and hollow out the agency by transferring 300-400 UNRWA staff to other UN agencies such as the World Food Programme (WFP).

According to The Guardian, more UNRWA staff could be transferred at a later date, however details are few and far between for how another humanitarian organization could be created on a scale necessary to provide for the humanitarian needs of the civilian population of Gaza, nor where the staff for such an organization would come from. Also absent were any security guarantees for humanitarian staff, nor who would provide such security guarantees.

Such an arrangement will likely sound attractive for those wishing to see an end to "Israel's" starvation campaign in Gaza, however, unlike whatever organization could be created on such short notice, UNRWA has been established in the Gaza Strip, and in the occupied Palestinian territories, going back to 1950, and over generations has earned the trust of the Palestinian population there, providing countless jobs for a Gazan population under blockade by "Israel" for the last decade and a half.

The Guardian quotes UNRWA's Director of External Relations, Tamara Alrifai, as saying, “Unrwa has not been systematically privy to conversations related to coordinating humanitarian aid in Gaza."

Alrifai also said the size proposed by the Israelis for the new humanitarian organization would "hobble its ability to effectively deliver aid in Gaza" at a time when it is so desperately needed by the civilian population in the Palestinian enclave.

“This is no criticism of WFP, but logically if they were to start food distribution in Gaza tomorrow, they’re going to use UNRWA trucks and bring food into UNRWA warehouses, and then distribute food in or around UNRWA shelters,” Alrifai told The Guardian, “So they’re going to need at a minimum the same infrastructure that we have, including the human resources.”

The Guardian article also mentions that some UN officials told their reporters that they see the proposal by the Israelis as a way to portray the United Nations as unwilling to work with the Zionist entity to get aid into Gaza in time to prevent a famine.

On Thursday, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague, in the Netherlands, implemented additional provisional measures in South Africa's case investigating "Israel" for the crime of genocide, ordering the Zionist entity to take "all necessary and effective measures" to ensure the large-scale delivery of humanitarian aid be provided to Gaza.

The Guardian also mentions that some inside the UN see this as the "culmination of a long Israeli campaign to destroy UNRWA."

UNRWA has long been a target of the Israelis. As the UN agency in charge of maintaining the records of Palestinian families who were displaced from their homes during the Nakba, and where those family's homes were located, the organization essentially guarantees their Right to Return under International Law.

Israeli authorities see this record keeping as a threat to their expansionist aspirations, and hopes that by dismantling the agency, they will help eliminate the threat those records pose to their settler colonial agenda.

“If we allow this, it is the slippery slope to us being completely managed directly by the Israelis, and the UN directly being complicit in undermining UNRWA, which is not only the biggest aid provider but also the biggest bastion of anti-extremism in Gaza,” one UN official is quoted as saying.

"We would be playing into so many political agendas if we allowed this to happen.”

UNRWA derived its mandate from an act passed by the United Nations General Assembly, which The Guardian says, "in theory" remains the only organization with the authority to end that mandate.

The United Nations Secretary General's office did not respond to The Guardian's inquiries into the proposal, nor did the Israeli occupation army before the time of publishing.

December 13, 2023 - A major highway in Los Angeles, USA, was blocked for 2.5 hours during rush hour by Jewish activists and allies with the organisation If Not Now.

The protesters were demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and an end to US funding for Israel's war crimes against the Palestinian people. The protesters, wearing T-shirts saying "Not in our name", formed a human chain across the highway and erected a 7-foot tall menorah in the road. According to police 75 activists were arrested.

(6/25/23) Chris Smalls speaking in DC at the rally to take Cuba off the so called State Sponsors of Terror List. “Joe Biden keeps asking me to come to the White House, most recently I had an invitation for Juneteenth. I declined. They better hear this now, don’t invite me to the White House until Cuba is off the list!”

Some report about the recent events happening in China from English news media.

The New York Times: Protests Erupt in Shanghai and Other Chinese Cities Over Covid Controls

BBC: Covid protests widen in China after Urumqi fire

CNN: Protests erupt across China in unprecedented challenge to Xi Jinping’s zero-Covid policy

Reuters: Protests in Shanghai and Beijing as anger over China's COVID curbs mounts

The Guardian: Anti-lockdown protests spread across China amid growing anger at zero-Covid strategy

AP News: More anti-COVID protests in China triggered by deadly fire

The Wall Street Journal: Chinese Protests Spread Over Government’s Covid Restrictions

if you need more context, please view my early post:

or this tweet: (there is a complete timeline)

Also I'd like to explain something mistaken by the English media that holding blank white paper while protesting was not mean for mourning or for funerals, but for pointing out that we were not allowed to speak the truth or express our opinion under such a authoritarian government. Everything posted online would be immediately censored and deleted and people would get punished.

Reblogging is very much appreciated. Thank you all so much.

祝大家自由，勇敢，平安。

On April 15th, people from over 30 cities around the world will launch a global economic blockade answering the call from Gaza to fight for a liberated Palestine.

75 years and 182 days into this US backed genocide we must take collective risk beyond symbolic acts of solidarity.

On April 15th, we will block logistical hubs to stop the flow of capital worldwide.

This is just the beginning.

We will not cooperate with the police.

If a blockade in one city faces repression, we will respond in solidarity in other cities.

Join us in organizing towards our collective liberation http://a15action.com
