Ceasefire? What Ceasefire?

I don’t know what else to do by now but to encourage people to KEEP TALKING ABOUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT. Free Palestine. Free Lebanon. Free Congo, Sudan, Syria, Iran, Haiti, I mean where does the list end… my heart goes out to my friends and family in Gaza today. The footage I’m seeing is horrific. KEEP TALKING!!!! 🙏

Israel is planning, in coordination with the United States, to expand its occupation of the Gaza Strip.

According to Israel’s Channel 14, the plan includes a major expansion of the so-called Yellow Line in Gaza, alongside continued bombardment and targeted killings outside the area controlled by the Israeli army, which currently occupies more than 60 per cent of the territory.

As part of the new strategy, the Hebrew-language channel said Israel, in coordination with the United States, will work to significantly expand the Yellow Line area across the Gaza Strip over the coming months.

Israel is murdering families on the first day of Eid, just like they were yesterday, just like they were the day before, and just like they have been doing since they invaded Palestine. Go be a witness and see what’s happening on our Instagram page from just the last hour through the journalists collaborating with our page.

Boycott AirBnB!

Palestinians in the West Bank continuously have their homes taken from them by Israeli settlers — homes that families have lived in for generations.

Sometimes settlers move into these homes, sometimes the homes are demolished, and sometimes they are listed on AirBnB. AirBnB refuses to remove these illegal listings and therefore supports the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land.

Imagine someone came, took your home, forced you to leave, and then listed your house as a holiday rental.

Boycott AirBnB!

Sign our e-action. Tell Hay Festival: there is no room for genocide, apartheid, or land theft:

The Hay Festival, held in Wales, is one of the world’s most respected cultural and literary festivals. This year, however, it is sponsored by Airbnb — and that should concern everyone who believes in human rights and international law.
Airbnb continues to list and profit from properties in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. These settlements are built on stolen Palestinian land and are illegal under international law.

The United Nations has formally included Airbnb in its database of companies linked to Israel’s illegal settlements. By continuing to profit from these listings, Airbnb is helping sustain a system of occupation, annexation, and the displacement of Palestinians.

Amnesty International UK has stated:
“Any company doing business in Israel’s illegal settlements is enabling a war crime and helping to prop up Israel’s system of apartheid.”

This is not the first time Airbnb’s sponsorships have faced opposition. When Airbnb sponsored Vivid Sydney, several artists cut ties with the festival, refusing to allow their work to be used to legitimise unethical corporate relationships.

The Hay Festival would never tolerate plagiarism. It should not tolerate land theft either.

Hay Festival celebrates literature, culture, and ideas. It should not be used to whitewash a corporation profiting from dispossession, displacement, and apartheid.

We are calling on writers, artists, festival-goers, and members of the public to speak out and urge Hay Festival to end its sponsorship deal with Airbnb.

Failure to act risks damaging the festival’s reputation and associating one of the world’s leading literary events with companies complicit in serious violations of international law.

Llofnodwch ein e-weithrediad. Dywedwch wrth Ŵyl y Gelli: nid oes lle i hil-laddiad, apartheid na lladrad tir.

👉 https://bit.ly/CloseTheBook

Gŵyl y Gelli, a gynhelir yng Nghymru, yw un o wyliau diwylliannol a llenyddol mwyaf uchel eu parch yn y byd. Eleni, fodd bynnag, fe'i noddir gan Airbnb - a dylai hynny fod yn peri pryder i bawb sy'n credu mewn hawliau dynol a chyfraith ryngwladol.

Mae Airbnb yn parhau i restru ac elwa o eiddo mewn aneddiadau anghyfreithlon Israel yn y Lan Orllewinol a Dwyrain Jerwsalem dan feddiannaeth. Mae'r aneddiadau hyn wedi'u hadeiladu ar dir Palestinaidd wedi'i ddwyn ac maent yn anghyfreithlon o dan gyfraith ryngwladol.

Mae'r Cenhedloedd Unedig wedi cynnwys Airbnb yn ffurfiol yn ei gronfa ddata o gwmnïau sy'n gysylltiedig â menter aneddiadau anghyfreithlon Israel. Drwy barhau i elwa o'r rhestrau hyn, mae Airbnb yn helpu i gynnal system o feddiannaeth, goresgyniad, a dadleoli Palestiniaid.

Mae Amnesty International UK wedi datgan:

"Mae unrhyw gwmni sy'n gwneud busnes yn aneddiadau anghyfreithlon Israel yn galluogi trosedd rhyfel ac yn helpu i gynnal system apartheid Israel."

Nid dyma'r tro cyntaf i nawdd Airbnb wynebu gwrthwynebiad. Pan noddodd Airbnb Vivid Sydney, torrodd sawl artist gysylltiadau â'r ŵyl, gan wrthod caniatáu i'w gwaith gael ei ddefnyddio i gyfreithloni perthnasoedd corfforaethol anfoesegol.

Ni fyddai Gŵyl y Gelli byth yn goddef llên-ladrad. Ni ddylai oddef lladrad tir chwaith.

Mae Gŵyl y Gelli yn dathlu llenyddiaeth, diwylliant a syniadau. Ni ddylid ei ddefnyddio i wyngalchu corfforaeth sy'n elwa o ddifeddiannu, dadleoli ac apartheid.

Rydym yn galw ar awduron, artistiaid, mynychwyr gŵyl ac aelodau'r cyhoedd i siarad allan ac annog Gŵyl y Gelli i ddod â'i chytundeb nawdd gydag Airbnb i ben.

Mae methu â gweithredu mewn perygl o niweidio enw da'r ŵyl a chysylltu un o brif ddigwyddiadau llenyddol y byd â chwmnïau sy'n rhan o droseddau difrifol o gyfraith ryngwladol.

Bombing Al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza while it was packed with families shopping for Eid Al-Adha.

Our Friend Ziad was there, thankfully he is safe, many are not.

There is no ceasefire, stop the bombing, stop the genocide.

Prey for their safety and Rise up!

A huge thank you to Palestine Solidarity Movement for bringing their Red Line to Cardigan over the weekend, and to all the organisations that helped facilitate it.

It was a powerful and unifying experience to be part of, with such an important message: we stand together against the atrocities being committed against Palestinians by Israel, and we condemn our governments for aiding and abetting genocide.

Not in our name.

From Wales to Palestine, we are the Red Line.

Diolch yn fawr iawn i Palestine Solidarity Movement am ddod â’u Llinell Goch i Aberteifi dros y penwythnos, ac i’r holl sefydliadau a helpodd i’w hwyluso.
Roedd yn brofiad pwerus ac unedig i fod yn rhan ohono, gyda neges mor bwysig: rydym yn sefyll gyda’n gilydd yn erbyn yr holl erchyllterau sy’n cael eu cyflawni yn erbyn y Palestiniaid gan Israel, ac rydym yn condemnio ein llywodraethau am gynorthwyo a chefnogi hil-laddiad.

Nid yn ein henw ni.

O Gymru i Balesteina, ni yw’r Llinell Goch.
