Edward Said, and the Palestine that was never an empty desert[from FB post by We Stand With Francesca Albanese]#EdwardSaid was born on November 1, 1935, in Jerusalem, Palestine.He dedicated his work to dismantling the false historiography used to justify the founding of the State of Israel.Before the first Aliyot, Jews made up barely 3% of the population. #Palestine was not an empty desert. It was a prosperous territory of the Ottoman Empire, with banks, industry, and agricultural exports that rivaled those of Italy.Its population grew endogenously precisely because it was a thriving place.Much of the population living today in #Gaza and the #WestBank descends from the families expelled from the lands that now make up #Israel.#FreePalestine #SanctionIsrael#AntiZionismIsNotAntisemitism #BDS #DivestFromIsrael #SolidarityWithPalestineIsNotAntisemitism #EqualRightsForAllFromTheRiverToTheSeaIsNotAntisemitic#JewHatredHurtsPalestine#news #politics@palestine

Bernie Sanders: Ban Superintelligence [from NYT - nytimes.com/2026/09/21/opinion]Sept. 21, 2026 Will A.I. wipe out humanity in 10 years, 20 years — or never? I don’t know. You don’t know. But I don’t want to wait to find out.Call me a raging conservative, but I don’t want to see a dangerous technology continue to evolve rapidly when the owners of that technology acknowledge they can’t control it and they don’t know where it’s going. For the sake of all humanity, the United States and China must reach an agreement to stop dangerous A.I. development.link to PDF file with his article - drive.proton.me/urls/N3K8T5K5Z#news #politics #Aritificialintelligence #AI #technology #BernieSanders@technology

The Ulm 5 Trial Dramatizes Germany’s Complicity with #Israel’s Genocide in #GazaFive activists who vandalized an Elbit Systems factory aim to put Germany and the #Israeli weapons company on trial.dropsitenews.com/p/ulm5-elbit-Hebh JamalSep 16, 2026No one was injured in the action, which allegedly caused €1.04 million in damages, and the protesters remained at the scene to be arrested. Even so, German prosecutors have clearly decided to treat the #Ulm5 with unusual severity, charging them with membership in a criminal organization, #PalestineActionGermany, in addition to trespassing and criminal damage. An additional charge concerns the use of “symbols of an unconstitutional or terrorist organisation”—referring to #Hamas—based on the defendants’ use of slogans including “From the river to the sea, #Palestine will be free.”#FreePalestine #RightToProtest #ElbitSystems #Germany#Ulm5 @palestine
