Peter Link 🍉🇨🇺🇵🇸🐧Here is a t-shirt I just came up with, produced and sold by a vendor on Etsy (I get no money from it). It's 2-sided, so you can be a human sandwich board. 😉
(Or you could order it special with one side.)

Peter Link 🍉🇨🇺🇵🇸🐧This is a #graphic that I came up with a few years ago. It has the slogan in 7 languages: #Spanish, #Arabic, #Hebrew, #English, #Esperanto, #Farsi, and #French.
I just had a vendor on Etsy make me a few #tshirts with it, and if you want one for yourself let me know. (I don't make or sell them, only the vendor does.)

Peter Link 🍉🇨🇺🇵🇸🐧Recognising #Palestinian state must not distract from ending #Gaza mass deaths, UN expert says
#FrancescaAlbanese, UN special rapporteur for the occupied territories, calls for practical actions and warns against distracting ‘attention from where it should be: the genocide’
from #TheGuardian #Guardian
Wed 13 Aug 2025 05.00 EDT
She called for an embargo on all arms sales to #Israel and a cessation of trade agreements – as well as accountability for the war crimes and crimes against humanity with which the international criminal court has charged top #Israeli officials. She also called for a complete Israeli withdrawal from occupied territory by the 17 September deadline set by the #UN general assembly.“Ending the question of #Palestine in line with international law is possible and necessary: end the genocide today, end the permanent occupation this year, and end apartheid,” she said.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/13/palestinian-statehood-israel-gaza-francesca-albanese?CMP=share_btn_url
Peter Link 🍉🇨🇺🇵🇸🐧One of the Few Israelis with a Direct Line to Gazans Urges the Public to Confront ‘Extreme’ Horrors
The following was the lead article in the #Israeli daily Haaretz on August 7, 2025.
reprinted with an introduction by #WorldOutlook
August 11, 2025
“I read and translate testimonies of people who walk 7 kilometers each way in order lug a sack of flour weighing 30 kilos in this horrific heat. How can we even imagine that? The extreme heat is also playing a part.“It’s terribly frightening because every time, you feel as if you’ve crossed another threshold from which it’s already impossible to return. For example, the erasure of #Gaza — there is no way back from that. What that means is, that even if the last soldier returns to Israel today and the Gaza Strip is opened to the world, we’re in a situation in which there is no way to exist in Gaza.”https://world-outlook.com/2025/08/11/jewish-jihad-has-seized-control-of-israel/

Last post from Anas al-Sharif, whom Al Jazeera calls one of Gaza’s bravest journalists, decries failure to stop ‘massacre’
from #TheGuardian #Guardian
Mon 11 Aug 2025 07.39 EDT
Sharif, one of #AlJazeera’s most recognisable faces in Gaza, was killed while inside a tent for journalists outside al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza City on Sunday night. Seven people were killed in the attack...https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/11/funeral-held-for-anas-al-sharif-and-other-journalists-killed-in-israeli-strike?CMP=share_btn_url
[...]
The #IIDF admitted carrying out the attack, claiming Sharif was the leader of a Hamas cell responsible for rocket attacks against #Israel – an allegation that Al Jazeera and Sharif had previously dismissed as baseless.It was the first time during the war that Israel’s military has swiftly claimed responsibility after a journalist was killed in a strike.

Peter Link 🍉🇨🇺🇵🇸🐧The Israeli Assassination of Journalist Anas al-Sharif and Five Colleagues in Gaza City
“We understand these are our last days.”
from #DropSiteNews
Abdel Qader Sabbah and Sharif Abdel Kouddous
Aug 11, 2025
At just 28 years old, Anas had emerged as the most recognized #Palestinian journalist still alive and reporting from #Gaza. He remained in the north from the beginning of #Israel’s onslaught of the enclave and became a near-constant presence on television and online, reporting almost every day on airstrikes, shelling, massacres, displacement, famine, death, and dismemberment—while relaying glimpses of hope and accounts of Palestinian resilience whenever he could.Barely an hour before he was killed, al-Sharif warned of the impending #Israeli invasion. “If this madness does not end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased...https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sharif-israeli-assassination-journalists-gaza-city

<i>"Whoever said West Virginia was a conservative state?" #BernieSanders asked the crowd in Wheeling. "Somebody got it wrong."</i>
from #CommonDreams
Julia Conley
Aug 09, 2025
> ...some in the crowd sported red bandanas around their necks—a nod to the state's long history of labor organizing and the thousands of coal mine workers who formed a multiracial coalition in 1921 and marched wearing bandanas for the right to join a union with fair pay and safety protections."Fifteen million Americans, including 50,000 right here in West Virginia, are going to lose their healthcare," #Sanders said of the Medicaid cuts...Seven hospitals are expected to shut down in the state as a result of the law's #Medicaid cuts, and 84,000 West Virginians will lose #SupplementalNutritionAssistanceProgram benefits, according to estimates.

If you want to protest in UK against a government that outlawed the pacifist organization "Palestine Action" with the anti-terrorism law, here is a plan for you:
1) Print the T-Shirt of the image below
2) Make a trip to UK
3) Wear the shirt at a public rally
4) Get unduly arrested under terrorism act for speaking the truth as nonviolent resistance against the authoritarian nature of regimes supporting ongoing genocide.
