The Turkish Foreign Ministry, 6 months into the genocide in Gaza, has taken the decision to halt all exports to the zionist entity until a ceasefire is enacted in Gaza and increased aid is allowed in.
The restrictions will begin today, affecting 54 products, including construction materials and equipment. This move comes in response to the zionist entity's prevention of Turkish aid from reaching Gaza via air drops.
While the move is a welcome one, it should be noted that trade between the zionist entity and Turkiye skyrocketed after October 7th, to the tune of over $5 billion.
The entity sources the majority of its steel and cement from Turkiye, and over 500 Turkish ships arrived in the entity since October 7th. Dozens in Turkiye have been arrested for protesting this egregious normalization, while leadership displays superficial sympathy with the Palestinian plight.

Today, on Ghassan Kanafani's birthday, we remember Ghassan's resistance and the many ways that it manifested.
Today, we honor Ghassan Kanafani, a revolutionary whose name is eternally carved in struggle for the liberation of Palestine.
Ghassan was not only a writer or thinker. A leader of PFLP along with George Habash, he was a military strategist, an embodiment of what martyr Basil Al-Araj called “the clashing intellectual,” despite having never fired a weapon.
It is indisputable that Ghassan's name embodies all the qualities of a real resistance fighter in his life and in his death: a writer, thinker, artist, politician, father, husband, son, revolutionary, intellectual, and fighter all at once. He understood the power of words and used them to ignite a revolution in the hearts of the people that still burns to this day and fuels acts of resistance.
It is one thing to write. It is a completely different thing to make writing a weapon. Your pen the barrel of a rifle, your words the bullets fired into the chest of the enemy. Ghassan understood that.
His left a mark on so many that it is difficult to believe it was only coincidence—from being the first to notice Naji Al-Ali’s drawings at an exhibition in Beirut and publishing his drawings, to working alongside George Habash, to influencing Mahmoud Darwish’s writings. One of his most famous quotes was: "Beware of a natural death and do not die except under a hail of bullets," inspire many resistance fighters who transform his ideology into actions. These same words are written on the grave of the Lion of Nablus, Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi.
The truth is Ghassan was a fighter who fought with his words, embodying “a cultural form of resistance is never less valuable than armed resistance itself.” This ethos was central to how he operated. His words—inspiring so many to carry the rifle and to write their own martyrdom while defiantly facing the enemy—were exactly why that same enemy needed to silence him.
With everything he offered to the cause, Ghassan could only ascend as a martyr. And so he rose, on a sunny summer day in Beirut in a Mossad assassination that targeted him and his 17-year-old niece Lamees. His body was scattered on the ground. His left hand was found on a tree.
Curiously, his watch didn’t stop ticking. "Bodies fall, but not the idea." Revolutionary thoughts do not abide by the rules of time.

The vote of the “National Education Union in Britain” in solidarity with Palestine and describing the occupation as racist is an important and unusual shift in the public sentiment of Britain.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine described the vote of the National Education Union in Britain in favor of a motion calling for solidarity with Palestine and criticizing the “israeli” government as racist as an important and unusual shift in the public sentiment in Britain.
The Front added, "The union's challenge to the warnings of Education Minister Gillian Keegan not to discuss the war on Gaza under the justification of 'causing harm to the Jewish community in British schools' constitutes a severe blow to the zionists in Britain and the right-wing zionists in the British government and parties. It also contributes to strengthening and expanding the widespread and unprecedented popular movement in Britain denouncing the zionist genocide war against the Gaza Strip, and increasing pressure on the British government to resolve its biased position towards the zionist entity, despite the success of the pressure movement in causing a significant shift in the British official position.
The Front concluded its statement stressing the need for various unions, syndicates, parties and others to follow the example of the National Education Union, not only in Britain but throughout the world, in order to strengthen the state of solidarity with the Palestinian cause, boycott and besiege the zionist entity and delegitimize it as a colonial entity that practices the most heinous crimes against the Palestinians people, and expose the Western zionist system involved as a partner with them in these crimes.
