🇵🇸 Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh has warned the Israeli occupation against submitting any proposal to divide the Al-Aqsa mosque compound on religious basis, saying that any such move will lead to “overwhelming anger with unpredictable results” given its religious sanctity for Palestinians, other Arabs, and Muslims in general.
Shtayyeh’s remarks came after the Islamic Supreme Council and Council of Scholars and Preachers in the occupied territories issued a statement on Sunday calling the Israeli proposal to divide the Al-Aqsa mosque dangerous.
Last week, Member of Knesset (MK) from the ruling Likud party, Amit Halevi, proposed a legislation as per which the Al-Aqsa mosque compound would be divided into two parts, to be allotted to settlers and Palestinians separately.

🇮🇷/🇨🇺/🇻🇪/🇳🇮 Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi arrived in Venezuela on Monday, June 12, on the first leg of his five-day visit to three Latin American countries. He is also slated to visit Cuba and Nicaragua.
The visit is significant since these countries, like Iran, are affected by unilateral sanctions imposed by the US.
Underlining the significance of his visit, Raisi claimed before leaving for Latin America that relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and independent countries are “strategic.”

🇨🇺/🇵🇪 June 14 marks the birth of two of the most important revolutionaries and Marxist thinkers in Latin America: José Carlos Mariátegui La Chira (1894-1930) and Ernesto Che Guevara (1928-1967).
The relationship between Mariátegui and Che Guevara is an ongoing one. It is thanks to Mariátegui’s work we remember, in the way that we do, the revolutionary Che Guevara. And thanks to Guevara we can have more access to Mariategui’s legacy.

#PeoplesHistory | Today, we remember the Battle of Century City when the Los Angeles police viciously attacked a peaceful Service Employees International Union (SEIU) demonstration by janitors and their supporters.
On May 29, 1990, mostly-immigrant janitors of the Century City complex went on strike to demand better working and payment conditions. LAPD officers, alleging self-defense, attacked the non-violent strikers resulting in the hospitalization of dozens of workers and the arrest of 60. One protester suffered a miscarriage due to the violent attack by police.
Despite the police assault, the strikers were not beaten into submission. Instead, they met the following day and unanimously voted to return to the scene of the violence. The establishment's plan to beat the strikers back to work backfired as police violence galvanized support for the strikers.
