and for us to work for true peace, which includes justice. He said, “Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.” We have much to correct. Here is a clip of my father talking about withdrawing from the Vietnam War and “moral power.” #MLK

🧵 Amy: Certainly, my father was against antisemitism, as am I. He also believed militarism (along with racism and poverty) to be among the interconnected Triple Evils. I am certain he would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease, for hostages to be released…

I encourage you to read ‘Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?’ I mourn with all who are mourning. I know that we can’t afford to diminish & dehumanize each other if we are truly committed to ridding humanity of the Triple Evils & to freedom from oppression for all.

My favorite quote from your father is “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” Thank you for speaking up 🙏

And there can be no justice without an end to the genocide and a true commitment to Palestinian liberation.

@johncusack Ni r hope. But that strategy actually would need the powers to be to restrain. Those powers are not the Palestinians or Hamas to that matter. Strings are pulled by USA Britain Isreal and the west in general.

Respectfully, Gaza is not Algeria or Vietnam. Israel did in fact unilaterally withdraw from Gaza in 2005. Instead of getting a loving neighbor, it got thousands of rockets lobbed into its territory indiscriminately and the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

Justice is the very line from which the movement towards secure peace may begin. Weapons give physical protection, but it is justice that restores the sense of security to life that was protected with the strength of weapons. And justice also brings back the sense of predictability to all global relations. Every potential aggressor should know what awaits him if he ruins peace. It is justice that can ensure this. We have to do everything possible for the strength of justice so that justice provides real strength to our common security – security from aggressions and terror. And let everyone who destroys peace be truly afraid of facing trial in the Hague. I made this statement during the conference "Restoring Justice for Ukraine". It is taking place today in The Hague bringing together states and organizations working to achieve justice for Ukraine. The conference aims to assess progress in the investigation of Russian war crimes and in the coordination of international efforts for justice. #RestoringJusticeForUkraine

The war in #Ukraine is a call to action for all of us! It challenges us to stand together in solidarity, uphold the values that bind us, and strive for a world where peace and justice prevail. And with all of us standing together, peace and justice will prevail! #UAPeaceSummit

Now we have the proof from Tulsi Gabbard. Everything we said about #COVID was true. We were right. And we demand justice for the people of Australia.

My father’s work for justice did not grow apart from faith. It grew out of it. When Faith Calls points to the spiritual grounding that shaped Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s ministry, his commitment to nonviolence, and his courage in the face of opposition. At a time when so much is distorted, I believe this docuseries can help people better understand the faith that informed his witness and the responsibility we still have to live out justice with conviction, love, and moral clarity. When faith calls, courage is the answer. Stay tuned for more. #WhenFaithCalls #CourageIsTheAnswer #MLK #Nonviolence365 #BelovedCommunity

Advocate Indira Jaising says, "We are here to stand with the students. We are here to stand on the side of justice. We are here to demand justice for the students. We are not here to agitate for ourselves. This is not about us. This concerns the rights of students, and it is the duty of lawyers to stand before the Supreme Court and demand justice for them. The role and function of the Supreme Court of India is to dispense justice. That is why we are here, in the temple of justice, with our demands." (Full video available on PTI Videos -

Asked Thomas Bach if he accepted that the IOC were prioritising inclusion at the expense of fairness and safety for women. “This is a question of justice,” he said. What about justice for the women who have already lost Olympic medals to Lin and Khelif?

Finnish President Stubb: Russia has been waging its war of aggression against Ukraine for almost four years. Its actions are illegal and immoral. We are closer to peace than ever during the war, but at the same time we cannot be sure whether Russia is ready for peace. Peace is most often a compromise, and we must prepare for the fact that all parts of a peace agreement will likely not meet our sense of justice. However, we will do everything we can to ensure that Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity are preserved. Ukraine is part of a free and democratic Europe now and in the future. We will continue to support Ukraine, we will not tire, and together with our allies we will ensure that Russia will never again attack its neighbor.

There are always Jewish people on pro-Palestine peace marches. The rest of the marchers have a huge amount of love and respect for them, because we all share a desire for peace and justice for the Palestinian people. That’s ALL this is about.

My father showed us that nonviolence is not passive and it is not weak. It is love organized into action. It is courage disciplined enough to confront injustice without surrendering our humanity. That truth still matters now. In this season of ongoing attacks on voting rights and efforts to turn us against one another, we are called to do more than react. We are called to organize, build, and move with the kind of moral force that can challenge systems and transform society. My father did not just dream of a better world. He helped build the power to bring change, and that same work is still before us. #MLK #VotingRights #Montgomery #Nonviolence365

My father taught me two things. He taught me right from wrong, and he taught me to love this country. Weaponizing the legal system against people for basic freedom of speech goes against everything this country stands for.

Almost 60 years ago, my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke with moral clarity about the dangers of war and the consequences of militarism. And here we are again. We are still too often drunk with war and militarism, choosing destruction over understanding and power over principle. The cost continues to be measured in human lives, broken communities, and a world pushed further from peace. We must commit ourselves to the discipline of nonviolence and the hard work of creating the Beloved Community. The time has long passed for us to learn what it means to study war no more. #MLK #Nonviolence #BelovedCommunity
