.B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم & Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) have joined Palestinian & intl orgs calling Israel’s actions in Gaza what they are: Genocide. Crucially, B’Tselem highlights how decades of settler-colonial apartheid laid the groundwork for the #GazaGenocide through systematic violence against Palestinians

#巴勒斯坦 的饥饿问题可能夺走成千上万人的生命,却完全是一场人祸。它是 #以色列 蓄意采取以饥饿为战争武器的政策所致,足以构成战争罪、危害人类罪和灭绝种族罪行为。

Update: a source tells me Ursula von der Leyen is tabling the motion to partially suspend Israel’s access to Horizon. So it will likely be adopted by the Commission. Tomorrow the members states will decide whether to support the proposal.

As Israelis and Palestinians who live here and are exposed on a daily basis to testimonies and lived realities, it is our duty to speak the truth and say in the clearest way: Israel is committing genocide - this is our genocide. We believe that it is our duty to speak truth from

NEW from Senator Angus King: “I cannot defend the indefensible…I am through supporting the actions of the current Israeli government and will advocate—and vote—for an end to any United States support whatsoever until there is a demonstrable change in the direction of Israeli policy”

Amid growing consensus that #Israel is committing #genocide, almost 2 years on, the EU is “proposing a partial suspension of 🇮🇱’s participation into a research programme” Read that again. This is appalling, embarrassing, and wholly inadequate, Ursula von der Leyen #SuspendTheDeal

Two months ago Odeh Hadalin came to the US at the invitation of Jewish groups—he was detained at SFO and deported without explanation. Today, he was murdered by a settler Trump let off US sanctions list. This is what their policy protects. haaretz.com/us-news/2025-0…

I can hardly believe it. My dear friend Awdah was slaughtered this evening.He was standing in front of the community center in his village when a settler fired a bullet that pierced his chest and took his life. This is how Israel erases us — one life at a time. الله يرحمك

The Financial Times: “Unless the Israeli government agrees to an immediate end to the war and a surge of aid into Gaza, western countries should be sanctioning Netanyahu and his government. They should halt all arms sales to Israel” ft.com/content/69d525…

"Une reconnaissance de l’État palestinien ne doit pas faire perdre de vue l’urgence absolue à Gaza, ni la poursuite de la colonisation et des violences en Cisjordanie. Sans peuple ni terre, un Etat palestinien restera une illusion." 📝Tribune de 11 ONG ⤵ hrw.org/fr/news/2025/0…

As starvation worsens by the day in Gaza, the Netanyahu govt has been using food as a weapon of war — with complicity from Trump & U.S. taxpayer dollars. This is painful to listen to but here’s what a U.S. Army veteran & Green Beret who witnessed it first-hand recounted to me:

Israeli public figures call for ‘crippling sanctions’ on Israel over Gaza starvation. Time for measures with real teeth, not empty symbolism that costs Israel nothing (such as recognizing Palestinian Bantustans as a state). theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

Prominent Israeli artists, scientists, and former government officials call for crippling sanctions on Israel: "The international community must impose crippling sanctions on Israel until it ends this brutal campaign and implements a permanent ceasefire." theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

🚨Breaking!!! Govt's decision 2 ban Palestine Action under terrorism law will be reviewed by Courts. The Govt's decision is a grave abuse of state power & a terrifying escalation in this government's crusade to curtail protest rights. tinyurl.com/4an6z7xy
