Independent human rights experts:

'As the 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒐𝒎 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂 approaches Palestinian territorial waters off #Gaza , Israel must adhere to international law, including recent orders from International Court of Justice to ensure unimpeded access for humanitarian aid.'

Doctors, nurses and paramedics in Gaza who have worked heroically, tirelesssly and with extraordinary devotion have not been paid for 7 months. The humanitarian sector needs to create mechanisims through which they can be supported.

As Israel's brutal war in Gaza grows more devastating each day, it’s no wonder so many students are moved to protest. All states must respect and ensure the right of peaceful assembly, urgently suspend arms transfers to Israel and call for a ceasefire now.

I don’t know if there is anymore to say. Gunshot wounds in children, amputations of children’s limbs one after another, insufficient medication not even painkillers.

This has now been 6 months & it continues day after day & 🇬🇧 continues 2 license military equip 2 🇮🇱

The student encampments / protests they’re fear-mongering about.

Terrifying isn’t it?

'Israel’s war in Gaza has created 37 million tons of debris, much of it laced with unexploded bombs, which could take more than a decade to remove, a top UN demining official said.' theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

Much ado about nothing? A thread on the ICJ president comments:

The amount of sophistry in defending Israel's crimes is just astounding.

But it's also a lesson in how the technical can obscure rather illuminate reality:

🚨 New from Human Rights Watch: US universities should respect the right to protest, end their crackdown on peaceful pro-Palestinian protests.

You have killed over 13000 children

You are starving people to death

You have bombed hospitals, schools, universities, homes, killed and wounded tens of thousands, traumatized millions

And, you're banalizing antisemitism

The world cannot stand idly by, Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Disturbing reports of the discovery of mass graves at hospitals in Gaza—including naked individuals with their hands tied—amid mounting evidence of atrocities underline the importance of the Int'l Criminal Court Palestine investigation. Vital that states support fight for justice.

Member States must not lose sight of #Syria , amid the largest escalation in violence in four years, Syrians face unprecedented hardship. 16.7 million require humanitarian assistance, largest number since the start of the crisis.

Since the Captagon Act calls basically only for more sanctions, it's unfortunate the version signed by President Biden today calls for targeting:
* someone already sanctioned for their role in captagon (Imad Abu Zureiq)
* someone dead (Mustafa al-Masalmeh), and

I'm just going to leave these here, in case anyone falls for baseless fearmongering from THIS man.

Israel in Gaza has:
- destroyed EVERY university
- destroyed/damaged > 345 schools
- killed > 4300 students & > 230 teachers

.@AmnestyUSA slams college crackdowns on Gaza protests: “Instead of facilitating and protecting their students’ right to protest, universities’ administrations have gone to great lengths to quash it, even involving local authorities and demanding arrests” amnestyusa.org/press-releases…

🚨Lebanese authorities have detained, tortured, & deported Syrians to Syria in recent months, including opposition activists & army defectors.

Others are fighting to remain, despite deportation orders & an increasingly hostile environment.
