There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children. Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.

Words from @theimeu:  Today marks 77 years since the massacre of Deir Yassin, an atrocity that came to define the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 to establish the state of Israel on stolen Palestinian land.

This Doctor should have been safe by now, under protected status, and reveered by international leaders as an icon of Ethics. Instead he is still a hostage of Israel, which has abducted him without ever charging him.

As the occupying power, Israel has unequivocal obligations under international law – including international humanitarian law and international human rights law. Yet currently no humanitarian supplies can enter Gaza. Meanwhile, at the crossing points, food, medicine and shelter

Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people is being armed by the United States. It's up to us to ensure they don't get away with it. Solidarity!

Four people who participated in a pro-Palestine protest at a university in Berlin last year are fighting a court case against their deportation. Governments should not use immigration law to silence views that they disagree with. Learn more ⤵️

It has now been 106 days since Israel abducted Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. A pediatrician, a hospital director, a healthcare worker - protected under international law. He is one of hundreds of Palestinian healthcare workers illegally detained by Israel. #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

On the other hand, Mugabe never bribed a porn star (that we KNOW of), golfed his way thru Black Monday, used SocMed to vomit cretinisms, threatened to molest Greenland, insulted grieving military widows, single-handedly wrecked Zimbabwe's disaster-response system ... #Trump

Under the laws of war, civilians may not be deliberately targeted ❌ All parties to a conflict must take measures to minimize harm to civilians and must not carry out attacks that fail to distinguish between civilians and combatants or cause disproportionate harm to civilians.

If EU diplomats can be the target of the IDF in the West Bank, imagine how the Palestinians are treated. Netanyahu says he is engaged in a war of civilisation over barbarism, but the civilised world has concluded that it is the IDF that is engaged in a campaign of barbarism.

One year ago today. After Blinken lied about Israel deliberately blocking aid to starve Palestinians. The starvation and destruction of Gaza today was made possible by his actions.

Periodic reminder that the Rwanda Tribunal specifically listed - subjecting a group of people to a subsistence diet - systematic expulsion from homes and - reduction of essential medical services below minimum requirements as paradigmatic acts of genocide.

Netanyahu announces "he will end the war only if...Trump’s plan to relocate the territory’s population outside Gaza is implemented." So now the war is less about Hamas than about the crime against humanity of mass ethnic cleansing. trib.al/DRoUMUB

Some 81% of #Gaza is now within Israeli-militarized zones or under displacement orders. 160,000 have been displaced – again - over the past week alone. They are fleeing for their lives amid intense bombing of their communities and with no safe place to seek shelter or supplies.

AIs have made most Google services obsolete. I rarely use it for anything other than maps. Now I find that the G-Help community seems to find the terms data delimiters & demographic offensive. We have a saying for such low performers around here: Worthless as teats on a boar hog

Thanks to the courageous teams starting to get food and medicine into Gaza, against all the odds. We don’t know how long we’ll get, but we’ll save as many lives as we can with the time the world can get us. Every truck, every life, every sack of wheat counts. Let us work.

Israel and Egypt must grant independent access to Gaza. Journalists play an indispensable role in documenting and reporting on war crimes and other human rights violations. We welcome this support and urge others to join us 🤝 #PressFreedomIsYourFreedom
