- This destruction is genocidal.More footage emerges from Gaza amid the temporary truce showcasing how Israel has been methodically wiping out as much of the besieged enclave as possible. There's a reason the Biden admin were worried people would demand a ceasefire when they get to see these clips! Quick🧵...
00:00 - Countries that celebrate the release of four Israeli hostages without saying a word about the hundreds of Palestinians killed and thousands held in arbitrary detention by Israel, have lost moral credibility for generations and don’t deserve to be on any UN human rights body.
- Outrageous attack on my colleague @FranceskAlbs by @SecRubio and the US government for just doing her job with courage, dedication and expertise. I reject this act as a criminal act of desperation which will not stand the test of time. Every sane person must reject this.Today I am imposing sanctions on UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for her illegitimate and shameful efforts to prompt @IntlCrimCourt action against U.S. and Israeli officials, companies, and executives. Albanese’s campaign of political and economic
- Israel - explain why?Israel killed Prof. Refaat al-Areer, one of Gaza's most prominent writers, poets & activists who spent his life trying to get Gaza's voice to the outside world. He was killed in a targeted airstrike on his sister's home that also killed his brother, sister & her 4 kids...
- Thank you South Africa!South Africa institutes proceedings against the State of Israel before the International Court of Justice under the Genocide Convention and requests provisional measures
- Attacking women and children while they cower in their shelters in Rafah is a monstrous atrocity. We need concerted global action to stop Israel’s actions now.
- Speechless at this sadistic “aid delivery” in Gaza if this is true. A US-Israeli crime of crimes using aid delivery to humiliate, kill and torture.🚨Thousands of starved Gazans storm the dystopian Israeli-American aid complex in Rafah after being forced to stand in endless queues & bake in the sun in a fenced concentration camp while being subjected to biometric surveillance US mercenaries & Israeli troops are opening fire

- More than 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza might be dead according to this analysis that relies on data from the Israeli IDF. Not surprising in the light of the Lancet report months ago that estimated the dead at 200,000. A monstrous genocide!
- "The Scream of Gaza" by Tunisian artist Omar Esstar.
- In over 30 years of studying and engaging with communities affected by displacement, I have never seen a shocking atrocity like this. Multiple forced displacement of generations, compelled to be on the run.
- We are now seeing famine across the whole of Gaza. All houses destroyed, food systems destroyed and healthcare destroyed. And kids are dying. Is there any humanity left?The recent deaths of more #Palestinian children due to hunger & malnutrition leaves no doubt that famine has spread across the entire #Gaza strip - UN experts warn. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
- What has happened in Gaza is the result of what I call ‘institutionalized impunity’. Impunity for occupation. For a war of extermination. Genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. If the ICC does not act very soon, we need a special tribunal for Gaza and action by States.
- It is now clear that it is America itself which is leading genocidal war against the Palestinians. Israel is simply the instrument. All are equally guilty of grave breaches of international law and elementary decency but America is primarily at fault.The US State Department has just approved the sale of $20+ billion in weapons to Israel — including F-15 aircrafts, missiles, and tank & mortar cartridges
