COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.
One of the most upsetting things I’ve read in a long time. Are Jews so low that their claims of rape are to be presumptively disbelieved - even in the face of evidence from the perpetrators themselves?
@UN_Women Just a whisper, after 57 days... but we can hope more institutions can also place their humanity ahead of their politics again, where it belongs
A bunch of academics telling Jews we can’t use our own collective memory of the Holocaust to help us process the atrocities of October 7 is really rich. Sorry, professors, if it offends your sensibilities but you can’t tell a people it can’t use its own history to help it make sense of its present. We’ll continue using Holocaust comparisons because this is what October 7 felt like to so many us. You, meanwhile, can continue marching into irrelevance. And the more op-eds & open letters you publish in outlets whose titles start with ‘New York,’ the sooner you’ll get there.
It’s amazing how quickly the world forgot that this was what the streets of Gaza looked like when Hamas terrorists brought in hostages and bodies of Israelis into the strip.
Women were raped by them. Women were murdered by them. Women were kidnapped by them. Women were burned alive by them. Yet, the @UN_Women organization has remained silent.
Why??
Because they are Israelis
They didn’t mention the Jewish babies, girls, and women massacred, raped, mutilated, shot, stabbed, burned alive, and held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. This is an organization that is supposed to uphold women’s human rights around the world. Despite this, they chose to IGNORE the brutal crimes against humanity committed by Hamas against Jewish women and girls in Israel.
Your silence and criminal neglect of babies, women, and girls will not be erased from history.
