The EU representative in Israel just had ''a lot of fun'' in Bersheva. 40 km from the Gaza destruction camp, where Israel -army, institutions, politicians- has condemned what remains of Gaza and its people, to absolute misery.

Every era has its blind spots and zones of interest.

Painful, painful and a necessary reading.

Meanwhile, the heroic doctor's torture by Israel continues. They continue to torture Dr. Hussam Abu Sefia for the crime of not abandoning his patients. Without laying charges, offering him anything resembling due process, Israel is killing him slowly. One day, everyone will say they were against this

While the usual minions spread new falsehoods about fellow UN experts and me, here is what Israel and its supporters want absolutely you not to see. The body of evidence.

Warning: highly disturbing content.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

There are alarming reports of settler violence coming from the occupied West Bank: the demolition of homes, relentless expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, ongoing displacement of Palestinians, the threat of an attempted annexation that would – like the decades-long occupation – have no legal validity.

The risk of making a two-State solution impossible – when there is no other viable option.

And throughout, the presumption of impunity.

These injustices must stop.

Countries must comply with all their obligations under international law.

No exceptions.

Thank you President 🇸🇮.
Palestine is the moral compass of our time.
From Spain to Slovenia there is hope for Europe. A Europe that puts people above banks and markets, rights above profits, and respects int'l law regardless of political calculus.

Belgium says it suspended arms trade with Israel.

Yet weapons shipments destined for Israel are still reportedly moving through Liège airport via FedEx Belgium.

Now @amnestybe is joining a lawsuit alleging the transfers are continuing in violation of the suspension.
