Josep Borrell, High Rep. of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy: "Well, if you [Biden] believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide less arms in order to prevent so many people being killed" #Gaza
@and_joy_ I hope his terrible behaviour clarifies to more reasonable people the extent of dehumanization faced by Muslims in some circles in the US/UK/Europe and, perhaps, explain to some who they stand with when they ignore the war crimes committed against innocent people in Gaza.
What is being perpetrated by the vicious Zionist occupation in Gaza, in the form of intense bombing, killing, cutting off electricity and internet, destroying all aspects of life, and blocking information about the scale of massacres and war crimes taking place, constitutes blind terrorism and a blatant violation of legal and humanitarian conventions and norms. The world must condemn and take decisive action to stop this at once. History will never forgive those who failed to defend innocent Palestinians or supported this continued Zionist terrorism. It is the duty of the Arab and Islamic nations, along with all free people of the world, to unite and find an immediate solution and rescue the oppressed Palestinian people, who are facing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
@tomaspueyo Not true: Jawhar AlSiqili of the Fatimid empire did & established the Fatimid Dynasty in Egypt. This led to the building of the modern city of Cairo & a few other things.
The scale of devastation is unfathomable. Please donate as much as you can through UNICEF and other intl organisations, especially to the already war-torn Northern Syria.
According to some estimates, 180,000 people may be trapped under rubble in southern #Turkey -- alive & dead.
We've barely scratched the surface of the tragedy.
