🚨BREAKING 🇮🇹| In Italy, the general strike has shut down train lines, ports, highways, schools & shops. With a genocide ongoing, there can be NO business as usual.

🙏 Stay peaceful, everyone. Do not react to any provocation. Freedom for all allows no mistakes.

In 2011, Keir Starmer blocked the arrest of Tzipi Livni - Israel's foreign minister during the brutal bombing of Gaza in 2008/09 - over alleged war crimes.

The CPS is now censoring Starmer's emails about how that decision was made.

I really grew up thinking there was some kind of global consensus that genocide was bad.

For those who "it can't be genocide as the Palestinian population is growing".

Gaza has had the largest drop in life expectancy of any places on earth in modern history:

Children with Leukaemia also do not deserve to be starved to death, Emma.

[Ahmed Emad Gaza 🇵🇸🍉 @mad05999]

Everyday the violence is worse
And so is our hunger💔😭

I spend my days shielding my babies from b0mbing
And distracting them from painful starvation

How do you stop a baby’s cries when they only want food?

How will I protect my family from death?

🇬🇷 Watch: Greek citizens have turned the arrival of Israeli tourists aboard the Crown Iris, an Israeli cruise ship sailing from Haifa, into a rolling wave of pro-Palestine solidarity actions across the Mediterranean. From Syros to Crete, they have blocked docks, unfurled giant Palestinian flags, and faced down riot police wielding batons and tear gas.

These dockside confrontations are part of a wider mobilization — including workers who blockaded military cargo bound for Israel in Piraeus — that culminated in the Aug. 10 “Nationwide Day of Action,” one of the largest pro-Palestine demonstrations in Greek history, with tens of thousands rallying in more than 120 sites. “We can’t have Greece become a playground for IDF soldiers,” one protester said.

Full story by @Alexis_Daloumis for Drop Site, on how a surging pro-Palestine movement is confronting Israeli tourists in Greece this summer — despite the country’s lucrative Israeli tourism industry, worth more than €400 million last year.

The incredible reporting in Haaretz gives an overview of all the obstacles Israel creates to the delivery of aid in Gaza.

1) Strict Registration Requirements:
Many humanitarian organizations are denied registration or have their applications delayed, especially if any of their staff have criticized Israel or if they refuse to provide lists of Palestinian employees—which can violate their home countries’ laws.

2) Rejection of Dozens of Aid Organizations:
The Israeli Welfare Ministry, especially under Minister Shikli, has rejected dozens of organizations seeking to send aid, citing new, more restrictive procedures.

3) Bureaucratic Delays and Permit Issues:
Aid convoys face complex and frequently changing bureaucratic processes for approvals, which delay the movement of trucks and increase costs.

4) Police Escort Requirement (and Delays):
Israel now demands police escorts for every aid convoy from Jordan, but police often fail to show up, causing further delays or cancellations.

5) Military Delays and Logistics at Kerem Shalom Crossing:
The Israeli military accelerates loading but then delays trucks for hours at the crossing, limits loading and tying time, and sometimes sends them on dangerous routes.

6) Limited and Unpredictable Crossing Access:
Crossings like Kerem Shalom and Be’eri are often closed on Fridays and Saturdays, and there’s no simultaneous passage for aid teams and trucks.

7) Physical Barriers and Checkpoints:
Additional checkpoints and physical barriers block or slow convoys, often trapping trucks for hours or even days.

8) Restrictions on Allowed Goods:
Israel restricts or bans certain food items (e.g., dates, potatoes), medical supplies, generators, solar panels, and even prefab clinics, often with unclear or shifting justifications.

9) Forcing Use of Vulnerable Routes:
The army directs convoys through dangerous, looted routes, sometimes suspected of encouraging theft to show the UN as “ineffective.”

10) No Military Escort for Convoys in Gaza:
Convoys aren’t accompanied by military or police once inside Gaza, leaving them exposed to looting and attacks.

11) Collapse of Social Order:
Israel’s attacks on Gaza police and governance have led to chaos, making it even harder to distribute aid safely.

12) Crippling UNRWA and Humanitarian Agencies:
Israel has expelled international UNRWA staff, barred them from coordinating with Israeli authorities, and made it nearly impossible for the agency to function.

13) Targeting the UN Humanitarian Office (OCHA):
The Israeli government has taken steps against OCHA staff, including revoking the visa of the Gaza office chief, further hampering coordination.

14) No Time to Secure Loads:
Aid organizations aren’t given enough time to safely tie down food on trucks, causing food to spill or be stolen before reaching those in need.

15) Delays in Final Distribution:
Even after entering Gaza, aid is often stuck at logistics areas near the crossings, with organizations barred from freely collecting and distributing supplies, which limits how much food actually gets to people.

Remember that list of obstacles Israel creates the next time someone blames the UN or Hamas for hunger in Gaza. This is an intentional policy of making it seem like Israel iss providing aid without actually providing it.
