@KhalilAssali And you should. The editor is Nabulsi, born and semi-bred.

Second printing of the first book I ever published. Thank you @bibliographie_ for letting me know. I am so proud of the publication and everyone who contributed to it. We were so young then.

“Every evening at 7pm, I call the parish of Gaza.”

Hearing-challenged Hashem Ghazal from Gaza was a skilled carpenter, husband and father-of-9: the israelis massacred him & his wife today

Excellent news!

🎯TRAVEL BAN OVERTURNED 🎯

After weeks of difficulties, Professor @GhassanAbuSitt1 has won a huge victory as lawyer Alexander Gorski, ICJP lawyers and @ELSClegal succeeded in challenging Germany's Schengen-wide travel ban on the war surgeon.

After returning from working in Gaza hospitals, and as a witness to war crimes, Professor Ghassan faced hostile press and eventually a travel ban by German authorities.

He was deprived of his freedom of expression and freedom to travel when he was refused entry to France, Netherlands and Germany as he tried to spread the word about the war crimes he witnessed.

Now, with the ban overturned, Ghassan should be able to travel freely around the Schengen area once again.

In this new article for the @JournalGenocide I argue that Israel's onslaught on Gaza has crossed the threshold of the military logic of defeating the enemy to the genocidal logic of elimination: https://t.co/MVrqPQ851N

This evening, Israeli residents set fire twice to the perimeter of the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem.

This took place while UNRWA and other UN Agencies’ staff were on the compound.
While there were no casualties among our staff, the fire caused extensive damage to the outdoor areas. The UNRWA headquarters has on its grounds a petrol and diesel station for the Agency’s fleet of cars.

Our director with the help of other staff had to put out the fire themselves as it took the Israeli fire extinguishers and police a while before they turned up.

A crowd accompanied by armed men were witnessed outside the compound chanting “Burn down the United Nations” (see video below 👇 from Israeli media).

This is an outrageous development. Once again, the lives of UN staff were at a serious risk.
In light of this second appalling incident in less than a week, I have taken the decision to close down our coumpound until proper security is restored.

Over the past two months, Israeli extremists have been staging protests outside the UNRWA compound in Jerusalem, called by an elected member of the Jerusalem municipality.
This week, the protest became violent when demonstrators threw stones at UN staff and at the buildings of the compound.

Over the past months, UN staff have regularly been subjected to harassment and intimidation. Our compound has been seriously vandalized and damaged.
On several occasions, Israeli extremists threatened our staff with guns.

It is the responsibility of the State of Israel as an occupying power to ensure that United Nations personnel and facilities are protected at all times.
UN staff, premises and operations should be protected at all times in line with international law.

I call on all those who have influence to put an end to these attacks and hold all those responsible accountable.
The perpetrators of these attacks must be investigated and those responsible must be held accountable.
Anything less will set a new dangerous standard.

and bans him from entering the Netherlands. Witnesses to the genocide in Gaza are silenced. More soon."

First Germany and now France. They want to bury evidence of genocide.

The murder of Dr Adnan Al-Bursh in Israeli prisons was a red-line in the same way the Al-Ahli Hospital massacre was. Once safely crossed the whole project can be rolled out. The lives of over 100 health workers in prisons are in danger.

[Sandra Tamari @SandraTamari1]

My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.

[Dana Sajdi @BarberDamascus]

@SandraTamari1 Send him all my love and healing vibes
