Deliberately engineering a future genocide by starvation

[Irlandarra @aldamu_jo]

Nobel Peace Prize is really a joke.

“I will not let them sleep in peace in Gaza! Gaza is ours!”

Daniella Weiss, an extremist Israeli and advocate of illegal settlements, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, an award meant to honour advocates for peace

[Maha Hussaini @MahaGaza]

After the ceasefire agreement in Gaza was announced by mediators earlier this morning, dozens of forcibly expelled Palestinians tried to return to their areas in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip. Israeli occupation forces bombed them.

[حيدر | Haydar @chronicalihere]

Obama dropped a bomb every 8 minutes for 8 years straight. He dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016 alone on 6 different countries. He droned hospitals, weddings, and the funerals for those killed in the weddings. He has no moral conscience to be commentating on war crimes.

Obama not only gave Israel the largest military aid deal in history of $38 billion, but he also facilitated Israel's bombardment of Gaza on multiple occasions.

One of his first acts as president was suppressing the UNHRC's Goldstone Report that documented Israeli war crimes in 2009. This is the length his administration went to protect Israel's public image— threatening an international judge.

In 2014, the last time witnessed any bombardment remotely comparable to such a scale as this genocide; Obama publicly, unapologetically, justified Israel's brutal bombing campaign in Gaza despite the alarming death toll then.

Israel planted explosives in a school for disabled children at dawn today in South Lebanon and blew it up.

Not a military target.

A school for disabled children — perhaps the only one in the country.

In what universe is this considered “self-defense”?

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

"Release the hostages"

Meanwhile Israel takes hundreds more of them, with no charge, this time from the West Bank this evening...

They'll be starved and tortured as has been proven and reported even in Israel where the majority of the public don't care.

[Al Jazeera Breaking News @AJENews]

BREAKING: At least 72 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Strip since dawn today, including 53 in Gaza City, according to medical sources on the ground.

Please consider donating to the security of our Palestinian family. The settlers are enacting violence against them every day and often times the only thing to keep them safe is the cameras that Comet ME is providing for them. Please be part of bearing witness against the brutality of Israeli settlers.

Today Israel told Palestinians to go to a specific place for medical supplies, water and food. Then they bombed it. 13 dead, including seven children. Another child starved to death today. 367 people have starved in Gaza so far, 131 of them children. Never again is about this!

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Israel bombed a hospital.

Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded.

Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV.

Read that again.

Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

[Mohamed Salah @MoSalah]

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

Palestinian involved in Oscar-winning West Bank film shot dead by Israeli settler, director says https://t.co/N721NsWQ3v

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Palestinian self-determination is an inalienable right, not a bargaining chip.

While children starve to death, Keir Starmer refuses to expel the Israeli ambassador, impose full trade sanctions, enforce a full arms embargo or end surveillance flights.

It’s Labour’s genocide too.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

How do Keir Starmer and David Lammy sleep at night?

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

I urge you to watch this documentary which follows two British doctors, Dr Victoria Rose and Dr Tom Potokar, who are in Gaza working in the hospitals.

International journalists cannot get into the strip, so these doctors are helping to broadcast what our news cameras cannot capture.

Important and necessary viewing more than 600 days into the conflict.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”.

They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour.

They were gunned down and murdered instead.

What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

[Ben O'Connor @Ben_2198]

@RupertLowe10 Work 1 day in a hospital and see if you still hold that opinion. Neither you nor the NHS would survive a day without immigrants.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Context that must be included in news reports: The Madleen is a civilian vessel, it is UK-flagged, it is carrying humanitarian aid, everyone on board is unarmed, and it was sailing in international waters.

[Legitimate Targets @LegitTargets]

💔🇵🇸 BREAKING: ISRAEL has now destroyed all 36 HOSPITALS in Gaza, including the al-Shifa Hospital.

[Ben O'Connor @Ben_2198]

@HANKonX No evidence that it was an Islamist attack. Will you be deleting this then?
