A conscience of the world today @FranceskAlbs
Inspiring millions, reminding us international law & #HumanRights is either *equally* applied or it means nothing. We The People really *are* the difference, as history has shown throughout.

“Stop waiting.

Organize. Protest. Demand more from your representatives.

Disrupt. Strike. Boycott.

Speak out.

Relinquish an inch of your privilege so that an entire people doesn't have to lose everything. And do not fear.”

🇺🇸🇮🇱ISRAEL hired a Hollywood producer to INFLUENCE AMERICANS online.

Daniel Rosenberg, producer of Spike Lee’s “Inside Man,” signed a $900,000 contract to produce pro Israel social media content targeting the U.S. public.

His firm, Piro, is set to hire a director and CAST actors for the campaign.

Like many other Israel linked FARA contracts, payments are reportedly routed through Havas.

The listed point person is Eran Shayovich, Chief of Staff at Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Israel has once again cut off all aid to Gaza and closed all crossings into the strip, intensifying its genocidal blockade as the population faces widespread disease and malnutrition.

The move, announced by the Israeli military’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (Cogat), comes after Iran launched missiles at Israel on Sunday in retaliation for its strikes against Lebanon.

Israel has repeatedly violated its ceasefire agreements with Hamas and Hezbollah, killing hundreds in both Gaza and Lebanon in recent months as it seizes control of more land.

The apartheid state last cut off all entry to Gaza in late February following the outbreak of the US and Israel’s illegal war on Iran.

Hamas and Hezbollah form part of the ‘axis of resistance’, an informal Iran-backed coalition of groups fighting Israel. Israel frequently targets the civilian populations in areas where axis members operate.

Cogat said in a post on X on Monday that crossings into Gaza would be closed “until further notice”. It falsely claimed the move “will not affect the humanitarian situation” in Gaza.

It added: “The substantial quantities of food that have entered the strip since the beginning of the ceasefire significantly exceed the nutritional needs of the population.”

With Germanys failure to get elected to the United Nations Security Council, this brilliant address by Slovenia, Spain, and Belgiums action in Europe and the weakening of the US/Israeli military by their defeat in Iran, there is real hope that US/Israeli global terrorism may finally be addressed.

Alongside @weizman_eyal, I won't participate in the #HayFestival because of @Airbnb being their main sponsor. Profiting from illegal settlements, advertising properties built on stolen land makes Airbnb not ''just a sponsor''.

We must stop normalising Apartheid with a click!

Presidente Meloni,
bene condannare Ben Gvir per l’umiliazione dei membri della Flotilla (un trattamento di lusso rispetto a quanto inferto ai palestinesi nelle carceri israeliane).
Ma le parole non bastano: l’Italia smetta di opporsi alla sospensione dell’Accordo UE-Israele.

Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir released a video showing detained participants of the intercepted Gaza-bound flotilla being bound and dragged in Israel's Ashdod Port, writing, "That's how we welcome the terror supporters. Welcome to Israel."

Huge Jewish Bloc for Palestine at #Nakbah London

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

US requesting Israel to divert Palestinian tax money into the 'Gaza plan' is triply unlawful:
-withholding is illegal
-the diversion would amount to unlawful appropriation
-the Gaza plan is the burial of Palestinian self-determination.

This must stop
Palestine is not for pillage

🇩🇪What happened to German legal scholars who once contributed to develop int’l law? Where are the think tanks/foundations that once drove debates on justice?

Right now, Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos is at the Nakba Day demonstration in London. The 88-year-old has attended almost every demonstration in the last two year’s protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Stephen stands and sits with family and members of his group the ‘Holocaust Survivors & Descendants Against the Genocide in Gaza’.

He told us:

"Today, we commemorate not only the 1948 violent displacement and dispossession of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs during the creation of the State of Israel. But the unlawful occupation of Palestinian land and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.”

“Justice for the Palestinians must be demanded and fought for by peoples of the world to force their own governments to act to end Israel's genocide, occupation and apartheid.”

“That is why these marches have been attacked so much – it is the threat we pose to injustice. And the symbol of solidarity and hope we represent.”

Mehdi Hasan asked an Israeli lawyer if he was shocked by the NYT's piece on Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian detainees.

His answer? 'Of course not.'

Not because it's false. Because it's old news. Al Jazeera reported it in 2024. He testified about it in 2025. B'Tselem issued reports. Even Israel's own public defender wrote about the torture.

Rape by dogs. Women shackled to metal tables for two days. Men raped three times-after being hospitalized. Children threatened with sexual abuse.

Palestinians have been saying this for years. So what's new? Nothing. Except the New York Times finally published it.

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

It is deeply disappointing to see a UK government that pledged to remain committed to the European Convention on Human Rights now supporting efforts to weaken protections for refugees and migrants.

Because governments across Europe feel politically threatened by rising populism, they’re willing to attack the vital principles that rights apply to everyone at all times, no matter who we are.

Attempts to pressure courts into interpreting human rights protections in ways more politically convenient to Governments risk undermining respect for the rule of law.

Human rights protections exist precisely for moments like this, when fear, political pressure and scapegoating are at their height.

Weakening protections for some of the most vulnerable people in Europe will not reduce the need for people to seek safety or make societies fairer or safer.

It risks fuelling a damaging race to the bottom while handing victories to those who will never be satisfied until the UK leaves the Convention altogether.

When the US sanctioned me for exposing corporate complicity, I trusted people would act. If after nearly a year @bookingcom & @Airbnb still profit from stolen Palestinian property, it’s because too many still use them.

Stop using them now & tell them why.

I have tabled the following amendment to the King’s Speech to defend two foundational liberties: the right to trial by jury & the right to access public services without digital ID. Ancient safeguards against arbitrary power must not be surrendered without mandate or consent.

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

The failure of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to suspend Israel from Eurovision, as it did with Russia, is an act of cowardice and an illustration of blatant double standards when it comes to Israel.

Decisions and opinions by international courts, and resolutions by the United Nations General Assembly and the United Nations Security Council, over the last decades, have repeatedly condemned Israel for its multiple and egregious violations.

Songs and sequins must not be allowed to drown out or distract from Israel’s atrocities or Palestinian suffering.

There should be no stage for Israel at Eurovision while there is an ongoing genocide.

Israel's impunity can no longer be tolerated, and people everywhere must act in accordance with their conscience and stand up for human rights.
