For nearly a decade, the Security Council has affirmed that Israeli settlements violate international law.

Yet, Israeli annexation of occupied Palestinian territory persists.

Settler violence continues to escalate. More Palestinian communities are being forced from their homes and their lands.

The obstacle is not lack of law.
The obstacle is political reluctance.
The law is clear.
The facts are overwhelming.
What is missing is action to protect civilians, end forcible displacement, and uphold international humanitarian law.

Yesterday, my colleague @EpshtainItay briefed the UN Security Council on behalf of @NRC_Norway

He discussed the impact of Israel’s expanding settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and called on the Council to apply the law and hold Israel accountable for its violations, and take action to end Israel’s unlawful presence in the occupied Palestinian territory.

De Europese belastingbetaler heeft tot op heden geen compensatie ontvangen voor de schade die Israël heeft toegebracht aan door de EU gefinancierde projecten in de bezette Palestijnse gebieden. Nederland noemt die verliezen ‘vertrouwelijk’. https://t.co/2O1X5HjBCy

Remember when everyone was kicking off over climate activists being falsely accused of blocking ambulances, even though they had a policy of letting them through?

People were making up hypothetical scenarios like, “What if your nan was having a heart attack and she was in that ambulance?”

“It was clear that the Shiite villages along the contact line had to disappear”

Israeli officials openly talk about ethnically cleansing southern Lebanon while Israel’s defenders deny it.

Dit komt toch echt van de ‘Israëlische’ mensenrechtenorganisatie B’Tselem. Palestijnse kinderen worden doelbewust onder vuur genomen. https://t.co/t2e44FXjoP

AIPAC has taken over CPJ, to legitimize Israel's mass-murder of journalists.

Don't fall for Elon Musk's gaslighting.

There is a massive, life-or-death difference between well-planned budget cuts and a sudden, reckless halt to promised medical aid.

Musk is actively lying about the fatal consequences of his USAID cuts. The US is not obligated to fund healthcare for the entire planet, but if a nation decides to pull back its global aid, it must be done responsibly. Ripping away funding mid-treatment means you are directly responsible for the preventable deaths that follow.

Instead of owning up to the fallout, Musk is flooding X with dishonest spin. He first challenged critics to name even one person whose death he caused. When people actually did, he immediately moved the goalposts, claiming that any spending cut inevitably causes deaths.

He is a dishonest charlatan trying to hide the fact that his chaotic decisions got thousands of vulnerable children and adults killed. That will be his lasting legacy

The missile, an autonomous entity, was on its on way when it found the patrons, who weren't civilians otherwise they would have been called that. No one fired it. The news event was the disruption of the World Cup and not the ending of their lives through slaughter.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Elon challenged everyone to name someone who was killed by his DOGE cuts to USAID. Nicholas Kristof, who did the study, accepted the challenge.

Instead of explaining why Kristof was incorrect, he responded with personal abuse.

He is clearly rattled.

🚨The Irish Government said on 10 June that the Aughinish Alumina report would be ready before the end of the month at most.

Tomorrow is the end of the month.

Can I please get one loud NAFO boost for this post to remind all of this promise.

[Claudio Francavilla @ClaFrancavilla]

The EU has spent decades sharing “concerns” over Israel’s illegal settlements and related abuses.

It should at least stop bankrolling them.

And that’s not an “option”, @vonderleyen; it's an obligation: https://t.co/VQ59mPa30g

It looks inevitable that @maxschrems will be successful in challenging the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (#DPF), which is meant to legitimize the transfer 🇪🇺 personal data to 🇺🇸. This is used by all major US tech players, from cloud providers to social media companies and messaging service providers.
According to the @USSupremeCourt, it is unconstitutional for executive bodies (such as the FTC and DPRC) to be independent. This means that 🇪🇺 and 🇺🇸 law are incompatible even at the constitutional level, as the #DPF is built on such independence. Full details:
https://t.co/iJFUZZJLGL
#SchremsIII would mean that, for the third time (after #SafeHarbor and #PrivacyShield which were thrown out after #SchremsI and #SchremsII), transfers of European personal data to the US will have taken place for years without sound legal basis, while providing legal cover for organizations engaging in such transfers.
What's worse is that the @EU_Commission knew this would be the case before the #DPF was even in force: the @Europarl_EN voted a resolution with overwhelming majority in which they said exactly that (https://t.co/XI63aFKLtI). But the EC, under @vonderleyen and Commissioner for Justice @dreynders (well known for his luck on the lottery), ignored it.
@MaxSchrems from #nyob is now formally requesting the EC to repeal the #DPF. The trouble is: the EC can simply ignore this, and keep it in force despite it being unconstitutional. Thus, he is simultaneously starting a lawsuit at the @EUCourtPress to annul it, but that will take years to conclude...
You will be forgiven for wondering if @vonderleyen and co work for European or for American interests.
