[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Why a father needs to endure this?

And it did not start 13 months ago. While the violence against the Palestinians has since then escalated at unprecedented fast pace, Israel has globally killed, maimed, made orphans and homeless, kidnapped and held hostage, tortured and raped, tormented and persecuted millions of Palestinians since its inception as a State and more forcefully since 1967.

Palestinians are a nation of Nakba survivors, who have never ceded sovereignty over their land, and who have been forced to live with, or at the conditions set by, their oppressor for decades.

May the current tragedy lead to much needed reckoning with the Past and Justice.

“I run for Palestine to represent something bigger than myself, the resilience of the Palestinian people, to bring voices to the voiceless.”

The #Mosque in Hartlepool that was attacked by far right thugs.
Last year it gave £25k to the British Legion through the sale of poppies
Cooked over 25k meals for people in Hartlepool who were hungry
Anybody got a list of what the far right thugs have done for their communities?

"He was eating bread when Israeli army fired 3 rockets at a refugee school. They didn’t give him a chance to finish his meal ,it fell from his hand
They killed him! A bite soaked in blood."

This is a child's testimony about the Israeli army's massacre in central #Gaza

While gazans are facing famine - this is unconscionable.

BREAKING: Israel is opening fire on UN vehicles in Rafah, deliberately targeting humanitarian workers.

“Most moral army in the universe.”

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

When you see Israeli 🇮🇱 settlers destroying aid meant for Gaza 🇵🇸, remember it’s in secured zones with the Israeli 🇮🇱 army standing by.

Whether it’s:

Defunding UNRWA
Blocking aid
Flour massacres
Murdering aid workers

It’s state terrorism
It’s genocide.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Today a @UN vehicle was struck in Gaza, killing one of our colleagues & injuring another.
More than 190 UN staff have been killed in Gaza.
Humanitarian workers must be protected.
I condemn all attacks on UN personnel and reiterate my urgent appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire & the release of all hostages.

Don't look away.

The children they stole these toys from will have been driven from largely destroyed homes.

Many will be maimed. Many will have lost loved ones. Some will be killed.

All survivors will be traumatised for life.

Look at the joy on the faces of the soldiers who did all that.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

To be very clear here:

If someone has their hands tied behind their backs, regardless of whether they were a combatant or not, they are classed as “hors de combat”.

Under the Geneva Convention, they are non-combatants and protected people, and it’s a war crime to kill them

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Unlike Iran's attack on Israel, which killed no-one, there won't be wall to wall outrage over the Israeli killing of 11 Palestinian kids, as there's been a lack of outrage over over 14,000 kids being slaughtered.

Why?

Because Palestinian life is considered worthless.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel fired a missile into a group of children in a playground.

11 children have been killed.

A group of children in a playground.

Where is the International Criminal Court?

Devastating

[sarah @sahouraxo]

British surgeon in Gaza explains how Israel burns Palestinian children down to their bones and leaves them to die on the hospital floor in agony because there aren’t any painkillers.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is extremely hard to watch, but we have a responsibility to do so.

This is footage of the Israeli state clearly murdering civilians who pose no threat, like it's a twisted computer game.

Your government is complicit in this. We have to speak out.

Don't look away

[laura Smith @lauraSmITH0ff]

I remember a few months ago when my feed was full of Gazan scholars and journalists urgently commenting and reporting on the slaughter. Now many of them are dead, or have been driven out. Pictures of dead children and devastation still come through, but surrounded by silence.
