How can the U.S. condemn Russia’s bombing of civilians in Ukraine as a war crime but fund Netanyahu’s war machine, which has killed thousands?
How can we criticize the human rights of Iran & China, but ignore the human rights of the Palestinian people?

“today he learned that the children of friends of his in Gaza died of starvation…Shame on us. Shame on the world. Shame on the Israeli Government, which has been ordered by the ICJ to provide more and easier aid, shame on the United States” https://t.co/f8eX0hh5SY
There is so much anger, hate & noise in our world today. Every day & at every turn, it seems – it’s war.
Around the globe & across the range of issues, peace is the missing piece.
People want peace & security.
They want peace & dignity.
They want peace & quiet.

In Port-au-Prince, Haiti, a new outbreak of violence btw rival armed groups is affecting Cité Soleil neighborhoods w/ several hundred thousand residents.
Since Nov. 13, we've treated 50+ ppl in Cité Soleil, but the conflict has severely reduced medical care in the area.

#Gaza’s communication services shut down due to the depletion of fuel used for generators.
This disruption is impacting humanitarian operations, hindering desperately needed aid efforts.
We urgently need fuel to deliver life-saving assistance.
Honest concern for others is the key factor in improving our day to day lives. When you’re warm-hearted, there is no room for anger, jealousy or insecurity. A calm mind and self-confidence are the basis for happy and peaceful relations with each other.
They told them go south and bombed them on the way. They told them carry white flags then shot them on the way out. The death of the son. The guilt of the father. The trauma of the brother. The genocide of Gaza.
The director of al Shifa hospital in Gaza told al Jazeera:
—22 ICU patients died overnight. He said the hospital “lost all those who were in the intensive care unit.”
—There are 7,000 people still in the hospital.
—Dead bodies are piling up, morgue is full and no refrigerator trucks.
—Disputed claim that Israel provided incubators and said the hospital already has incubators but needs fuel for generators to power them.
—Hospital staff appealed to Israeli forces to leave the hospital and were denied. He said the hospital has become a “big prison.”
Many experts believe Israel’s self-defence case is weak because the besieged Gaza Strip has in effect been under Israeli control https://t.co/maUidl7vuh
Senior adviser to Netanyahu won't acknowledge Israel has killed any children in Gaza. More than 4500 children have been killed since Israel began its bombing and ground operations. And, by the way, those numbers have not been updated for days.
Israel has unapologetically bombed hospitals, mosques, churches, schools, shelters, and refugee camps.
Cut off water, food, fuel, power, and communications to a starving population of over 2 million people.
Used white phosphorus bombs and American supplied hellfire missiles that cut through humans like meat.
All of this on film. Death toll in the thousands. And you still have politicians justifying this. Remember that Palestinians have been living under this monstrous for 75 years. It must end once and for all.
Ceasefire now.
Cease-genocide now.
Hold war criminals accountable now.
"We have just witnessed over the last few weeks the largest displacement of Palestinians since 1948.
It's an exodus under our watch, a river of people being forced to flee their home."

"If you bomb an entire refugee camp with the intention of eliminating a terrorist, I don’t think it’s proportionate." -- Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo's message to Israel regarding Gaza. https://t.co/TEsCazA8Mt
The crisis in Gaza is growing. Israeli airstrikes are destroying residential buildings and public infrastructure. Restrictions on humanitarian aid make life even harder. Stop the bombing NOW.
