In a joint briefing with international lawyers and legal experts, hosted by embassies of 🇯🇴 and 🇵🇸 in London, I told the audience that while reaching an immediate #CeasefireInGazaNOW is the first priority to stop the atrocities, pursuing war criminals and hold them to account is the only way to ensure that Israel’s savagery in Gaza and all over Palestine will never happen again!
There is an acronym specific to Gaza, coined in the last three weeks. WCNSF: Wounded Child No Surviving Family. A pediatrician with Doctors Without Borders: "The worst humanitarian catastrophe I've experienced." https://t.co/RmXWEUpa2N
I'm not voting for anyone who supports Israel or Zionists. I'd rather see this country fall apart and reverse ALL OF ITS PROGRESS. If our reps we voted for don't care about Palestinians and children, we don't care about NATO or any other thing. Call it privilege idgaf.
Shocking headline by @TheEconomist. There are more than 9,000 Palestinian civilians killed, among them nearly 4,000 children. One million people are displaced and 2.3 million people are now cut off from food, water, fuel, electricity and medical supplies. And this magazine wants more? This is not journalism, this is pure racism. Palestinian lives clearly do not matter to the ‘writers’
The argument that Afghan refugees are a burden on the economy is ridiculous. Burden on the economy are the elites who receive $17.4 billion in annual subsidies, not refugees doing the hardest jobs. Out state is unable to challenge mafias but is using Afghans as a distraction.
How the fuck was none of it enough. How the fuck was them showing the world pictures of their children's limbs in plastic bags not enough? How was a 200+ page long list of the dead not enough? How was them holding a press conference surrounded by dead bodies not enough?
Think about this for a minute: the pm of a nuclear armed nation has invoked religious prophecy about 'cleansing the land and bringing about the end of the world' and no one cares! Now imagine if a Muslim leader said even half of this. Everyone would lose their minds!
What sets us apart from the terrorists is we believe in the fundamental dignity of every human life.
Israeli.
Palestinian.
Arab.
Jew.
Muslim.
Christian.
If we give that up – the terrorists win.
And we can never let them win.
In response to all the ‘Hamza’ slander that brings the funniest and savage memes around the world- it is a HUMZA in Scotland who is setting the right example for world leader. PAY ATTENTION EVERYONE. The Humza’s are coming back to reclaim their name.
The people of Gaza are a proud people.
Many don't want to leave, and shouldn't have to.
But for those displaced, who want to leave, there should be a worldwide refugee scheme.
Scotland is willing to be a place of sanctuary and be the first country to take those refugees.
So is this one of those surprise emails that have a gift box and when I click it it’ll tell me which side my tax money will go to based on my demographic? Like
‘Yay congrats Isra Arif! Your tax $$ are going to humanity in Gaza! Go have an iced coffee, you deserve it girl!’
I just announced $100 million for humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the West Bank.
This money will support over 1 million displaced and conflict-affected Palestinians.
And we will have mechanisms in place so this aid reaches those in need – not Hamas or terrorist groups.
Listen man - do you a favor ? I’ve known you a long time … do I look like a fucking rube ? Don’t lecture me on morals - yr gonna loose .
I’ll give you the respect you didn’t give me - Of course I want the hostages released - I’ve been calling on saving Jewish and Palestinian lives - for 10 days . I’ve been calling for a fucking cease fire for 10 days - BIBI is INSANE - and SANE people can support Israel - ( and the 70 % of Israel that wants him gone ) - and not the people in Israel that want to “ flatten the place “and calls Palestinians animals and speaks in genocidal language to match the 6000 fucking bombs dropped on Palestinians the last ten days -
A thousand kids slaughtered - THAT
AIN’T HELPING THE HOSTAGES . Hamas is not Palestine - they are just the guys who run the prison - Oh yeah and Hamas is who bibi wanted in charge - see -cause he doesn’t want a two state solution . ) Got it you fucking clown ?
Even before the hospital bombing - this was totally out of control -
Hamas is evil - I’ve said that for 10 fucking days -
or however long this nightmares been going -
Nothing can excuse matching Hamas war crimes with Israeli war crimes - and you know who else are hostages of Hamas ( and Israel ) ? innocent Palestinians who just want to live - like Israelis do - half of Gaza is 15 years old - so born two years after last election Mike - an election from an open air prison - like Atticca , you remember the Pacino movie , right Mike ?
Aren’t those kids also “ hostages “ Or are they just hostages that don’t matter ? Are they all “terrorists “ - the president said as much - so if YOU want to help the hostages ( in my view the entire place is held hostage )
- call for Israel to stop the killing - Then you can get the hostages out - how many more bombs dropped is acceptable ?
HEY MICHAEL DO HUMANITY A FAVOR - ( I don’t need any favors bubbah) YOU. use your voice to call for a cease fire - you know just take a break for a day or two - to at least have a chance to the hostages out ? Tell bibi to stop the killing and get them out - not me .
Here’s an idea -
YOU USE YR FOCUSED VOICE TO CALL FOR A CEASE FIRE TO FREE EVERYONE . Including the hostages - because it sounds like you don’t think all lives matter and I do .
And I’m not playing a fucking game so cut the condescending bullshit towards people who are serious about justice .
Stop - ☝️
Don’t tell me to condemn Hamas ,again - or how to focus my voice - you fucking fool.
I want everyone to stop killing and dying .
- I’ll leave you with a thought -
how THE FUCK is anyone gonna get the hostages back when whole city blocks are being leveled - and bibi is talking genocidal insanity ? While grieving. fathers ( just like grieving Israeli fathers ) are picking up their children’s body parts ?
We good 👍 ?
"What about those Palestinians who are in hospital on life support & babies in incubators that will have to be turned off because Israelis have cut the power to Gaza?"
Ex Israeli PM Naftali Bennett: ""Are you seriously asking me about Palestinian civilians? Whats wrong wth you?"
Over the last week I’ve engaged privately with Jewish and Palestinian loved ones about what is going on, something I don’t have the language or capacity to do publicly. On social media I’ll do what I’ve done all of my life: support Palestinian civilians who are suffering.
Buckle in, New York. Flash-flood phone alerts went off this morning after most people had already left for work and school, the MTA is warning of “major disruptions," and the day has just started.
Head to @curbed for more scenes from the flood: https://t.co/hFYYnzY6u3
