Remembering healthcare workers on the frontline to provide a glimmer of hope in the significant ruling of the ICJ that "Israel must ensure with IMMEDIATE effect that its military forces do not comit offences within scope of Article II of this Convention; acts of genocidal intent.
Before moving to #Bluesky- it's good to thank @ymcans presenting their amazing work providing not just accommodation but a campus of care, support and opportunity to 250 young people in Stoke for our @KeeleUniversity#SocialJustice students to question the gaps in society 🙋🏻♀️
@SBSisters Thank you @SBSisters for your ongoing work which has informed @sophiaoc's research to highlight the daily impact of NRPF to join the call on govt to abolish NRPF 🙋🏻♀️
With the outpouring horror in Gaza, one doesn't need to be a medical professional to empathize with these doctors' feelings. Enraged at the incessant brutality used against defenseless civilians. Offended at the flimsy justifications made up to cover for int'l crimes. Incapable to hear anyone's excuses anymore. Desperate for change, and accountability.
After 10 catastrophic months, the leaders of three western States - all permanent members of the #UNSC -, write a 21 lines statement on the Middle East and not a single word about the MILLIONS scarred by the ongoing atrocities and forcibly displaced over and over. Not a single word about the dozen thousand killed, maimed, tortured, orphaned. Not a single word about the 16,000 children exterminated amid the full-scale destruction of the ghetto they had lived in. Not a single word about the need to ensure justice and respect for int'l law to build sustainable peace.
Hard to think of a more infelicituous choice of words, written and omitted.
US funding of Israeli #Genocide is ballooning as the Israeli army uses ever more lethal bombs. The ones used yesterday in the #AlTabinSchool massacre sliced bodies to the point of making them unrecognizable. They are now identified by weight: 70kg bag = 1 adult. Revolting.
USA missiles that see temperatures reach up to 7000 degrees celsius were used in the Israeli dawn massacre at Al-Tabi'in School.
Literally leading to the burning of the victims’ bodies.
Netanyahu is a monster.
It’s a genocide.
Arms embargo now.
The Hague now.
We're devastated by the news of this deadly attack on a school in #Gaza.
Even wars have laws, and schools must not be used as battlegrounds.
We need a definitive ceasefire now.
“Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one ‘safe zone’ at the time. With US and EU weapons. And amid the indifference of all ‘civilized nations’.”
—UN Special Rapporteur
There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children.
Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.
@chantellelunt Yesterday you posted so clearly that this is a National Emergency when you were focusing on all the children - I'm outraged and devastated your son has been targeted by such abhorrent racist violence. It is time for the Government to uphold the laws civil society has fought for.
Thankful to have seen @NorSCARF members stand up to racism and fascism for decades in Stoke-on-Trent - never expected it to raise its ugly head so blatently but thankful to our beautiful people for putting it to rest 💜

BREAKING :
The UN accuses Israel of committing EXTERMINATION in Gaza.
EXTERMINATION.
Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.
“Israel is responsible for extermination, murder, using starvation as a method of war..”
—The UN Human Rights Council
"Israel cannot lawfully demand concessions on Palestinian rights as a precondition for ending the occupation. Palestinian right to self-determination is a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e. Occupation is existentially illegal and must end I-m-m-e-d-i-a-t-e-l-y." So proud of @RalphWilde.
