Migrant Roots Media

Uplifting the voices of migrants around the world to shift narratives on root causes of migration. #WeTellOurOwnStories

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

GHF belongs to The Hague. UN independent experts have long called for its closure. States, the UN, and humanitarian actors must absolutely stay clear and avoid any cooperation, as involvement risks entangling them in legal and moral responsibility.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Also: time to end the colonial attitude of countries who sit and ‘dispose’ reconstruction. The EU will be among those owing REPARATIONS to the Palestinian people, who will decide how to rebuild Gaza and everything Israel has destroyed -without white saviorism hovering over them.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Hard to applaud this statement: too little, too late, intolerably insufficient under int’l law. EU states must ▶️impose a full arms embargo ▶️suspend trade (incl. @HorizonEU) ▶️prosecute alleged criminals and ▶️send a fleet to break the siege. Nothing less.

Once again, the US and Israel are isolated on the world stage, as the UN General Assembly votes overwhelmingly to convene an international conference on Palestine in June 2025, and demands an immediate cessation of all military attacks and an end to Israel’s unlawful occupation.

NOW—Scores of people here in Hart Senate Building in DC, calling on senators to support Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block weapon sales to Israel.

Am told members of faith groups, moms, healthcare workers, educators, students, veterans are here.

Police snatching banners.

Amid continued inaction from the Biden admin to hold Israel accountable, ensure aid access to #Gaza, and protect civilians, Congress MUST step up and halt all further offensive military support to Israel now.

Tomorrow, Congress will vote on a bill that would grant Trump unprecedented power to shut down nonprofit organizations.

Congress has not authorized the US military to engage in the Israeli government’s expanding regional war, as required by the Constitution. We’re sending a letter to @POTUS requiring a detailed account of US involvement with Israeli forces in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and Syria.

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

Palestinians in northern Gaza are being rounded up and forced at gunpoint to move south on "death marches."

Meanwhile, in Israel, politicians and media outlets are "celebrating the footage of these death marches with utmost glee and utmost joy," says @muhammadshehad2.

BREAKING:

Israel is carpet bombing Tyre in South Lebanon, an ancient city with over 5,000 years of history and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Tyre, a cradle of civilization that predates most nations is being systematically bombed by Israel, yet the world watches in silence.

[Paweł Wargan @pawelwargan]

This is what it looks like when masses of people are transported to concentration and torture camps in the 21st century. Will the people behind the wheel one day claim that they were 'just drivers'?

[Sarah Leah Whitson @sarahleah1]

It's 2024, but some in the US are still stuck in 1904, thinking the Middle East is just a bunch of territory we get to carve up and give away as we see fit. Incredible.

🇵🇸 On Monday October 7th Flood New York City For Palestine, stand with Gaza and uplift the Palestinian people resisting genocide by any means necessary since 1948. Call out of work and school, take to the streets and join us throughout the day 🌊

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

Israeli forces shooting an American came the same day the US announced it would continue to provide aid to a military unit accused of several human rights violations, including killing a 78-year-old Palestinian-American
