How genocide happened

[Antifa_Ultras @ultras_antifaa]

Global Sumud Flotilla activist Sena Polat refused to sign a document stating “I entered Israel without permission, I accept to be deported,” and therefore has not been released.

Sena Polat has started a hunger strike in the prison where she is being held unlawfully.

We stand in solidarity with this brave woman.

First words from Tadhg Hickey as he returns home to Ireland after being kidnapped and illegally detained by the occupying forces. We pray for the release of all Palestinian Men, Women and Children being illegally detained.

Greta Thunberg Respond To Trump Statement On Her:

[Censored Humans @CensoredHumans]

Greta Thunberg in Greece:

I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.

Israel is escalating genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an entire population in front of our eyes.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Greta Thunberg:

‘There is a genocide’
‘Where is the world media to expose it’
‘Where is media to call out Palestinian 🇵🇸 journalists being murdered’
‘World leaders and institutions are enabling a genocide’

‘None of us are free until Palestine🇵🇸 is free’

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

This is what western states call the only democracy of the Middle East. Torturers through and through.

Cut ties with Israel now.
Break the blockade NOW.
End genocide, illegal occupation and apartheid.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

"Labeling the nearly 250,000 people currently trapped in #Gaza City & the north as “terrorists or terror supporters” by the Government of #Israel is a statement suggesting planned large-scale massacres: killing more women, children, elderly & vulnerable people unable to move out.

No one has the license to kill civilians.

Ongoing international crimes in Gaza cannot continue to be implicitly tolerated. 

More inaction will lead to more complicity to what the UN Commission of Inquiry has already concluded is genocide.

Time to act

#CeasefireNow
large-scale

baby formula sinking to the bottom of the ocean in international waters 60 nautical miles from the site of mass starvation. this shames the world

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

I write as former Head of Maritime Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
and Alternate Head of UK Delegation to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea Prepcom.

1) The flotilla is on the High Seas and not in Israel's 12 mile territorial sea. Israel has no jurisdiction.

2) The Israeli maritime blockade has been in place for 17 years and is an intrinsic part of the long term occupation found illegal in the ICJ advisory opinion

3) It is therefore not a short term measure in time of armed conflict as specified in the San Remo manual

4) In any event the San Remo rules explicitly state that humanitarian supplies may not be blockaded

5) The UN Commission of Inquiry has already determined that Israel is committing genocide. The blockade is plainly a part of the machinery of such genocide.

For reasons 1 to 5 the Israeli attack on the flotilla is plainly illegal.

6) On the High Seas, the law applying on each ship is the law of its flag state. An attack by a state military warship on a vessel on the High Seas is an attack on the flag state of the vessel attacked.

7) Acts of illegal possession of vessels or abduction of crew on the High Seas should be pursued by each flag state as crimes within their domestic jurisdiction, not only in international law.

8) So the Metropolitan Police and DPP have an obligation to investigate and act over the abduction of persons from UK flagged vessels on the High Seas.
This applies to each flag state mutatis mutandi.

I hope you find this helpful.

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

We are literally witnessing a live-streamed mass kidnapping of 497 PEOPLE from 46 COUNTRIES by Israel in international waters

I feel like I’m losing my mind! The world has gone mad

World leaders - Israel is abducting YOUR OWN citizens right now! WHERE THE F*** ARE YOU?!

[Adrian Zahir⚡ @ForwardsMarch]

IMAGINE SENDING 20 WARSHIPS TO INTERCEPT BOATS CARRYING MILK POWDER AND BABY FORMULA FOR STARVING CHILDREN. THIS IS THE GREATEST EVIL EXISTING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW!!!!!

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

It says something when 467 citizens from 46 countries can be illegally taken into custody from International Waters and the worldwide media say nothing, absolutely nothing at all.

Radio silence.

And we all know why.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

UNICEF Spox @1james_elder is back in Gaza and says the violence is worse than ever.

A horror show, paid for with US tax dollars.
