Israel needs to be stopped. The West must stop selling weapons and backing this extreme right government. What is happening in Gaza is unspeakable and will haunt each of us for the rest of our lives.
Generations of Israelis will have to live with what we have done in Gaza over the last year. Some will have to explain why they didn't refuse to bomb. Others will have to explain why they didn't do more to stop the horror.

My @Channel4News report on Israel’s relentless pounding of northern Gaza. It took a remarkably brave and persistent cameraman to get these pictures out to us. The world cannot say that it didn’t see. Or know. https://t.co/6NY4bDjw8l
Gaza: In the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century, 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 European weapons. And amid the indifference of all "civilised nations".
May the Palestinians forgive us for our collective inability to protect them, honoring the most basic meaning of intl law.
Historic day for intl justice & the #decolonisation of Palestine.
The supreme judicial organ of the UN has confirmed what the Palestinians, some liberated Israelis, serious legal sholarship & the human rights community worldwide have steadily denounced:
Israel's 57yo occupation is UNLAWFUL, nothing concerning it should be considered as legal by member states & UN agencies alike and Israel must dismantle it at once, together with its illegal settlement enterprise, the apartheid that has sustained it and also offer reparations to the Palestinians.
And now, let's apply intl law, starting with stopping the #genocide the unlawful occupier is committing, imposing sanctions on it & ensuring immediate #protection of the Palestinians under its rule.
Poliovirus is now in Gaza, due to Israel's destruction of sanitation facilities and denial of clean water to the civilian population. These are war crimes. Israel knew this would happen and polio must be understood as an intended result. https://t.co/RNko7FH8PY
It’s bizarre hearing so many people asking why the weather is so weird these days. Which part of ‘we are changing the climate’ have people not heard for the last 40 years?
"Buildings are skeletons. It's haunting. Any home still standing has entire walls missing - you can see into previous lives, frozen in time" @UNWateridge
Scenes of total devastation driving through #Gaza City today, +70% of homes across #GazaStrip have been damaged or destroyed.
Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions.
Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.
@WikiZong@azvollan@Antonio_lorca_ Thank you Weijian, it would be great to collaborate in the future, and a visit to Norwegian Fjords is definitely on the list! Let’s keep in touch.
Famine in Gaza is not a natural disaster. It's a political choice. Outrageous, yes. But also criminal: deliberately depriving 2.3ML Palestinians of resources crucial for survival reflects an intent to inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction
Gaza is facing famine. According to @theIPCinfo, 100% of people are acutely food insecure; in the North, 70% are facing famine. Hunger can’t be used as a weapon of war.
W/ @JanezLenarcic, we urge Israel to allow free, unimpeded, safe humanitarian access.

Famine in the northern part of Gaza is imminent.
1.1 million people in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger - the highest number of people ever recorded –anywhere, anytime.
This is an entirely manmade disaster.
And it can - and must - be halted.
Finally a powerful coverage of the Israeli onslaught by @CNN.
Think about how many of the 30K+ Palestinians killed could have been saved, had this been the standard of coverage by western media in the past five months.
Around 17,000 children in #Gaza are orphaned.
1 in 6 children under 2 yrs is acutely malnourished in the north.
Babies slowly perishing under the world’s gaze
Children dying from bombs, even more now dying from consequences of siege. These horrific deaths entirely preventable.
@faniaoz And that’s what most of the world demands. We’re with you in wanting hostages back and crying for the Israeli victims. But we can’t watch 1000s of Palestinians dying under the bombs and of hunger without shouting against the responsible.
