Brick by brick, the walls of the Zionist colony are being torn down — by students, musicians, and protestors.
TODAY EDINBURGH STUDENTS FROM WALK OUT EN MASSE FROM MORNING GRADUATION.
The personal attacks on @GretaThunberg & others aboard the #Madleen are beyond the pale. These are ordinary people stepping up where States continue to fail, risking everything to defend human rights —breaking the siege on Gaza.
And while many are at work to have the unlawfully seized #Madleen released to continue sailing toward Gaza, here comes the #SumudConvoy.
From my beloved TUNISIA, with some 7000+ from across the Maghreb registered to join. Meeting up with the #March2Gaza in Cairo on 12 June. Together, they’ll head to Rafah.
United, we can make it. United, we will (human rights are for all—or they are for none). #BreakTheSiege
As the Madleen was reportedly intercepted and seized by Israeli forces in int'l waters, the UK gov must urgently seek full clarification and secure the immediate release of the vessel & its crew.
The Madleen must be allowed to continue its lawful humanitarian mission to Gaza.
Gaza freedom flotilla ship Madleen, due to enter Palestinian waters at around 2am local time Monday, has been intercepted by Israeli vessels and quadcopter drones in international waters. The ship has been sprayed with an unknown substance; crew are reporting the ship is being boarded.
"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."
BREAKING!!! - 11:18PM UK time; I am with the flotilla online. They have just been reached by the Israel speedboats - 5 vessels circling the flotilla. The captain is instructing the team to stay calm and seated, with their passports and life jackets on. I hear them speaking with Israeli soldiers as I type... telling they are carrying humanitarian aid and go in peace. For the time being they are just circled. I am with them, recording everything.
Oops! Trump just humiliated another visiting leader, carelessly confirming in front of Germany's chancellor that the US did the Nord Stream terrorist bombing that destroyed Germany's industrial base.
It was always obvious that the Israeli army massacred Palestinians waiting for aid.
They've done this over and over again, then lied about it.
But the Western media treat those lies as credible, deflecting responsibility - and the rebuttal arrives when attention has moved on.
This Friday, demand to lift the ban on our protest and tell @DavidLammy to Stop arming Israel and Expel the Israeli ambassador @TzipiHotovely. After our protest we will join the daily vigil in support of hunger striker Dr Laila Soueif at St-Thomas hospital. @FreedomForAlaa
This evening, hours after Corbyn presented his Bill for an inquiry into UK and Gaza…
A US military plane—used by special forces—flew from RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus to Tel Aviv
Soon after, Starmer sent a spy plane from same base to collect intel over Gaza for Israel
In air now
@ariffidanci@Kim_Jun90@AdameMedia Here are video clips of Israelis unequivocally advocating for the killing of Palestinian children!
Please save these video clips and repost them every day as often as you can
I call it genocide because IT IS genocide.
Defined by intent, not by method or means.
Visible without magnification—if we look with context, at the victims: what they share is being part of a group, as such. Because of it, they get killed, tortured, maimed, starved, raped, massacred. In dozens or hundreds daily.
Genocide is a process, not a single act.
A collective act. A criminal venture.
To end it, we must first be willing to see it.
We, UN Independent Experts, urge Member States to protect the Flotilla—whose members are doing what humanity demands, international law protects, and governments too often choose to forget.
Breaking the siege is a collective responsibility.
