@butterly76 @Independent_ie There’s a difference between being sceptical & blindly accepting what you’re told. Personally, I would like more evidence beyond “Israel who are seeking more war & haven’t questioned the pilot at all or shown evidence for their claims said so so must be true, don’t ask questions”

@AlanRMacLeod Did Ireland walk out? The foreign affairs minister said Ireland wouldn’t before the speech

@perkins_tp56 @DropSiteNews As an EU citizen, it’s very disturbing for us to realise too! Although some of the govs over here are just as worrying

[SRowe85 @Rowe85S95498]

@perkins_tp56 @DropSiteNews I agree with you. Unfortunately the systems are set up in a way that doesn’t. If the GA was the only vote that mattered, Palestine would have full statehood. But until the security council is reformed (which, again, the system is not set up to allow), then the US has a veto.

[SRowe85 @Rowe85S95498]

@perkins_tp56 @DropSiteNews I believe it’s because full UN state recognition must be approved by the UN security council, which the US will just veto. So the General Assembly and majority of states have given Palestine as many UN state privileges as possible without the full recognition the US is blocking

@Heidi__Matthews @CIJ_ICJ Thank for for the thread and summary. Much appreciated!

Israel didn’t just “fire on a car”, the Red Cross told them 5-year-old Hind was in that car. IDF gave permission to an ambulance to enter the area, then ambushed & bombed that ambulance, shot 355 bullets at Hind’s car, prevented anyone from reaching her body for 12 days & lied about it for 2 years saying “we never even had troops in that area” despite satellite images & audio recordings proving they were lying!

Disappointed the BBC cancelled my interview on Israel's killing of Hind Rajab

2 producers eagerly reached out. They confirmed the time & one called to prepare a brief for the anchor

She asked me whether Israel's announcement is positive, I explained in detail it was a cover up.

The IDF is blaming the killing of Hind, her uncle, aunt & 4 cousins on the family itself for trying to flee by car & on the ambulance sent to rescue her for "failures in the co-ordination of the movement."

None of this is remotely true! The Red Cross immediately informed the IDF about 5-year-old Hind who was hiding in that motionless car, & they requested permission from Israel to allow an ambulance to rescue them.

After multiple long hours, Israel granted greenlight to the ambulance & provided them with a designated route on a GPS to drive on.

As soon as the ambulance reached Hind's car, the IDF ambushed & bombed them immediately with an American made anti-tank missile then opened fire on Hind's car. The car was hit with 355 bullets.

Israel then kept that area under lockdown for 12 days, & prevented anyone from approaching.

Hind's mom went daily to the Ahli baptist hospital hoping to find her daughter, until her lifeless body was brought in along with the charred remains of the ambulance men.

Israel then claimed after an "initial investigation" that its troops were NEVER in that area to begin with. They maintained that claim for 2 years despite ample recordings & satellite images debunking this lie.

The only reason Israel is now making this new announcement of a deeper investigation is to shield its soldiers & generals from the International Criminal Court by invoking the principle of "complementarity;" that the ICC cannot investigate a state that is already investigating itself in good faith.

I told the BBC producer Israel today also quietly shut down the investigation into the triple tap killing of American, Canadian, British, Australian & Polish citizens in the WCK massacre. Israel blamed the massacre on the aid workers themselves for "deviating from the predesignated route" & for hiring an armed security guard "without informing the IDF" (both claims where debunked by WCK themselves, who had coordinates their every step with the IDF).

I told the producer the Israeli commander responsible for this massacre, Nochi Mendel, is a fanatical settler who had signed a petition calling for starving Gaza & that he was celebrated by settler leaders & supported by Israeli government leaders after what he did.

Mendel even received a box of chocolate from the settler council's leader & a letter of support for what he did.

Mendel was initially dismissed by the IDF & blamed for the massacre, but was quickly & quietly reinstated & promoted in the Defence Ministry as the head of the settlements and national infrastructure unit.

It's abundantly clear Israel is NOT serious about prosecuting any of the atrocities committed in Gaza. Since the genocide began, only two soldiers were punished by the IDF; one for microwaving a living frog & another for cooking sausages in the army kitchen on Shabbat.

The producer asked me: What about the 150 cases the IDF said are pending review?

I answered: it's just a number designed to give the appearance of seriousness, but it's essentially meaningless.

If it took the IDF two whole years to admit the simplest of facts that the entire world had already known, which is that their troops were the ones who fired on Hind Rajab's car, how do you expect them to do with the remaining cases that are not as high profile?

Five minutes after the call, the producer wrote me that they decided to cancel the interview & will not even host anyone else to comment on the issue, & instead they'll play archival footage!

greater percentage of children killed in Gaza than in Europe's holocaust. that's a hell of a statistic.

@GJPvWesten @JorgeLiboreiro Spain only gave immigrants the right to work legally, nothing else. Spain didn’t “pardon” them. That is dangerous language assuming someone is guilty of a crime without knowing anything else about them. Every person has the right to seek asylum, including you if you ever need it

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

@ronenbergman Is this the same red line the US wouldn’t let Israel cross in Rafah?

[SRowe85 @Rowe85S95498]

@tparsi Possible that Germany’s ongoing case in tbe ICJ, defending itself from Nicaraguan accusations that it’s in breach of its international obligations in supplying weapons to Israel, possibly influenced the result as well?

[SRowe85 @Rowe85S95498]

@adamparsons @MeAgainCG So let’s be accurate, impartial and objective. "Ethnic cleansing" is a term that is not recognized as a crime in international law. This term is used to obscure atrocities that often meet the threshold for genocide (Rome Statute Article 6) or crimes against humanity (RS Art 7d).

[SRowe85 @Rowe85S95498]

@adamparsons "Ethnic cleansing" is a propaganda term not recognised in intl law. It is used to obscure atrocities that often meet the threshold of genocide (Rome Statute Article 6) or crimes against humanity (RS Art 7d). Let’s not chuck it around - it’s forced displacement, murder, rape.

@RnaudBertrand @Peanut_charles1 As a European, it’s been a bit nightmarish to realise how much goes on at EU level that is just not covered or discussed at a national level. MEPs have almost free rein, and we’re living in naive little bubbles. It’s terrifying
