[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

WHY are we letting Israeli soldiers destroy every inch of Palestine? Is it ''a war''? Would you accept others do this to you and your home?

Let's stop this genocide together.
Diplomats
Politicians
Judges
Police officers
Journalists
Citizens
Anyone can and must take action.

[Al-Haq الحق @alhaq_org]

Al-Haq welcomes landmark decision of Brussels Court of Appeal, from 16 March, finding Belgium did not do everything reasonably in its power, at the opportune moment, to prevent Israel's genocide and grave breaches of Geneva Conventions against the Palestinian people. /1

[Hanan Ashrawi @DrHananAshrawi]

Man-made, forced hunger, starvation, malnutrition, famine as a deliberate Israeli tool for committing genocide against the Palestinians. The whole world saw this & either enabled it or looked the other way or expressed concern & alarm, but who had the guts & resolve to bring Israel to compliance with the law, to cease & desist & to suffer consequences? Cowardice & complicity have maintained Israeli criminality & impunity.
Palestinians are not dying, they are being deliberately & cruelly murdered in every way possible. The pain is intolerable.

[Sara Bell @SaraBell]

@Jonathan_K_Cook The horror and the atrocities must end now! 💔

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital https://t.co/MMKatjgeAa

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

#Gaza: We condemn the killing by Israeli military of 6 Palestinian journalists by targeting their tent, in grave breach of international humanitarian law. #Israel must respect & protect all civilians, including journalists. At least 242 Palestinian journalists were killed in Gaza since 7 Oct 2023.

We call for immediate, safe & unhindered access to Gaza for all journalists.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Today the whole world watches, in shock and disgust, the escalation and acceleration of decades-old abusive practices and crimes inflicted on the Palestinians -by the state of Israel, its army and ideological settlers.
With absolute impunity granted by "the west".
This must end.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

A year after Israeli politician Moishe Feiglin invoked the mass murder of our Jewish ancestors in the Nazi holocaust as a model to take over Gaza, the calamity of the Israeli government’s genocide has reached a new and staggering level of mass violence.

And still there are American politicians who continue to fund and defend the Israeli government.

#PeasantAlert #Palestine Destroying a national seed bank is an act of erasure, intended to sever the generational ties between farmers and their land.

We call on all international partners, human rights defenders, and solidarity movements to speak out forcefully against this crime. #PeasantAlert #Palestine

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

It sounds inconceivable. But it’s the truth.

Israel is taking deliberate, coordinated action to destroy the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Explicit statements by Israeli officials, combined with a consistent policy of destructive attacks and other practices of annihilation, prove beyond a doubt that Israel’s target is the entire population of Gaza.

Entire cities razed to the ground; medical, educational, religious and cultural infrastructure systematically destroyed; 2 million Palestinians forcibly displaced with the aim of expelling them from Gaza; and, of course, mass starvation and killing - all this amounts to an explicit attempt to destroy the population of Gaza and impose living conditions so catastrophic that Palestinian society cannot continue to exist there.

That is the exact definition of genocide.

The report we are releasing today is a warning: The ideology driving the Israeli regime is not confined to Gaza.

The same regime, the same army, the same leaders and the same commanders are implementing extremely violent practices against Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and within Israel. We are already witnessing the spillover of practices Israel is using in Gaza to other areas - on a different scale, but guided by the same logic. In the West Bank, this is taking the form of airstrikes, demolition of refugee camps, mass evictions, and the deliberate destruction of Palestinian economy and society.

No Palestinian who lives under the genocidal Israeli regime is safe.

There is no justification for genocide – not “self-defense”, not “security”, and not the heinous acts committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which triggered profound existential fear among Israelis.

The international community has not only failed in its duty to stop the atrocities, but the leaders of the Western world, particularly the United States and Europe, also share responsibility by providing support that enables Israel’s acts of destruction. It is the duty of the international community to stop the genocide Israel is carrying out in Gaza.

On social media, we are seeing footage of people buried under bombed-out buildings, displaced persons’ camps on fire, children starving, people desperate for water, and hospitals left unable to treat the injured and the sick.

As a human rights organization it is our duty and responsibility to say the truth: Genocide is happening, right here and right now.

This is our genocide, and we need to stop it.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Recognising the State of Palestine, at the height of the genocide, is a belated act of coherence that, HOWEVER, if not supported by concrete actions to end apartheid and its associated crimes, risks distracting from the existential threat the Palestinian people face right now.

[Dr. Mads Gilbert @DrMadsGilbert]

Starvation is an Israeli weapon of mass destruction (WMD) in Gaza.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

No UN agency can simply deplore Israel's crimes today. The 2024 ICJ Advisory Opinion imposes on the UN, among others, the responsibility to remind Israel that the only legal thing it can do in Gaza, West Bank and east Jerusalem is to withdraw its illegal presence.

GET.
OUT.
OF THE oPt.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

❌BREAKING❌
1/#Rafael, Israeli state-owned arms manufacturer, has actively supported the genocide in Gaza. Now, in an utter display of cruelty, it uses footage of Palestinians being killed as a marketing tool to promote kamikaze drones. It is IMPUNITY that fuels such depravity.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

My last report is downloadable on Rainews' platform: quite a development.
Thank to the conscientious journalists who have worked hard, from within the system, to have my findings and analyses land on mainstream platforms during this genocide.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Engineered starvation as part of the intentional destruction of a group as such. This is so familiar to other settler-colonial genocides; yet, this is the first settler-colonial genocide to land before an intl court.
But even in this case justice will be served late. It is already late.

We the People must stop this genocide.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I have no words left, and I fear that even words can wound.
I implore the EU and others who are 'preserving dialogue' with Israel: use it to end all unlawful detentions under int'l law.
All hostages - Palestinians and Israelis - must be allowed to safely return home.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Profiting from genocide is not merely depravity: it is a crime. Those responsible must be held accountable.
