Wow. BBC journalists are now not even allowed to report the censored line from my Reith Lecture, that Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history.”

You can hear how carefully they’re forced to tiptoe around it. So, so chilling.

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

[Tour de France™ @LeTour]

We remember Jørgen Leth with deep respect and gratitude.
His voice brought the Tour de France to life for generations of Danes.
With poetry and passion, he showed the beauty of cycling like no one else.
Jørgen will always be part of the spirit of the Tour.
Our thoughts are with his family and all who loved him.

3. Protection presence authorised under UNGA res. United For Peace entering by sea, Rafah (in Gaza) and Jordan (West Bank/east Jerusalem).

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The absolute incapacity of Western leaders to enforce intl law when it comes to Israel is EPIC.

Ministers, Prime Ministers, Presidents of Republic:

Doing NOTHING, diverting attention, sanctioning individual ministers IS NOT enforcing the intl law that was developed after the Holocaust and WWII to prevent another Holocaust and WWII.

At this critical point,
Your states have a CLEAR obligation to:
1. Sanction Israel
2. Impose a total arms embargo (no buy, no sell, no transfer, direct or indirect)
3. Break the siege (send navies instead of dropping food on the head of starving genocide survivors)
4. Suspend all trade agreements with Israel till the end of the genocide, occupation and apartheid.
5. Investigate and prosecute individuals and orgs that have committed crimes in the oPt.

Together we can, and we will.

We need to stop Israel now or will be too late to save seven million Palestinians from genocide and ethnic cleansing.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I have never felt so shaken.

Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch.

How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation campaign?

PS: Talking politics while dodging genocide perfectly meets the definition of doing nothing.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

So little, so late, President @vonderleyen :
After you have given Israel 21 months a free pass in Gaza, it will take more than words to prevent Israel from completing its genocidal mission and overt ethnic cleansing campaign. And even more, to repair what's left of the EU credibility.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The Israeli Army is now targeting starving children in the head and testicles in Gaza, while terrorising others, together with violent lunatics, in the West Bank.

These past 650 days, Israel has written one of the darkest pages of human history.

And it is absolutely sickening that the EU leadership rewarded this country with more economic partnership instead of putting an end to the genocide.

[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]

To my fellow Europeans, 450ml EU citizens :

The EU, which had already disgraced itself by entering the Association agreement with Apartheid Israel years ago, is now refusing to suspend it.

This is the final piece of evidence that the EU is consciously supporting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians. This risks to be the end of EU values.

EU member states: I hope you will activate the CJEU. But meanwhile, please remember that regional agreements do not obliterate your obligations under intl law. Cut ties with Israel, starting with trade including of weapons. Do the right thing. Our European history commands it.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I 🧡 sensible lawyers as much as I🧡principled politicians. Right now, we need both fully engaged, 200% committed, to stopping the genocide.
All eyes must remain on Gaza, where children are dying of starvation in their mothers’ arms, while their fathers and siblings are bombed into pieces while searching for food.
ENOUGH.
Send navies.
Break the siege.
Together, we can. Together, we must.

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

The documentary that the BBC refused to air showing the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities was broadcast by Channel 4 last night.

Amnesty International researcher, Budour Hassan, explains the use of secret sites by the Israeli authorities.

[Muhammad Smiry 🇵🇸 @MuhammadSmiry]

A shocking Associated Press investigation has uncovered disturbing footage showing security contractors firing live rounds and stun grenades at Palestinians, not in combat zones, but at food distribution centers in Gaza.

kære @regeringDK . Når I nu igen og igen finder mange milliarder rundt omkring, kan I så ikke lige forklare hvorfor der skal skæres svarende til 6500 statslige stillinger? Må de 58 milliarder ikke bruges på det fælles bedste?
