El gobierno acaba de anunciar que paraliza la construcción de la 3ra etapa de la ciclovía de la Alameda, a pesar de estar ya diseñada, con presupuesto asignado y ya construidas las primeras dos etapas. Con borrones y cuenta nueva NO se construye ciudad, ni justicia urbana y menos unidad. Las comunas de Estación Central, Lo Prado y Maipú serán, una vez más, discriminadas. Hacemos un llamado al gobierno del Pdte. Kast a reconsiderar esta medida.

“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”

I can’t in good conscience continue to work for Reuters given their betrayal of journalists in Gaza and culpability in the assassination of 245 our colleagues.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

State must stop Israel's genocide.

Urgently needed ACTIONS:

1. Full arms embargo.

2. Navies carrying aid breaking the blockade.

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

¡Gaza no está sola!

Este sábado 9 de agosto a las 11hrs., convocamos a toda la sociedad civil a movilizarse en cada rincón del país.

En Santiago, marcharemos desde el GAM hasta Los Héroes, con nuestras ollas vacías como símbolo del hambre que arrasa Gaza y del silencio que no aceptamos.

En Gaza, más de medio millón de personas enfrenta la fase 5, es decir, hambruna. Movilicémonos desde Arica a Punta Arenas.

¡Basta de genocidio! ¡Basta de hambruna! ¡Palestina libre ya!

Odeh Hadalin, activista que ayudó a grabar No Other Land, ha sido asesinado por un colono israelí en su aldea, Um al-Kheir, en la Cisjordania ocupada, donde los colonos disfrutan de una impunidad casi total por la violencia que ejercen contra la población palestina. (1/5)

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

Leading Israeli human rights organizations B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel concluded that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. There is no more time for performative debates, states must take urgent and effective measures to end Israel’s impunity for its human rights violations against Palestinians and stop its genocide, apartheid and unlawful occupation. https://t.co/SYrxD433uA

[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.

[André Carson @RepAndreCarson]

Gaza isn't starving. It's being starved.

The Israeli government has blocked humanitarian aid into Gaza for over 8 months. Over 150 Gazans have been killed by starvation, 82 of those children.

On top of that, Israeli strikes are targeting dozens of people seeking the little aid there is at what's being described as humanitarian death traps.

This is a moral crisis. I'm calling for an Israeli arms embargo and a full surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Enough is enough.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Israel's announced "tactical pause" in Gaza is desperately insufficient while it commits genocide against Palestinians, who are facing the catastrophic conditions Israel deliberately engineered. There must be an immediate & sustained ceasefire, and an end to Israel’s genocide.

DW Verifica: imágenes de dron que reflejan la destrucción de Gaza son reales

Este video publicado en X obtuvo 9 millones de vistas antes de ser archivado. Originaba sospechas por su baja calidad y lo impactante de las imágenes de la destrucción en Gaza, por lo que algunos usuarios cuestionaron su autenticidad. DW ha verificado que es un video real del campo de refugiados de Jabalia y que no ha sido manipulado ni creado con inteligencia artificial.

The UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution demanding an immediate & permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

The resolution also demands full, rapid, safe & unhindered humanitarian access in Gaza & the immediate release of all hostages.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

A long Annus Horribilis in a picture.
For the last 14 months millions of decent human beings worldwide have battled between incredulity, rage, frustration, sense of impotence, depression and crude pain over the brutalization of millions of Palestinians by the state which the int'l community has allowed to behave like a spoiled brat for decades. ENOUGH.
Member states must act now and stop the genocide. Then the occupation. And finally the apartheid.
We must collectively restore respect for legality, our trust in common rules and systems, and our capacity to act as humans.
