We will never forget the brave heart that tried to make an injured lonely infant smile while he himself couldn’t hold back his tears.

[Aymeric Caron @CaronAymericoff]

J’enrage.
Encore un enfant assassiné par Israël à Gaza.
Il revenait de l’école, dans le camp de Jabalia, il portait son cartable.
Honte aux salopards qui ont fait ça .
Honte à la France, qui les a laissé faire.

Uma das coisas mais perturbadoras sobre os estupros no caso da Flotilha é que os sobreviventes estão tendo que tomar, por 28 dias, medicamentos para prevenir uma possível infecção pelo HIV em razão da violência praticada pelos soldados.

As mulheres, além disso, tiveram que tomar pílulas do dia seguinte e torcer para que fossem efetivas.

Isso mostra que a violência de Israel não termina quando os sequestrados são libertados. Ela continua no corpo, no medo, na espera por exames, nos efeitos colaterais dos medicamentos, na angústia de quem ainda precisa lidar com as consequências de uma agressão cometida sob custódia de um Estado.

A libertação não apaga a tortura. Não apaga a violência sexual. Não apaga o trauma produzido por um sequestro ilegal e por práticas que deveriam ser tratadas como crimes internacionais.

As violências de Israel continuam acontecendo e produzindo efeitos físicos, psicológicos, políticos e humanos muito depois do fim do sequestro.

🔴 Contenu sensible : nouveaux témoignages de Palestiniens et Palestiniennes sur les violences sexuelles israéliennes.

Malgré un biais structurel anti-palestinien, le New York Times consacre enfin un article aux violences sexuelles infligées aux Palestiniens sur la base de 14 témoignages et de rapports d’organisations internationales.

En voici des extraits :

Nos équipes ont enquêté sur les frappes contre l'école de Minab en Iran.

Nos conclusions sont claires : les États-Unis sont responsables de cette attaque.

Nous dénonçons une grave violation du droit international humanitaire.

J’étais dans cet immeuble hier avec les habitants qui essayaient de récupérer quelques affaires suite à une frappe sur le bâtiment il y a 6 jours

Ils étaient tous terrorisés que le régime israëlien puisse bombarder à nouveau

Ils ont tout perdu désormais

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am a diplomatic aide in the Sultanate of Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

My job is logistics. When two countries that cannot speak to each other need to speak to each other, I book the rooms. I prepare the briefing materials. I make sure the water glasses are the right distance apart. You would be surprised how much of diplomacy is water glasses. Too close and it feels informal. Too far and it feels like a tribunal. I have a chart.

We had a very good month.

Since January, Oman has been mediating indirect talks between the United States and Iran on Iran's nuclear program. The talks were held in Muscat and in Geneva. The Americans would sit in one room. The Iranians would sit in another room. I would walk between them. My Fitbit says I averaged fourteen thousand steps on negotiation days. The hallway between the two rooms at the Royal Opera House conference center is forty-seven meters. I walked it two hundred and twelve times in February. This is good for my cardiovascular health. It was less good for my knees. Both are in the service of peace.

By mid-February, we had something.

Iran agreed to zero stockpiling of enriched uranium. Not reduced stockpiling. Zero. They agreed to down-blend existing stockpiles to the lowest possible level. They agreed to convert them into irreversible fuel. They agreed to full IAEA verification with potential US inspector access. They agreed, in the Foreign Minister's phrase, to "never, ever" possess nuclear material for a bomb. I have worked in diplomacy for seven years. I have never seen a country agree to this many things this quickly. I made a spreadsheet of the concessions. It had fourteen rows. I color-coded it. Green for confirmed. Yellow for pending. By February 21 the spreadsheet was entirely green. I printed it. It is on my desk in Muscat. It is still green.

That phrase took eleven days. "Never, ever." The Iranians initially offered "not seek to." The Americans wanted "will not under any circumstances." We landed on "never, ever" at 2:14 AM on a Tuesday in Muscat. I typed the final version myself. I used Times New Roman because Geneva prefers it. The document was fourteen pages. I was proud of every comma.

Here is what they said, in the order they said it.

February 24: "We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity." — The Foreign Minister, private briefing to Gulf Cooperation Council ambassadors. I prepared the slide deck. Slide 14 was the implementation timeline. Slide 15 was the signing ceremony logistics. I had reserved the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Room XX. It seats four hundred. We discussed pen brands for the signing. The Iranians preferred Montblanc. The Americans had no preference. I ordered twelve Montblanc Meisterstucks at six hundred and thirty dollars each. They arrive on Tuesday.

February 27, 8:30 AM EST: "The deal is within our reach." — The Foreign Minister, CBS Face the Nation. He sat across from Margaret Brennan. He said broad political terms could be agreed "tomorrow" with ninety days for technical implementation in Vienna. He said, and I wrote this line for the briefing card he carried in his breast pocket: "If we just allow diplomacy the space it needs." He praised the American envoys by name. Steve Witkoff. Jared Kushner. He said both had been constructive.

I watched from the Four Seasons Georgetown. The minibar had cashews. I ate the cashews. They were nineteen dollars. The most expensive cashew I have ever eaten. But it was a good morning and we were within our reach.

February 27, 2:00 PM EST: Meeting with Vice President Vance, Washington. The Foreign Minister presented our progress. Zero stockpiling. Full verification. Irreversible conversion. "Never, ever." The Vice President used the word "encouraging." His aide took notes on an iPad. The aide did not make eye contact for the last nine minutes of the meeting. I noticed this. Noticing things is the only part of my job that is not water glasses.

February 27, 4:00 PM EST: "Not happy with the pace." — President Trump, to reporters.

Not happy with the pace.

We had achieved zero stockpiling. Full IAEA verification. Irreversible fuel conversion. Inspector access. And the phrase "never, ever," which took eleven days and cost me two hundred and twelve trips down a forty-seven-meter hallway.

Every American president since Carter has failed to get Iran to agree to this. Forty-five years.

Not happy with the pace.

February 27, 9:47 PM EST: The Foreign Minister's flight departs Dulles for Muscat. I am in the seat behind him. He is reviewing Slide 14 on his laptop. The implementation timeline. Vienna technical sessions. The signing ceremony. The pens.

I fall asleep over the Atlantic. I dream about water glasses.

February 28, 6:00 AM GST: I wake up to push notifications.

February 28: "The United States has begun major combat operations in Iran." — President Trump.

Operation Epic Fury. Coordinated airstrikes. The United States and Israel. Tehran. Isfahan. Qom. Karaj. Kermanshah. Nuclear facilities. IRGC bases. Sites near the Supreme Leader's office. Israel called their half Operation Roaring Lion. Someone in both governments spent time choosing these names. Epic Fury. Roaring Lion. I spent eleven days on "never, ever." They spent it on branding. The President said Iran had "rejected American calls to halt its nuclear weapons production."

Rejected.

Iran had agreed to zero stockpiling. Iran had agreed to full verification. Iran had agreed to "never, ever." Iran had agreed to everything in a fourteen-page document that I typed in Times New Roman.

The President said they rejected it.

I do not know which document the President was reading. I know which one I typed.

February 28, 18:45 UTC: Iran internet connectivity: four percent. — NetBlocks, confirmed by Cloudflare. Ninety-six percent of a country went dark. You cannot negotiate with a country at four percent connectivity. You cannot negotiate with a country that is being struck. You cannot negotiate. This is not a political opinion. This is a logistics assessment.

February 28: The governor of Minab reported forty girls killed at an elementary school.

I do not have logistics for that. There is no slide for that. The water glass chart does not cover that.

February 28: Lockheed Martin: up. Northrop Grumman: up. RTX: up. Dow futures: down six hundred and twenty-two points. Gold: five thousand two hundred and ninety-six dollars. An analyst at AInvest published a note titled "Iran Strikes: Tactical Plays." The note recommended positions in oil, defense stocks, and gold.

The most expensive cashew I have ever eaten was nineteen dollars. The most expensive pen I have ever ordered was six hundred and thirty dollars. The math suggests I have been working in the wrong industry. Defense stocks do not require water glasses. Defense stocks do not require eleven days. Defense stocks require one morning.

February 28: Israel closed its airspace and its schools. Iran launched retaliatory missiles toward US bases in the Gulf. The Supreme Leader promised a "crushing response." Israel's defense minister declared a permanent state of emergency. Everyone is using words I recognize in an order I do not. I recognize "permanent." I recognize "emergency." I do not recognize them next to each other. In diplomacy, nothing is permanent and everything is an emergency. In war it is the reverse.

February 28: The Foreign Minister has not made a public statement.

The briefing card is still in his breast pocket. It still says "within our reach."

[Al Kanz @Alkanz]

Nous aurons l'occasion de revenir sur AMCE et Alvarez & Marsal, qui a implanté une filiale à Tel Aviv, au cœur de l'écosystème israélien, en plein génocide à Gaza.

Leur partenariat, loin d'être marginal, est bien plus structurant qu'il n'y paraît.

"When will the scenes of our children being killed come to an end?"

Most of the victims are children in Israel's attacks today in the Gaza Strip.

[Ambassadeur Abdal Karim Ewaida @KarimEwaida]

Le Centre palestinien pour les droits de l'homme a publié le premier témoignage d'une femme de Gaza ayant subi des violences sexuelles, des viols répétés et des actes de torture par des soldats israéliens. Son récit est horrible : elle a été bandée des yeux, déshabillée, attachée à un lit métallique, violée à plusieurs reprises pendant plusieurs jours, battue et filmée. Les soldats riaient de ses cris et menaçaient de diffuser ses photos en ligne. Ce n'est pas seulement un crime, c'est le crime des crimes.

Ce qui est encore plus alarmant, c'est le silence du monde. La même communauté internationale qui réagit rapidement aux exactions dans les conflits à travers le globe semble ignorer la souffrance des femmes palestiniennes. Les organisations de défense des droits humains et les militant(e)s des droits des femmes détournent souvent le regard lorsque les victimes viennent de Gaza. Cette double norme est flagrante et inacceptable, comme si ces crimes contre les femmes de Gaza étaient normaux et indignes d'indignation.

Le silence face à de telles atrocités n'est pas de la neutralité, mais de la complicité. Les gouvernements qui continuent d'armer et de financer Israël, et les médias qui ignorent la couverture de ces crimes, deviennent partie prenante des auteurs. Il ne peut y avoir de justice, de droits humains ni de féminisme si l'indignation s'arrête aux frontières de la Palestine. Le monde doit parler, agir et tenir pour responsables tous ceux qui ont commis le crime, ainsi que ceux qui le soutiennent ou ferment les yeux.

Gaza this night.

[Thomas Portes @Portes_Thomas]

Ce soir le monde doit voir ce que fait Israël au peuple palestinien.

Ce soir des journalistes ont été exécutés froidement.

DES JOURNALISTES !

Faites tourner ces images partout dans le monde.

Israël est une état voyou à mettre au ban des nations.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

As the opening salvo of its occupation of Gaza City, Israel has assassinated Anas Al-Sharif, one of the world’s most courageous journalists

Israel also murdered his brave colleagues, Ismail Al-Ghoul and Hosam Shabat

Israel killed them because they showed the world the uniquely satanic violence it has unleashed across Gaza - they were our eyes and ears on the ground

[Thomas Portes @Portes_Thomas]

Tonight, the world must see what Israel is doing to the Palestinian people.

Tonight, journalists were coldly executed.

JOURNALISTS!

Share these images all over the world.

Israel is a rogue state that should be cast out from the community of nations.

Ce soir face à l’exécution de plusieurs journalistes palestiniens par Israël leurs collègues doivent se lever en France pour briser le silence, dénoncer ce crime de guerre et exiger l’arrêt total des invitations faites aux génocidaires israéliens. Journalistes français réveillez vous !
