Month after month, the world has watched as Israel treated Palestinians in Gaza as a subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity, demonstrating its intent to physically destroy them.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Remember when attacks on hospitals were war crimes condemned by Western leaders?

But Israel can raid and attack hospitals in Gaza and kill Palestinians, including doctors and not a peep.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

This is your legacy.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Fixed it.

Wait…

WHAT?!! 🤮

Israeli forces allowed aid into northern Gaza for the first time in over a month – and then set fire to the shelters where the aid was delivered.

“The sad truth is that when a woman is killed by her partner her death has a much better chance of being branded a national disgrace if she is young, good looking and white.

And that in itself is also a national disgrace.” #MediaWatch

@AlanRMacLeod Did some American billionaires buy out the entire islands of Micronesia and Nauru?

I'm seeing a few of the same questions about UN voting pop up in the replies, so here are some answers:

The intense US economic blockade of countries like Venezuela 🇻🇪 and Afghanistan 🇦🇫 has caused them to be physically unable to transfer their dues (payable in US dollars) to the UN, meaning their voting rights have been suspended. The same thing happened to Iran a couple of years ago.

On the question of why so many tiny Pacific countries vote alongside the US 🇺🇸 and Israel 🇮🇱: They are microstates, and one of their only valuable exports is their United Nations votes, which are reliably (under the table) sold to the highest bidder. On so many issues, you will see the likes of Nauru 🇳🇷 and Micronesia 🇫🇲 vote with the minority (usually the US position) in order to pad the stats a bit. Why is it that only these countries vote alongside the US? Because that's all Washington can afford.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

The full voting list can be found here. The vote today was actually less one-sided than it should have been, as certain targets of Washington (e.g. Venezuela 🇻🇪, Afghanistan 🇦🇫) have had their voting privileges revoked, thanks mainly to US sanctions on their countries.

Australia has split with the United States and Israel, choosing to recognise Palestinian permanent sovereignty over resources in occupied territories in a UN vote.

Australia's vote joined 155 other nations in supporting the UN committee vote, an issue the country has voted no on since 2003 according to the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council.

"The Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC) is deeply concerned by the Australian Government’s vote on two draft resolutions in the UN General Assembly’s Second Committee, and the Government’s apparent determination to further weaken Australia’s long-standing bipartisan position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," AIJAC said in a release following the vote.

Australia also voted to blame Israel for an oil incident that affected Lebanon during the 2006 war.

In Germany, immigrants could lose their chance at citizenship for even liking pro-Palestinian social media posts.

AJ+ spoke to a Palestinian activist whose home was raided – for sharing a post with the phrase "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

BREAKING: Israeli settlers have stormed agricultural lands near Ramallah and set fire to olive trees. Is this not terrorism?

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel is wiping out border village after border village in South Lebanon.

Centuries-old villages.

When ISIS did this in Syria and Iraq, the whole world went crazy.

But when Israel systematically does the exact same thing in Palestine and Lebanon, nobody bats an eyelash.
