Since South Africa has taken the step to charge Israel with the crime of genocide in the International Court of Justice, it is good to remember some of the material ways in which Israel attempted to prolong racist apartheid rule there.
A few moments before the UK Foreign Secretary had said Israel should turn the water back on. Brendan O'Hara points out this is an admission that Israel has committed a war crime.
Cameron says he's not a lawyer. Then watch the response of the Permanent Under-Secretary.
His wife. His kids. Grandkid. All targeted because he’s a journalist exposing Israel’s war crimes in Gaza. Extraordinary humanity. Extraordinary courage. Extraordinary faith.
A tip for journalists:
If you haven’t figured out by now, you should not trust and immediately publish any claim made by the IDF, an organization whose “ethical standards” include killing thousands of children with impunity and without remorse while murdering actual journalists on the ground reporting.
You’re losing your credibility and humanity giving cover to this genocide.
The #UN Secretary General says "#Gaza is becoming a graveyard for children. Hundreds of girls + boys are reportedly being killed or injured every day" - The #US#EU#UK gave their unconditional support to this slaughter of #Palestinians - What happened to Civilisation...?
4000 #Palestinian Children have been slaughtered in #Gaza - Is that enough for our 'European Values'..? The #EU must end its unconditional support for the #Israeli Genocide - The EU must work for a Ceasefire now...
#FreePalestine
March and rally in Dublin this Saturday for #Gaza, to coincide with a massive international solidarity mobilisation. Gaza reeling after a month of unprecedented carnage, which continues. We need everyone on the streets to keep the pressure on. We must have a #ceasefirenow.
BREAKING: Dockworkers in Barcelona refuse to load or unload ships carrying war materials for Israel. They join the global demand for ceasefire now.
There is a growing movement of solidarity with Palestine with millions taking action against genocide. #FreePalestine
You saw..
Babies with their brains blown out.
Babies terrorized by nonstop air strikes.
Babies scorched by white phosphorus bombs.
Babies buried under the rubble.
Over 10,000 civilians now.
And you still didn’t act or care.
Maybe it’s you who is the animal.
#GazaGenocide
"There are civilians seeking shelter there. My doctors & nurses didn't leave out of loyalty to their community. There's an idea anyone who stayed behind is a threat. The people who stayed behind are heroes. They know they're doing to die. They're choosing to stay behind anyway."
BREAKING: The High Court has ruled that it is unlawful and unconstitutional for the Australian Government to detain people indefinitely in immigration detention.
Joint statement with @KaldorCentre 👇https://t.co/RNGNrAjOF1
سدد الله رمي إخواننا المجاهدين في غزة وقوى ساعدهم وأنزل عليهم نصره وتأييده وشفى الله صدورهم
وكبت شر عدوهم ورد كيده في نحره وقذف في قلوبهم الرعب وفي أجسادهم الخور والوهن
الفلسطينيون أعلم بحالهم من غيرهم وأعرف بمصالحهم وأخبر بواقعهم
ولهم منا المعونة والدعاء
فلا يتطفلن عليهم من قلّ علمه وقصرت خبرته وجهل واقعهم
ومن عنده نصيحة ورأي فليس هذا وقته
بل للنصيحة وقت يناسبها ولها سبلٌ وطرائق لإيصالها بما لا يُهون العزائم ولا يقوي الأعداء والخصوم وبما يقطع الطريق على المنافقين والمخذلين والمرجفين
How dare @vonderleyen declare "Europe stands with Israel"?
She does not speak for me.
She does not speak for Ireland.
She does not speak for the citizens of Europe.
We stand for peace, international law and justice for the people of #Palestine.
It's time for her to go.
To the suddenly concerned & praying:
Our Palestinian casualties are always your footnotes. The daily humiliation of occupation ignored. The aggression by settlers and soldiers alike on holy sites and souls. The annihilation of entire families that follows. The devastation of whatever scraps remain in the open air prison of Gaza. Unsustainable & inhumane. So if you’re waking up to a sudden interest in the region and want to know what’s been happening, dig a bit deeper than 2 weeks and try to read beyond the headlines of a media that has been dehumanizing us for decades.
