lover of archives, cats, cliff walks, chocolate. By day, enthusiastic PhD student.. by night, wife and mother. During lockdown...a sorry state of both.
In what world is this kind of barbarity ignored by officials and much of the international media? The Israelis commit a massacre of civil defense workers in Gaza, then try to cover the crime up with bulldozers. The slaughter continues, amid global silence: https://t.co/Zrfb01NvL0
On this International Women's Day I am thinking about the millions of Afghan women and girls who continue to have their basic human rights denied.
Today it is 1267 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from going to school.

‘.The targeting of civilians, indiscriminate attacks & disproportionate use of force are explicitly prohibited under the Geneva Conventions & customary international law.’
Simple, really Bibi.

Horrifying and sickening to see the number of senior US officials threatening action against those states that uphold international law. When it comes to the Middle East, the US appears to have lost the plot, behaving like a tinpot gangster state with zero moral authority.
‘The amount of aid reaching Gaza has dropped to the lowest level since December, official Israeli figures show.’ (Guardian).
Yet still the US does nothing, while the UK government sits impotently by, seemingly afraid to upset either the US…or Israel.

I once believed that the Israeli government's slaughter of civilians was indiscriminate. I was completely wrong. It is deliberate, massive and plainly genocidal.
More than 100 children have been killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon in the past six weeks. Around 10% of the wounded are children, left with severed limbs, burned bodies, and broken families. Read @seldeeb. https://t.co/7imdMEJAgO
Dr James Smith, an emergency doctor who worked in Gaza, says Israel’s latest attack on civilians praying at a Gaza school, which killed over 100 people, is a repetition of previous attacks on displaced Palestinians.

As a cancer specialist in #Middlesbrough, I think that it’s important to let the right wing racists, fascists and bigots know that we couldn’t deliver a cancer service to the local population without amazing colleagues from all over the world, many of whom are Muslims #RiotsinUK
Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan says Israel’s recent attack on a school in Deir el-Balah reflects what's really happening on the ground in Gaza and with civilian casualties.
“Where do we go?”
These girls, like thousands of other Palestinians in Gaza, have been forcibly displaced after the Israeli army issued an evacuation order for parts of Khan Younis.
