If you’re not writing the truth about crimes against humanity, you’re culpable in them.

ADL et al's values, in action!

Threatening legal action if a city adopts ordinance against contracts with/investing in entities engaged in “apartheid, genocide, unlawful military occupation, or conduct recognized to constitute systematic violation of intl humanitarian law.” 1/

Why is @Google running paid ads for a genocidal state to whitewash their crimes?

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel wants you to believe that multiple UN reports and experts are lying. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Oxfam, Save the Children, Doctors Without Borders, B’Tselem, Physicians for Human Rights Israel…are all lying.

But you should believe the people who did this…

If you’re still debating whether to aid the mass slaughter of children, you don't need “guidance,” you need a therapist.

[Zo Brown @receipts_lol]

The Israeli government also bought Google ads for the search term "Zionism Observer" in certain countries.

Google is profiting from, and participating in, the genocide.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Voting to fund a state committing genocide and crimes against humanity isn’t a debate, it’s complicity.

With all the evidence, all the reports, there is no space for doubt or deniability. Knowingly aiding war crimes makes you culpable in them.

NEWS: In a closed House Dem meeting, rank and file lawmakers expressed alarm at having to vote on an amendment to cut off aid to Israel.

Begging for leadership's guidance.

Children.

Let that sink in.

According to a new UN inquiry, Israeli authorities and security forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children in Gaza, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

No government, army, ideology, or political argument can make the killing, starvation, displacement, and traumatizing of children morally acceptable. A world that excuses the destruction of children has lost its moral center.

We must not grow numb. We must demand an end to genocide, protection for Palestinian children, unrestricted humanitarian aid, accountability for these atrocities, and every child’s right to live in dignity, safety, and peace.

Israel rejects that children are defined as under 18, they’re an actual parody.

[The Jerusalem Post @Jerusalem_Post]

A UN inquiry alleges that the IDF deliberately targeted Palestinian children in Gaza, citing genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes, defining a child as "under-18." Israel rejects the findings and calls the report biased and defamatory.

Iran is deep in Muharram mourning rituals ahead of Ashura tomorrow. This year's ceremonies have been shaped by the aftermath of the war, giving the themes of sacrifice, loss, resistance, martyrdom a renewed resonance.

I know I'm supposed to see it as "progress" that this is finally causing panic in the party, but I can't get over the fact that people still need "guidance" to figure out whether to keep arming a government that has slaughtered well over 20,000 kids over the last couple of years.

I have never been as proud of myself as I am today. You don’t know what a basket of vegetables and a few bunches of grapes mean to a displaced child living in a tent under the blazing heat of the sun with little or no food. You cannot imagine that today, some of them are tasting fruit for the first time in years.

Imagine a child who is seven or eight years old and doesn’t even know the name of a grape. They see it, yet they do not know what it is called or what it tastes like.

Throughout this war, I have dedicated my life to serving thousands of displaced and hungry people. I have been able to provide food and water, and I made them a priority above my own family, my brothers, and my relatives.

Today, after X suspended the account where I used to write my diary and share my stories from this terrible war, I am trying, through this small account, to continue helping those hungry people who are living in tents.

But my voice alone is not enough, and one hand cannot clap by itself. So I ask you to help me do more. Help me feed more children and support parents who are unable to provide food for their sons and daughters. Your support can make a tremendous difference.

I write these words feeling powerless to do more, powerless to reach every person in the world, powerless to tell everyone that the children of Gaza need you today more than ever.

It’s not “blood libel” if it’s true.

[Israel in the EU @IsraelinEU]

Commissioner @hadjalahbib ,

Facts should matter.

Once again, you are parroting blood libels against Israel.

We urge you to stop echoing propaganda based on a flawed, biased, and defamatory report.

The use of propaganda to demonize Israel ultimately damages the broader cause of human rights.

Again, “I support human rights and progress and oppose racism but also am pro killing 20,000+ children in Gaza” is simply not a tenable position anymore. The contradictions are too heightened, blah blah terrorism blah blah antisemitism doesnt have the juice it used to. It’s over.

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

Following a UN report documenting Israel’s deliberate targeting of Palestinian children, Ms. Rachel questions the silence of world leaders:

“Where have you been, leaders? What made you speak out about other people’s human rights but not the children of Gaza?”

One of the killings involved a ten day old baby being shot by an Israeli sniper in broad daylight whilst the baby was being breastfed : an independent UN Commission says Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank
