The deafening silence of feminists not defending the women of Gaza https://t.co/020KrHEiZg

Israel claims to be grounded on the rule of law and discipline. It is a violation of the genocide convention for a state party to fail to prevent or stop the commission of the crime of genocide. Mass starving of people is a prohibited genocidal crime and stopping aid trucks is genocidal action in violation of the #ICJ’s provisional indications #StopTheGenocide #SavePalestine #SaveGaza💔💔💔💔💔

I hope this clarifies to those who think there is a war between two countries. There is an invasion by Israel of Gaza, a Palestinian territory under its occupation, alleging to be looking for armed Hamas combatants among civilians. Israel has now killed over 15000 children mostly bombed while sleeping at home not in a battlefield #SavePalestine #SaveGaza

#OPINION: #Gaza will need a massive and probably unprecedented aid bridge when a ceasefire occurs. And once such an aid bridge is launched, it cannot stop, writes @plato010 https://t.co/jdNZQC3dFB

#SPOTLIGHT: Ahed’s leg had to be amputated with a kitchen knife & without anesthetic after an #Israeli tank shell struck her home in #Gaza. She is just one of the #Palestinian enclave’s many child amputees https://t.co/RjRFfzcTjL

“These are just two Hadiths that suggest that Muslims cannot and should not collaborate with those who oppress others.”

The South African Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr. Naledi Pandor, quoted two Islamic Hadiths in her address about South Africa’s stance on supporting the oppressed, and not the oppressor.

I just want to say how moving and powerful South Africa’s case was. You could see how much work this team put in. It was an act of love and solidarity and no matter what happens it was a historic day that lifted our spirits. 🇵🇸❤️ 🇿🇦

Super performance by South African legal team present its case on Israel’s violation of the Genocide Convention through atrocities in Gaza and genocidal statements.The clear, concise,accurate,persuasive and professional presentation of law and facts is exemplary #RSAvIsrael #ICJ

[Dr. Mads Gilbert @DrMadsGilbert]

Remember when the occupation army killed three hostages of their own people? Massive coverage, names, family stories - everything. Here it’s ‘just’ a poor Palestinian woman, shot by the same army while holding the hand of a child with a white flag. No fuss about it…

[Maria @real1maria]

It's a specific brand of racism called Orientalism, a term coined by Edward Said who showed how since the 1700s Western journalists, fiction writers & scholars painted people of the East as stagnant, inferior & degenerate in order to justify their crimes against them

[Rania @umyaznemo]

Francis Boyle who won 2 requests at the ICJ under the #genocide Convention believes that there is ample evidence that Israel is committing genocide.

[Abdul-Waghied Misbach @aw_misbach]

@NthikengMohlele @Heckitty @CapeFlatsBF @FionaSnyckers I am referring here to your retweet, just last week, of your 2019 review of 'Lacuna'. Islamophobia/Orientalism/Racism must be challenged in all its latent and manifest forms (as Edward Said put it), in life and literature.

[Abdul-Waghied Misbach @aw_misbach]

@NthikengMohlele @Heckitty @CapeFlatsBF @FionaSnyckers Greetings brother. Perhaps you can explain why you are again promoting a novel with such Islamophobic content. Are you aware of the references to Muslim women (invisible men), Bo-Kaap where largely Muslims live? We are in the business of representations.
