“We are waiting for our turn, one after the other.”
A Palestinian journalist from Gaza ripped off his protective gear during a live report after one of his colleagues was killed in an Israeli attack.
🇵🇸 #Gaza: This statement by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s daughter, Maria Guardiola has put a lot of politicians, celebrities, journalists and others with a platform to shame:
‘My God.
So is this really what we're going to do now? Just sit back and watch a genocide happen on the telly? Then decades from now, when it's in the history books, all look round at each other and ask, 'how did that happen?'
For the first time, I truly understand how mass atrocities have been able to occur throughout history - again, and again, and again. We never learn.
What does the death count need to be before someone finally speaks against this madness and urges restraint, not more arms? 10,000? 100,000?
A million? More? When have enough Palestinians died?
I get that lots of us are scared to speak up. I get we're afraid to say the "wrong thing. But I won't sit by in silence and live with the fact that I never spoke up when an atrocity on this scale was committed because of fear. We can express our complete condemnation for what the Israeli govt are doing and also assert our unwavering belief in the equal value of Palestinian lives, without inciting hatred against Jewish communities - another persecuted people. Indeed, many Jewish and Israeli people, in the midst of their deep grief and knowing the pain of persecution too well, have had the bravery and strength to be the very first to do so.
This is quite simple. We are watching an occupied, oppressed people face annihilation by a nuclear state with the full backing of the western world. This is not - and has never been - an 'equal fight'. Right now, it is a massacre on a scale I don't think I've ever seen in my life.
6,000 bombs dropped in 6 days already. On a strip of land just 25 miles long and 7.5 miles wide at its widest point. Whole neighbourhoods flattened. Families wiped out. Hospitals collapsing under the weight of the casualties. On a population of 2 million - half of them children. 70% of them refugees. And now, the forced movement of 1 million people. A choice of forced migration or death is ethnic cleansing. The fact that it is impossible for that many to leave in that time means that this is now a genocide.
We have gone way, way beyond wishy washy 'praying for peace', 'all life is precious' IG statements, posted to show you've done your bit of performative activism. Show you mean it. If you have any kind of platform right now, please use it. Speak. Because it's becoming glaringly obvious that the world is happy to walk into an unspeakable horror that we didn't even bother to try to prevent.’

On this 28th anniversary of Srebrenica genocide hundreds of victims are still missing and their loved ones still cannot grieve. #SrebrenicaMemorialDay#Srebrenica28
Brojni su tihi heroji borbe za istinu i pravdu. Jedan od takvih je i on. Srebrenica će pamtiti Ramiza. Našeg. Hrabrog. Vrijednog. Istrajnog. Neka ti vječni rahmet i lahka zemlja bosanska.
Danas je ulicama Sarajeva konačno pušteno u promet TAXI vozilo za osobe sa invaliditetom, a prva je uslugu koristila ova nasmijana djevojka.
Ne moram posebno naglašavati koliko sam sretna da je nakon višegodišnjeg zalaganja upravo osoba sa invaliditetom, … 1/2
Danas se Sjećamo Grabovice. Sjećamo se nevinih hrvatskih civila, koje je tamo ubila Armija BiH. Među njima i četverogodišnju Mladenku Zadro. Pucano joj je u lice. To je i moja rana.
Historijski govor ministrice odbrane Kraljevine Nizozemske Kasja Ollongern: "Međunarodna zajednica je zakazala da pruži zaštitu ljudima iz Srebrenice. I kao dio te zajednice je Vlada Nizozemske. Zbog toga,nudimo vam svoje najdublje izvinjenje."
Pridružite nam se 23. juna na panelu "Turning the tide: Brain drain to brain gain" koji se održava u okviru ovogodišnjeg programa 13. dana #BHAAAS.
Razgovarat ćemo o odlivu mozgova, o tome kako i da li koristimo potencijal ogromnih resursa koje BiH ima u mladim ljudima.
There is no better better way to start the year than marking the first success of #SuperSchools program where 6 awarded schools from Kosovo will develop youth exchanges w/ schools from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia & Serbia.
New era just started!

If one part of the region is in danger, none of us are safe, all of us are in danger. The case of #BiH should be a red alarm for everyone. We can't pretend like this is internal #BiH because it is not.
#16DanaAktivizma: "Sve dok i dalje uvjeravamo žene da se vrate nasilnicima, jer - brak je svetinja, treba ga čuvati, kako će dijete bez oca i majke skupa odrastati, a i - šta će svijet reći - boljeg položaja za žrtve neće biti. ..." Ilma Čosić, aktivistica; #16Days (11/16)
