URGENT! For any country where (from Italy to Thailand or Brazil) possible war criminals go on holiday and R&R. 🇮🇱 soldiers must be investigated, evidence assessed, and responsibility determined through DUE PROCESS.
This is not incitement to commit violence. It is accountability.
Israeli lawyer Ben Marmarelli says Palestinian prisoners he represents beg him not to visit because they're raped each time he is due to meet them.
This is a scene from Al Jazeera's shocking new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape.
My old account, which I created in 2007, when Twitter first launched, has been permanently deleted. Trying to recover it, since it was not meant to be deleted, but till then, find me here: @aseisfree
Israel is running a network of torture camps for Palestinians. Our reports, Welcome to Hell and Hell on Earth, extensively documented a reality of extreme violence, starvation, and torture.
Now, in a major @nytimes investigation, journalist @NickKristof published terrible testimonies concerning sexual violence and the use of sodomy as a tool of interrogation and humiliation by Israeli forces.
Palestinian prisoners are subjected to severe violence, deliberate humiliation, starvation, sleep deprivation, denial of medical care, and abuse in every facility where they are held.
These abusive practices are fully backed by the political leadership, which openly boasts about the harsh prison conditions. Some inmates are subjected to severe sexual assaults.
At least 88 Palestinians have died in Israeli detention facilities since October 2023 as a result of inhumane conditions, violence, starvation, and the denial of medical treatment.
Despite the extensive evidence, media investigations, and reports issued by Israeli and international organizations documenting torture in Israeli prisons, the international community continues to stand by and allow Israel to commit crimes against the Palestinian people.

WOW!
@Theintercept reviewed more than 12000 print articles and 5000 TV segments to check for biases on Israel-Palestine.
I thought it would be bad.
I had no idea it was THIS bad.
No wonder Gaza killed what little credibility mianstream media had.
In NYT, Israel's right to defend itself was invoked 99 times. Only once for Palestine.
On CNN and MSNBC, it was invoked 755 times for Israel. But only 8 times for Palestine.
Emotive words such as slaughter and massacre were used frequently when Israelis had been killed. They were NEVER used in print when Palestinians were killed.
In Ukraine, 262 children were killed in the war, and it was mentioned 4223 times.
In Palestine, more than 10,000 children were killed, but it was mentioned only 3632.
The full article is in the subtweet. It's a MUST READ:
Failure to suspend Israel from Eurovision, as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza, unlawful occupation and apartheid against Palestinians, is an act of cowardice and double standards. #HumanityMustWin

Imagine these were two blindfolded Israeli women.
Imagine Hamas militants had taken this picture.
Imagine those women had then disappeared.
Imagine the deafening outrage and denunciations of Hamas’ evil.
So where is the deafening outrage here?
"There are literally hundreds or thousands of people who have just vanished... and many of them have been last seen in the presence of Israeli troops."
@AlexCrawfordSky tells me about the newsroom-wide effort to trace the last known movements of a mother and daughter in Gaza who were last seen alive in Israeli military custody.

“There’s no peace in the Middle East bc Palestinians refuse to believe in the Torah. The Torah says it’s our [Jews] land. And that’s why America must always stand with Israel.”
Wow. He just came right out and said it.
@vonderleyen@Keir_Starmer You are so afraid of mentioning US your master who started or hurt the feeling of Netanyahu and his far right genocidal settlers. This war can end if EU has nalls to sanction Israel the real aggressor and hegemon in the region but you live in Trump’s “alternative facts” world
More guidance for foreign news desks. Memo 3.
Things are slipping again. Correspondents please note the following:
1) Lebanon is a country, even though majority Muslim. It includes ‘south Lebanon’. Another country setting up a ‘security zone’ there is called ‘an invasion.’
👇
@eucopresident@Isaac_Herzog Who started the war? Why no solidarity with the people of Lebanon and Iran? EU is becoming unapologetically a racist institution. This was a war of choice by Trump and Netanyahu and Europe will pay the biggest price from the fall (energy, supply chains, refugee crisis)
Trump’s retribution against Albanese should concern far more than those focused on Israel’s human rights record. It should trouble anyone who believes in free speech.

@shashj@owenjonesjourno You are a Zionist megaphone serving the proud Zionist owners and editors of “The Economist”. But worse you are part of the PR that allowed genocide to occur and continue. But I know you have no shred of humanity and digibity in you to see Palestinian children as worthy of life.
Have you ever apologised for this, @shashj?
Or explained why you falsely claimed there was “first-hand evidence”?
This isn’t a minor mistake.
The grotesque lie that Israeli babies were beheaded was used to justify slaughtering countless actual Palestinian babies.
The latest trend among Israeli youth is to call their parents and mockingly ask for donations for the children of Gaza and record their parents' vile reactions.
Why do Western states not ask themselves how the region is supposed to co-exist securely with a society like this?
@geertwilderspvv You are not only a supremacist racist. You are a monster full of hate and extreme barbaric violence. We all know who represents barbarism and who will be in the trash of history along Hitler. Be proud of your war criminal friend because you are a just a nazi war criminal.
