المصورة في وكالة فرانس برس، كريستينا عاصي تحمل الشعلة الأولمبية برفقة المصور ديلان كولينز.
بترت ساق كريستينا وأصيب ديلان جراء استهداف إسرائيل تجمعاً للصحفيين في علما الشعب في أوكتوبر، وأدى الاستهداف حينها إلى استشهاد المصور في وكالة رويترز عصام عبد الله وإصابة زملاء آخرين.
"If you have anti- #domesticviolence laws, reporting mechanisms and shelters - that are unmatched in #Iraq - why are so many women and girls killed in such horrific ways across #Kurdistan Region? What is stopping them from accessing these services?"
That was my first question when this research began in March 2023 . Today we have issued the answer in this @amnesty report:

انتخابي رئيسا لمحكمة العدل الدولية مسؤولية كبرى في تحقيق العدالة الدولية واعلاء القانون الدولي. وأول ما يحضر إلى ذهني ايضاً في هذه اللحظة هو همي الدائم ان تعود مدينتي بيروت، أماََ للشرائع كما هو لقبها، وان ننجح كلبنانيين في إقامة دولة القانون في بلادنا وان يسود العدل بين أبنائه.
Namibia rejects Germany’s Support of the Genocidal Intent of the Racist Israeli State against Innocent Civilians in Gaza
On Namibian soil, #Germany committed the first genocide of the 20th century in 1904-1908, in which tens of thousands of innocent Namibians died in the most inhumane and brutal conditions. The German Government is yet to fully atone for the genocide it committed on Namibian soil. Therefore, in light of Germany’s inability to draw lessons from its horrific history, President @hagegeingob expresses deep concern with the shocking decision communicated by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany yesterday, 12 January 2024, in which it rejected the morally upright indictment brought forward by South Africa before the #InternationalCourtofJustice that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza.
Worryingly, ignoring the violent deaths of over 23 000 Palestinians in Gaza and various United Nations reports disturbingly highlighting the internal displacement of 85% of civilians in Gaza amid acute shortages of food and essential services, the German Government has chosen to defend in the International Court of Justice the genocidal and gruesome acts of the Israeli Government against innocent civilians in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Germany cannot morally express commitment to the United Nations Convention against genocide, including atonement for the genocide in Namibia, whilst supporting the equivalent of a holocaust and genocide in Gaza. Various international organizations, such as Human Rights Watch have chillingly concluded that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza.
President Geingob reiterates his call made on 31 December 2023, “No peace-loving human being can ignore the carnage waged against Palestinians in Gaza”. In that vein, President Geingob appeals to the German Government to reconsider its untimely decision to intervene as a third-party in defence and support of the genocidal acts of Israel before the International Court of Justice.
I think it's important to situate the Genocide Convention and South Africa's case within socio-legal context in which they operate. I think it will help explain the dissonance between people's excitement at South Africa's arguments and my more cautious view🧵
For the first time in my life, it feels like there is a ‘global community,’ and it’s the opposite of what the West thinks it is.
The resistance against Western hegemony and oppression is the global community—and it includes many of their own citizens.
.@bbc presenter: why did the Houthis got involved when you are not located near Gaza?
Al-Houthi: “So Biden and Netanyahu live in the same apartment? And the French president lives on the same floor? And the UK prime minister lives in the same building? Or are they thousands of miles away from Israel?”

When me and @NotHamudy asked him about what he remembers most - he broke down. He began naming patients one by one. Visibly shaken from what he had witnessed. You can see the horror in his eyes.
“شعور مأساوي أن تفاضل بين من يعيش ومن يموت من الجرحى”..
بعد خروج 16 مستشفى عن العمل جراء الاستهداف الإسرائيلي المباشر، سألنا دكتور غسان أبو ستة: ما هي نقطة اللاعودة للمستشفيات في قطاع غزة؟
شاهدوا ماذا قال:
Details of the Israeli assault on Lebanese civilians. Two cars were traveling on the road; the first belonged to Samir Ayoub (a journalist from the town of Ainata), and the second, which was hit, was driven by Huda Hijazi (Samir's niece from the town of Blida, and she was accompanied by her mother and her three children.
Amnesty International Researcher Budour Hassan says it's "striking" how Gazans are "treated as nameless, faceless."
She adds: "Egypt has to allow a safe passage, especially for the wounded."
🔎 @Amnesty has verified 6 videos of an attack on 13 October 2023, resulting in civilian casualties along Salah-Al Deen street, a route the Israeli army had designated as safe for civilians to flee after an Israeli ‘order’ told them to leave northern #Gaza.
This is @GhassanAbuSitt1, a surgeon who is currently saving the lives of Palestinians in a hospital in Gaza. He's just reported that counter terrorism police have showed up at his house in the UK and harrased his family.
Al Jazeera: video footage of a march in #London, following calls to "march in solidarity with the Palestinian people, under bombardment by #Israel and to demand an end to the violence and Israel's occupation of Palestine."
