Even more so when I read amnesty’s post yesterday on X. Amnesty declared that the death of the two Bibas children reminds them of the urgent need to immediately release Palestinians arbitrarily detained. No condemnation of the horrific murder of almost the entire Bibas family.
For more than 35 years I was a member of amnesty international. In my youth as an active campaign supporter and later as an ordinary member. I valued amnesty‘s engagement a lot. Under it‘s new leadership it decided to take a clear position against Israel
However, Amnesty did not not equally condemn the terror by Hamas. For a long time I tried to convince myself that a human rights organization can’t be that biased. Well. I erred. As of this year I have canceled my membership. While I still have certain regrets, I don’t regret it.
The events in Gaza this morning were deeply troubling. We remember and honor the lives of Shiri, Ariel, Kfir and Oded who were brutally kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 and murdered in Gaza. May their memory be a blessing. Our thoughts are with their loved ones.
Frauen und Kinder in Gaza versammeln sich, um einer grausamen Szene beizuwohnen: Inmitten von Musik, Jubel und festlicher Atmosphäre werden die leblosen Körper eines Kleinkinds, eines Säuglings und ihrer Mutter zur Schau gestellt. Wie kann eine solche Barbarei geschehen? #BibasFamily
Liebe Deutsche,
ich weiß, ihr seid eifrig damit beschäftigt, den Faschismus – hierzulande und weltweit – anzuprangern. Das ist gut. Aber bitte vergesst nicht das Offensichtlichste, das heute Morgen vor den Augen der ganzen Welt geschieht: Juden, die allein wegen ihrer Identität seit Hunderten von Tagen in Tunneln als Geiseln gehalten werden – und die heute so aussehen wie ihre Vorfahren in Europa vor 80 Jahren.
Verweigert ihnen nicht erneut eure Empathie.
Advancing #HumanRights is based on cooperation🤝.
Our Human Rights and Rule of Law Section met with @UNHumanRights in Geneva to discuss on how to strengthen the universality of human rights and protect human rights online.
I congratulate @iijmalta for the organization of this groundbreaking event in order to enhance accountability for sexual and gender-based violence linked to terrorism and to fight for the universality🌍of women’s rights as human rights.

Gegen Antisemitismus - auch in Biel! Wie dem heute veröffentlichten Antisemitismusbericht des @SIGFSCI entnommen werden kann, sind leider auch in #Biel antisemitische Vorfälle in Form von Hassmails zu verzeichnen. Gesellschaft und Politik sind umso mehr gefordert, wachsam zu bleiben und Massnahmen zu ergreifen, um ein friedliches Zusammenleben zu gewährleisten, namentlich in Form von Prävention und Aufklärung. Biel duldet keinen Antisemitismus !
Contre l’antisémitisme - aussi à Bienne ! Comme le révèle le rapport sur l’antisémitisme de la @SIGFSCI publié aujourd’hui, des incidents antisémites sous forme de courriels haineux ont été malheureusement aussi recensé à #Bienne. Société et milieux politiques sont appelés à rester vigilants et à prendre des mesures, notamment sous forme de prévention et de sensibilisation, pour garantir une cohabitation pacifique. Bienne ne tolère pas l’antisémitisme !
