👉 How many condemnations or protests to the American government were made?

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
The moment the tents of displaced people were bombed in the southern Gaza Strip, in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, killing more than 500 civilians.
A video that the world must never forget.
Today, an Israeli soldier arbitrarily closed the checkpoint, preventing Palestinians from reaching their homes. Teachers, workers, students, were all blocked from moving freely.
These restrictions are part of a system of military occupation and apartheid that makes daily life unbearable and pressures Palestinians to leave their homes for the benefit of expanding settlements.
Dr Mo. Gaza doctor in Australia on consequences of AHPRA decision - Michael West
All the way with IHRA then.
Once upon a time doctors walked out of NSW hospitals and the Premier had to back down. Health workers have a lot of clout. https://t.co/hy8XsFM298
THIS IS SATANIC ✡️🇮🇱
An Israeli soldier throws a stun grenade into a car carrying a Palestinian family, trapping them inside to absorb the blast.
Reports confirm one of the children inside is now permanently blinded for life.
🚨 🇦🇺Australian federal police at investigating a citizen who joins an Israeli terrorist organisation the IDF and committed war crimes.
The only reason he got caught is he posted the war crime on his own facebook.
It’s not illegal for Australians to commit genocide in Gaza by joining Israel but it should be. They should not walk among us.
‘The scale and rate at which Palestinian children in Gaza were killed and injured is without precedent in modern conflicts worldwide, according to the commission, making the coastal enclave “the most dangerous place in the world to be a child.”’ https://t.co/KYYWHwRoEL
I have asked permission to share an excerpt of an email from Prof Mazin Qumsiyeh, Founder, and (volunteer) Director
Palestine Museum of Natural History,
Palestine Institute of Biodiversity and Sustainability
Bethlehem University, Occupied Palestine
‘"Our neighbor in the camp, his wife was killed about a year ago while going with him to receive American aid. For the past three days, I've felt like I can hear her voice inside the tent, but I was afraid to dwell on the thought or let my mind race, so I ignored it. Yesterday, it happened again.
While we were sitting down to coffee today, I decided to confide in him: "I'm sorry, Abu Issa, but lately, at night, when everyone is asleep, I hear Umm Issa laughing and calling to the children, and I don't understand why this is happening to me." I was shocked when I didn't see any surprise on his face. He smiled and said, "Oh, my friend, that's my daughter, Soso.
Before she goes to sleep, she keeps playing this video of her mother on her phone and falls asleep to it." Honestly, I didn't know what to say or how to comfort him. I took my coffee cup and looked at Soso, who wasn't far from us, playing hopscotch with her friends. I drank the whole cup silently, cursing everything, cursing this world that demands this child be normal during the day amidst this carnage, then leaves her at night to collapse alone without her mother." [Note: there is no privacy in the tent cities in Gaza, everyone hears everyone]’
When an apartheid state does evil things I will criticize it.
Tell me I'm not allowed to criticize the apartheid state and I'll criticize it even more.
Use state power to stomp out criticism of the apartheid state and I'll make criticism of the apartheid state my full-time job.
JCA’s Sarah Schwartz tells the Royal Commission that she’s contacted every day by Jews “terrified of speaking out” to criticise Israel or to support Palestinians, in fear of being abused or vilified.
Says Israel ‘shields itself from a lot of criticism’ by claiming to be victim💥
US lawyer and antiwar activist Dan Kovalik just had his devices seized and was interrogated by counter-terror police at Liverpool Airport
Meanwhile, Palestine solidarity activist Sarah Wilkinson is heading to trial on terrorism charges for a couple of Twitter posts, and refusing to give police her mobile pin
The Canary, one of the UK’s most doggedly antiwar independent media outlets, was just debanked by Lloyd’s
The UK recently refused entry to Hasan Piker and Cenk Uyghur, two of the most recognizable voices of the left wing of the US Democratic Party, on national security grounds
It did the same this month to US journalist Jeremy Loffredo
UK counter terror police detained and interrogated my colleague, Kit Klarenberg, seizing his devices, and grilling him about his investigative journalism. PM Keir Starmer’s Labour Together slush fund even hired a private intel firm to smear Kit and The Grayzone.
UK police raided journalist Asa Winstanley’s home and illegally seized his devices on suspicion of “encouragement of terrorism”
The UK Crown Prosecution Service attempted to prosecute journalist Richard Medhurst under the Terrorism Act, but failed
The list of journalists and activists repressed by the British regime goes on and on. And they have one thing in common: outspoken opposition to Israel’s genocidal agenda.
Who’s actually in charge in London?
@swilkinsonbc FM Wong @SenatorWong is Australia still supplying F-35 fighter parts to Israel?
Siwar’s family deserves an answer.
The Australian people demand to know.

"Ne ödemelerimi yapabileceğim kredi kartım çalışıyor ne havale yapabiliyorum; sağlık sigortam iptal edildi, otellere rezervasyon yapamıyorum. Kendimi Pablo Escobar gibi hissediyorum. Bunların hepsi, 'Gazze'de İsrail soykırım yapıyor' dediğim için."
