🛑 Anthropologists, historians, and intellectuals, including many jews and holocaust survivors, are comparing now the atrocities committed by the Apartheid regime of Israel during the ongoing Genocide, with 1940s Germany, regarding especially 10 horrific simultaneous premeditated acts done in just 7 months:

1- Dehumanizing propaganda and lies (example of the fake 30 babies story on October 7 investigated and uncovered by CNN and debunked by Israeli press themselves among others).

2- The killing, burning, or burying alive of 15 000 of real babies and children, with in addition using prohibited chemical weapons like white phosphorus, and drones playing crying baby sound…

3- Starvation and extermination of people based on their ethnicity, skin color or religion, while they were putted into a concentration camp, which is Gaza, with a totally controlled siege and illegal blockade for years (open-air prison).

4- Theft of native people's land and homes and selling them to US & EU settlers, colonization, domination, ethnic cleansing, racism, violence, discrimination, forced displacement, inhumane treatment of detainees, armed checkpoints, and obvious complete destruction of infrastructure and facilities.

5- Unprecedented mass executions by dropping thousands of tons of bombs and missiles on such concentrated population, causing permanent damage to the injured, such as deformities and disabilities, along with the environmental risks resulting from the release of toxic radiation, and the presence of graves with clear signs of torture.

6- Flour Massacres targeting unarmed palestinians seeking food, and shootings on innocents with white flag or in declared « safe zones ».

7- Intentional targeting and killing of international aid workers, ambulances (shocking example of the assassination of 6-year-old Hind Rajab and the rescue team that she called), doctors, 143 journalists, and annihilation of healthcare system, note that experienced war surgeons are reporting apalling injuries unseen before.

8- Disregard for all the global authorities, conventions, human rights and laws.

9- Pillaging or destroying homes, hospitals, universities, schools, churches, mosques, cultural sites heritage, and even UN buildings, with recorded mockery by the IDF.

10- Extensive worldwide documentation, proof, videos, images, articles, interviews, testimonies, names, and online live streaming of all these indisputable facts that the whole world is witnessing !

Don't be distracted. Don't look away. Let's stick to these evidence. We will never forget. We will never stop sharing. It’s not a political or religious question here, it’s a matter of HUMANITY & FREEDOM. Never again means never again for anyone.

And always remember that Palestinians have a recognized right under international law to resist Israeli occupation under Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions. This right is affirmed in the context of the right of self-determination of all peoples under foreign and colonial rule.

BRISMES stands against the #scholasticide in #Gaza. We are appalled by the way that the destruction of Gaza’s education system is being celebrated by Israeli soldiers.

[Daniella Modos - Cutter -SEN @DmodosCutter]

Gilles Devers is one of the most veteran lawyers in France, who in just 10 days gathered an army of lawyers from all the continents of the world to prosecute Israel for its war crimes against the Palestinians.

Lawyer Giles Devers is promising the Israeli occupation with a dark fate and says to the Palestinians: "You did not have anyone to defend you, but now you have an army to defend you in international and national courts."

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

I'm appalled by how many otherwise decent people see nothing wrong with this mediaeval slaughter of a trapped and penned civilian population- even as both the IDF and the Biden administration say that the actual casualties are likely far higher than the 10,000+ dead posted by the the Gaza Health Authority.

"Fistfights break out in bread lines. Residents wait hours for a gallon of brackish water that makes them sick. Scabies, diarrhea and respiratory infections rip through overcrowded shelters. And some families have to choose who eats” - ⁦Gaza @AP⁩

To obsess about Pro-Ceasefire protesters using a phrase "from the River to the Sea" that also exists in the Likud Founding Charter, and which has been used for half a century as the justification for a programme of illegal Israeli settlements which are now making a just peace almost impossible, but at the same time to remain completely sanguine, and silent, about the actual hour by hour, block by block massacre of innocent children, surely represents a total loss of all moral bearings.

[Clare Daly @ClareDalyIRL]

Israel has spent a month pounding Gaza into rubble and filling the streets with children's blood. With European and American weapons, and European and American support. Still @vonderleyen cannot even say the word: "ceasefire." This isn't just Israel's genocide. It's Europe's too.

[Clare Daly @ClareDalyIRL]

My name is Clare Daly and I´m an MEP from #Ireland. I'm appalled by the silence regarding war crimes committed by Israel in #Gaza. I, and many with me, demand a ceasefire and the provision of immediate humanitarian aid, water, food and medicine to Gaza now! #politiciansforpeace

[Hend Amry @LibyaLiberty]

Bookmark this, share this, keep it as a handy reference for the next time someone denies genocide, or claims the Israeli government isn’t trying to wipe Gaza off the map.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I have written to the Prime Minister to express my growing distress over his continued refusal to call for a ceasefire.
