My piece for @theelephantinfo on breaking the silence of Israeli #settlementgoods in #Kenya, starting with wine from the occupied #golanheights brought in by #BarakaIsrael. @EatOutKenya @YummyAfrica @greenspoonke @bizbazevents @AmnestyEARO @hrw @BDSmovement @BtSIsrael

Wondering what happened to Gaza’s ceasefire? We explain what exactly was agreed upon, who broke the agreement and what comes next.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Can’t find the right word to describe the feeling of seeing talk about the ‘echoes of the Holocaust’ regarding three gaunt hostages as we watch footage of decapitated, disintegrating, mutilated Palestinian bodies being pulled out of shallow ground in the Netzarim corridor following Israeli retreat.

Horrifying footage that tells the story of the genocidal barbarity inflicted on Palestinians by the Americans & Israelis for 15 months.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

If Rashida Tlaib criticizes Israel, she’s an antisemite per the ADL.

If Elon Musk, a man with a history of antisemitic remarks, does what looks to everyone like a fascist salute, the ADL give him the benefit of the doubt and call it only an ‘awkward gesture.’

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

During the agonising wait between the Gaza ceasefire announcement and its implementation, Israel killed another 141 Palestinians, including 19 after the truce was scheduled to begin. These are the stories of the last victims before the bombing stopped.

The final question and answer is so telling. Thank you @prem_thakker for not forgetting Hind Rajab and those who were killed trying to rescue her.

Bibi is the war, the genocide, the systematic killing of innocents, the war criminal who should be jailed, not being portrayed on the cover of a magazine.

@AmnestyKenya @ReformsGroup @LawSocietyofKe @IMLU_org @DefendersKE @ICJKenya @katibainstitute @PoliceKE @IPOA_KE @HakiKNCHR @InteriorKE @OHCHRKENYA @citizentvkenya Protestors also need to respect human rights and not call for/partake in mob justice and prey on petty criminals (phone thieves). The increase in mob justice deaths should not go unnoticed and it’s the start of a descent into lawlessness.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

American Grammy-winning rapper Macklemore has released a new track, “Hind’s Hall,” which highlights the ongoing conflict in Gaza and challenges the music industry’s response, including a jab at fellow artist Drake.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Dehumanization of the Other comes in many forms and shades. For Palestinians it is not only Israeli soldiers bombing them out of existence, but it is also individual citizens destroying flour packs before they could reach starving Palestinians in #Gaza.

[Grand Bargain @GrandBargain_]

3/3 As @NRC_Egeland noted in his foreword: “Progress is slow, but sure. Many individual organisations, including some of the big players in the system, have introduced changes that would not have happened without the Grand Bargain.”
