A total cop out regarding blatantly illegal aggression: "Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany said that questions about whether the American-Israeli military action in Iran conformed with international law were not appropriate at this stage." https://t.co/2L012MiEaz
Yesterday morning, we woke up to rocket alerts. Israel began bombing Iran. As often happens when the media attention shifts, Israel seized the moment to intensify its attacks against Palestinians. Here’s what happened while the world was looking the other way🧵
As Trump and Netanyahu bomb Iran, Israel closed crossings into the Gaza Strip, which are vital for the delivery of humanitarian aid and the movement of patients in need of medical evacuation. https://t.co/nPYqOyNK0n
Even if "acted to throw stones" meant that this 59-year-old farmer posed a threat to soldiers in an armoured vehicle, why did the IDF prevent medics from treating him?
The headquarters of the Unite Nations agency in charge of providing support to Palestinian refugees and contribute to the preservation of their right of return to the lands from which they have been expelled by Israel was set on fire after Israel razed it to the ground this week.
Months of relentless violence by Israeli state-backed settler militias, soldiers and police forces have achieved their goal: the last remaining families in the Palestinian community of Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja left this week.
The largest shepherding community in the southern Jordan Valley, and the last to survive, was home to about 800 people, roughly half of them children. The area has now been completely emptied of Palestinians.
Since October 2023, Israel has forcibly displaced 45 Palestinian communities in the West Bank, comprising at least 3,501 people. Another 12 communities were partially displaced, with at least 455 peopledriven from their homes.
Expelling communities and taking over tens of thousands of hectares are part of a policy of ethnic cleansing that Israel is implementing in the West Bank.
They are switching off all UNRWA facilities in the entirety of the country (schools, health centres, shelters). There are 2.5 million Palestinian refugees registered with UNRWA in the Occupied Palestinian Territory many of which receive services.
From October 2023 to December 2025, 84 Palestinians, including one minor, died in Israeli prisons. According to some reports, the full figure is higher.
Of the Palestinians known to have died in Israeli custody, 50 were from the Gaza Strip, 31 from the West Bank, and 3 citizens of Israel. Israel released only 4 of the bodies and is holding the remaining 80.
Testimonies given to B’Tselem indicate that the inhuman conditions in these facilities, including deliberate starvation, denial of medical care, severe and systematic violence, and lack of access to basichygiene, have led to the deaths of Palestinian prisoners.

Israeli is in the verge of expelling Doctors Without Borders from Gaza in part because the group’s frequent denunciations of the Gaza war as “genocidal” and accusations that Israel was committing war crimes are said to “delegitimize” the country. https://t.co/eDiOWZstcx
According to UNICEF the Israeli army destroyed 98% of schools in Gaza Strip and killed 1000 school teachers and about 20,000 school students.
633,000 school students are deprived from schooling today and Israel is not allowing school textbooks to enter Gaza.
Harder than the war itself is what we are living through now in Gaza, as if we have been left to die in silence, as if we were buried in a grave while still alive.
Kein Demokrat weint Maduro eine Träne nach. Aber wer einen so klaren wie eklatanten Bruch des Völkerrechts zur „komplexen Frage“ verharmlost, wird wohl auch dann keine Antworten mehr haben, wenn Grönland besetzt wird. Oder Taiwan.
