@theworldweare @ProtonPrivacy That’s sounds horrible. Hope you can sort out asap

Imagine doing this to your own citizens, just so Israel can kill children…🇺🇸🇮🇱

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Israel DOES occupy the West Bank incl. east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. It does it brutally.

Israel DOES practice apartheid: e.g. it has two legal systems, civil law for Israeli settlers illegally residing in occupied territory and martial law for the Palestinians. It has used for decades to forcibly displace Palestinians while taking their lands and resources.

Does the Israeli Knesset expect Western countries to curtail costitutionally guaranteed freedoms of expression and assembly (or right to protest) so as not to scrutinise Israel’s international wrongdoings?

[Dr Myriam François @MyriamFrancoisC]

Dead children. Dead children buried under rubble. Dead babies. Dead babies. Dead children. Babies being bombed. Children with the roof collapsed on them as they sleep. Children in pyjamas burnt. Bloodied mangled babies. DONT LOOK AWAY. MAKE IT STOP!!!

It is disgraceful that European states, which claim to value human rights, have failed to intervene in any way whatsoever to stop the war crimes, massacres and mass starvation being perpetrated by the ruling classes of the United States and Israel. Disgraceful.

[eyal weizman @weizman_eyal]

One of the most horrific and heartbreaking of our investigations: hospital by hospital in Gaza targeted, put under siege, invaded…mass graves of patients, children and medical staff desparately dug in courtyards. A step by step recon. of this systematic and widespread crime.

Hundreds of UK health workers have shut down the central London headquarters of US tech giant Palantir after it was awarded a £330m contract by NHS England.

Palantir professes to be keeping the Israeli government “armed and ahead” in its ongoing bombardment of Gaza.

[Khadija @khadljasays]

We should all be terrified of this level of impunity btw. Red lines don’t exist anymore, not for us. Israel went from denying that they bombed hospitals a month ago to bombing them live on air now. World leaders have given Israel the green light from the first massacre.

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

“There are no safe spaces, and there’s no adequate humanitarian response possible under the current circumstances.” @ICRCPresident Mirjana Spoljaric recently visited Gaza and tells me “there is no street that I passed where I didn’t see houses destroyed.”

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

A list of 40 Israeli commanding officers believed to be executing and planning the assault on Gaza has been submitted to the International Criminal Court prosecutor for investigation for complicity in possible war crimes and crimes against humanity. https://t.co/TmkoHmD32e

No, Sultan Al Jaber, the #COP28 deal is not an "historic achievement". It is yet another historic failure. One step further towards Earth systems collapse.

[Lee Camp [Redacted] @LeeCamp]

The average rate of children killed in modern war is 6 to 8% of the casualties. In Gaza, it's 42%.

[Felipe Viveros @theworldweare]

“The climate challenge we face 2day is 40 billion tonnes of CO2 harder than it was last year, & around 1/3 of a trillion tonnes more difficult than at t/ time of t/ Paris Agr/. #COP28 might well h/ been appropriate if it had taken place in 2000, but in 2023 it falls far short..”

The UN Security Council is where a country that claims to uphold "democracy" and "international law" can use its veto power to override both democracy and international law.
