The bravery of Francesca Albanese to speak the truth will be remembered throughout history as a rare example of a public servant willing to confront one of the greatest evils of our time.
There are so many brilliant, intelligent, creative, compassionate and driven people, who are passionate about making a better world—surely, together, we can?
What do we need? How can we organise better? We’re losing but we need to win—for all our sakes. This isn’t good enough.
@elonmusk Neither does the modern West possess 'civilisation' nor does it have any 'extraordinary empathy' as repeatedly demonstrated by its history of gross colonial crimes: the pillage & plunder of natural resources of the East.
Any power it has it is in order to commit global terrorism
Canada must take leadership by immediately imposing economic and travel sanctions against Netanyahu and all members of his war cabinet.
Starting this weekend, I am going to be working with civil society NGOs, Arab, Muslim and ally leadership across the country to drive this critical result.
Netanyahu and his war cabinet have become global pariahs and they need to be legally treated as such.
On Monday, the international community, through the UN Security Council, called for an immediate ceasefire. It has been ignored.
Every major independent global NGO operating in the region has declared an emergency in Gaza. 32,000 plus killed, 2 million displaced- a child is killed every 10 minutes. Famine and disease are rampant.
Yesterday, the International Court of Justice ruled for the third time against Netanyahu and his war cabinet, including that Israel has not followed any of the ICJs earlier rulings.
Despite all this, hostages are not being rescued. Negotiations have been the prevalent tool that has alleviated the pain of hostage families.
When an international actor behaves in this manner, they disentitle themselves from the privileges of the international community.
Call to action : Please retweet and forward this message across the country. Look out for more on this in the coming days. #cdnpoli
Projections show the Palestinian death toll could reach 100,000 by August if the Netanyahu government continues its current level of devastation in Gaza. This is horrific and unacceptable. We need an immediate ceasefire to save lives and stop the killing. https://t.co/hseTnAHkXW
Palestinian-American lawyer Lara Elborno "Israels an occupier.. Israel has no right to claim self defence in accordance with article51 of the UN charter with respect to attacks emanating from a territory it occupies.. there is absolutely no legal defence to committing a genocide"
Joe Biden's State Dept spokesman Matthew Miller needs to resign immediately for publicly smearing human rights expert and UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese. Calling a principaled woman "antisemitic" for doing her job is abhorrent. Miller must go.

@DecemberAndi @ecomarxi @BreeNewsome America has been proven to be the most violence-addicted nation on earth & the biggest sponsor of global terrorism.
With or without nuclear weapons.
How do we process such horror?
Youmna el-Sayed, @AJEnglish reporter, tells Swedish media she saw an 11 or 12-year-old boy coming out of an ambulance at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis:
@ShaykhSulaiman TBH Palestinian hostages are relatively safer in Israeli jails since its unlikely occupation forces would bomb their own buildings.Their families can all claim to be (involuntary)Hamas so they can get some food & shelter.Its likely they were released so Israel can genocide them.
Israel has ramped up home demolitions in Jerusalem and the West Bank under the cover of genocide in Gaza, destroying hundreds of homes and displacing at least 1,000 Palestinians since Oct 7. @AbbyMartin explains how they work:
What else is there to say?
The new arms packages include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs & 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, not to mention a whopping 25 F35 fighter jets/engines.
Everything you hear about Biden's "frustration" with Netanyahu is a smokescreen, a distraction.
We demand a fully independent investigation conducted by the @UN Security Council as well as the 17 Senators who signed the March 22, 2023 letter to President Biden into the legality of the billions for direct military aid approved by Congress and @POTUS since the start of Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza.
Sign if you agree: https://t.co/DeIohbi6rh
@graham2263@QudsNen@Israel It cannot be 'Islam' propaganda because testimonies are from Jewish eye-witnesses themselves.
Deluded are those who are Islamophobic haters who can't think for themselves.
@ecomarxi I wonder if that is because the other half of German nuclear and rocket scientists went to Russia after the war, and not because the US is so "humane." 🤔
