[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Tens of thousands tortured.
Dozens of thousands killed.
Hundreds of thousands wounded,
Many left limbless.
Countless orphans.
Nearly 2M left homeless..

And the "first and foremost" issue is the damage done to an apartheid state
by its genocidaire-in-chief?

1,500 words written in this Guardian investigation into Israel’s killing of aid workers in 2024.

Apparently there was no room to mention that a British spy flight was flying over Gaza when it happened - footage the Ministry of Defence refuses to release.

Quite the omission.

“Presence in Lebanon”

Sorry, it looks like you misspelled ILLEGAL OCCUPATION.

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

This British A400M military transport plane departed at 6.15am from RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus yesterday

15 minutes later it turned in direction of Tel Aviv - then quickly turned off its transponder

Its transponder was turned back on 1 hour and 15 minutes later coming from direction of Tel Aviv

New PM Andy Burnham sent an A400M to Tel Aviv last week ostensibly to "resupply embassy staff" in Israel. Mainstream media enforced a total blackout of the information

The A400M can carry a payload of 81,600 lbs or 116 fully equipped soldiers

It's unusual for a military transport plane to turn off its transponder in order to cover up its flight path — this is typically done by spy planes, drones, and fighter jets

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

Astonishing fact: the BBC has not broadcast an iv with Francesca Albanese since Dec '23.

Almost 3 yrs of genocide & they've not once felt the need to talk to the UN's Special Rapporteur for human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories. /1

[Yousef Munayyer @YousefMunayyer]

The plan all along is still the plan

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

His son Danny is serving in the genocidal IOF

Not one mainstream UK newspaper, which quotes him non-stop, has ever reported this fact

Propaganda by omission

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel killed a 3-year-old today and it’s barely a news story. A 3-year-old.

Killing children every day is not normal.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

A reminder of why it’s so significant that it is South Africa taking Israel to the ICJ: SA triumphed over racist apartheid with BDS playing a crucial role in its overthrow; Israel was apartheid SA’s closest ally providing weaponry, military training & nuclear know how; SA gave up its nuclear weapons; Mandela & Desmond Tutu condemned Israel’s apartheid, the latter describing it as worse than SA apartheid

BREAKING: Since @AndyBurnham became PM on 20 July, he's authorised at least 8 military planes to go from RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk to Israel

All of them, apart from one, had their operator withheld

July 24, July 28 (2), July 31, August 8, August 16, August 18, August 26

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

Andy Burnham apologised for the UK’s initial response to Gaza and promised “change”. He must now explain to the public what this flight from a British Airbase to Israel was for.

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

.@AndyBurnham sends his first UK military plane to Israel since becoming PM

This A400M flew from RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus to Tel Aviv on Wednesday. It stopped in Israel for an hour before returning to base

The A400M can carry a payload of 81,600 lbs or 116 fully equipped soldiers

Ms Rachel: “If you’re a child in Gaza you can’t fly a kite…because then you might be killed for doing these simple childhood things.”

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

“A balloon and kite shall be treated the same as a drone - with or without explosives.”

A kite…They want you to believe this is normal.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Everyone knows what happened, this is how you reported it, “found dead.”

[Dr. Kelechi Ugonna (PhD) @Ugo_KelechiPhD]

Hey @Channel4News @Channel4 , this fraud is NOT a Professor.

He was a PostDoc at Cambridge; basically, he was on a fixed-term contract. “Was”.

He’s mediocre & unable to get a permanent academic role anywhere. He’s still a PostDoc.

Correct this fraudulent misrepresentation.

[Shehab Khan @ShehabKhan]

The full quote is even more disgusting:

“I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat – there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.”

[Justin Lynch @just1nlynch]

So proud of @khoureld for this week's @FT cover story on Colombian mercenaries in Sudan and the DRC.

Democracy doesn't just die in darkness. It dies in indifference, incompetence, and self-censorship. It isn't only tech billionaires and their minions who are guilty. UN investigators and governments claim to defend human rights in Sudan while acting the opposite.

When Katharine started reporting this, I'd just left a UN body that self-censored its Sudan reporting to protect its own staff's jobs. I felt hopeless.

Then Katharine, facing layoffs, funded this investigation herself. Some people are still relentless about documenting human rights crimes.

Look for the helpers. Look for the doers. And buy the FT this weekend.

[Katharine Houreld @khoureld]

My piece on the Colombian mercenaries - and their paymasters in the Emirates - is out as the cover story of the Financial Times magazine today. It's the culmination of months of interviews and data tracking with @just1nlynch https://t.co/DRslTYCOws

“I did a leg amputation on a 5-year-old girl, and the only anesthesia that we had was the anesthesia doctor singing to her… We were praying for her to faint. She stayed awake the whole amputation.”

Absolutely devastating testimony from doctors in Gaza.
