مسرحيات لم تبصر النور، سهرات في شقّة الوردية، ��ملة انتخابية قبل الحفلات… في ما يشبه نصّاً مسرحياً من مقدّمة ومشاهد وخاتمة، يعرض بول أشقر قصصاً جمعته وزياد، قبل أن تمحوها الذاكرة.

Contrary to reports in the media, the Israeli Government does not own or have rights to the property that houses @UNRWA's Sheikh Jarrah compound in East Jerusalem.

The Israeli Government's claims are false & illegal. There has never been a transfer of property.

UNRWA has leased the land from the Government of Jordan since 1952. It is now being seized in blatant breach of international law.

The International Court of Justice & @UN General Assembly have determined that Israel's presence in East Jerusalem is illegal & must end as rapidly as possible.

Israel has no sovereign rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory & the application of its laws there is unlawful.

The execution of Palestinian paramedics by Israel was intentionally made public because Israel needs to perform it's Western endowed impunity as a spectacle.

Let it be remembered that despite some of the worst barbarity and depravity in modern history, Palestinians remained steadfast out of love for themselves and their country

The ICC’s issuing of international arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders on the suspicion they committed the crimes of starvation, persecution, and intentionally directing an attack against civilians is one of the lowest points in Israeli history.

Unfortunately, all we know about the conduct of Israel in the Gaza Strip over the past year - which was conducted with the knowledge and the direction of the prime minister and the ministerial cabinet – it isn’t surprising that the evidence indicates that Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant are responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Personal accountability for decision-makers is a key element in the struggle for justice and freedom for all human beings living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, all states parties to the court must respect the Pre-Trial Chamber’s decision and enforce the warrants.

B'Tselem and other organizations have warned for years that the Israeli apartheid regime inherently involves severe human rights violations. During the past year, these violations have intensified to unimaginable dimensions. The Israeli government’s policy has resulted in tens of thousands of civilians killed, hundreds of thousands of civilians starved and the horrific suffering of millions.

Israel’s ability to kill 500+ Lebanese people in 24 hrs and wage genocide in Gaza is made possible ONLY through the military backing & diplomatic cover the Biden-Harris administration provides. Those claiming it’ll be easier to end this massacre under a Democratic government are failing to that now.

Germany has decided to intervene as a third party in the ICJ Genocide Case of South Africa v Israel. That means they will put forward substantive arguments for the main hearing. SR Health's response rightfully reminds Germany of its own genocidal history.

International media now realize what has been obvious in Lebanon for weeks: Issam Abdullah and his colleagues were intentionally targeted. The fact that Israel targeted groups of journalists again on two occasions, killing two more, proved this: https://t.co/9VjzAtyZA7

The Israeli occupation destroys the central archive of #Gaza municipality, executing thousands of historical documents, and deliberately razing all life forms; erasing the city and its #history. It is worth noting that the archive holds #documents more than a hundred years old.

One of the finest journalist/historians @nickturse on #Kissinger:
"Kissinger helped prolong the Vietnam War and expand that conflict into neutral Cambodia; facilitated genocides in Cambodia, East Timor, and Bangladesh; accelerated civil wars in southern Africa; and supported coups and death squads throughout Latin America. He had the blood of at least 3 million people on his hands, according to his biographer Greg Grandin."

“Nothing happens by accident,” said another source. “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed."
