Happy to start my Monday morning by reading my colleague Awfa's powerful interview on women's activism in #Yemen. Includes your daily reminder that aid for supporting women's rights should go to properly & flexibly funding local women's orgs and activists! https://t.co/SgoZAJT59M

Gallant is ordering a massive war crime (ICC 8(2)(b)(xxv)) & very likely a crime against humanity (ICC 7(1)(b), 7(2)(b) [extermination] / 7(1)(k) [inhumane acts]). Presence of combatants w/in a civ. population does not affect its civ. character (AP I 50(3)). ICC has jurisdiction.

Imagine the strength it takes to speak your truth in front of reps of the regimes that targeted you with CWs and 1000s of indiscriminate attacks, starved, besieged and forcibly displaced you.

As Lubna says, Syrians have told these stories, they need the worlds courage to act!

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

42 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli occupation forces in the occupied West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip since the beginning of 2023.

Here are the names and ages of the 42 innocent children 💔🇵🇸

🚨Harmful policy change🚨

Until last month, refugee women had 28 days to find new accommodation after being granted their status and given notice to leave their Home Office provided accommodation.

The Government have reduced this to just 7 days.

Rightly Western arms sales and the blockade of Yemen have gained international attention but they are not the whole story of the war. @Albaraa_Mansour 's film captures the Siege of Taiz and Yemenis striving to build peace

A new visual by @visualizingpal in partnership with @AlShabaka and @BADIL_Center is a tool for Palestinian civil society organizations that are engaging with donors toward the creation of less harmful, more liberatory funding models

Our team were highly affected by the earthquake, some have lost their homes. They've been forcibly displaced in the last years, and we're devastated, seeing them displaced again. Spread the campaign: #EarthquakesKnowNoBorders for immediate International action

[BRISMES @OfficialBrismes]

The report has a number of methodological errors that make it inaccurate, a threat to academic freedom on the question of Palestine and a missed opportunity to advance anti-racism amongst students.

Escalating terrorism by Jewish settlers, enabled & often joined by the IDF, targeting Palestinians - people, their homes, cars, business land, animals - is raging across the West Bank. This thread will pull together recent video/pix. Nobody can saw they didn't know.
