The end of an era.
Time to create new spaces for conversation and inspiration.

[Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF]

Cherrypicking in applying the Rome Statute is incomprehensible. How can we expect third countries to enforce the ICC arrest warrant against Putin (which they should!) and then say we won’t enforce it against Netanyahu? Our credibility as a community of law is eroding.

@ramaekers_robin @BelgiumLebanon @BelgiumDefence @BelgiumMFA Ahla w sahla fikon. 🙏🏼 merci om een écht verhaal te brengen vanuit de ogen en harten van de Beiruti’s. Helaas met brute pech onderweg, doch met veel respect voor alle emoties die zich mengen in harten van mensen die belaagd worden en bedreigd door een bezettingsmacht.

Dus. Schimmige organisatie schrijft tendentieus rapport met explosieve stelling ("81% bronnenmateriaal toont antisemitische narratieven in schoolmateriaal, indoctrinatie!”)

@DoornaertMia neemt rapport als basis voor tendentieuze column in @destandaard🧵

Degoutant gewoon. Mensen worden gedood, waaronder onschuldige kinderen, ouders en hulpverleners, en Bouchez noemt dat ‘een geniale zet’.

Al dat geweld, al dat bloedverlies, het is allesbehalve lovenswaardig. De enige geniale zet is een onmiddellijk staakt-het-vuren.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Civilians are #NotATarget.
Humanitarians are #NotATarget.

An end to the hostilities in Lebanon is urgently needed.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Like the Palestinians, the Lebanese know that you are lying. Like the Palestininas, the Lebanese know that Israel's leadership is as unscrupulous as eager to expand its genocidal violence to the region in order to maintain power and advance its settler-colonial agenda. Like the Palestinians, the Lebanese know that most of the Israeli society may simply be too hurt, traumatised or indoctrinated to see any alternatives beyond living in a perpetual state of war. Like the Palestinians, the Lebanese may be wondering why you are not in the #Hague yet.

“With the region on the brink of an imminent catastrophe, it cannot be overstated enough: there is NO military solution that will make either side safer.” - @UN Special Coordinator for #Lebanon @JeanineHennis.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

People need to see this. Israel has perpetrated over 80% of the cross-border attacks with Lebanon during the past year. Hezbollah has shown remarkable restraint.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

"What we see is a genocidal state that is completely out of control and supported by a Western world that is, in large measure, too racist and Islamophobic to care."

[Brigitte Herremans @BriHerremans]

Veel trouwe verdedigers van Israëls beleid blijven vastberaden schendingen internationaal recht verdedigen & mensenrechtenverdedigers wegzetten als Hezbollah apologeten.
Ook onder jus ad bellum is aanval niet wettig: niet proportioneel tov beoogde doel om raketten te stoppen.

[Lien @LienArits]

Second day in a row #Israel terrorist attack on #Lebanon - committing war crimes as the world watches. Leaving the Lebanese with another trauma in the list of 2006, 2020, etc etc. Continuing their genocide as the world watches.

[Rami Ayari @Raminho]

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights @volker_turk on the pager attacks in #Lebanon and #Syria: "Simultaneous targeting of thousands of individuals, whether civilians or members of armed groups, without knowledge as to who was in possession of the targeted devices, their location and their surroundings at the time of the attack, violates international human rights law and, to the extent applicable, international humanitarian law. There must be an independent, thorough and transparent investigation as to the circumstances of these mass explosions, and those who ordered and carried out such an attack must be held to account."

[Lien @LienArits]

Never again for anyone.

When will world leaders stop facilitating the lies that justify a genocide?

[Marc Van Ranst @vanranstmarc]

Na het bekijken van #HetConclaaf kan je enkel
concluderen dat @pdsutter met kop en schouders boven een wel heel zielige @tomvangrieken uitsteekt.
Ik dacht vroeger dat je VB’ers beter niet uitnodigt op debatten en voor duidingsprogramma’s. Dat was verkeerd: je moet hen net zoveel mogelijk aan het woord laten: ze ontmaskeren zichzelf met een verbluffend gemak.

[Lien @LienArits]

Lebanon is actively pushing back Syrian refugees, Syrians are being beaten up in public.

By contributing to humanitarian aid we have a powerful tool in our hands to stop these human right violations. Let’s use it.

[Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib]

Lebanon is home to 250,000 Palestinian refugees and 1.5 million Syrians.

Belgium is contributing to humanitarian aid in Syria and to the reception of Syrian refugees in the region. (2/2)

[Gie Goris @GieGoris]

De uitleg van De Croo over de niet-erkenning van de Palestijnse staat was niet veel meer dan een ingewikkelde manier om te zeggen dat Bouchez (weer eens) zijn zin gekregen had.
