“It bears repeating, 4 out of 5 people in the world in famine, or a catastrophic type of hunger, are in Gaza right now.” - Lawyer Blinne Ni Ghralaigh before the ICJ yesterday.
Correction @JustinTrudeau: Israel doesn't have the “right to self-defence” against a non-state actor under its occupation (art. 51 of UN Charter). And parties engaging in war must adhere to IHL principles protecting civilians. There is no justification for genocide.

Woke up this morning and my @instagram account is not functioning. Clearly shadow banned due to posting video of Al Aqsa being attacked. Nothing inflammatory about what I said at all. Unbelievable.
