URGENT: Family members in #Gaza City just informed us that the #Holy_Family_Church where they’ve been hiding for months has been declared a “#red_zone” by the #Israeli army. They are under #siege locked in their rooms & can’t leave the premises due to fighting in the area.

This is 7 year old Sidra, the cousin of my wife. The impact of the Israeli missile was so powerful it flung her out, leaving her mutilated body dangling from the ruins of the destroyed building in Rafah 48 hours ago. My wife’s aunt Suzan, her husband Fouzy Hassouna, two of their sons, Muhammad and Karam, Karam's wife Amouna and her three children (7-year-old twins Sidra and Suzan, and 15-month-old Malik) were all killed. The family had been displaced from the north of Gaza and took shelter in Rafah. We will be relentless until those responsible brought to justice.

A service memorial at the Rum (Greek) Orthodox Church in Antakya to commemorate those who passed away tragically a year ago in the Hatay earthquake.
The region is still recovering from the devastation.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

Mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living.

The dove is from Bethlehem, the scales of justice for everywhere & the #ICJ.

Because all live are sacred.

Thank you @naomiishisaka for using your platform to speak truth and justice. As someone with family in G*za, and a Palestinian-American it's refreshing to see someone in western media speaking out with moral clarity. Thank you for always being an ally.

I’ve intentionally only shared color photos of my father today.

It wasn’t that long ago…

And if we don’t #ShiftTheCulture, we will digress further into legislation that denies the existence of discrimination and, therefore, makes way for racist, unjust practices.

Game of Thrones stars and other actors read South Africa's case file charging Israel with genocide at the #ICJ

In a world full of cowards, Thanks for the Grandsons of Mandela 🇵🇸🇿🇦❤️

[Clayson Monyela @ClaysonMonyela]

Whatever the outcome, #SouthAfrica🇿🇦 has already scored a major victory for the #Palestinians & humanity. We've given them a voice before the highest court in the world. The evidence being presented to the #ICJ judges & to a global audience can't be ignored. #CEASEFIRE_NOW

[Noura Erakat @4noura]

This #ICJ hearing is something I visioned & imagined as a naive law student almost 20 yrs ago

Im stunned & moved beyond words it is #SouthAfrica that makes this case

Slightly less naive now, I have no illusions about their immediate impact but this is remarkable.

There are certain names of celebs & public figures who made a living/name off of being human rights & equity 'champions.' They'll be remembered for their shameful silence during this time. Trevor Noah & Amal Clooney are two of the prominent ones that come to mind.
