UNRWA says it will punish any employee who aided Hamas. Why are Western governments punishing the Palestinian civilians of Gaza by suspending funds to UNRWA at a time when Israel's bombing and siege have left them wholly dependent on humanitarian aid? https://t.co/tuada5fYa3

[Jan Egeland @NRC_Egeland]

Goodbye “good humanitarian donorship”?
Nine donors recklessly suspend funding for UNRWA in the hour of greatest need for Gazans under bombardment.
Relieved Norway is sensible and keeps funding UNRWA, that has fired all the questioned staff, and awaits the external investigation.

Neither is it the UK's finest hour.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

When it should be pressing Israel to stop the killing of Palestinian civilians, the US State Department resorts to spin, stating:
1. Israel didn't commit genocide (no ICJ finding yet that it did).
2. Israel has a right to defend itself (never contested). https://t.co/TZSsDdKlXX

Were I a South African , I would be standing tall and proud this week.

Should you be worried about being countered with accusations of anti - semitism every time you wish to voice concern about the conduct of Israel, then read this first ..

@shmfakhruddin I was, I am, and I will be,
Life is a wonder of wonders, and to wonder
I dedicate myself, on my knees, like an orphan,
Alone – among mirrors – fenced in by reflections:
Cities and seas, iridescent, intensified.
A mother in tears takes a child on her lap.
RIP Ryuichi

@CatalinaJaime2 I could not agree more.

@shmfakhruddin If communications infrastructure is down people may be reverting to pre-digital means to receive/ share information : generator powered FM radio, handwritten notice boards etc. All thoughts are with the people of Tonga.

Dr. Aditya Bahadur (@AdiBahadur) from @IIED :
“When it comes to Principle 5, the intention is to get community ground up opinions on how the climate is changing with top down scientific data...That’s exactly what DARAJA has helped achieve.”

Great piece on why nuance free , insight lite, ahistorical takes on the process behind & first week announcements at COP26 by the media are so undermining.

[James Murray @James_BG]

Have written a cathartically angry blog on all the #COP26 bad takes and why they matter. https://t.co/ov2M5ScWDq
