The US and Israel are lying through their teeth about the ceasefire deal.
Israel wants to continue its genocidal war until the very end.
Its official military objectives are impossible. So "until the very end" means: genocide.
Like all other Special Rapporteurs, I perform my duties without financial compensation to preserve my independence.
I have never got paid for anything I have done in this capacity. In the past months, I have even been subsisting on personal & family savings to dedicate all my energies to this role at a time of unprecedented urgency in the oPt. I have also waived contract fees & royalties for the book I published in 2023 & refuse payment for lectures I deliver all over the world.
My external research team is also volunteering their time to support my work. One university has fundraised for my special assistant's fellowship and so far, only received private donations to cover her travel expenses. This is known to the UN and verifiable.
UN Watch’s accusations are completely unsubstantiated and aim to distract from Israel’s ongoing genocidal campaign.
I refuse to allow my work to be diminished by any forms of intimidation. Today, like every day, I remain faithful to my mandate to find a path to dignity, justice and peace for all in Palestine.
Meanwhile: #Israel has just bombed a UN school in Gaza, reportedly killing over 40 Palestinians who were seeking shelter. And #Spain has announced that it will join South Africa's proceedings before the @CIJ_ICJ.

In France a woman is fined for wearing a keffiyeh, under the pretext it means she's participating to an "illegal protest" (even though she's alone in that "protest"...)
Like Iran's "morality police", but for a religion that sanctifies Israel's actions...

Settlers with machine guns are not civilians.
You will not come to the Middle East, steal land, cause mass suffering and expect to live in peace.
This fantasy of Zionism will not play out like in your heads.
Turns out the bomb Israel used to blow Palestinian babies' heads off and burn the skin off people sleeping in tents in Rafah was a GBU-39 manufactured by Boeing. Same Boeing who had a door blow off a plane midflight and who absolutely DID NOT KILL those two whistle-blowers who said their planes were unsafe. Soo..... take your chances on their planes but we know for shit sure their bombs work.
The Biden administration has sent 3000 small diameter GBU-39 bombs to Israel since 2021
In late 2023, the Biden admin urged Israel to use these "smaller bombs" to reduce civilians casualties
This week, Israel used them to behead children and burn refugees alive in Rafah
White House: “Nobody was asking me about red lines a week or so ago when there were other airstrikes in Rafah that didn't cause civilian casualties.”
Last month I asked about Rafah strike that killed 17 kids, 2 women + a man, his pregnant wife, their 3-year-old kid.
No response.
▪️They told us to lockdown and socially distance while they held private parties.
▪️They told us to save the planet while they flew to climate summits in private jets.
▪️They told us that there was no magic money tree while they spent our tax money on wars and housing migrants in hotels.
▪️They told us that there was a cost of living crisis while they gave themselves a pay rise and we paid our taxes to fund their subsidised meals and energy costs in their second homes.
▪️They warn us of water shortages despite 7 months of incessant rain and water companies selling off reservoirs.
▪️They warn us of energy shortages despite Britain having one of the worst gas storage capacities in Europe.
▪️They warn us of food shortages while they undermine farmers with restrictive policies that risk food production and their livelihoods.
▪️They constantly create new ways to monitor and surveil us, yet they are the ones who should be monitored.
Our government is gaslighting us.
@rubanga_a @THEJamesWhale You emasculated them and rightly so Fiona. They cut you off because you were prepared to draw attention to their hypocrisy. Only cowards react that way to sharp scrutiny. Bravo
@TalkTV@THEJamesWhale@virtualash @rubanga_a You only kicked her off the show because she called you out on your lies and couldn’t bear for your listeners to have her spell out exactly why you’re hypocrites. Your egos are brittle and you were emasculated by a teenage girl 😂
Tel Aviv tonight: over calling for a hostage deal and for the government to resign. Polls show most Israelis are in favor of stopping the war. The government won't let that happen.
