My new brief: As the quest for a legal identities for all gathers momentum, #Rohingya accounts provide a compelling case for integrating genocide sensitivity measures into plans for the expansion, and digitization of ID systems. #Statelessness & #Genocide https://t.co/PFH9G2YF1X

Israel has been issuing demolition orders in Jenin refugee camp, in the West Bank, since 21 March. Initially, these appeared to be aiming towards established military routes through the camp in order to create a system of ‘spatial control’.

This week’s demolitions, following an order issued on 9 June, suggest ever more strongly that Israel is aiming to destroy the historic Jenin camp entirely.

[Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention @LemkinInstitute]

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security believes that the G7 leaders have demonstrated unforgivable, willful ignorance about the crime of genocide and the proper way to engage with states that are committing genocide.

The recent G7 statement on Israel’s illegal aggressive war against Iran not only fails to treat Israel as a major threat to peace and security globally, but also engages in propaganda techniques that are most commonly used by genocidal actors.

G7 leaders should know better than to guarantee impunity to Israel. If they really do not know better, if they believe their own words, they should organize immediate training for themselves and their staffs in genocide prevention. The world needs leaders -- not amateurs or ideological puppets -- making critical decisions at this dangerous time.

India’s 🇮🇳 treatment of Mohammad Arfat is not an isolated case; it reflects a broader history of abuse against Rohingya refugees and anti-Muslim sentiment by the Bharatiya Janata Party.

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

There is no internet.
No signal. No sound. No world beyond this cage.

I walked thirty minutes through ruins and dust. Not in search of escape, but for a fragment of signal, just enough to whisper, “We are still alive.”

Not because anyone is listening,
but because to die unheard is the final death.

Gaza is silent now.
Not with peace, but with obliteration.
Not a silence of stillness, but of smothering.

They severed the last cable.
No messages leave. No images enter.
Even grief has been forbidden.

I passed the corpses of buildings, of homes, of men, some breathing, some not.
All of them erased by the same hand that erased our voices.

This is not a siege of bombs alone.
It is a siege of memory: a war against our ability to say, “We were here.”

The bombing never stopped, especially in Jabalia.
They shell the streets where children beg for food.
They shell the lines where mothers wait for flour.
They shell hunger itself.

No food. No water. No exit.
And those who try, those who reach for aid, are struck down.

People die here, and no one knows.
Not because the killing paused, but because the killing of connection succeeded.

The internet was our final breath.
It was not a luxury; it was the last evidence of our humanity.

Now it is gone.
And in the dark, they massacre without consequence.

I found this faint eSIM signal as a dying man finds a flicker of flame.
I stood beneath a broken sky, risking death, not for rescue, but to send this.

A single message.
A last resistance.

If you are reading this, remember:
we walked through fire to say it.
We were not silent.
We were silenced.

And when the cables are restored,
the truth will bleed through the wires,
and the world will know what it chose not to see.

NEW INVESTIGATION: Israeli forces repeatedly attacked Gaza’s main port in the week following 7 Oct 2023. By Jan 2024, after months of continued attacks, all vessels docked in the port had been rendered non-operational, devastating Gaza’s fishing industry and increasing Palestinian dependence on foreign aid.

In #Myanmar, internet shutdowns are being weaponized against civilians, deepening the suffering of ethnic #Rohingya. These blackouts cut lifelines to safety, isolating communities already facing relentless violence and dispossession. @KT_kathywin ✍️

Thank you @officialFORSEA for publishing my piece about the @GOVUK’s inhumane decision to ban #Syrian #refugees from the UK.

It is shocking that the #government would do such a thing, especially given that the #UK is responsible for the chaos engulfing #Syria and the Middle East.

We must reverse this ban and welcome all asylum seekers as is our moral and legal duty under international law.
