“You can’t bomb the truth away”
My full speech at Wembley Arena tonight, in London, to 12,000 people at the Together for Palestine concert, paying tribute to murdered Palestinian journalists and their bravery, and calling out the silence and complicity of Western media.
"One people enriched, one people erased."
The Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, @FranceskAlbs, presented her report "From economy of occupation to economy of genocide" to the @UN Human Rights Council.
#HRC59
The @CIJ_ICJ has been clear: trade and business with Israel's settlements are illegal and must stop.
When will the EU comply? @amnesty and 162 civil society organizations and trade unions wrote a letter to @vonderleyen 👇

Situation in the State of Palestine:
#ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I rejects the State of Israel’s challenges to jurisdiction and issues warrants of arrest for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. Learn more ⤵️ https://t.co/opHUjZG8BL
There should be no fear where there is courage, integrity and committment to justice and human rights without discrimination. The reputation of the ICC has always been at stake because of Palestine; now more than ever.

Please do everything you can to stop this. We Israelis whom oppose Netanyahu’s regime cannot stop this from within. There is no formal opposition.
Help.
Please share.
After almost 4 months of encampment, the student Palestine encampment in Dortmund were forced by German police to take down the camp and leave, and police said they would arrest me if I went there. All this just because the students had invited me to speak at their event and I had been to a pro Palestine protest in Berlin the day before that police has stormed. 1/2
I told @piersmorgan that I try and be “morally consistent” - I oppose the illegal Russian occupation of Ukraine *and* the illegal Israeli occupation of Gaza, West Bank, & Golan.
Why can’t he?
There’s no “both sides” to occupation.

Legal spoiler: Isael has no authority to suspend diplomatic status from anyone in the territory that it unlawfully occupies.
Besides: Israel has the audacity to revoke diplomatic status for a Western state who threats to abide by int'l law, while no western state has ever dared revoking the diplomatic status for Israel over decades of continuous, heinous violations of intl law.
Kein Zweifel: ohne eine Achtung des #Völkerrechts wird es keine dauerhafte Lösung des #Nahostkonflikts geben. Das IGH-Gutachten ist hierfür ein entscheidender Kompass und verlangt einen Wandel in der deutschen Völkerrechtspolitik.
Die wichtigsten Punkte: 🧵
Me: "Is killing 274 Palestinians an acceptable price to pay for the freeing of 4 Israeli hostages?"
Congressman Dean Phillips: "It's an unacceptable price but a price that has to be paid."
Me: Wow"
