More than 1,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the so-called ceasefire came into effect. The IDF is killing an average of four people a day during the "ceasefire."

Francesca Albanese has been sanctioned for doing her job and demanding an end to the Genocide in Palestine. The EU has failed to protect her, the UN has failed to protect her.

In this video message .@FranceskAlbs updates us on the current state of affairs regarding the US imposed sanctions on her and the ongoing legal battle in the US to have them removed.

Please watch and share Francesca´s update on the Court Case and continue raising awareness about our petition to pressure the EU to do its job!

Israel just killed another baby: 7-month-old Sam. He joins my 14 nieces & nephews, and over 20k Palestinian children.

We’re told they were mistakes, collateral damage, or human shields.

This video will show you that this is a lie. Israel wanted to kill these children.

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

New footage obtained by B’Tselem uncovers the moments when the Abu Haikal family was shot. Seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was killed in the shooting, and both his parents were injured. The footage clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at the car as it was slowing to a stop. The car was far from the soldiers and posed no danger to them whatsoever.

Moments later, in another video obtained by B’Tselem, seven-month-old Sam’s father, Fahed, is seen just after his son was shot. Fahed is holding baby Sam in his arms, trying to stop the bleeding from his head with his hands, while Sam’s mother, Daniyah, who was also injured by the gunfire while holding her son, is seen sitting on the ground, next to the car.

Last Friday, 5 June, an Israeli soldier fired at a Palestinian family driving home from a family visit, as they sat in their car in the Tel Rumeidah neighborhood in Hebron. The family was shot as the car was slowing to a stop at the soldier’s command. Sam, a seven‑month‑old baby who was in his mother’s arms in the back seat, was struck in the head and pronounced dead shortly afterward. Sam’s parents were also injured by the gunfire; his mother is still in the hospital. After the shooting, the soldier who fired and another soldier who was with him left the scene without checking the car or offering any assistance to the critically wounded baby or to his mother.

In the past two and a half years, Israel has killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza and the West Bank. The immunity it gets from the international community has led to a reality where, under Israeli rule, Palestinian lives are entirely disposable – even a seven‑month‑old baby.

We stopped hearing about hostage crisis in Israel & Palestine because 100% of the remaining hostages are Palestinian .... being tortured, raped & starved to death.

If Israel was created in Alaska, no Palestinians or Arabs would've objected!

The issue is NOT Jewish statehood, the issue is building a state on top of OUR land, stealing OUR homes, properties, assets, farms, culture, & olive trees then caging us in concentration camps!

‘No one in this country thinks you can’t criticise Israel.’
‘Well I just got banned for it.’

@cenkuygur who was blocked from entering the UK by the Home Office, believes he should have used 'tougher' language to criticise the Israeli government.

[Breaking the Silence @BtSIsrael]

He’s not supposed to. The system's designed so the IDF aligns itself with settlers, even the most violent ones. It's become more visible in recent years, as soldiers have repeatedly backed terror against Palestinians, but we got testimonies showing it’s been this way for decades:

[Hanan Ashrawi @DrHananAshrawi]

In a mad rush to create facts on the ground to preempt any “ceasefire,” Israel has carried out raids & incursions to ethnically cleanse the south of Lebanon, pushing up to the north of the Litani River & committing horrific massacres. In Gaza , it has occupied 60% of the highly congested Strip & has declared its intention to occupy 70%, constantly bombing & massacring the totally defenceless Palestinian population held captive in a concentration camp under full Israeli control. Ethnic cleansing is on the agenda. In the West Bank, Israel has turned each city, town, village & camp into an isolated Bantustan, surrounded by checkpoints & at the mercy of merciless armed settlers carrying out pogroms & systematic terror campaigns, funded, aided, & protected by the Israeli government & army. Israel’s plan to annex the West Bank is being implemented in plain sight through demographic & territorial engineering & a systematic settlement & infrastructure expansion & theft of land & resources. The impunity that this rogue state has been granted, primarily by the West, along with US blind support & cynical collusion will continue to generate criminality, violence, & global instability. The Zionist enterprise must be brought to an end before it’s too late.

💢 Six-year-old girl and a woman killed in Israeli attack on tent in Khan Younis

The United States continues to facilitate Israel’s daily killing of Palestinian civilians, through full military and political support as Israel ignores the Trump-brokered ceasefire.

Minattallah Nabil Abu Libdah, 6, was killed Monday in an Israeli attack on a tent in Khan Younis in southern Gaza. She had reportedly been recovering from a broken arm at the time of her death. Footage shows her father crying uncontrollably at the hospital next to her lifeless body.

A second person, 31-year-old woman Hanan Mahmoud, was also killed in the Israeli attack, according to reporting by Mosab Abu Toha.
