Godspeed to the people of Hungary today, who deserve to escape the misrule of a corrupt Kremlin lackey. May they return to the path of democracy and prosperity without bloodshed. 🇭🇺
New Israeli restrictions on international NGOs are further compromising the humanitarian operation in the #Gaza Strip.
Coming in the wake of anti-UNRWA legislation, these restrictions are part of a troubling pattern of disregard for international humanitarian law and increasing impediments to aid operations.
This is a dangerous precedent.
Failing to push back against attempts to control the work of aid organizations will further undermine the basic humanitarian principles of neutrality, independence, impartiality and humanity underpinning aid work across the world.
🇺🇦❤️💔 Churchill to Trump's Chamberlain. But that’s unfair to Chamberlain, who acted naively from best intentions, for Britain's interests. Trump and his gang know full well that they are trying to sell out Ukraine to Putin’s murderous dictatorship. And for whose interests?
Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another.
Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”
Il tweet cancellato recitava: "Riposa in pace, papa Francesco. Che la sua memoria sia una benedizione". Dal ministero degli Esteri spiegano che si tratta di una reazione "alle parole del Papa contro Israele durante la sua vita". Ieri il premier Netanyahu è stato uno dei pochi leader mondiali a rimanere in silenzio sulla morte di Bergoglio. @ultimoranet
America’s democracy was destroyed by the two ruling parties who sold us out to corporations, militarists and billionaires. Now we pay the price.

Remembering Jimmy Carter as one of the only US presidents who spoke honestly about Palestine.
“The word ‘apartheid’ is exactly accurate…much worse than they were in South Africa by way”
Goodman: Why don’t Americans know what you have seen?
Carter: Americans don’t want to know
“It is unacceptable that we are seeing more and more children caught in the crossfire. This cannot be the new normal.” - Liam Neeson, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

1/5 We are extremely concerned over the fate & wellbeing of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan hospital who was detained by Israeli forces along with others during a raid on the hospital on 27 December. He must be released immediately and unconditionally.
Stories like the Israeli commander breaking the bones of a 4 year old Palestinian child with bare hands, are a confirmation that not only the Israeli army is ROTTEN to the core, but so are all governments that allow these sickening crimes to be normalized.
Papa Francesco: “A Gaza bambini mitragliati, quanta crudeltà”
"Con dolore penso a Gaza, a tanta crudeltà, ai bambini mitragliati, ai bombardamenti di scuole e di ospedali. Quanta crudeltà". Così Papa Francesco dopo la recita della preghiera dell'Angelus
