[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

This is not the Europe I belong to. I really hope people of conscience will stand against the shameful undoing of international law that Western countries are carrying out to support Israel's genocide.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

Consider this. 6 people in plainclothes approach you, and begin to cover their faces. At least one appears armed. As they grab your phone and backpack, they do not prove who they are. They say they're going to take you, but they're not saying why.

What would you call that?

[Dalia Gebrial @daliagebrial]

There are no 'self-made' billionaires. Every billionaire is made by the rank exploitation of other people.

A wealth tax is not charity. It's the super rich being made to give us back what we are owed - what they have been allowed to take from us for far too long.

[Sarah Wilkinson @swilkinsonbc]

The israelis are targeting children: who in the world cannot see this? the list of babies alone should be enough to wake the planet up: perhaps not

[Mikaela Loach - It’s Not That Radical 📖🇵🇸 @mikaelaloach]

just found out (via The Atlantic) that Meta stole my book to train their AI. No permissions asked/granted, no compensation. They just stole my words on climate justice, liberation, anti-capitalism, white supremacy and my heartbreak over my enslaved ancestors for their AI. Gross.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

It took me over a week to read in full the Commission of Inquiry report, "More Than a Human Can Bear", detailing Israel's systemic use of sexual/gender-based violence since October 2023; I often felt physically sick. Journalists should question Government Officials on its findings and ensure they’ve read it as they continue to engage with Israel/oPt 'business as usual': many of them risk complicity in int'l crimes.

Imagine leaving your house for dinner and coming back to see settlers have taken it with the help of an occupying military. This is daily life for Palestinians under Israeli occupation.

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

An incomprehensible crime. The greatest of my lifetime.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

No Other Land depicts the horrifying violence Palestinians in the West Bank endure under apartheid.

Yesterday, its co-director Hamdan Ballal was beaten in his home by settlers before being detained by Israeli forces.

People applauded Hamdan. Now they are silent. Free Hamdan.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

27 pages. Of babies. Whose entire understanding of what Earth sounded like was bombs dropping & people screaming at the sky

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

If you justify anything which slaughters so many babies that it takes 27 pages to list their names:

Then you are an evil person.

Nothing more needs to be said

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

NEW UN REPORT: “The evidence reveals a deplorable increase in sexual and gender-based violence [since October 2023]... There is no escape from the conclusion that Israel has employed sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians to terrorise them." https://t.co/gw1vKhrDHG

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I’m sure all the people who shared NYT’s ‘Screams Without Words’ and Sheryl Sandberg’s ‘Screams Before Silence’ will be sharing this new UN report on Israel’s systematic sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinian men and women, right?
Right?

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

According to the terms of the ceasefire Israel is meant to allow 60,000 mobile homes into Gaza during the first phase. The shelters are currently piled up on the Egyptian side of the border & Israel is denying them entry. None of them have arrived in Gaza so far.

[Smooth Dunk @SmoothDunk]

guys, don’t worry. elon musk will keep u safe in the sky 🙏

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

It is terrible journalism and completely unacceptable that @BBCNews keep referring to "President Trump's plan to RELOCATE Palestinians from Gaza" when proper journalism requires them to report accurately that Trump's plan is to ETHNICALLY CLEANSE Palestinians from Gaza

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

RACISM, in all its forms, remains the prime enemy of humanity. We must confront it decisively, and prevent this era of self-indulgent idiocy from wreaking havoc on us all.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

If this was a Palestinian man who had seen & shot at 2 men who he thought were Israelis or Jews on the streets of Miami it would be the biggest news story in the US. Politicians & pundits would be falling over themselves to comment & condemn.

But Palestinian lives don’t matter.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

There are still no stories about this in NYT, BBC, Washington Post, Associated Press… Some of the world’s most well-known news agencies don’t think this is news.
