World leaders are doing absolutely nothing while Zionists blow kids to pieces in Gaza. Silence is immoral. Where are the feminist, wellness, spiritual & trauma informed gurus now? Is brown skin not worth anything to you? Don't bypass this. Wake up. Speak up! #StopGazaGenocide
As we approach a critical UN resolution vote we need more than “high level diplomacy,” we need high level morality that President Biden, his administration, and far too many members of the Democratic Party are severely lacking…yes, even certain “progressives.” Israel’s war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide against Palestinian people and precious children must end immediately. The U.S. must not veto any resolution calling for an immediate and unequivocal Ceasefire or otherwise water it down to appease the State of Israel and exacerbate the Biden Administration’s complicity with the execrable conditions in Gaza.

The UN has reported that half of the people in #Gaza are now starving- more than a million children, women & men & 90% do not have daily food. Israel’s forced starvation of #Gaza is the latest in a long catalog of genocidal crimes. The well of evil of this regime is bottomless.
Israel’s dependence on the United States was stated bluntly by retired IOF Maj. General Yitzhak Brick in an interview earlier this week:
“All of our missiles, the ammunition, the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it’s all from the US. The minute they turn off the tap, you can’t keep fighting. You have no capability. … Everyone understands that we can’t fight this war without the United States. Period.”

EU diplomat tells me that given the pace of bombing, without the US replenishing Israel's arsenal, Israel would have to end the war within days.
So Biden is directly responsible for the deaths of Gaza civilians, particularly since he bypasses Congress to rush weapons to Israel.

If Aryeh Yitzhak King, Jerusalem Deputy Mayor, truly called for "bulldozers" to be "given the order to cover all these hundreds of ants, while they're still alive", does anyone need further proof that Israeli officials now feel free openly to call for CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY?
This raised hand will be etched into the annals of history, inscribed on the page of disgrace.
This compromises the integrity of the #UNSC, which should be an instrument for peace, operating within the framework of Int'l Law rather than working against it.
I think that I need to learn more languages because I already used all the vocabulary in Arabic and English to express how am I feeling.. like I want to express more but I can’t find any words strong enough..
Why did Amb. Wood say that Hamas had attacked "our people" and not the Israeli people? An innocent mistake? An inability to distinguish between the US and Israel? Or did the speech writer simply copy-paste Israeli talking points?
Biden's foreign policy is in such a bad state that, sadly, none of these explanations can be ruled out...
Spanish town of Guernica stands in solidarity with Palestine. On April 26, Guernica was bombed by Nazi Germany's Conc Legion, in one of the first aerial bombings. Guernica siren sounded for Nazi genocide in Spain sounded for #Gaza 86 years later.
Omg 😭😭😭
The daily news mainstream media is NOT covering - today’s MOH press conference from Gaza:
🔹 The Israeli crime and genocide of the population of the Gaza Strip is beyond description and beyond the limits of reason. Ending the Palestinian presence with American and European support is inhumane.
🔹During the past hours, the occupation committed 20 horrific massacres and annihilated entire families. We have received dozens of appeals from citizens in residential neighborhoods and schools, and among them was the Khalifa School in northern Gaza, where the occupation committed a hideous massacre that claimed the lives of dozens of martyrs and wounded who are bleeding to death, and the displaced there are in a catastrophic situation without No water, no food, and no treatment
🔹An ambulance was targeted while it was working to evacuate the wounded in the area of the Gaza European Hospital, which led to the injury of two paramedics and damage to the ambulance, bringing the number of targeted vehicles to 57 ambulances.
🔹210 martyrs and 2,300 injured have reached hospitals. A large number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads.
🔹 The toll of the Israeli aggression rose to 17,700 martyrs and 48,780 injuries as of last October 7.
Attacking and destroying hospitals has always been a red line and a crime under international humanitarian law, but the Israeli occupation has crossed this line several times in a row, and its war against hospitals, ambulances and medical teams continues in front of the world’s eyes and ears, without lifting a finger to win for humanity.
🔹The Israeli occupation continues to besiege Kamal Adwan and Al-Awda Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip. During the past hours, the occupation snipers besieging Al-Awda Hospital killed two health personnel and killed and wounded many pregnant women when they arrived at the hospital to give birth.
🔹 Pregnant women in northern Gaza cannot access the maternity service at Al Awda Hospital, and this will cause them to be killed and their fetuses killed.
🔹The residents of northern Gaza are subjected to extermination from house to house and from school to school, and the wounded are left to die as a result of hospitals being sieged and out of service.
🔹Hospitals in southern Gaza have lost their capacity and are helpless in the face of the huge numbers of wounded and dozens of wounded are losing their lives.
🔹 The Israeli occupation deliberately displaces oncology patients from treatment places for the second time, as the patients and crews were forced to evacuate the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital for the first time under direct bombardment. They were transferred to Dar Al-Salam Hospital in Khan Yunis, which the occupation forces arrived at, endangering the lives of the patients and forcing them to leave it, and now they are here. Without any place, which will expose them to the risk of death. We lost dozens of patients after the first and second displacement of oncology patients as a result of their failure to receive treatment and health care.
The Israeli occupation arrested three paramedics and seized the ambulances bearing the following numbers:
30-606-50
32-881-50
32-812-50
We warn against the occupation's attempt to use ambulances in its military operations in the Gaza Strip, and we affirm that the use of ambulances for hostilities is contrary to international humanitarian law, but the occupation's criminality has crossed all lines.
🔹 The Israeli occupation is still arresting 36 health personnel, led by Dr. Muhammad Abu Salamiya, Director General of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, in inhumane conditions.
🔹 The Israeli occupation deliberately targeted 132 health institutions and put 22 hospitals and 46 health centers out of service.
The Israeli aggression against the health system led to the death of 295 health personnel and the injury of hundreds of them.
🔹 On the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which falls on December 10, we call on the free world to stop the aggression and genocide to which our people are subjected, in order to win for humanity. We also call on health institutions around the world to hold activities (Solidarity Week with the Health Sector) to denounce the crimes of the Israeli occupation and its ongoing war. Against hospitals, ambulances and health teams
🔹We call on medical teams around the world to reach the Gaza Strip to rescue the wounded, especially orthopedics.
🔹 We affirm that the mechanism used to evacuate the wounded is still restricted and sterile and contributes to the killing of hundreds of wounded. We demand that an effective mechanism be found for treatment abroad to preserve the lives of the wounded.
🔹We appeal to health personnel, retirees, graduates, and students from all health specialties to join work immediately in the northern hospitals, Nasser hospital, and the European Hospital in Khan Yunis.
We reiterate our call to health work partners to establish medical points and mobile clinics to care for the displaced in the western regions of Khan Yunis and Rafah.
We call on international institutions to quickly provide blood virus testing materials to ensure the safety of blood units and the safety of transporting them to the wounded and sick.
We demand the provision of a safe humanitarian corridor for large quantities of medical aid and fuel to enter and reach all hospitals in the Gaza Strip.
🔹We call on all institutions to work immediately to provide the medication and fuel needs to operate the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, which represents the only hope for the needs of the wounded and sick in northern Gaza.
Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism.
The strategic conflation has been engineered to suppress a shift in narrative that humanizes Palestinians and rejects the occupation.
