I’ve never seen graffiti quite like this before. Wow.

"Your carpet explanations for your carpet bombing will not fly!"
State of Palestine representative at the UN demolishes the genocidal rhetoric of Israeli politicians, exposing their genocidal intent for all the UN to see.
Now it's time for Palestine to #InvokeGenocideConvention at the International Court of Justice (NOT ICC).

An Israeli police investigation has found that an IDF helicopter firing at Hamas fighters at the desert rave site also hit civilians, Haaretz reports. There is also a "growing assessment" that Hamas didn't know about the desert rave in advance: https://t.co/UyvWi1XJgG

UPDATE: Ahed Tamimi is being held at Damon Prison in Israel and was beaten, according to her mother. Her mom received a call from a lawyer who was visiting another female Palestinian prisoner. That prisoner informed her lawyer of Ahed's status & to notify her family (continued)

Great, now they're gaslighting themselves too... are you worried our war-mongering will kill you? What doesn't kill you leaves you... thinner?! What even... how do you even get there...

[S.Moustafa @salmousta]

They lie, get caught in their lies and carry on with them anyways. We show the world the truth, we use supposed "international humanitarian" representatives as validation we should not need and they dare question it. This is the result of exceptionalism that has lasted too long.

The lie confidently, criminally, about beheadings and rapes that have not been proven, a hospital attack that their proof for was found to be falsified & tunnels under hospitals with non-existent "documentation". They must be stopped. #CeasefireForGazaNOW

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.

The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

A new Amnesty investigation has found that the Israeli army indiscriminately, and therefore unlawfully, used white phosphorous in an attack on Dhayra in south Lebanon on 16 October.

The attack must be investigated as a war crime.

An Egyptian fishing trawler, navigated by inexperienced migrants departing from the shores of eastern Libya for a new life in Italy, got lost in the sea within a day of setting sail.

Talking with colleagues about positionality always gives me lots of food for thought. Today, @salmousta told me about her experience as a Middle Eastern woman doing fieldwork in Leipzig. She has an insightful essay about it, which I wanted to share: https://t.co/7KAxzACpbU

I've been gone from twitter a while now, and cannot think of a better occasion to return:
Does someone know a #cleaningservice in #London that doesn't cost as much as a roundtrip to Cairo?

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Boycott, divestment and sanctions helped end apartheid in South Africa.

They will be essential to ending the apartheid regime in Israel, too.

I will firmly oppose the government’s anti-BDS bill — a disgraceful attack on our freedom to fight for human rights, justice and peace.
