🙏🥰 Biskopper til regeringen: Læg pres på Israel
Krigen i Gaza har for længst passeret alle rimelige proportioner, skriver otte biskopper i en fælles udtalelse. De opfordrer samtidig regeringen til at lægge pres på den israelske regering. 🥰🙏
PRESSEMEDDELELSE (17. juni 2025):
Krigen i Gaza har for længst passeret alle rimelige proportioner
Vi ser med forfærdelse på den forværrede situation i Gaza og Israels tiltagende fremfærd på Vestbredden.
Vi opfordrer derfor den danske regering til at lægge pres på den israelske regering til at efterkomme de mange internationale krav om at indstille krigshandlingerne i Gaza øjeblikkeligt og samarbejde om at få mere nødhjælp ind i Gaza.
Vi støtter de kraftige protester mod de fortsatte og ulovlige bosættelser i de besatte områder og støtter bestræbelserne på, at forskellige befolkningsgrupper - herunder kristne - der har en lang og legitim tradition for at leve i Israel og de besatte palæstinensiske selvstyreområder, kan leve fredeligt sammen.
Vi opfordrer til, at alle nødhjælps- og civilsamfundsorganisationer samarbejder om at afhjælpe den akutte nød og på længere sigt for fred og forsoning, og vi opfordrer til, at Hamas straks frigiver de kidnappede gidsler.
Vi afviser den såkaldt kristne zionisme, der bruges som religiøs understøttelse af illegale bosættelser og fordrivelse af ikke-jøder fra de palæstinensiske områder.
Vi appellerer til, at vores egen og andre landes regeringer anerkender palæstinensernes ret til frihed og retfærdighed og retten til at blive inddraget i opbygningen af en varig fred med staten Israel, så både palæstinensere og israelere kan leve et værdigt liv.
Vi tager på det kraftigste afstand fra ethvert misbrug af religion til at begrunde overgreb på mennesker - herunder krigsforbrydelser.
Vores tanker og forbøn går til alle ofre i denne konflikt – herunder det kristne palæstinensiske mindretal, som i årevis har arbejdet for forsoning, retfærdighed og fred.

This IDF soldier who shot a baby dead could be a British citizen. We would have no way of knowing.
That’s why Zack is right. We need to make sure any British national complicit in war crimes is held to account.
As efforts continue to preserve the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel, another @UNIFIL_ peacekeeper was killed on 4 June.
The killing of peacekeepers is a violation of international law and must be met with full accountability.

A BOMBSHELL buried in the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act: Section 224 would effectively merge the US & Israeli militaries.
On paper it’s “cooperation” to counter Iran, China, and Russia. But @RepThomasMassie calls it a direct threat to American sovereignty. Rep. @RoKhanna is filing an amendment to kill it in committee. And @mtgreenee went even further, warning this is exactly what foreign influence looks like in legislation.
It’s hidden inside a $1+ TRILLION annual defense bill that most members never read.
The real question: Who actually decides US foreign policy: you, your elected reps, or the same national security blob that keeps dragging us deeper into foreign entanglements? And why is this being decided in the shadows, instead of open debate with the consent of the people?
Israel is not a Jewish state
Jews are not a nationality
Judaism is an ancient religious collective.
Zionism is a nationalist movement created in 1896 by ppl who were pronounced atheists
They wanted to be called Jewish but without actually believing in Judaism
That's Zionism

El periódico holandés De Volkskrant ganó el Premio de Prensa Europea después de su investigación sobre al menos 114 niños palestinos de Gaza de menos de 15 años, que fueron disparados en la cabeza por "Israel", todos murieron o quedaron vegetativos.

The illegal Israeli settlements are a moral outrage and a deliberate attempt to put a just peace out of reach. A ban on trade with these settlements is essential.
These are some of the reasons why I signed this letter.
Thank you @melanie_ward for organising.

Bu zülmü seyreden ve kıpırdamayan insanlık, bu zulme ortak sayılmaz mı?

Together with almost 140 fellow Labour MPs, I have written to the Foreign Secretary to call for a ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements. Our group includes every Labour select committee chair.
It’s time to be clear that settlements have no viable economic future

Gazze’de yaşanan soykırımın ve savaş suçlarının kayıt altına alınması ve tüm dünyanın erişimine sunulması son derece kıymetli bir çalışmadır. Soykırım ve savaş suçlarının uluslararası hukuk önünde hesabının sorulması ise evrensel vicdanın en temel beklentisidir.
Bu bakımdan, Anadolu Ajansı habercilerinin hazırladığı “Kanıt, Tanık ve Sanık” üçlemesi, İsrail yönetiminin Gazze’de işlediği suçların unutulmaması adına tarihe düşülen acı bir kayıt olduğu gibi, Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi (UCM) nezdinde adalet arayışına sunulmuş güçlü bir kanıt dosyasıdır.
Bu tarihî hukuk arşivini dijital platforma taşıyarak tüm dünyanın erişimine açık bir kayıt olarak sunan başta Sayın @serdarkaragoz olmak üzere tüm @anadoluajansi ailesini yürekten tebrik ediyorum.
Türkiye olarak, Cumhurbaşkanımız Sayın @RTErdogan’ın liderliğinde, Gazze’de yaşanan zulmün hesabının uluslararası hukuk önünde sorulması adına hakkın ve hakikatin yanında durmaya devam edeceğiz. Zalimler er ya da geç adalet önünde hesap verecektir! 🇹🇷🇵🇸
♦️The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) continue to perpetrate mass killings and attacks against civilians, including the bombardment of tents sheltering displaced persons across the Gaza Strip. These attacks reflect Israel’s continued pursuit of genocidal acts against the Palestinian population.
▪️The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights’ (PCHR) field researchers have documented a significant escalation in the deliberate targeting of displaced persons sheltering in makeshift tents and damaged homes. Such attacks form part of a broader systematic policy of mass killing and the destruction of the conditions necessary for the survival and stability of the Palestinian population.

Her family protected her for 3 straight years of a genocide.
Kept her fed. Kept her clothed. Kept her safe.
Only for her to be bombed and killed in a fake "ceasefire."
I can't begin to explain how utterly devastating it is to have sustained a child so long then this happens
What is the UK government waiting for? Commit to the rule of law. Commit to international law. Commit to the ICJ ruling. Sanction the occupation, the apartheid, the genocide.
Recognition of the state of Palestine must be a foundation — not a symbol. A foundation for freedom, accountability, and just and lasting peace. Speaking at the @BritPalProject annual conference this week.

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.
