Netanyahu's 'recognition' of the Armenian Genocide is a cynical attempt to use our nation's tragedy as cover to whitewash Israel's atrocities in Gaza – and avoid accountability for Israel's role in arming Azerbaijan's ethnic cleansing of Artsakh.
Armenians aren't buying it.
Last churches in Gaza say their clergy and nuns refuse to evacuate Gaza City
—
The Latin and Greek Orthodox Patriarchates of Jerusalem have denounced Israel’s evacuation orders in Gaza City as “a death sentence,” warning that civilians, including Christians, the elderly, and people with disabilities, are being forced to choose between staying under bombardment or fleeing into dangerous conditions in the south.
In their 26 August joint message, Latin Patriarch Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa and Greek Orthodox Patriarch Theophilos III said their Gaza City compounds, St. Porphyrius and the Holy Family, have become “a refuge for hundreds of civilians.”
They stated plainly that they will not leave: “The clergy and nuns have decided to remain and continue to care for all those who will be in the compounds.”
The patriarchates condemned the planned Israeli assault, saying that “there can be no future based on captivity, displacement of Palestinians, or revenge,” and echoed Pope Leo XIV’s call that “all peoples, even the smallest and weakest, must be respected … especially the right to live in their own lands; and no one can force them into exile.”
@IsraelinChicago@UN You'd have to be beyond gullible to believe anything Israel says still, what a joke. Israel is a genocidal terrorist state that pathologically lies
Absolutely. Eradicating the Bison of the plains was done in order to annihilate the Indigenous population of North America. Uprooting olive trees in Palestine is no different.
*Crime rates in Chicago, NYC, & several other major cities are literally at the lowest they have been in my entire life*
Our fool of a president: Quick, send in armed national guard!
You can't make this shit up it's so ridiculous lmfao. Trump is a joke with no honesty or morals.
@AliAbunimah@mehdirhasan I think you're both being dishonest, Mehdi has regularly debunked false SA claims & if his priority was to ingratiate himself to those in power he'd still be on MSNBC. Likewise to mehdi, there's nothing irrational about giving mtg credit where aoc failed on a case by case basis.
@mehdirhasan@mtgreenee@AOC The difference is expectations. Nobody expected Ms space Lazers to be the one putting in motions to stop all weapons to Israel. We all expected aoc to be at least as good on this issue as her colleagues Rashida, Ilhan, Chuy, etc. That was a perfectly reasonable expectation.
@withoutprisons Nearly a week later & still nothing huh? I think that proves my point, the American green party does not endorse any genocide on their platform actually & by spreading false claims you only take away another potential organizing tool for the left.
genocide/atrocity denialist campist orgs that protect sexual abusers & racists in their ranks cannot save anyone from anything,
they are obstacle to liberation
Massacres before you sleep. Massacres while you're sleeping. Massacres if you wake up in the middle of the night. Massacres the moment you open your eyes and wake up.
