This is Bou Meng, he is a survivor of #Cambodia’s #KhmerRouge Prison S-21 in which thousands of people were tortured and murdered under the #PolPot regime. Of the 14,000 people known to have entered, only seven survived. Finally, Mr #BouMeng has been granted justice.

"It is inhumane to expect nearly half a million children, battered and traumatized by over 700 days of unrelenting conflict to flee one hellscape to end up in another." - @TessIngram of @UNICEF reports from #Gaza.

As heavy airstrikes persist across Gaza city, vital humanitarian convoys are being denied access.

Humanitarians are committed to reaching people in need wherever they are.

But we urgently need rapid, safe and unimpeded humanitarian access throughout #Gaza.

The Council of Ministers has established a Legal Team mandated to take all legal measures against the recent unlawful and unjustified Israeli attack on Qatar and its sovereignty. In its first meeting today, the team reviewed every available option and reaffirmed Qatar’s unwavering commitment to international law, its determination to safeguard its sovereignty, and its firm resolve to defend its rights through all legitimate and principled means.

A few hours before Israel assassinated five journalists, Ambassador Dr. Riyad Mansour said in the Security Council:

“Why don't you, the Security Council, take with you 100 journalists from your countries and other countries to verify exactly what is happening in Gaza? If Netanyahu is so sure of this global conspiracy about a “lie”, let him prove it. I invite you; he should allow you to go to the Gaza Strip and see exactly what is happening there. Take journalists with you so that you can verify exactly what is happening in Gaza”

If we accept that Palestinians are semites, is it fair to conclude that global leadership’s failure to grieve and protect Palestinian children and other civilians constitutes antisemitism? #SavePalestine #SaveGaza #WhereIsHumanity⚖️🕊🤍
