#DiversityNotDivision

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I am so profoundly touched by this expression of support from Jewish organisations worldwide.
The minions out there will be livid. Let's stay strong, altogether.

[IPSC @ipsc48]

🇵🇸 The speakers and performers for our National March for Palestine on Saturday. Join us in outrage and protest at apartheid Israel’s genocide, in solidarity with our Palestinian sisters and brothers and to demand sanctions now. #FreePalestine #SolidarityIsAVerb 🇵🇸

[Dublin Communities Against Racism @DubsCommunities]

1/10 Today we have condemned recent Government statements and are warning of increased hostility towards immigrants from politicians seeking election. With polling day just a matter of weeks away, we have already seen signs of mainstream parties playing the 'race card'.

[The Ditch @wereontheditch]

🚨Breaking🚨

The Ditch informed @SimonHarrisTD in the past few minutes that another FedEx Memphis to Cologne flight – that will enter Irish sovereign airspace this afternoon – is carrying at least two munitions of war packages to Israel ⬇️

[The Ditch @wereontheditch]

This flight went through Irish sovereign airspace this afternoon despite The Ditch giving Eamon Ryan, Micheál Martin and Simon Harris more than five hours advance warning – and evidence – that it was carrying munitions of war to Nevatim IDF base in Israel.

[Rubén Hood 🇵🇸 @RubenHood15M]

A Irene Montero le prohíben llevar el pañuelo palestino porque «son las normas» y responde:

«Las normas internacionales también impiden los genocidios y aquí está Europa apoyando uno».

Espectacular.

[Donal O'Kelly @DonalOKelly]

Enacting the #OccupiedTerritoriesBill in full without delay is the absolute minimum first step the government MUST TAKE at tmro's cabinet meeting to sanction apartheid Israel in its genocide against the Palestinians of Gaza.

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

#BDSworks: The ship MV Kathrin has been forced to officially abandon the Portuguese flag!

The Kathrin, illegally carrying explosives destined for use by Israel in its genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, is now considered rogue

[Frances Black @frances_black]

This is horrific.. Israel is murdering innocent people in Jabalia at this moment! @SimonHarrisTD @MichealMartinTD @ivanabacik @MaryLouMcDonald @HollyCairnsTD

[Donal O'Kelly @DonalOKelly]

There is NO REPORT by @rtenews of this firebomb attack by Israel last night on the people left nowhere to go sleeping in tents in the grounds of AlAqsa hospital in Gaza.
No report either by @BBCWorld.
There is a massive bias in mainstream media reporting of the genocide in Gaza.

[Donal O'Kelly @DonalOKelly]

Hello @rtenews are you awake? Social media is full of people in Gaza pleading for the world to see that the entire population of north Gaza is being ethnically cleansed by Israel and shot by snipers and quadcopters when they leave their refuge. Journalists have been shot on air.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

BREAKING: 99 US physicians and medical professionals have published a letter and report indicating "probative evidence that the human toll in Gaza... is already greater than 118,908, an astonishing 5.4% of Gaza’s population."

This is genocide. https://t.co/xdeogIbFz4

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

It's wild that an operation against military targets which killed zero people (one dying from falling shrapnel) has triggered more outrage from Western media than Israeli operations targeting residential areas and ambulances and massacring hundreds of civilians.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I commend #Jordan's Foreign Minister @AymanHsafadi for his courage and clarity. However, it's clear what the endgame is: a land devoid of Palestinian people. The Israeli cabinet and coalition ministers have never been so explicit about their intentions, and they are poised to set the region on fire to achieve this goal.

[Rory Hearne @RoryHearneGaffs]

What Simon Harris wants you to forget:

The financialisation of housing (via real estate & vulture funds) led directly to homelessness.

Our research, published in an academic journal showed it.

Housing policy made by Harris' Government caused homelessness

Here it is:

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

NEED TO ENFORCE ARMS EMBARGO
According to information received, the vessel #Kathrin, flying with Portuguese flag, is expected to deliver 8 containers of explosives to Israel.

These explosives are reportedly key components in the aircraft bombs and missiles that Israel is deploying against besieged Gaza and in its genocidal campaign against the Palestinians. As #Namibia has rightfully denied port access to Kathrin, upholding int'l law, my hope is that #Angola will follow Namibia's example and not consent to harbour the ship. This could be a serious breach of the #Genocide Convention.

I am also extremely concerned by #Portugal's potential sponsorship of the ship and for facilitating Kathrin's delivery. This may be a breach of the #Genocide Convention.

Critical reminder: Any military transfer to Israel, which the #ICJ determined may be plausibly committing genocide, amounts to a breach of the Genocide Convention and of the HRC resolution 55/L.30 mandating an arms embargo on Israel.
