A Jewish lynch mob has raided the Palestinian village of Huwara this morning, assaulting two Palestinians.
This, despite appearances, is not a story of "extremism". To describe it as such is to obscure the legal reality.
Settler violence in the occupied Palestinian territory has long been directed by organs of the State. The perpetrators operate as auxiliary militias, at times in civilian clothes, at times in uniform, but increasingly with functions that blur any meaningful distinction.
From that reality flows a conclusion that is as simple as it is complex. Under international law, responsibility lies not only with the individuals who wield the firearms, but with the occupying Power that supports their actions.
The remedy is not another condemnation. It is compliance with the law. As the International Court of Justice has made clear, Israel's continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful. The obligation is to bring that presence to an end, completely, unconditionally, and without delay.
@GovMikeHuckabee Iran is not committing genocide. Iran is not carrying out in a apartheid state. Iran is not a colonial made up nation, trust me Israel is the problem and always has been
@yechielleiter 11,000 massages would not be enough to make up for the horrific war crimes. Israel is committing illegally in Lebanon not to mention the genocide killing hundreds of thousands of indigenous Palestinian people.
@Israel_katz You are an evil person with no redeeming qualities you do significant amounts of harm even to Jewish people, Jerusalem has nothing to do with Zionism and never should do. It is an occupied illegal war crime for Zionist to occupy Jerusalem.
@Palestine_UN@majedbamya We are so sorry how the world has failed you again to allow the horrific Zionist colonial imperialism to carry out such a slaughter
@rosebud_jurado@Palestine_UN What a cute attempt to manipulate the dialogue let’s talk about the countless thousands of innocent children killed by Israel deliberately if of course you actually care about children’s lives rather than just propaganda
@DailyMail So someone who is actively supporting genocide is scared of having any consequence even people using words against horrific war crime support
@antonioguterres@UN Israel is illegally occupying Lebanon Palestine and Syria on top of actively committing a genocide, Israel has not obeyed any ceasefire agreements and we need targeted military action to stop this
@SecRubio So you would admit the only reason you’re attacking Cuba is because it represents a different political ideology than the authoritarian fascism that you represent… good thanks for letting us know
@AlonLeeGreen No Israel is committing horrific war crimes and must be targeted with significant military force in the same way we would any other rogue regime. They must have all of their potency destroyed by a systematic bombing campaign from the rest of the world.
@Channel4News There is nothing antisemitic about supporting Palestine. This is a lie used to try and slaughter human rights activists and support Israeli genocide.
@kajakallas Israel is committing horrific war crimes. Israel is deliberately killing UN peacekeeping troops, Israel is deliberately massive occurring civilians and blowing up civilian towns…. And you want to blame the resistance to Israeli occupation as the problem…. stupid / evil or both?
