All of us know what Israel is doing in Gaza: destroying as much as we can, killing as many as possible. haaretz.com/opinion/2025-0…
The daughter of Israel’s most famous writer, Amos Oz, calling on all soldiers to refuse to serve in Gaza. This may seem like nothing to some, or too late, or whatever, but it’s a tectonic shift there. And she’s right, of course.
חיילים, סדיר ומילואים, הורים של חיילים, סבים של חיילים, כבר אין דרך אחרת: סרבו לשרת בעזה. סרבו, סרבו, סרבו. החטופים ומשפחותיהם האומללות נבגדו בידי ממשלת ישראל. הרעב ההמוני בעזה הוא עובדה מחרידה ונחרצת. ההרג היומי במרכזי חלוקת המזון איננו הגנה עצמית אלא פשע מלחמה מזעזע. החוק…
No comment necessary. But we need actions. Europe, what are you doing? @kajakallas @vonderleyen and European elected leaders? What are you doing?
Holocaust survivor @DrGaborMate on Israel’s starvation of Gaza: It's difficult to watch starvation anywhere, particularly when it involves children. It's even more difficult to watch when you know that it's engineered, it's planned, it's deliberately perpetrated.
William McNeil’s violent arrest in the U.S. has gone viral. All officers who use profiling and excessive force must be held accountable. Nobody is above the law. Everyone has the right to justice.
Al Jazeera Media Network urgently calls upon the journalistic community, press freedom organisations, and relevant legal bodies to take decisive action to halt the forced starvation and crimes against journalists and media professionals in Gaza. The journalists on the ground,…
"We are torn apart watching our children suffer from hunger. There is nothing to sustain life. Life in Gaza has become unlivable. We live in humiliation and degradation." These are the words of my colleague in Gaza who has been devoting his life for the last 21 months…
@Yolanda_Diaz_ ante el #Genocidio de #Gaza: "la gran verguenza de la humanidad. #Israel es el Horror, la impunidad, la crueldad. Nos duele #Gaza". Hay que acabar con la economía del genocidio, del exterminio. Las empresas españolas no pueden hacer negocios que violan los DDHH"
The evidence establishes reasonable grounds to believe that the Israeli military brazenly and deliberately attacked Iran’s Evin prison. Directing attacks at civilian objects is strictly prohibited under international humanitarian law. Carrying out such attacks knowingly and…
New @amnesty investigation finds Israel’s deliberate air strikes on Iran’s Evin prison on 23 June 2025 constitute a serious violation of international humanitarian law and must be criminally investigated as war crimes. amn.st/6010fH8KO
We are not powerless. Starvation in Gaza is widespread. Israel has engineered it. Israel has designed its evil unfolding. But let's make no mistake. We have allowed it. We have enabled it. We have emboldened it. Our self-imposed paralysis is a scam. Nothing more than a…
🔴 Hunger is widespread in Gaza and people are dying. 🔴 Deadly malnutrition among children is reaching catastrophic levels. 🔴 Food is dangerously scarce, and clean water is below emergency levels . 🔴 Aid is severely restricted and dangerous to access. This is a man-made…

Front page right now. Shame on the rest of the Israeli media that only Haaretz is showing this. Shame on anyone telling these girls to "release the hostages." Shame on anyone still denying this. Shame on all of us for allowing this.
Gaza: le cri d'alarme de la société des journalistes de l'AFP. A lire. Sans intervention immédiate, les derniers reporters de Gaza vont mourir. L’AFP travaille avec une pigiste texte, trois photographes et six pigistes vidéo dans la Bande de Gaza depuis le départ de ses…
Kenya has charged 70+ protesters with terrorism. I've covered actual terrorism. These charges trivialize the losses many Kenyan families have suffered. It's a "weaponization of the criminal justice system" to silent dissent. And @bonifacemwangi says he will not be intimidated
"Deeds not Words NOW: NO! weapons transfers NO! EU-Israel Trade Agreement and no special privileges for Israel: We need ACTION from EU Commission to stop engineered starvation in Gaza." Stephen Bowen, Director, Amnesty Ireland
Today, I join with like-minded Foreign Ministers to deliver a simple and urgent message: The war on Gaza must end now. The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. Full statement: gov.ie/en/department-…
Israel's Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza: In a joint statement released Monday, twenty-five countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Japan, called for an "immediate" end to the war in the Gaza Strip, which is besieged by Israel. "We (...) come together…

Not just any international law professor
"They have to call a spade a spade and acknowledge that they are now dealing with an ongoing genocide" International Law Professor William Schabas on what western govts need to do
Gaza medical officials warn of imminent wave of deaths as hundreds arrive at hospitals with severe malnutrition, memory loss, and exhaustion – symptoms of prolonged starvation worsened by intense heat haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
The reports from Gaza indicate that the final point of no return has been crossed. A broad consensus of scholars predicted that mass hunger will began to exact its deathly toll just about now. It is. All was known. Nothing surprised anyone. There is no need to refer to the Gaza…
The Israeli Authorities are starving civilians in #Gaza. Among them are 1 million children. Lift the siege: allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.
