Landmark ruling in the Advisory Opinion by the ICJ on Climate Change. 1.5 degree C is legally the Planetary limit. All countries are legally obliged to comply. Even fossil-fuel subsidies can be illegal. States have duty to solve the planet crisis and can be held accountable.
Och fortfarande fortsätter förnekandet.

“Their government is out of control. It is a despicable disgrace.” Live Aid campaigner and musician Bob Geldof condemns the Israeli government’s role in the Gaza crisis as he speaks to @MiriamOCal amid mounting deaths from hunger. WATCH: @rtenews | #rtept
With @EmmanuelMacron announcing that 🇫🇷 will recognize 🇵🇸 as an independent state by the September 🇺🇳 General Assembly there is significant new diplomatic momentum on the issue.
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…
Gaza starvation so severe people are ‘walking corpses’, UN says channel4.com/news/gaza-star…
מילה למארגני ההפגנה נגד המלחמה הערב: אל תכחישו את המציאות, אל תצטרפו למסתירים ולמכחישים. בעזה יש רעב המוני, בעזה יש הרג המוני, בעזה יש השמדה. לקיים הפגנת מחאה 21 חודשים פנימה לתוך האירוע ולהתעלם לחלוטין מהמצב בעזה, להתעלם מהמעשים שלנו בעזה - זה לשרת את השלטון ברמה הגבוהה ביותר.
“Only the Nazis were proud of mass killing and genocides” Israeli journalist Gideon Levy said Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is “the face of Israel” in response to comments he made in the Knesset that Israel “will occupy Gaza and make it an inseparable part of Israel

Amnesty har nya bevis för att Israel fortsätter använda svält som vapen, vilket är krigsbrott. De kräver Sveriges regering tar ansvar: 1. Erkänna att Israel begår folkmord 2. Globalt vapenembargo 3. Sätta tydlig politisk och diplomatisk press på Israel för häva blockaden.
למה בעצם אנשים מסרבים להאמין לממשלה? למה יש ישראלים שמכחישים את המציאות שהממשלה עצמה מודה ומתגאה בה? השר אליהו אמר ממש עכשיו: "עזה נמחקת, אנחנו מוחקים את האוכלוסייה". אז למה להכחיש את ההשמדה ואת ההרעבה? מה אתם חושבים שאתם יודעים שהם בממשלה לא יודעים? להשמדה להרעבה חובה לסרב.
Never have I met such deep frustration and despair among @UN colleagues as today about Gaza. Massive death, destruction and starvation strike civilians, incl aid workers and journalists. Now is the time for the UNSG to summon the SecCo on the basis of Art 99 of UN Charter.
UN: equivalent of 6,000 food and medicines trucks cannot enter Gaza. Children die of hunger. 1,000 people killed in food distribution points. EU "agreement" to increase "substantially" aid has proven meaningless. It was just an excuse for some MMSS to refuse any action.
The IDF has killed starving Palestinian civilians trying to get aid. Settler terrorism and talk of imposing the illegal E1 settlement plan are flagrant attempts to prevent a Palestinian state. There is no justification for this. A two-state solution is the only path to peace.
I can’t even begin to explain how big this is. For years, Channel 12 and mainstream Israeli news would cover Palestinian suffering occasionally. Then after October 7, they just stopped. No one wanted to see it. That played a massive role in the dehumanization of Palestinians and…
Keep up the pressure. It’s working. Today, for the first time, mainstream Israeli TV covered the hunger in Gaza. (You can call Israeli TV antisemitic, if you like. It won’t change the facts.)
Gaza’s health ministry on Wednesday recorded 10 deaths due to starvation in the previous 24 hours, which brought the number of hunger-related fatalities in July to 46 after months of Israeli restrictions on the entry of most food and humanitarian supplies. ft.com/content/acb611…
Something Gaza has exposed is just how nakedly careerist so many politicians and journalists are.
Völkermordpropaganda. Unkenntnis herrscht vor allem bei Ihnen. Palästina ist seit knapp 60 Jahren illegal besetzt. Israel is ein Apartheidsstaat. Gaza wurde durch Israel in ein Vernichtungslager transformiert. Israel begeht Völkermord, an der Seite Deutschlands und den USA
Nu är det hög tid att statsministern och regeringen skärper sig. Ni är skyldiga enligt folkmordskonventionen att förhindra folkmord, och att svälta en befolkning är krigsbrott på väg mot det. svd.se/a/VzV1A1/manga…
About to go on Piers Morgan to debate whether or not there is a genocide in Gaza (there is, obviously) with Emily Schrader and Omar Baddar. Catch me there!
