Macklemore saying Israel is committing a genocide is reported as a “scandal” - while Gaza starving isn’t
BBC host: ".. how long can people survive.. obviously people are appalled by the images we are seeing" Juliette Touma from UNRWA "We should be more than appalled. We've passed the threshold of being appalled many months ago... the people of Gaza are being deliberately starved"
A new plan to settle Gaza with Israelis was presented in the Knesset today. It includes the following elements: * 1.2 million Jews will relocate to Gaza. * All Palestinians will be expelled. * 300,000 housing units will be built * High-tech, agriculture, and education…
זו תוכנית ההתיישבות היהודית בעזה שהוצגה היום בכנס בכנסת בהשתתפות ח״כים ושר האוצר - 1.2 מיליון יהודים - בלי עזתים כי כולם יגורשו או יהגרו ולא רק מרצון - הקמת 300,000 יחידות דיור - הקמת מרכזי הייטק, חקלאות והשכלה ואח״כ מתפלאים שהעולם לא משתכנע שישראל שם רק בשביל להגן על עצמה
🚨 Urgent Press Release | Ministry of Health – Gaza 🇵🇸 45 cases of Acute Flaccid Paralysis were reported in June and July 2025 alone — an unprecedented spike. Due to the lack of diagnostic capacity, these may include cases of Polio or Guillain-Barré Syndrome. This alarming…
Kit Malthouse to Lammy "can he not see his inaction & cowardice is making this country irrelevant? Can he also not see the personal risk to him, given our intl obligations, that he may end up at the Hague because of his inaction?" Lammy tells Malthouse his language is unbecoming
Montag: 104 Tote Dienstag: 117 Tote Mittwoch: 118 Tote Donnerstag: 52 Tote Freitag: 50 Tote Samstag: 144 Tote Sonntag: 133 Tote Eine weitere Woche Genozid in #Gaza. Unterstützt von deutscher Politik, verschwiegen durch deutsche Medien, ignoriert durch die deutsche Öffentlichkeit.
It is so late, Ms Kallas. Only sanctions can stop Israel. Suspending the EU agreement with Israel is a must. Anything less will be just performance, which the millions of Europeans who are grieving for the genodice in Gaza, would much prefer being spared from.
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
🔴 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…
Wo sind eigentlich die Sondersendungen zum Genozid im deutschen Fernsehen? x.com/SaulStaniforth…
"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
Gideon Levy: "Israel is doing things which the Germans did in the early years of the third reich.. the extermination of the Jews.. started with evacuating people.. people like Katz can suggest all kind of crazy ideas which are a copy of Nazi ideas & don't see the connection"
Alex de Waal on how Israel has deliberately chosen and calculatedly planned to inflict genocide by starvation in spite of the ICJ orders on humanitarian aid.
"There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled" Famine expert Alex de Waal on Israel deliberately starving an entire civilian population
The obligation to prevent genocide - triggered 18 months ago by the warning of the International Court of Justice - applies especially to those states that have been supporting Israel: the USA, UK, Germany, EU. When are they going to stop this entirely Israel-made starvation?
"There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled" Famine expert Alex de Waal on Israel deliberately starving an entire civilian population
Empty words from the Foreign Secretary - the statement lacks any resolve, leadership or action to help end the genocide in Gaza. 1/4🧵
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. Alongside 25 other partners, the UK message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now. We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and a full resumption of aid. gov.uk/government/new…

🇧🇪I commend Belgium for arresting & interrogating Israeli war crimes suspects. The pressure to release them must be immense. Even if they escape justice, the precedent is set: universal jurisdiction applies. Others will follow, & war criminals will think twice before traveling.
🔴 BREAKTHROUGH: Two Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes in #Gaza were Arrested and interrogated at #Tomorrowland after a joint complaint by the #HindRajabFoundation & @GLAN_LAW. This is historical! More info ⬇️ hindrajabfoundation.org/perpetrators/b… #JusticeForGaza #NoSafeHaven…
Many media outlets are now recognising that Israel is committing genocide - but still not identifying what governments should be doing to stop it. Me on the new stage of denial.
The dam of Gaza genocide denial has well and truly broken. While Israel’s supporters in the West still reject the charge, many media outlets are coming off the fence. Genocide scholar @martinshawx reflects on this shift in the discourse for @newlinesmag. newlinesmag.com/argument/the-d…
Break *all* collaboration with Israel, impose draconian sanctions, expel all its ambassadors - otherwise this appeal is window dressing.

The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU…

Deutschland schafft es noch nicht einmal, dieses lame statement zu unterschreiben. Dabei vermeidet es, von Genozid zu sprechen, und der 7. 10. und die Geiseln werden auch erwähnt. @AussenMinDE @bundeskanzler #Gaza #Genocide #Germancomplicity x.com/AdHaque110/sta…
