In @ForeignPolicy, I argue that the generosity Europe has shown refugees from Ukraine is admirable, but the more important thing the west has done is to give Ukrainians the means to defend themselves, so they— unlike Syrians—still have a home to return to. foreignpolicy.com/2022/03/18/eur…

The great genocide scholar @martinshawx had noted genocidal intent and actions in Israel's assault on Gaza already in November 2023. In his new essay for @newlinesmag, he describes how discourse and opinions have shifted in spite of media suppression. newlinesmag.com/argument/the-d…

#Syria: the fact-finding committee tasked to investigate the killings on the Coast early March released its results in a press conference (some highlights): - 33 sites were visited - over 230 Security/military personnel were killed by Assadists (265 suspects identified) - some…

Several Arab nations have rejected a request to convene an emergency meeting to discuss the catastrophic situation in Gaza, absurdly claiming that there are "no significant developments" to warrant such a session. This disgraceful excuse exposes more than negligence,it reveals…

“The level of repression that we’re seeing is related to the shift in the narrative, and the loss of control over that narrative.” theguardian.com/education/2025…

Israeli occupation maims Gazans and starves them before KILLING them!

Israeli sniper shot him while searching for food in Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip!

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…

What turns humans into these creatures? With all the injustices in the world, imagine directing your energy and ire at a homeless man for trying to eke out a living and rise about his circumstances?

The lawyer of a high-profile Gazan doctor detained by Israel since last December has spoken of her shock over his condition after being allowed a rare visit to see him in jail. 🔗 Read more trib.al/lCrVooW

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…

WE NEED URGENT ACTION, NOT WORDS! - Expel the Ambassador - Sanction Israel now People are being starved to death in font of our eyes! DO SOMETHING! @SenatorWong @AlboMP

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

Malthouse *was* right to personalise it. Lammy has been the chief spokesman for British complicity. We need to personalise it with *every* MP who is not up in arms about Gaza, especially those who voted to criminalise direct action protests: the starving are their responsibility

Extraordinary. AFP says its journalists are in imminent risk of being starved to death by Israel. This has never happened since the agency was founded. Never has any of its journalists been starved to death

Nobody involved here expects to ever face accountability for their actions, and the US will not be a functional democracy if they are right. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

Future generations will know that Israel’s Genocide in Palestine began with propaganda and dehumanization…bankrolled by the US, and enabled by a western media that suppressed facts/truths & manufactured consent for genocide by arguing: "It is possible to kill children legally.”

.@kitmalthouse asks an urgent question and emphasizes the gravity of the situation. And this is how Labour foreign secretary @DavidLammy deflects it. Truly shameful.

Extraordinary scenes in the Commons tonight as Tory MP @kitmalthouse correctly accuses UK foreign secretary David Lammy of complicity in Israel’s crimes and warns him that he could end up in The Hague

“I'm only asking for a piece of bread... that's all," a 17-year-old boy at al-Shifa hospital tells the BBC, as food security body the IPC warns more than 1.5 million Gazans are at risk of severe malnutrition/ starvation. Nearly 500,000 are considered to be facing “catastrophe.”

Critical call for a ceasefire in #Gaza, but glaring omissions 1) Acknowledgement that 🇮🇱 is systematically violating int. law right now, i.e. war crime of starvation 2) Clear consequences unless 🇮🇱 changes course, i.e. broad arms embargo & sanctions gov.uk/government/new…🇮🇱
