Basic Rules of War: 1- Civilians & civilian structures are NEVER legitimate targets 2- Disproportionate & indiscriminate violence are prohibited 3- Collective punishment is prohibited 4- Torture & mutilation are prohibited 5- Detainees should be treated humanely
This video posted by the Israeli military is self-incriminating. The officers can be heard repeatedly screaming “don’t shoot.” Well guess why they had to shout that out over & over & over? Because normally they are instructed to shoot & shoot & shoot.
[1/8] People in #Gaza who have survived bombs & bullets are starving. Yesterday, Israeli forces again fired on crowds waiting for aid trucks. Hospitals report >80 people killed. The starving arrived as the wounded. There seems to be no limits to this cruelty. A🧵from Gaza…
If you’re in the West, and a defender of Israel, and spent the past 21 months justifying the worst war crimes of our lifetime on the grounds of ‘but the hostages!’, sorry, you got played.
🚨Israel minister calls for "expanding" the Gaza genocide even if it means all Israeli captives are "killed as a result"! In case any genocide apologists gaslight you into thinking this was ever about the khostages!
🚨AFP issues a statement saying this is the 1st time in their entire history their journalists on the ground face death by starvation

Am told 3 other EU member states (CY, MT, and GR) have now also retroactively joined, bringing total up to 28 western countries + European Commissioner Lahbib.
Unity is strength. Together with 26 international partners, we reinforce our call on Israel to uphold international law & lift aid restrictions now. The crisis in #Gaza has reached an intolerable level.Only an immediate, unconditional & permanent ceasefire can end the suffering.
"No one is spared: caretakers in #Gaza are also in need of care. Doctors, nurses, journalists and humanitarians are hungry. Many are now fainting due to hunger and exhaustion while performing their duties: reporting atrocities or alleviating some of the suffering. Meanwhile,…
The suffering in Gaza is utterly unacceptable. Together with 25 committed partners, Norway sends a crystal clear message: the war in Gaza must end. Now. We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages, and a full resumption of humanitarian aid. regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/joi…
Germany's ersatz expression of concern, even as it continues to sell Israel weapons and block EU action. Berlin also chose not to join today's statement by 25+ countries (incl UK, FR, NL, IT, AT, AU & CA) calling on Israel to comply with its humanitarian obligations.
In a phone call with Israeli Foreign Minister @gidonsaar today, I expressed my greatest concern about the catastrophic humanitarian situation, also in view of the expansion of Israel’s military offensive in #Gaza. @AussenMinDe 1/3
28 trucks per day means 175 grams (6 ounces) of food per person per day This is LESS THAN 15% of what prisoners got in Stalin's GULAG CONCENTRATION CAMPS!
EU’s @kajakallas says there’s been “some good signs” in aid access to Gaza. But for NRC and many others, no relief has entered for 142 days. Not one truck. Not one delivery. For the few actors allowed to bring in limited supplies, the UN reports that from 19 May to 14 July, an…
Gaza is starving. And those who dare seek food are being shot. This is morally and strategically disastrous. We continue to call on our community to act and push back against this policy – for peace, for an end to the war, for every parent trying to feed their children.
💥"Today marks a week since this video was filmed. Two things haven't changed: 12 members of the Arafat family are still buried under the rubble of their home, and the @IDF still hasn't explained why it was necessary to kill them." @NirHasson
Once upon a time, I was handsome 😅
هنا عاصم وهنا عاصم، بينهما سنتين من الإبادة، سنتين حرب وقتل وجوع ونزوح وفقد ومقتلة مستمرة دون توقف. عاصم (أنموذج صغير عن غزة): قبل الحرب، شاب أنيق، يهتم بصحته، يبتعد عن السكر ما لم أوسوس له، يلعب الرياضة، ولا يعرف للدواء طريق. في بداية الحرب، ظننت أنه يتدبر أمره كباقي الناس،…
