“Israel is not fighting a war of self-defence. It is fighting a war of aggression. A war to occupy more territory, to strengthen its Apartheid apparatus and tighten its control on Palestinian people and the region”

The world witnesses the horrific Israel’s genocide of Palestinian people for almost 2 years. Not recognition of genocide by Canada. Not a single sanction on the Israeli regime. History will not forgive.
Inaction is complicity
Moral failure

#Gaza is not a warzone – it is a graveyard for humanity’s conscience⚠️

Palestinian children are being starved to death and killed by bombs in their tents. It must stop now.

We urgently need international action to protect children & families now. We cannot fail them❤️

Israeli forces killed over 20,000 children in Gaza since Oct/23.
Gaza has the largest numbers of child amputees in the world.
Thousands of families are slaughtered, generations. Total devastation. Bombs & man-made starvation.

Sanctions from Canada? No.
Ban on artists fighting against genocide? Yes

Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk.bsky.social · Sep 8

Israeli forces have killed at least 20,000 children in Gaza since October 2023.

This is a deeply shameful statistic for our collective humanity – a horrific new low.

Every single one of these 20,000 children had names, favourite subjects in school, and hopes and dreams for the future.

The Trump-backed Gaza ceasefire deal "is not a peace agreement," says Palestinian human rights lawyer Diana Buttu. "This is not an end to the occupation."

Almost 22,000 Palestinians were killed or injured by the Israeli forces and American mercenaries at humanitarian aid waiting areas and distribution points.
Baiting startling people with food and then slaughtering them.

Evil.

The Costs of War Project @costsofwar.bsky.social · 16h

Since October 7, 2023, 2,603 people have been killed at humanitarian aid waiting areas and distribution points; 19,034 have been injured, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health. Similar numbers have been reported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Scale.

Single frame. Scale. On one side of scale, weighing heavily, a small gold weight marked “OCT 7 2023”. On the other side, much lighter, a huge bag (of sand?) marked “EVERY DAY SINCE.”

You do not see tweets from Western politicians about 20,000 slaughtered Gaza children by Israeli attacks and "2,596 children who had lost both parents, and a further 53,724 who had lost either their father (47,804) or mother (5,920)".

I'd have no objection if the Nobel Peace Prize went to a number of the courageous Venezuelan pro-democracy/human rights activists struggling against the Maduro regime. However, the rightwing María Corina Machado--whose commitment to democracy and social justice is dubious--was a very poor choice.

2/6 Decades of atrocities, unlawful occupation, apartheid, up to Israel's ongoing genocidal campaign have one common root: impunity

Those crimes will continue, unless governments with leverage finally use it and take concrete action, instead of repeating "two-state solution" as an empty slogan

6/6 Finally: what's been going on in Gaza is not something you put a stone on and forget about. Nor can Palestinians be asked to accept apartheid and occupation.

Those truly seeking peace must realize a return to Oct 6, 2023, is not a solution. And they must act accordingly.

🧵 #Gaza: several Foreign Ministers are gathering in Paris to discuss the peace plan.

If they want more than another fragile ceasefire, they must walk the talk, take concrete, overdue steps, focusing on what’s been ignored for too long: justice and Palestinians' rights. 1/6 ⤵️
