Boycott. Divest. Sanction.

#FreePalestine 🇵🇸✊

193 countries. 5 decide. That’s how the UN 🇺🇳 picks its leader.

On the UN’s 80th birthday, we filed a communication to the UN Special Procedures, asking them to take a look at the UN Chief selection process!

HB 🎂UN, may you fix yourself.

The United Nations should be leading this effort. Instead, weak leaders bow to superpowers. So take to the streets, protest, agitate, until Palestine is free.

The genocide will not stop until world leaders do their job. For the millionth time, that means sanctions, embargoes, divestments, and an international protection force sent to Gaza.

Israel’s war crimes are so extreme that yesterday, the International Court of Justice had to remind it: you cannot starve people & humans deserve medicine.

Don’t look away from Palestine. Israel is threatening more colonial annexation, violating the ceasefire, and continuing to murder Palestinians.

Buying a house is a dream for most, while achieving the economic stability to build a family feels impossible. Our governments keep ending up on the wrong side of history - supporting genocides and destroying the environment. I’ve had enough. And you?

They can veto every major decision, including on crimes they are involved in.

I saw this picture by Abdel Kareem Hana at the Triennale yesterday, and it stayed with me. It represents humanity amidst the most inhuman genocidal campaign.

Time to shake up the United Nations: it fails to stop superpowers from committing the gravest of crimes, from Ukraine to Palestine. We must either reform it to answer to the people of the world and do its job, or build an alternative.

#ClimateChange is threatening our very existence, harming communities worldwide and destroying our planet. Yet, instead of taking action, Trump wants the EU to dismantle already watered-down EU green regulations... This is a threat to all of us: NO! www.ft.com/content/678f...

When a senior UN official told me to “stop fixating on Gaza and Ukraine,” I realized how broken the system had become.

The United Nations 🇺🇳 was created to unite us — but today, it’s paralyzed by a handful of powers while millions suffer.

occupation & apartheid, but plays into Israel’s hands, without any accountability/justice.

This means we must continue to pressure our governments to impose sanctions, arms embargoes, and push for the liberation of Palestine. So keep on protesting, posting, and doing anything that worked until now

But remember - Israel violated the last ceasefire 962 times and continues to attack Lebanon.

It’s a first step. And a huge one to save lives. But this won’t be the solution as it doesn’t address the root cause of the:

Palestinians are celebrating the ceasefire, with hopes that Israel’s genocide might end.

If it’s respected, this is more than a lifeline: after 2 years of massacres, 80,000 murdered, Gaza destroyed, hospitals and schools wiped out.
