Maria and Salem Keshko should be in school like the world's children but instead their lifeless bodies were buried after the occupation violated the ceasefire once again. The ceasefire is a lie. Palestinians are still being murdered en masse.

Interesting.
And good to see @libdems MPs keeping on the Government’s case.
(But what poor answers they’ve received!)

#Gaza #Palestine #ComplicitInGenocide
It appears the UK government is not taking any steps to investigate or help investigate Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

With Russia in Ukraine, the UK is giving millions to the ICC to investigate war crimes.

Some war crimes are more acceptable than others.

Continuing crimes against humanity in the West Bank highlighted in this important new @hrw.org report.

#WestBank #Gaza #Palestine
In early 2025, the Israeli military launched an operation that emptied three Palestinian refugee camps. They've blocked their residents from returning and razed many of their homes.

In a new report, HRW finds that Israeli forces carried out war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

We’re saving lives but could save many more with better access, more safety and more funding.
