Forza #SumudFlotilla: you are moral warriors, where States remain inactive. And complicit. I am with you, and with all those standing for justice, human rights and dignity. We build peace with peace, not weapons. Gaza is not alone.

I thank each and every scholar and intellectual who signed this powerful letter. This helps clear the air around a smearing campaign whose sole aim was TO SILENCE ME.

Francesca Albanese, the U.N. special rapporteur on Palestine, has been sanctioned by the Trump administration for documenting and demanding accountability for Israeli crimes. "I'm not going to step back and I'm not going to stop my work," @FranceskAlbs says of U.S. pressure.

Israel has not committed genocide (it is said). Sure. And the earth is flat.

The UK government concluded that no genocide is taking place in Gaza, arguing that there is "no intent from Israel to destroy the group, in whole or in part". Here is a list that proves otherwise (bookmark it); 📌BENJAMIN NETANYAHU (Prime Minister): “We are destroying more

GHF belongs to The Hague. UN independent experts have long called for its closure. States, the UN, and humanitarian actors must absolutely stay clear and avoid any cooperation, as involvement risks entangling them in legal and moral responsibility.

Completely dystopian & utterly outrageous. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, responsible for daily massacres, needs to be immediately closed & its staff put on trial for murder. Anti-Islamic US biker gang members run security at deadly Gaza aid sites https://t.co/l5MaBioZCn

Also: time to end the colonial attitude of countries who sit and ‘dispose’ reconstruction. The EU will be among those owing REPARATIONS to the Palestinian people, who will decide how to rebuild Gaza and everything Israel has destroyed -without white saviorism hovering over them.

Hard to applaud this statement: too little, too late, intolerably insufficient under int’l law. EU states must ▶️impose a full arms embargo ▶️suspend trade (incl. @HorizonEU) ▶️prosecute alleged criminals and ▶️send a fleet to break the siege. Nothing less.

What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world. Man-made famine can never be a weapon of war. This must stop. EU aid to Gaza far outweighs that of any other partner. But of course, Europe needs to do more. Here are measures for a way forward ↓

Expert sources suggest that it was an incendiary grenade wrapped in plastic materials dipped in fuel, which could have been set on fire before landing on the ship.

Israel will not hesitate to bomb any sovereign country, break every international law, undermine all bonds of trust with a mediator to ensure that there is no peace, that the genocide continues, that its own hostages are given no chance.

Counting the dead, every day, seeing nothing able to stop the carnage, is a torment. The wounds are so profound, that we need to profoundly and graciously care for each other more than ever, to heal and keep going. Ps. Mediterraneanness is contagious.

Breaking news; Here is the security camera footage from the Family vessel of the Sumud Flotilla, stationing just outside Tunis port. So: 1. Sound of something that the crew identified as a drone. 2. Crews sounds the alarm and calls for help. 3. Explosion. Draw your conclusions.

❗️BREAKING❗️: Gaza Al-Roya Tower (12 floors of media, clinics, sports & civilian offices) is under threat. Smashing, bombing, levelling everything built on the surface is not war: it is the deliberate creation of conditions meant to destroy a group as such, i.e. genocide.

The work of @ICRC and other humanitarian organizations is vital, and neutrality in war is essential. But when, under the fog of war, a decades-old apartheid system commits genocide and other crimes, reducing its victims to ‘one side’ risks sliding into cross-eyed humanitarianism.

In times of war, neutrality is not indifference; it is a deliberate way of working to help without taking sides, allowing us to reach those who need it. This is how it works 👉🏽 https://t.co/elO5hLLuxP
