The world has a moral and legal obligation to call atrocities by their name. What is happening in Gaza is genocide. The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide criminalizes acts committed with the intention to destroy a group in whole or in part.
“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.” UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry's report shows #Israel has committed #genocide in #Gaza. https://t.co/UGjepPwmwo

Ben & Jerry’s is the only major company I know of that has repeatedly lobbied for Black American Reparations. Two older men with access who have no incentive other than justice, are now being punished and silenced for their unwavering support of Palestine. I’m not heartbroken, im
After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal #FreeBenAndJerrys

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

He posted 45 minutes ago and now he’s dead. Kinetic strike. Most likely keyed off his cell phone signal, which the IDF tracks. To the “journalists” in the West who toe the line with the NYT editorial board. Any words for your colleague?

They won't say who killed him (the Israeli army), or how (while he was trying to collect food aid for his children). Meanwhile, Israel remains a full member of UEFA even as its domestic teams play on illegally occupied land and its military has killed hundreds of footballers.
