Thread, thoughts on human rights advocacy: It’s interesting to me that when human rights violations occur - people are always like “well we need to shed light on it!”.. and in so many cases it gets documented, talked about, shared; and yet not much changes

Heartbreaking: a little girl desperately tries to hug her father as Israeli forces detain him. The father is a Palestinian from Jerusalem who even holds Israeli citizenship — just imagine what happens to those in the West Bank and Gaza.

🔥BREAKING! What Israeli forces are doing to 66 yo Marwan Barghouti (a symbol of unity) -accounts speak of torture, sever beating, broken ribs and teeth- reveals a depraved mindset and system, brutalising defenseless individuals as a way to break the spirit of an entire people.
BREAKING: Israeli jailers are torturing, smashing the teeth, attacking the body, of Marwan Barghouti - the Palestinian Nelson Mandela, the leader who can lead Palestinians and Israelis to a Just Peace (watch the video by Knesset member Ofer Cassif). Free Marwan Now! #FreeMarwan

I said this two years ago & was accused of “whitewashing Hamas” Israel knew from day one who kidnapped the Bibas family. Israel knew from Nov 2023 the Bibas family were killed (most likely in an airstrike). Israel kept pretending the Bibas kids were alive to fuel its genocide!
Hamas did not kidnap the Bibas family and Israel knew that very well. Nitzan Alon, former head of Israel's POWs and Missing Persons Headquarters, says Israeli intelligence knew who had abducted the Bibas family—and it wasn't Hamas. Alon said in an interview today for Israeli

I need to update my Amjad Taha cheat sheet to note that GB News and Daily Mail have had to issue apologise for airing his falsehoods. What's the point in calling out his repeated bullshit if likes of @LBC give him a platform cc @mrjamesob
Remarkably, only a day after the High Court confirmed that GB News broadcast false claims from Amjad Taha, @LBCNews has published an article by the same individual. This raises serious concerns about standards and due diligence across broadcasters. 🧵👇 https://t.co/NfCaVkamUn

“Our commander asked the D9s – the bulldozers – to cover up the bodies with sand,” he recalled. “Just to see this amount of bodies around you, when u see they’re unarmed, when u see dogs eating them to play with the bones & legs and skull. It’s terrible.” - Israeli whistleblower
A terrifying CNN report reveals how Israel buried hundreds of starving Palestinians alive. “Bulldozed corpses and unmarked graves — CNN investigates the fate of Gaza’s missing aid seekers.” https://t.co/CgIMXMbJNf

More than a month after a ceasefire was announced and all living Israeli hostages were released, Israeli authorities are still committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, by continuing to deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about

Today the #UN Committee Against Torture will issue their conclusions on their review of Bahrain. My father is a #torture survivor and still imprisoned after almost 15 years, I will not allow the #Bahrain regime to erase the truth #FreeAlKhawaja #DKPol #Not15Years

Extra-judicial executions, cold blooded murder. This is what the Israeli occupation army does throughout Palestine.
This is truly shocking. The terrorist Israeli soldiers executed two Palestinian men who had been besieged inside a house in Jenin. The two men emerged with their hands raised in surrender, but the soldiers ordered them to step back before shooting them.

Many, in my part of the world,still know the difference between ius quia iussum (law as commanded) and ius quia iustum (law as just).I follow the latter. Questioning a resolution’s flaws isn’t “siding with terrorists”; it’s defending the only peace that ends violence: a just one.
“UN expert” Francesca Albanese further disgraces herself. After years of false “genocide” claims, she attacks a historic UN resolution to bring peace to Gaza adopted 13-0, with public support from Arab & Muslim partners, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority. Yet Albanese sides

Last year, my father, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, was serving patients at Kamal Adwan Hospital. But this year, on his birthday, my father is being held hostage by the military occupation. It has been 329 days since my father was taken. How long will our father remain away from us?

This is terrifying. Thinking of all my Sudanese friends in the UAE. It's both a state fueling some of the worst atrocities of our time via the RSF in #Sudan and a deeply authoritarian country.
Human rights lawyers say Sudanese activists in the UAE are being arrested without charge and held in conditions amounting to enforced disappearance. A lawyer following the cases told Ayin that names cannot be disclosed due to security risks. The arrests reportedly follow phone

The #Bahrain regime continues to target outspoken critics, like @ebrahimsharif, and although they’ve been using the “revolving door” method of arrest and release with him after his release from the #Bahrain13 case, it’s starting to look like the door stops revolving when it comes
@ebrahimsharif was arrested in #Bahrain for practicing his right to free expression. He must be released as well as all other prisoners of conscience - including my father who also released a statement on #Palestine - posted in the next tweet
