“If Member States continue to treat these legal obligations as optional, they are not only complicit but are setting a dangerous precedent for the future. History will undoubtedly judge this moment.” Aid agencies working in Gaza call on world leaders to urgently intervene after

“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

“In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.” The GHF-run food distributions in Gaza, Palestine, have become sites of “orchestrated killing and dehumanisation”, not humanitarian aid.

If we’re not standing up now, were we ever truly feminists? Did we ever genuinely care about women’s rights - or was our feminism conditional, limited by ethnicity or religion or convenience?

A drawing of the Madleen by Ahmed Mehdi, 11 years old, G•za. It’s captioned ‘you reached every heart in G•za’. Though the crew were illegally stopped from delivering the aid, they managed to send their love & restore some hope. I’d call that successful ❤️❤️‍🩹

As an Army officer we studied often the concept of war amongst the people. But Israel’s actions in Gaza have coined a new concept - war against the people. At odds with every norm of international humanitarian law. Barbaric, immoral, illegal.

Stop calling it “humanitarian aid.” This isn’t humanitarian, nor is it aid — it is a cruel spectacle of sadistic control and degradation.

Dr Tom Potokar in Gaza after a day operating on what he calls ‘small, emaciated bodies’ - child victims of Israeli bombings - urges politicians to ‘use their power and bring an end to this’ and ‘stop being complicit in this ongoing slaughter and starvation’

The best of us 💛🧡❤️‍🩹
