We welcome US federal court’s interim order suspending sanctions imposed by US Government on Special Rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory @FranceskAlbs. Sanctions against her and @IntlCrimCourt judges & prosecutors for carrying out their work are unacceptable and should be rescinded. The essential work they are mandated to carry out should be respected and protected.

UN experts denounce aggression on Iran & Lebanon, warn of devastating regional escalation: "U.S. and Israel should stop waging and expanding wars, and considering themselves as above international legality”.

The US has now murdered 57 civilians in attacks on 14 civilian boats. A systematic attack on civilians is a crime against humanity under international law. When will other governments speak out? bbc.com/news/articles/c0ex94…

There is no more time for excuses: as the evidence of Israel’s genocide continues to mount the international community cannot claim they didn’t know.
As Israeli authorities and forces intensify their brutal campaign of annihilation, particularly in Gaza City, the UN Commission of Inquiry's damning new report provides further confirmation of what Amnesty International and others have been concluding for months: that the Israeli authorities and Israeli forces have committed and are continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
ALT It's genocide.

“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.

US’ refusal of visas to the Palestinian delegation to come to NY for the GA session signals that it is time to move the UN HQ permanently out of the US. UNGA meeting has been held outside the US - again due to the Palestine issue. Let’s make it permanent. latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-…

Seguimos viendo en directo como Israel comete genocidio, y nos preguntamos ¿Cuándo actuará la Unión Europea? Desde hace casi dos años, la UE tiene la oportunidad de contribuir a poner fin a este horror, a la ocupación y al apartheid de Israel, pero cada vez se abstiene de actuar.

Per quasi due anni, l'Ue ha avuto innumerevoli opportunità di fermare il genocidio, l'occupazione e l'apartheid di Israele contro la popolazione palestinese, ma ogni volta non è riuscita a prendere misure concrete. Mentre i ministri degli Esteri dell'Ue si incontrano in Danimarca per discutere della situazione, il genocidio di Israele continua e Gaza sta morendo. @amnestydk ha inviato loro un messaggio che non possono più ignorare. Sospendere l'accordo di associazione tra Ue e Israele, ora!

No more excuses. No more delays.
Every EU failure to act is a greenlight for Israel to continue its genocide in Gaza.
As EU ministers meet today in Denmark, @amnestydk sent a message they can't ignore:
👉Suspend the EU–Israel Agreement NOW.

🚨NEW: Latest investigation by @Amnesty exposes how the US authorities are using AI tools by @PalantirTech & @BabelKnowledge (Babel Street) to deliberately target non-US citizens & those who speak out for Palestinian rights.

I urge the US to lift sanctions on International Criminal Court judges & prosecutors, which undermine justice, the rule law & judicial independence

In its ongoing genocide, #Israel is carrying out a deliberate campaign of starvation in Gaza, systematically destroying the health, well-being and social fabric of Palestinian life.
At @amnesty, we’ve recently documented harrowing testimonies that go beyond suffering, they indict an international system that has granted Israel a license to torment Palestinians with impunity for decades.
Palestinian children are wasting away. Families face an impossible choice: hear their cries for food or risk death in search of aid.

This week we brought together reps from labor unions, faith groups, and peace & humanitarian orgs from across Buffalo to meet with @RepTimKennedy's office.
With a united voice, we made our message clear: we want Tim Kennedy to co-sponsor the Block the Bombs Act (H.R.3565) 🧵
Buffalo & WNY friends: Call @RepTimKennedy & ask him to sign on to HR 3565 ("Block the Bombs Act"). Israel can't continue its genocide & war crimes against Palestinians without US weapons. Tim can join reps of conscience in the House & stop the flow: (716) 852-3501/(202)225-3306.
