We're taking the Trump administration to court. Today, Human Rights Watch, @afsc_org, @theCCR, and the Open Society Institute (part of @OpenSociety) filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's Executive Order 14203 and ICC-related sanctions. No one is above the law. Governments should step up to protect the ICC and those seeking justice before it.

The unbearable "unprotectedness" of childhood under Israel's cruel military rule. Same brutality for generations. And some pretend to believe "it all started in Oct 2023", and even call it "a war". #unchilding END GENOCIDE END OCCUPATION END APARTHEID
A stark example of Palestinians’ daily reality before October 7 under Israeli occupation: Israeli soldiers unleash dogs to violently attack and arrest a terrified Palestinian child. #GazaGenocide

AFSC welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza and a potential end to the genocide.  For two years we have called for an end to Israeli attacks, the release of all people held captive, and full humanitarian access to Gaza. afsc.org/newsroom/afscs-stat…

Today, Israel has launched a full military takeover of Gaza City, escalating famine and genocide. We urge the U.S. and global community to act now to stop it and hold Israeli leaders accountable. afsc.org/newsroom/israel-esc…

Trump’s latest EO sanctions the ICC and any group or person backing its probe into Israel’s war crimes. It’s another move by his admin to punish Palestinians seeking justice, even as they face genocide in Gaza. afsc.org/newsroom/afsc-conde…

It's been 4 months since Israel closed Gaza's borders. Now, Gaza is starving. The question is, what will we do now? Every hour that passes in Gaza means death by starvation, bombardment, or both for Palestinians— writes @YousefAljamal for @mypoliticstoday politicstoday.org/starvation…

It is projected that from April to September 2025, 244,000 people in Gaza, about 12% of the population, will face catastrophic hunger, due to extreme lack of food. That means death by starvation is no longer a risk. It is a reality. afsc.org/news/gaza-starving-…
