Struck by this saying of Goethe: “One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”

Such an important report, and full of issues that are very concerning from the perspective of health justice - a principle we have been working on and for for many years in the fields of #bioethics and #publichealthethics and #healthjustice.

Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral. This tragedy must end now. Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President: ms.spr.ly/63327sGyPt

Angesichts der akuten Hungersnot in #Gaza schlagen wir mit mehr als 100 NGOs Alarm: Nicht nur die Bevölkerung (ver-)hungert oder riskiert, bei der Verteilung von Lebensmitteln erschossen zu werden. Auch Helfer*innen und Kolleg*innen leiden Hunger und Not. #Israel muss die Blockade sofort beenden!

Es gibt hier keinen "Richter-", sondern einen "Diffamierungs-Eklat". Es ist das Zerstören von Menschen, Frauen vor allem, durch Fundamentalisten, digitalen Mob und deren medial-politischen Komplizen. Es sind Angriffe auf Wahrheit und Anstand - und alle, die sich daran beteiligen, wissen das.
