Netanyahu just told press that Gaza City and the middle areas are the last 'Hamas strongholds', which Israel wants to invade, control and thus intensify its illegal occupation of. Hundreds of thousands displaced Palestinians are currently crammed into overcrowded tent camps in those areas. (1/3)

Francesca Albanese sanctions ‘create chilling effect’ on UN experts, warn rapporteurs - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/Francesca-albanese-sanctions-create-chilling-effect-warn-rapporteurs

Had the honour to talk to Francesca Albanese about her new report on private profteering from the Gaza genocide. Check it out on my Substack. open.substack.com/pub/melissam...

"Accept our conditions (which will likely benefit Israel) or we will genocide you even more" May I remind everyone that Israel is committing genocide - there doesn't need to be a 'deal'. Israel is obliged to end the genocide and its illegal occupation. Fully, immediately & with no conditions.

NEW: Israel’s Ynet reports the war cabinet is split over a core dilemma: whether to sacrifice the lives of Israeli captives to defeat Hamas—or secure their release at the cost of leaving the group in place. The report says the situation has reached a crossroads.

Over the past month, 549 people were murdered at the Gaza 'aid distribution sites'. More than 4000 were injured. This blatantly obvious weaponisation of aid is illegal under international humanitarian law and must be stopped. (1/2)

Israel hat heute bereits über 70 Menschen in Gaza ermordet. 50 davon wurden umgebracht, als sie versuchten, Lebensmittel zu besorgen. Eine Bevölkerung auszuhungern ist ein Kriegsverbrechen. Zivilisten zu erschiessen, die auf Essen warten, ebenso. Wann wird Israel endlich zur Rechenschaft gezogen?

The Israeli army announced that it plans to occupy 75% of Gaza within the next two months. The entire population will be pushed into a tiny area, while daily massacres are likely to increase. This is ethnic cleansing, occupation and genocide in plain sight. (1/2)

If Gaza taught us one thing, it is that journalism is dead. Neutrality doesn't exist, even if it is upheld as a journalistic ideal. But in reality, neutrality is used as a tool to distort facts, excuse war crimes and neutralise a conflict that is not neutral. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Israel attacked yet another hospital in Gaza. This marks yet another war crime on a long list of war crimes. And yet again, there are no consequences. No sanctions. No weapons embargoes. No condemnations. No headlines in our media, no outrage on our streets. We failed the people of Gaza.

"We're going to get" Greenland, threatens the President of the United States. Totally normal.

As you watch Trump berate and put his hand on Zelenskyy just ask yourself one simple question: could you ever imagine him speaking to Putin like this?

Israeli tanks have entered the occupied West Bank for the first time in two decades as Israel intensifies its operation there. States should act to prevent atrocities and allow Palestinians to return to their homes.

🚨JUST IN | Netanyahu says he is “committed” to Trump’s plan for Gaza, which involves forcibly expelling more than two million Palestinians from Gaza. “Just as I have committed to, on the day after the war in Gaza, there will be neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority.

A new Lancet study based on official Gaza Health Ministry numbers for fatalities between October 2023 and September 2024, shows that the life expectancy in Gaza has fallen by approximately half, a loss of 38 years (-51.6%) for men and 30 years (-38.6%) for women.

Es würde mich sehr interessieren, wie der Westen reagieren würde, wenn Putin offen sagen würde, er wolle die Ukraine einfach für sich haben, die Tore zur Hölle eröffnen, alle Menschen vertreiben, ihnen die Rückkehr verbieten und eine 'Riviera' auf den Gräbern von zehn Tausenden Ermordeten erbauen.

Closing down book stores really screams 'the only democracy in the middle east'

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

To all the self proclaimed 'anti-fascists' who are currently out on germany's streets to protest the far right but didn't do a thing about the gaza genocide - or even defended it:

A child has been killed by unexploded Israeli ordnance in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, according to the Wafa news agency. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ooog3i

Trump spricht klar und deutlich aus, wovor wir seit über einem Jahr warnen: Der Plan war und ist, alle Palästinenser aus Gaza zu vertreiben und das Land zu stehlen. (1/3)

This is not self defense. This is terrorism.

Der US-palästinensische Journalist Ali Abunimah wurde heute in Zürich festgenommen - von mehren Personen in ziviler Kleidung. Augenzeugen geben an, er sei gewaltsam auf den Boden gedrückt und anschliessend in einem zivil aussehenden Auto abgeführt worden. Die Zeugen dachten, er wurde entführt. (1/5)

Ali Abunimah was detained in Zürich today. He will remain in administrative detention until monday when he is due to be deported.

Literally cannot believe what I just watched.

A ceasefire is not the end - it's the bare minimum and merely the start. Do not belcome silent and keep advocating for human rights.

Funny how the media were quick to frame palestine supporters, who called for peace, as antisemitic, while the richest person walking this planet can give a Hitler salute and no antisemitism accusations are being made.

Following the Gaza ceasefire, Israel has intensified its military actions against Palestinians in the West Bank. In Qalqilya, over 60 Palestinians, including children, have been detained amidst a series of mass arrests.

Vielen Dank.

Absolute insanity. Every single international humanitarian organisation is talking about Genocide and peaceful protestors are still being punished?

In 2024, Palestinians were killed every single day in Gaza. For the entirety of the year, we failed to end the first ever live streamed genocide in history. There is nothing to celebrate. I hope that 2025 brings some much needed peace to Gaza and the whole region. تحيا فلسطين

Not enough people understand the severity and cruelty of the fact that the Rafah border has been closed since May. No one wants to be a refugee, but Palestinians dont even have the choice to become one. They are forced to stay in a slaughterhouse. Forced to endure this Genocide.

Syria still matters: • 2/3 of Syrians have been forced to flee their homes • 7 million are refugees, another 7 million are displaced within Syria • Syria has the world’s largest refugee crisis So let’s not be surprised that Syrians rose up again to reclaim their homes A history 🧵

"Ceasefire"

What happened to Marine Vlahovic? The outspoken pro-palestinian journalist was reportedly working on a piece about israeli war crimes in gaza - and was recently found dead in her home in marseille. We need answers.

According to UNIFIL, Israel violated the Lebanon "ceasefire" deal around 100 times within just six days. At least nine people were killed in the past couple of hours. The message could not be clearer: Israel doesn't want peace. We need sanctions and weapons embargos now.

Germany openly admitting that they won't arrest Netanyahu 'because of the Nazi past' is really something. Our past should have taught us to respect international humanitarian law and to prevent genocide - not to let it happen again & even support it. Absolutely ashamed of the government.

I would like to remind everyone that just a few months ago, Netanyahu was received in the US Congress with standing ovations. May we never forget that an official war criminal was cheered on by US politicians while committing genocide. May those images forever remind us of the complicity of the US.

The icc just issued an arrest warrent for netanyahu!

No suprises there. The US is an active participant in the genocide.

If the transition to green energy requires children in congo die in cobalt mines, then I don't want it. Less consumtion, less luxury and less production is the answer.
