قبل عام، هجّرت #إسرائيل سكان 3 مخيمات فلسطينية في #الضفة_الغربية. هذه الجريمة ضد الإنسانية بحق 32 ألف شخص ما زالت مستمرة مع منعهم من العودة. يجب التحقيق مع نتنياهو ووزير دفاعه كاتس وفرض عقوبات على القادة الإسرائيليين المسؤولين عن هذه الانتهاكات. توثيقنا لهذه القضية مؤخرا: https://bit.ly/4a1y2OU

Heute jährt sich die "Operation Iron Wall": Seit einem Jahr riegelt Israel mehrere Flüchtlingslager im #Westjordanland ab. Dabei wurden 32.000 Palästinenser vertrieben. Es ist die größte Vertreibung seit 1967, ein Kriegsverbrechen & vorsätzliche Politik des Staates Israel. Der Bericht vom November👇

"Israel’s forced removal of 32,000 West Bank refugees is not a lawful evacuation," writes @hrw.org's @nadiahardman.bsky.social. "It is a war crime of forced displacement" that is "intentional Israeli state policy," per statements by Israeli officials.

Israeli forces have killed Palestinian journalists Mohammed Mansour and Hossam Shabat in Gaza. In 2024, Palestinians accounted for nearly 2/3rds of all journalists killed worldwide, some of them deliberately killed by Israeli forces, per the Committee to Protect Journalists. This is no accident.

A dark time for democracy in Türkiye. The order to detain Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu is the latest example of the justice system being weaponized to cancel the democratic process. His detention violates the rights of millions of Istanbul voters.
