West Bank Sanctions on individual settlers are political theatre. "One cannot meaningfully sanction settler violence while maintaining full diplomatic, economic & military support for a regime that is, by definition, a settler regime." "To sanction one while legitimising the other is not accountability; it is complicity." #WestBank #USPol #Europol #BDS .
Under the "Uniting for Peace" resolution, the UN General Assembly can mandate an armed emergency force to Gaza. The UN General Assembly is not subject to veto. The US cannot stop it. This can work. Petition #unitingForPeace #un #USPol #EuroPol #BDS @palestine group .
Interview: "For the first time, two leading Israeli human rights groups — B’Tselem & Physicians for Human Rights -- have accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza." B’Tselem says “Israel is taking coordinated action to intentionally destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip... the textbook definition of genocide.” #USPol #EuroPol #B’Tselem #GazaGenocide #palestine @palestine group .
Analysis: "Israel’s genocide is big business & the face of the future" Business & military planners welcome the new ‘legal maneuver space’ to slaughter & starve civilians. Pro-genocide nations are normalising Israel's genocide so that they, too, can "commit crimes against humanity in full view." This is why they are so intent on presenting genocide as business as usual & demonising its opponents. #GazaGenocide #USPol #EuroPol #BDS #Racism @palestine group . image
Interview: GHF sites: "They're criminal", says retired US officer, Anthony Aguilar, who worked there as a contractor. "I witnessed war crimes". "At the hands of the IDF & US contractors". Aguilar said he had never witnessed such a level of "brutality & use of indiscriminate & unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population."

Analysis: The US & Israel, alone, voted against a 2021 UN resolution to make food a human right. The Gaza aid blockade foretold: "The UN resolution was adopted despite opposition from Washington & Tel Aviv." It reaffirmed that “starvation of civilians as a method of combat is prohibited under international humanitarian law." #UN #USPol #EuroPol #IsraeliCrimesAgainstHumanity #RightToFood #palestine @palestine group .

Israeli police singled out & assaulted Handala member Christian Smalls... who happens to be Black "Christian was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists." "The Freedom Flotilla Coalition condemns this violence against Chris & demands accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced." #Racism #IsraeliCrimes #USPol #EuroPol #FreedomFlotilla #GazaGenocide #BreakTheSeige . image
