📲 Jamal Abd Rabbo, 12, receives care from his mother in a camp for displaced Palestinians west of #GazaCity, after suffering burns from hot food being poured on him during a scramble to get a little food from a charity kitchen

🗨️ This is why it's crucial to deliver and distribute food supply and meals in a safe environment and in an orderly manner. Children in particular need security zones to receive meds and food #ihl

"Germany is open about its uninhibited support for Israel‘s war of extermination and genocide in Palestine, and wants to make sure the entire world sees it."

"Establishment forces have translated Holocaust remembrance chiefly as support for Israel, elevating its protection to a German Staatsraison (national interest) coupled with zero tolerance for criticism of Israel, which is automatically treated as antisemitism".

"Vor 1948 versteckten zionistische Milizen Waffen unter Schulen, Synagogen und Kibbuzim und nutzten jüdische #Zivilisten als Deckung. Dieselben Taktiken, die Israel heute als „menschliche Schutzschilde“ bezeichnet, waren einst eigener Weg zur Staatlichkeit."

🗨️👩🏽‍💻 There are too many people out there, who earn a lot of money with the #genocide in #palestine - even the ones claiming to be on the "right side of history", which is per se an incorrect statement -#history is the record of all sides - the assessment of what is morally wrong, depends on ethical values, and these vary globally

🔹 In order to support victims of crimes, everyone has to educate local communities about humanitarian law #IHL- that's the key point 👇🏽

@appassionato Meaning? That it's the same effect now for the starving population if no food arrives? Who is he to decide who can survive or not? Yes, children are going to die from the refeeding syndrom, but many will survive! I don't believe anyone's change of mind-set after 11 years in the IDF serving a sick apartheid regime - they have no conscience, they could have bring change long ago, now they are just trying to save their own a*ses!
"Suffering" Israelis?!

📰 Report YPA AUG-13

"The planned escalation, if carried out, would mark an unprecedented chapter in Israel’s ongoing #genocide, committed openly before an international community that continues to provide political, financial, and military cover to the perpetrators. These forthcoming #crimes would be premeditated, arising not from sudden developments on the ground but from a deliberate and public policy."

Euro-Med Human Rights MonitorIsrael’s plan to invade and fully occupy the Gaza Strip portends imminent mass slaughter amid global indifference Any escalation in Israeli military attacks, especially ground operations in the Gaza Strip, would cause unprecedented civilian slaughter

📢 Statement #ngo EMERGENCY AUG-08

“Military escalations and the total occupation of #gaza in order to free the hostages is a strategy that is doomed to fail, and will only cause further suffering. We all know that the only road to peace is a permanent ceasefire to stop the massacre of civilians, the establishment of safe #humanitarian corridors, unhindered entry and access of aid, and the restoration of international #law.”

“The ICJ warned of a serious risk of genocide… already…in early 2024 [thus obliging States] to prevent genocide in Gaza.

Whatever the exact moment was of ‘crystallisation’… as genocide, it is without a doubt that we are witnessing a genocide now in Gaza, and state parties to the Genocide Convention are failing in their obligation to prevent and punish genocide.”
