This is a logic explanation why the left wing #dogma supports a colonial project of ethnic cleansing, which is a crime under today's international law - actually (!?)

But with the whole spectrum of political ideologies working against Palestine (that is why there is no real action implemented), only the ones following humanity, with their flag flying high above all parties' motives can and must succeed to save a people. #ihl

⚠️ 📢 The Palestinian Presidency has strongly warned about the recent Israeli orders for the forced evacuation of the entire city of #rafah, which comes amidst a tragic toll of over 80 Palestinians killed by the Israeli war machine since the start of #eidulfitr

In a statement, the Presidency condemned the ISR displacement orders as illegal and a clear violation of international law.

Another article on the actual scandal within #signalscandal being the activity they were coordinating. Not the use of an app.


Trump's 'America Second' strategy of subjugating itself to Israel - in this case bombing targets that present no threat to the US in order to punish a group standing up to Israeli aggression against Palestinians, may likely be making US citizens less safe, not more. While breaking domestic law in defiance of international law. Sounds awfully familiar to Australian foreign policy.

In #Australia the relentless participation in US wars in the name of 'security' and 'alliance commitments' has demonstrably eroded security. While driving up costs and straining regional relationships. All while breaking laws, norms and conventions on behalf of foreign interests. While mouthing glib motherhood statements about 'the Rule of Law'. Empire sucks.

"Historically, the president has only been permitted to unilaterally order US forces to wage war in self-defense — if, say, US troops or civilians come under attack somewhere. But just as with Biden’s own Yemen strikes, that’s not what has happened here. Trump ordered these strikes in response to the Houthis threatening to resume attacks on *Israeli shipping. It’s worth noting, too, that the Houthis’ stated reason for restarting this blockade is as a response to Israel breaking the terms of the Gaza cease-fire and once more blocking humanitarian aid from entering the territory."

jacobin.comThe Real Yemen Scandal Has Zero to Do With Jeffrey GoldbergThe press is mostly framing the Yemen group chat scandal as a story of incompetence. There’s little attention being paid to the deadliness, illegality, and ineffectiveness of the strikes themselves.

Insufficient care to avoid killing civilians:
- 15 people killed in 2 residential buildings in Ibb governorate [1]
- 15 people killed, 9 wounded in residential area in Sanaa [1]

Military necessity? Former US diplomat #NabeelKhoury [2] says that the attacks were unlikely to be militarily effective [3].

"Filed hours before his killing in an Israeli airstrike, journalist Hossam Shabat describes the resumption of Israel's scorched earth campaign in his hometown of Beit Hanoun. - Hossam Shabat is dead. I am beyond rage and despair as I write these words. The Israeli military bombed his car this morning as he was traveling in Beit Lahia. " -- Sharif Abdel Kouddous

The consequences of Israel’s latest forced displacement campaign, masked as “evacuation orders”, in the #gaza strip—along with its renewed ground assaults and ongoing intense aerial bombardments—are already catastrophic.

Now the Euro-Med Monitor field team observed ISR forces advancing on foot into Beit Lahia on the evening of March-20, which resulted in the forced relocation of thousands of people to areas devoid of the most basic necessities of life #ihl

Some justify the use/re-introduction of anti-personnel mines (APM) on the battleground. A blog by Cordula Droege and Maya Brehm warns against this trend. It calls for reinforcing humanitarian norms as essential safeguards for upholding humanity in war. #IHL
