It is unfortunate that the ambassador of a country which is funding Israel's genocide of Palestine was invited as a speaker at a conference about civil rights in the 1st place. Surely, Asma wouldn't have allowed this to happen if she were alive. #AJCONF

In a surprising turn of events, Arabs are now sharing their support for the America Spring.

Dawn didn't need to cover the rest of his speech in this article thus further giving him a platform. We really don't care what he has to say. All we care about is demanding an end to genocide and a #freepalestine .

The organisers of the #ajconf should have known better. Calling the German ambassador was the 1st mistake; ignoring the criticism for the past few days was the 2nd, & throwing out activists speaking out for Palestine was the 3rd. Sad that this has stained an important conference.

More power to Ali Raza & the Progressive Students’ Collective for calling out the participation of the German ambassador at the #ajconf . No place for the representative of a country enabling genocide at a human rights conference. He's the one who should have been removed.

Only a few brave voices, including a prominent WHRD Dr Mahrang, are part of this event, but there should still have been more voices among marginalized communities. At least once a year, we should have the heart to give a platform to voices like Pashteen, Ali Wazir, & Sammi Deen.

All eyes are on the violent crackdown at US universities, but don't forget who they are actually protesting for. Don't take your eyes off Palestine where people are continuously being killed, maimed, starved every single day by the Zionist Israeli state.

With Germany's complicity in the genocide of Palestinians, there should be absolutely no place for one of their representatives to be speaking at a human rights conference. None.

It's important to hold people accountable, but it's also important to recognise that most of us are also complicit in multiple systems of oppression. Hold yourself accountable too.

The people of Lakki Marwat came out in the thousands today to demand peace and to demand and end to terrorism. As usual and has become the norm, the mainstream media chose to completely ignore the voices of Pashtuns demanding peace. We stand with the people of Lakki Marwat.

German Ambassador speaking at Asma Jehangir conference??!! Might as well invite the Israeli Government spokesperson to speak on human rights.
