Forcible transfer of Gazan population is an act of genocide especially given the high number of children. Congolese or other States officials will be guilty of aiding and abetting genocide if they agree to any transfer of population. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

Tonight's assassination in Beirut is another proof that Israel wants to escalate violence, provoke a regional war, and then 'defend itself'. The more impunity and cover it gets from US and western governments, the less safe the world will be for everyone. Is it so hard to see?

Imagine, just for a second, that this was your home, your door. This *is* someone’s home, and they likely have no other… What possesses these men to find it funny is just beyond me. This is sick.

61 people drowned off the Libyan coast this weekend - a direct consequence of EU border externalisation to Africa.

Meanwhile the EU is negotiating an anti-migration deal with Egypt.

On #InternationalMigrantsDay , we demand and end to such policies: Frontex out of Africa!

And a third round! “President al-Sisi’s election to a third six-year term followed a campaign of arrests, intimidation, and onerous requirements for candidates that effectively prevented any meaningful competition…” hrw.org/news/2023/12/1…

EU border agency Frontex have been sharing coordinates of refugee boats in the Central Med with a ‘pirate’ vessel run by a Libyan militia known for kidnap & torture. The cooperation with the group, which is linked to Wagner, is an apparent violation of international law

Imagine these are the streets, homes, and signs that made up your life just weeks ago…Take the time to think what it would mean to you, and what it can do to the people who were not killed by the bombs. Has death become mercy in Gaza? #Ceasefire_Now ! #Accountability_now !

When a people or nation loses all confidence in themselves they compensate by breaking every imaginable rule in the book without guilt. So if Israel no longer believes in itself why on earth would we believe in it. It has ceded its right to exist. Yet we remain a generous people.
