Heartbreaking: A Palestinian bids farewell to his son, Jumaa Al-Ashi (3 years old), who was killed by Israel in the massacre of a displaced persons camp in western Rafah City.

As you watch the videos and images coming out of Rafah, remember that they come less than 48 hours after the CIJ_ICJ, the world's highest court, ordered Israel to halt its military offensive in Rafah.

This is what unchecked impunity looks like.

Today, you and I saw a baby held up to the camera without its head. Today, you and I saw the bodies of children, women, and men burned alive. Today, you and I saw missiles and 2,000 pound bombs rain on refugee tents.

Never again is now.

Does burning people in refugee tents count as a “serious offensive that fails to protect civilians” in Rafah Secretary Antony Blinken? Or are you still ok with this?

What level of depravity have we reached.

The laws of war were not established so warring factions could “kill children legally.”

In fact, it’s the exact opposite: it is never lawful to target civilians incl. children & parties need to do utmost to prevent civilian casualties.

You should be absolutely terrified by a society where leading publications start arguing that killing children is legal. If anything is a code red alarm, this is it.

I’ve lost count of how many images & videos we’ve seen of Palestinians in Israeli detention camps in horrific conditions w accusations/evidence of torture & killings.

What I haven’t lost count of is how many times this has been a conversation in our US news media:

قرار محكمة العدل الدولية بالتدابير التحفظية يلزم الأردن كدولة عضو في الأمم المتحدة و طرف في اتفاقية منع جريمة الإبادة اتخاذ اجراءات لمعاقبة الإحتلال، وهي مطالب الشارع الأردني منذ بدء العدوان على غزة؛ ليست مجرد مواقف عاطفية وأخلاقية وانما التزامات قانونية على الدولة تنفيذها.

Reuters has now done two separate fact checks on videos Zionists hysterically lie about showing Hamas referring to Israelis as 'sex slaves' or 'threatening rape', concluding its false. But Zionist propagandists are still repeating the same propaganda lie

Grateful to hear about the release of our colleague from Access Center for Human Rights (ACHR), who have been doing outstanding work documenting violations against Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

He shouldn’t have been arrested in the first place. Reports that he was severely beaten by the army are appalling

#Urgent_News :

Yesterday, my colleague at the Access Center for Human Rights was summoned by the #Lebanese_Army Intelligence in Ablah because of his human rights activism. He was on a hunger strike and was severely beaten all over his body, before eventually released

#ACHR will

Please read this by Kavitha Chekuru about the detention, disappearance and torture of medical workers in Gaza, including Dr. Khaled El-Serr.

“Unfortunately, when they knew that I am a doctor and general surgeon, they treated me more badly,” a doctor told her. theintercept.com/2024/05/24/gaz…

🚨The ICJ concludes that it should modify its earlier orders against Israel. Under the new orders:

Israel must immediately halt its military offensive.

Open the Rafah border crossing to allow in humanitarian assistance at scale

Israel must allow in UN genocide investigators.

Breaking: Int’l Court of Justice orders Israel to end its assault on Rafah. Govts must use their leverage—including arms embargoes & targeted sanctions—to press Israel to comply w binding CIJ_ICJ orders. Rules-based int’l order & lives of 2.3 million Palestinians hang in balance

The UN Syria Commission of Inquiry notes Paris court in absentia conviction of 3 senior Syrian Government officials for serious int'l crimes, highlighting both continued creative efforts with available domestic tools & glaring failure of international system to ensure holistic justice for #Syrians

The EU has led global efforts against impunity for egregious crimes in #Ukraine , #Myanmar , #Syria & elsewhere

It should show the same resolve for egregious crimes in #Israel and #Palestine . Whichever the perpetrator.
