Notice how quickly the FCDO moved to cover its arse with legal bullshit after the #ICC announcement, literally months after a Tory minister let the cat out of the bag about the UK Government receiving legal advice on #IsraelWarCrimes - legal advice they've effectively denied exists.
Die-In For Life-In Gaza, 18th May 2024, Old Town in Warsaw, Poland
Organized by the collectives Wschód and Kefija, it was a die-in protest commemorating 76th anniversary of Nakba - the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians during the war in Palestine in 1948. Particularly significant in the context of the on-going genocide in Gaza.
I'm not Rafał Milach and I'll cut my usual irrelevant yadda-yadda to say this: if you know enough of history, either of your own country or theirs, it's very hard not to feel sympathy to those folks. Listening to their stories was incredibly heart-wrenching.
Essential, horrific and heart testimony from Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, a pediatric intensive care physician who works with Medecins Sans Frontières and co-founded @Gaza Medic Voices
“No matter where you look, no matter where you go, there’s destruction, there’s devastation, there’s loss. There’s a lack of everything. There’s pain. There’s just incredible suffering.”

Morehouse Students Show Solidarity With Gaza During #Biden Commencement Speech
"It is my stance as a #Morehouse man, nay as a human being, to call for an immediate and permanent cease-fire in the #Gaza Strip," said valedictorian DeAngelo Fletcher.
Robbie Sebel, academic in International Law at the Israeli Hebrew University, based in West Jerusalem is on 'Inside Story' (Al Jazeera).
Absolutely mind boggling wilful denial of the overwhelming evidence of Israeli war crimes and genocide in #Gaza. He'd better hope the programme isn't being viewed in The Hague.
"The #Israeli#Lavender system, supported by artificial intelligence, identifies Palestinians by tracking their communications via WhatsApp or the groups they join."
According to the UN, the number of Palestinian #refugees, who were expelled from Palestinian villages and cities during the #Nakba to Gaza, is approximately 1.4 million out of a total population of over 2 million, constituting two-thirds of the population in the besieged enclave, which has been suffering a new Israeli Nakba for the past seven months.
Rajha Abu Khalifa is one of many refugees in Gaza, who are older than Israel.
Again, about 800,000 people, half of #Rafah's population, are forced to flee due to the Israeli invasion.
The claim that civilians in Gaza can go to safe areas is false
Humanitarian organizations no longer have resources such as food and essential items to prepare
The time has come to agree on a ceasefire and any further escalation will cause more suffering to civilians.
