@plink@palestine@israel Having now skimmed through dozens of updates on that link, 1,000s of words, the fact that #Israel conducted an illegal act of war against a civilian building on Iranian soil that killed 16 people recently is never mentioned, with the missile strike on #Damascus is only vaguely mentioned 3 times. It is never labelled an 'unprecedented escalation', despite that being just as true as the latest development.
Also not mentioned by the #NYT is the fact that the 1st April Israeli strike was widely condemned as yet another breach of international law —by the #UN, the #EU, the #ArabLeague, the #OIC, the #GCC and dozens of national governments—but was not condemned by the US government.
Also not mentioned at all the highly pertinent fact that Israel (and its primary backer and weapons supplier the #USA) has spent six months committing atrocities against millions of civilians in #Gaza, with more children, more journalists, more healthcare workers, more humanitarian aid workers, and more UN employees violently killed than in any other conflict since at least the Rwandan genocide (and in some cases going back to WWII). Israel is responsible for the most rapid deterioration of the nutritional status of a civilian population since WWII.
OIC welcomes South Africa move to file genocide case against Israel
“OIC stressed that Israel, the occupying power, is committing a genocide by its indiscriminate targeting of the civilian population, killing and injuring tens of thousands of Palestinians, forcibly displacing them, preventing them from obtaining basic needs and humanitarian aid and destroying buildings, and health, educational and religious institutions.”
#ArabLeaders and #Iran 's president are in the #Saudi capital Saturday for a #summit meeting expected to underscore demands that fighting in #Gaza end before the #Israel#Hamas war draws in other countries.
The #EmergencyMeeting of the #ArabLeague and the Organisation of #Islamic Cooperation #OIC comes after Hamas #militants bloody October 7 attacks that #Israeli officials say left about 1,200 people dead, mostly civilians, and 239 taken hostage.
For Arab nations, Gaza catastrophe a mere blip in normalising relations with Israel
What has provided Israel complete impunity is the increasing indifference of Arab countries towards the Palestinian right to a state, writes Zahid Hussain.
