“Northern #Gaza is being razed to the ground, but the entire Strip is also being bombed. There is no #safe place… for #civilians to take shelter. People are being killed & forcibly displaced from their homes, & water & fuel are running dangerously low. Atrocities are being committed on a scale never before seen….”
When someone says that it is Israel's fault that there is no water in #Gaza:
Gaza could have water, pumps and water pipes were built with #EU 🇪🇺money. Hamas dug them up and turned them into #rockets for their #terrorist attacks.
#MSF open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: #Canada must call for an immediate #ceasefire in #Gaza. “The fundamental rule of #IHL, to which Israel is signatory, is that #civilians must be at all times distinguished from combatants and measures taken to protect them. The huge number of #children whose wounds we have treated or bodies we have delivered to hospital morgues obliterates any notion that adequate precautions are being taken to protect civilians. “ | MSF https://www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/canada-must-call-immediate-ceasefire-gaza/
Six people were reportedly injured and at least 4,000 residents from 11 villages fled their homes in Phyu Township, Bago Region, due to heavy shelling by Myanmar junta infantry since August 18....
it is so fucking evil and bleak to conduct a #military invasion, invite #settlers to live on the #land you just seized immediately afterwards, and then when the #people you invaded #fight back cry and whimper about the #civilians they're endangering
‘The practice of conflating everyday Palestinians with combatants—indeed a refusal to cast civilians as civilians—has echoed through the comments of influential Americans over recent weeks’

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, more than 170 civilians have been killed, and more than 400 residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed, in Russian attacks on Kyiv.
The volume of #HumanitarianAid delivered to #Gaza has collapsed in recent weeks as Israeli airstrikes have targeted police officers who guard the convoys, #UN ofcls say, exposing them to looting by #criminal gangs & desperate #civilians.
Each [of the 7] was given an initial 45 days for a snr ofcl to provide “credible & reliable written assurances” that it will use #UnitedStates defense material in accordance w/ #InternationalHumanitarianLaw & other laws.
The #LawOfWar imposes specific requirements on #targeting, protection of #civilians & treatment of #POWs.
Among many things, use of the word “#Zionist” sets off alarms for the many different people who hear it. Is it pure #antisemitism? Or is it an attack on the Israeli govt, whose snr leaders have expressed concern that the #ICC will issue arrest warrants for them? Is it an assault on the right of #Israel to exist? Or is it a demand that it not continue to exist w/in its current contours & constructs w/the #Palestinian people?
On college campuses, the tents represent one of many truths. In addition to the savagery of #Hamas on #Oct7, along w/the cruel holding of #hostages, alongside the shames of #antisemitism & #Islamaphobia, Palestinian #civilians are being killed by the thousands.
The #Republican-led UnitedStates House of
Representatives passed a bill on Thurs that would force President Joe #Biden to send weapons to Israel, seeking to rebuke the Democrat for delaying bomb shipments as he urges Israel to do more to protect #civilians during its war w/ #Hamas.
We know of first cases of executions of civilians by the Russian military
Report of a case when #Vovchansk resident was killed by #Russian soldiers. Police investigators had opened a criminal case on the grounds of violations of rules of war
Other #civilians are being taken into captivity and forced into basements, according to the minister.
The top U.S. #intelligence ofcl on Mon warned that the #war in #Gaza could embolden #terrorist groups, which are aligned in their opposition to the #UnitedStates for its support of #Israel.
“The crisis has galvanized #violence by a range of actors around the world. And while it is too early to tell, it is likely that the Gaza conflict will have a generational impact on #terrorism,” #ODNI#AvrilHaines, told an annual hearing on #GlobalSecurity#threats.
…#Republican Sen #TomCotton, a stalwart backer of #Israel, prodded #CIA Dir Burns & #ODNI Haines to refute allegations that Israel is “exterminating the #Palestinian people” w/its military campaign.
The officials declined to do so. Burns said that while the #Biden admin understands “Israel’s need” to respond to the brutal attack it suffered on Oct7, “I think we all also have to be mindful of the enormous toll that this has taken on innocent #civilians in #Gaza.”
UN experts say they have proof that Putin's army fired a North Korean Hwasong-11 series ballistic missile at civilians in #Kharkiv#Ukraine.
"Indicate procurement by nationals of the Russian Federation," they said, adding that this would be a violation of the arms embargo imposed on North Korea in 2006.
@skykiss like #russia care, they been denying that they target #civilians and using #chemicalweapons but still they just keep on doing all the bad things as they have veto in #UNSC and backed up by #ccp#china as they can get under market value oil from russia.
A singed document with russia is less worth than the paper it was written on.
