#ClimateDiary A short 🧵 on why #Gaza is, and should be, a concern for the climate movement. I know the vast majority of you lovely people on here do see the connection, but just in case some of you don't, I wanted to briefly outline this. For me, there are four separate, key reasons why Gaza is not a "distraction"; why all climate activists should speak out on it. #ClimateAction 1/5
« Alors que l’#Allemagne tarde à dénoncer les crimes perpétrés par #Israël contre le peuple palestinien, le chercheur #HenningMelber propose une analyse sur les liens existants entre la #ViolenceColoniale, le #génocide des Namas et des Héréros au début du XXe siècle, la Shoah et la position actuelle de Berlin vis-à-vis de Tel-Aviv. »
I missed this but just started listening - so good and important. Ilan Papee and Pryam Gopal discussing Hall's West and the Rest in relation to Israel/Palestine. You need to understand the longer term geneaology of framings of Israel as the West, Palestine as the Rest. #Gaza
Dutch police were seen attacking pro-Palestine protesters in The Hague with batons on Thursday, as the demonstrators attempted to break through a police line barring them from reaching and occupying the Ministry of Education building.
Several protesters were injured as a result of the police intervention, although no arrests were reported.
Protests at Dutch universities have spread in recent weeks but have often been met with harsh police response.
"The #protesters carried a banner that said “It is right to rebel, #Hillel go to hell,” with an inverted red triangle on it, which has come to signify support for #Hamas on social media because the terror group uses the symbol in videos of its attacks. The student demonstrators repeatedly formed inverted triangles with their hands, flashing the symbol at the counter-protesters. Another protester brandished a banner that had a #swastika inside a Star of David while shouting: “#Synagogue of Satan.”
The pro- #Palestinian, anti- #Israel demonstrators chanted “From #CUNY to #Gaza, globalize the #intifada,” and “Hillel, Hillel, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?”
Families of Palestinian prisoners are kept in the dark about the fate of their loved ones at a time when Israeli prison authorities are creating conditions unfit for human life.
Oxfam: “It is a disgrace that a ceasefire is still not in place and that [international humanitarian law] is broken by Israel time and again with full impunity.”
Civilians are being forced to move in a circle of death. That's how UN officials are describing life in Gaza.
Thirteen Palestinians were killed and several others wounded early Friday morning in a series of airstrikes, which targeted central and northern Gaza.
A desalination plant in Nuseirat has also been attacked, claiming more lives in the same area Israeli missiles killed at least 40 people at a UN-run school on Thursday morning.
“The strike happened around 2 a.m. And from what we understand, there are between 35 & 45 people killed. Many of them are children.
We also remind that this being an UNRWA shelter, up to 6,000 people had sought refuge & safety inside that school”
“We’ve been hearing about precision strikes and about reports that some of the UNRWA or U.N. installations have been used by Palestinian armed groups. We hear about this every time a strike kills scores of civilians in or near our buildings.”
“Since the beginning of this war, Gazans have been issued what the Israeli government calls evacuation orders. In reality, these are orders for forced displacement.”
“A ceasefire is what everyone in Gaza needs right now, just to take a breath and have some respite. But in addition to the ceasefire, there has to be a much increased flow of humanitarian assistance going in”
Sarah Katz, a Jewish activist who once lived in Gaza says a society that she found tolerant and empathetic is being erased by Israel.
Katz tells TRT French she lived among Palestinians for two years and as a Jewish woman she has never experienced anti-Semitism or intolerance.
Katz, who is a member of French Jewish Union for Peace, says she helped Palestinian farmers and fishermen to combat Israel’s blockade of Gaza and acted as a human shield.

Residents of the northern Gaza Strip are suffering from a worsening systematic famine crisis, as the occupation imposes a stifling blockade on the entry of basic food supplies.
Since the beginning of the war, the entry of rice, sugar, frozen goods, meat, poultry, eggs, vegetables and fruits has been completely prohibited.
