There are dangerous signs Israel intends to escalate attacks on Lebanon and raise the stakes with Hezbollah. If it does, the risk of a regional war grows enormously. The only way out is to end the fighting in Gaza.
@glynmoody Is it contemplatable that Netanyahu also be put on a multilateral's sanctions list for being commander-in-chief of IDF's crimes against humanity, and also be put on Interpol's Red List for being a clear and present danger to innocent children and the public-at-large?
Eleven United Nations employees in Yemen have been detained by Houthi rebels, authorities say, and workers for other aid groups have also likely been taken. The detentions come as U.S.-led airstrikes on Houthi rebels after they started targeting shipping vessels in the Red Sea corridor in response to the war in Gaza. The Associated Press has more.
The unfolding genocide in Gaza is the latest chapter in Israel’s attempt to remove Palestinians from their land. All those calling for a ceasefire should join in the longer-term efforts to dismantle Israeli apartheid.
#GazaPier repaired, #US to resume #aid, #Pentagon says
US & #Israel reattached a floating pier to the #Gaza coastline Fri, ofcls said, as the #UnitedStates prepares to resume #humanitarian ops. Vice Adm Brad Cooper, a snr US military officer overseeing the mission, said deliveries of food & other badly needed supplies will begin “in coming days.” The first will include 500k pounds of aid, w/thousands of tons more in the pipeline behind it.
#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
The first reason is the simple fact that the bombardment of Gaza is a complete disaster also in terms of environmental destruction and CO2 emissions. This point is somewhat secondary for me (or rather, should not be paramount for anyone, given the suffering of the people in Gaza), but one that does also need to be made.
Unwavering Western support for Israel's onslaught on Gaza has made it crystal clear that our governments do not care about killing of 10,000s of people; about the wholesale destruction of a land. These are not the people to rely on for climate action! They will not do it! The climate movement needs to see this, and indeed many do: there is a real shift in tactics from trying to appeal to those in power to act, to active resistance. #Gaza is teaching us this.
