I questioned in this op-ed why the abuse of flotilla activists has drawn more condemnation than the Gaza genocide. The answer is: White supremacy that sorts victims but also predators. Read it here on the @newhumanitarian: thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2026/0…

🧵So why is this a problem ❓ 👉 Because the EU continues to treat settlers as if they are a separate issue, rather than a core feature of the Israeli state, which has been built and sustained through policies of displacement and ethnic cleansing.

EU Foreign Ministers just gave the go-ahead to sanction Israeli settlers over violence against Palestinians. They also agreed new sanctions on leading Hamas figures. It was high time we move from deadlock to delivery. Extremisms and violence carry consequences.

Dear EU Commission, Can you please stop hiding behind the image of being the "largest humanitarian aid donor" while maintaining business as usual with the very ones creating the "humanitarian crises" in the so-called "war-torn Middle East"? Merci!

The 21-point plan is the #Gaza Riviera Plan in sheep’s clothing w threat of annihilation. ✔️no Palestinian self-determination ✔️Israel maintains control of borders, air & sea space ✔️co-led by Trump & Blair ✔️no accountability for a single person or company for #genocide

The UNGA voted overwhelmingly today to “endorse” the New York Declaration put forward by France & Saudi Arabia. Among its many problematic provisions, the Declaration supports a “stabilization force” (with many bad elements as well), instead of a protection force as such. But the resolution adopted today does NOT mandate a stabilization force. It merely called for one to be proposed in the Security Council, where the US will certainly veto it. The push therefore continues for an emergency special session of the UNGA under Uniting for Peace to adopt “further measures” in association with the one year UNGA deadline last year. Those measures could still include: sanctions, military embargo, denial of Israel’s credentials, a tribunal, anti-apartheid mechanisms, and a protection force. It is an uphill climb. But as the genocide rages, let all delegations say yes or no to the call for protection (not normalization) under the glare of publicity (not in the shadows of Turtle Bay).

Pour obtenir une sorte d'amnistie, elle feint maintenant l'amnésie??? Méprisable, honteux, infâme.

And that, folks, is a blanket lie. Don’t let Germany get away with this.

Germany’s Annalena Baerbock, infamous for her active and enthusiastic complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people, for disseminating the Israeli regime’s genocidal propaganda, and for publicly justifying its war crimes, was sworn in today as President of the UN General Assembly. In her first address, she stumbled clumsily through a chain of empty platitudes and blatant hypocrisies, posing triumphantly from her podium of impunity. This day marks yet another stain on an organization already badly sullied by two years of inaction during a live-streamed genocide. Shame on the member states that willfully handed the keys to the UN to this ignominious figure, just as the UNGA is being called upon to act to stop Israel’s extermination of the Palestinian people. #Shame

@DropSiteNews Not the slightest sign of moral integrity. Despicable!

BREAKING 🇵🇸🇹🇳 The Global Sumud Flotilla’s principal boat, Family, has just been struck by a drone attack in the port of Tunis.

45 UN experts have issued an urgent appeal for an emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly to demand an end to Israel’s occupation of Palestine, as genocide and a man-made famine unfold in Gaza. They endorse our call -along with over 1,000 organisations worldwide- for a UN-led international humanitarian convoy to coordinate and oversee all crossings into Gaza. - Here is their statement: ohchr.org/en/press-relea… - Here is our call for the Diplomatic Humanitarian Convoy: law4palestine.org/unified-call-t…

The Americans Stealing Palestinian Land. Settler ambitions are fueling the elimination of Palestinians and profiting from it. They live among us & benefit from US laws. A global criminal conspiracy. #Zionism #Nakba #genocide #settlercolonialism thenation.com/article/world/…

Intentionally killing those on the ground who document the genocide will not make the genocide invisible. Rather the contrary.

We condemn the United States’ unlawful and politically motivated sanctions against @alhaq_org , @pchrgaza , and @AlMezanCenter , Palestinian human rights organisations targeted solely for their legitimate work in documenting int'l crimes and pursuing justice in the face of ongoing genocide. This is not only an attack on human rights defenders. It is part of a broader attempt to silence the Palestinian people and their allies worldwide, who are demanding dignity, accountability, and the inalienable right to self-determination. Instead of punishing those defending HR and int'l law, States must respond to the ongoing genocide, starvation, and destruction in #Palestine by imposing sanctions on Israel and taking urgent measures to end its regime of settler-colonial apartheid and illegal occupation. From Gaza to the Global South and beyond, we affirm: impunity must end. We will not be silenced. All States have a legal and moral obligation to protect human rights defenders, uphold the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, and confront all forms of persecution, repression, and collective punishment. Silence is complicity. Solidarity is a duty. Speak out. Mobilise. Defend Palestine. Uphold international law. #LoudAgainstGenocide #EndImpunity #StandWithHRDs

Francesca Albanese, the U.N. special rapporteur on Palestine, has been sanctioned by the Trump administration for documenting and demanding accountability for Israeli crimes. "I'm not going to step back and I'm not going to stop my work," @FranceskAlbs says of U.S. pressure.

Today the UN-backed IPC has declared famine in Gaza City and its surrounding areas, which it describes as ‘entirely man-made'. Our new report, authored with @WorldPeaceFdtn, breaks down the architecture of genocidal starvation, concluding that the Israeli model for aid distribution in Gaza has exacerbated mass starvation in Gaza and contributed to the breakdown of Palestinian civil society. Our analysis shows how Israel's new ‘military model’ for aid, implemented through the GHF and now also airdrops, is deliberately dangerous and ineffectual, and can by no means be considered ‘humanitarian’. In the words of Alex de Waal, Executive Director of @WorldPeaceFdtn: ‘The dehumanization of Palestinians, the stripping of basic dignity, and the tearing apart of the fabric of the community are not accidental byproducts of the mass starvation inflicted on the people of Gaza. There is every reason to believe that these are what Israel intends through its militarised ration system.’ Read an overview of our findings here: forensic-architecture.org/investigation/…, and our full report here: bit.ly/4mqFw1j

A ceasefire is not enough. The Israeli military’s weaponisation of aid and starvation to displace and destroy Palestinian society will not stop as long as Israel controls aid distribution. Our new analysis shows how Israel has imposed a deadly aid system through GHF ration
