Es ist einfach unfassbar, dass in anderthalb Jahren offenbar nichts – wirklich, nichts – über die Kriegsführung dieser israelischen Regierung in Gaza verstanden wurde.
Der grausame Hamas-Terror gehört bekämpft. Aber humanitäres Völkerrecht gilt, mit besonderer Schutzverpflichtung für zivile Orte. Wie soll ein Krankenhaus in weniger als 20 Min. evakuiert werden? #Gaza (1/2)

27 pages of Palestinian children who did not reach their first birthday because of Israel.
Twenty seven.

Hierzu wird es leider keine Interviews, Solidaritätsaufrufe oder ähnliches von @tagesspiegel, @SZ, @tazgezwitscher geben. Die kriegen nur weiße Journalisten wie Potter, die munter weiter ihre palästinensischen Kollegen als Terroristen brandmarken, um deren Tötung rechtzufertigen.

Israel recently committed the largest child massacre in its history. The numbers are not reported in the Israeli media, and if they are – it's always minimized | Opinion | Hanin Majadli

Israel bricht mit dem Segen Trumps das Waffenstillstandsabkommen mit der offenen Ankündigung eines Verbrechens, das schon schon jetzt eine zentrale Rolle beim laufenden Völkermordprozess in Den Haag spielt.
Auch hier sollte Europa sich endlich emanzipieren.

I don’t even have words for how cynical this is. Help obliterate a place, drive out most of its people with weapons and words – then, once the dust settles, act shocked in light of the entirely predictable outcome. Clown behavior.
#Gaza lies in ruins; the scale of the destruction is shocking. We all agree that Gaza must be rebuilt as swiftly as possible. We Europeans stand ready to do our part together with the US and our partners in the region. - @ABaerbock 1/3

📌 Check out @estariade and @FTSchaefer recently published research report!
The findings show encouraging progress: SIRAYE-supported factories saw wage growth, reduced working hours, improved benefits, and fewer harassment incidents. However, challenges like inflation, union resistance, and the lack of a minimum wage policy require ongoing attention.
Title: “ONEILO-SIRAYE Programme Ethiopia: Evaluation Report”

"For over 40 days, people besieged in North Gaza governorate have been facing diminishing conditions for survival. All attempts by the UN to support people in North Gaza have been denied or impeded: bakeries and kitchens have shut down, nutrition support has been suspended, and the refuelling of water and sanitation facilities remains restricted."
People besieged in North #Gaza are facing diminishing survival conditions.
All attempts by the UN to support them result in #AccessDenied or impediments.
But in central-southern Gaza too, there's a stark increase in severe hunger.

Lieber Herr @RonenSteinke ,
Wollen Sie den Vorwurf mangelnder Komplexität ausführen? Mir ist an Überzeugungsarbeit nicht an einem Schlagabtausch gelegen, daher verstehe ich auch, falls die Antwort “nein” lautet. Meine Position mit mehr Komplexität hier:

Israel is using the same script in Lebanon that it used to justify the total destruction and mass slaughter in Gaza because they faced no consequences. US weapons continue to flow and the media continues to whitewash.

Ethiopian Economics Association study says extreme poverty skyrocketed from 2015-2022.
With conflict, tension in Ethiopia and the Horn, and whatever is left of the defense budget going to low productivity urban projects, the worst may be yet to come, especially rural poverty.

Tony Judt, Masha Gessen, Etienne Balibar unter der Headline „Zu viele ausgezeichnete Antisemiten“ zu listen – langsam aber sicher wird die von mir geschätzte Taz teils ununterscheidbar von der BILD-Zeitung. Politisches Irrlichtern nach rechts für die Klicks – bitter mit anzusehen

Solidarity from @KingsCollegeLon as over 200 academic staff join the boycott against Israeli universities and complicit corporations. It's time to end the genocide, illegal occupation and apartheid in Palestine. #KCLDivestNow #KCLendComplicity
