#Israeli officials have obstructed a UN investigation into alleged sexual crimes committed by Hamas fighters during the 7 October 2023 Al-Aqsa Flood operation, fearing this would open the door to a probe into the rampant allegations of sexual violence against Palestinians inside Israeli torture camps.

According to a report by Israeli daily Haaretz, Tel Aviv rejected a request from Pramila Patten, the #UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General on #SexualViolence in Conflict, to investigate the allegations against #Hamas after she established that a necessary condition would be access to Israeli detention centers to probe claims against Israeli soldiers.

Nevertheless, since the start of the Israeli genocide in #Gaza, #humanrights organizations have documented dozens of accounts of the rampant sexual violence inflicted on #Palestinians inside Israeli detention centers.

And now the real face of #zionazis: On 27 August, Channel 14 hosted one of the Sde Teiman guards accused of raping Palestinians on one of its programs. The soldier stated, “The military police treated us really nice... You see the support … With a hand on their heart, like, telling you ‘thank you’!”

Interview: Francesca Albanese on the failure of the UN system to stop Israel's genocide:

"Many states are not stopping Israel because of political convenience, ignorance, & racism.

"Our govts are violating international law the moment they do not use their influence to stop the genocide.

"The responsibility is upon us as ordinary citizens to hold our govts accountable. Justice for Palestine starts at home."

Where is the protection of the Palestinian people from erasure, from annexation, from illegal occupation, and apartheid. This is what we need to discuss… hmmm?”

Climate activist Greta Thunberg is in Georgia, attending a protest against the decision to allow Azerbaijan to host COP29, the annual United Nations climate conference. She and other activists argue the major oil producer is a repressive state with a history of ethnic cleansing, and the U.N.’s choice to hold the talks there provides “a chance to greenwash their crimes and human rights abuses.” Read more from @AssociatedPress.

Analysis: "International law laid to rest"

“What Israel has done is maintained an occupation, an apartheid regime" paid for by international funding.

Israeli ministers can call for settlements in Gaza only because Israel’s trade ties continue to be normal.

“Where are those arrest warrants, sanctions, the questioning of whether Israel can be a member in good standing?"

~Daniel Levy

Kids are not terrorists.
Australian UN expert lashes out at Netanyahu, shuts up Israeli with facts & their benefits by mentioning the advantage that Israel has taken during decades long wars where Israel has not done its duty, ignored human suffering & allowed UNWRA stand for the help they should have taken responsibility for themselves.

#UN rights chief says 'darkest moment' of Israel's war on #Gaza is unfolding in the north - https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/oct/25/israel-lebanon-gaza-hamas-hezbollah-middle-east-latest?page=with:block-671ba1178f08d3f94c2b9a98#block-671ba1178f08d3f94c2b9a98 "Unimaginably, the situation is getting worse by the day. The Israeli government’s policies and practices in northern Gaza risk emptying the area of all Palestinians."

“If Israel is suspended from the U.N. General Assembly, we will move to limit American participation and funding across the U.N., including U.N. Programmes, Funds, and Other Entities and Bodies, as well as its Specialized Agencies and Related Organizations, both those in which the PLO participates and generally,” Cruz writes in the letter.

Oh, this? It’s just an American author for Times of Israel casually suggesting that they should carpet bomb and drop napalm on Irish peacekeepers.

(Please remember not to criticise this. You wouldn’t want to be called antisemitic.)

The worldwide catastrophe of rising seas especially imperils Pacific paradises.

AP reports: "The United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization Monday issued reports on worsening sea level rise, turbocharged by a warming Earth and melting ice sheets and glaciers. They highlight how the Southwestern Pacific is not only hurt by the rising oceans, but by other climate change effects of ocean acidification and marine heat waves."
