Lying #Israel & its feckless Western supporters of #genocide stopped funding to #UNWRA in #Gaza based on a LIE. That LIE has been exposed by the #UN. How many children have died as a result of the lack of aid occasioned by this lie? You don't need bullets to murder women & children when you are #israel, you can use lies. How do you #Zionists feel? Happier yet, or do you need some more dead children? https://www.palestinechronicle.com/un-report-israel-lacks-evidence-for-allegations-against-unrwa-employees/

“If the International Criminal Court wants to investigate what Israel has done in Gaza only since the 7th of October, it will be busy for decades.”

May I just say, fuck the Biden administration. The US and Israel are carrying out this genocide together.

The debate over whether to let people launch particles into the sky that would reflect sunlight back into space has been tabled after talks at the UN Environmental Assembly ended in a stalemate. @verge has more on the countries that tried and failed to establish tougher ground rules on solar geoengineering. https://flip.it/ugYSJr

The #US has blocked a statement, put forward by #Algeria and backed by all #UNSC’s 15 members except the US, to the #UN Security Council that would have condemned Israel for the killing of more than 100 Palestinians awaiting food aid in northern Gaza.
The US claimed it is trying to verify the “circumstances around how people died” to see if “we can find some language that everyone can agree on”.

This reminds me of the days after Saddam used chemical weapons against Halanbja in norther Iraq back in 1988, when US and UK used the EXACT same language to prevent the UN to condemn the attacks and blamed the "both sides" for the "loss of lives".

Back then the president was republican, now it's democract. So I guess, US foreign policy doesn't change much from the 2, when it comes to supporting "strategic" partners of US (at the time).

German politicians and media outlets are outraged that a jury member and the directors of the award-winning documentary “No Other Lands” condemn Israel for its war crimes at the Berlin Film Festival. 

Véréna Paravel who presented the award stated, "Now there can be no more denying the relentless abject horror of Israel, illegal military occupation, and settlements." The Palestinian activist and filmmaker Basel Adra urged Germany to respect UN decisions and stop exporting weapons to Israel.

Israel—a terrorist state committing genocide in Palestine backed by the US, Canada, and the UK—has just destroyed the office building of the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation in Gaza as retaliation a day after Belgium announced it would continue to fund the vital humanitarian work of #UNRWA.

Belgium is a member of the EU and NATO.

And if I may share this stellar interview of
Chris Gunness, utterly #British former chief spokesman for #UNRWA, blasting #Sunak's government decision to suspend funding of the #UN agency. https://www.channel4.com/news/uk-halting-aid-to-unrwa-is-wholly-disproportionate-and-punitive-former-un-agency-spokesman-says

You'd fully expect #Netanyahu to play dirty after the #ICJ verdict, but this is particularly nasty: 24h after the verdict, alleging #UNWRA [#UnitedNations Relief &Works Agency] employees in #Palestine are #Hamas terrorists, leading to their dismissal, thus seeking to undermine all #UN institutions & discredit UN impartiality. The #US & #UK immediately suspended funding to UNWRA, preferring a #humanitarian catastrophe & risking #genocide complicity over basic factchecking.

"[F]or me this is unprecedented because of, one, the magnitude, the scale, the entire population of a particular place; second, the severity; and, third, the speed at which this is happening, at which this has unfolded, is unprecedented. In my life, I’ve never seen anything like this in terms of severity, in terms of scale, and then in terms of speed."
