A historical day no doubt considering how Palestinians were betrayed by the international community, and the #UN in particular when considering its charter, when partition was adopted against the will of the majority of people living in #Palestine in 1947. It’s not over yet, but the ability of the US to deny the Palestinians their rights by abusing an absurd veto power, are hopefully diminishing.
Israel seizes 'operational control' of Rafah crossing in Gaza - took down the Palestinian flag, raised the Israeli flag. This also chokes off aid from here. @israel@palestine
"Sadly, #GuineaBissau has allowed itself to become complicit in Israel’s deliberate #starvation, #illegalSiege and genocide of Palestinians in #Gaza. @israel is showing the world the extent to which it will go to deny Palestinians the aid they need to stay alive, in direct contravention of International #HumanitarianLaw, #UN Security Council resolutions, and two orders of the International Court of Justice #ICC@cij_icj . Israel is only allowed to get away with this because we have an international order where law does not apply equally, where people are not valued the same, and where might equals right. The US has hijacked #internationalLaw and is violating its own laws to protect Israel at every turn. A recently-leaked #USAID memo states that ' #famine in Gaza is inevitable,' and that 'changes could reduce but not stop widespread #civiliandeaths.' It also states that the government of Israel does not currently demonstrate necessary compliance with #USlaw required to receive #USmilitary aid. Nevertheless, last week, the #USCongress passed and Biden signed a $26 billion aid package for Israel. It is this kind of naked impunity, over decades, that has brought us to this point where Israel can carry out a #genocide "
