There are many ways in which Israel is destroying the Palestinians in Gaza. Creating unsustainable and inhumane conditions of life is the most complex and cruel. Do not call it "war". It is a genocide. The motives are irrelevant. The intent (ie the determination) to destroy is evident and unequivocal. As unequivocal is the complicity of others states.

"The violence that Israel has unleashed against the Palestinians post-7 October is not happening in a vacuum, but is part of a long-term intentional, systematic, State-organized forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians" reports UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs
My new report is out - available in all UN official languages: undocs.org/A/79/384 Genocide is a complex and insidious crime; proving destructive intent is an onerous task - yet not when it is so ostentatious, sustained by a political doctrine of ideological hatred and articulated through institutional structures and policies.

Nuova ricerca di @liminal_lab dimostra la collaborazione di Frontex al respingimento verso Libia e Tunisia, sottolineando che la sorveglianza aerea sul Mediterraneo non ha come obiettivo il salvataggio delle persone in mare ma quello di evitare che queste arrivino in Europa 1/2
Una nuova ricerca di @liminal_lab racconta il ruolo di #Frontex nei respingimenti verso Libia e Tunisia. Intanto @front_LEX e @RefugeesinLibya chiedono alla Corte di giustizia di fermare la collaborazione dell'Agenzia con le milizie libiche 👉t.ly/ZQ6WV

You don’t shut down the media unless you have something to hide. One reason the Israeli government has been able to carry out nearly a year of genocide is because it’s deliberately silencing coverage from Palestinians and other journalists on the ground.
🚨The Israeli military has just publicly accused 6 Al Jazeera journalists of being "terrorists" in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. This is an assassination threat and an attempt to preemptively justify their murder.

As @HossamShabat said on live today, "if you can, just tweet. A tweet can help protect the journalists and their integrity as they are continuing to be targeted [by the IOF]. This tweet could be used to spread awareness of the plan the Zionist entity has for the journalists ... inside the Gaza Strip, so that [the IOF] can create [a] media blackout and silence the voices within."

Whenever journalists are allowed to check, Israel’s claim that militants’ bases are beneath hospitals is revealed for what it is: the excuse to bomb civilians. This is the lesson learnt from Gaza since 2008.
Israel claims Hezbollah is using a bunker under a Beirut hospital so @alexrossiSKY went to have a look & talk to a doctor there. He didn't find any evidence, because there isnt any. What Israel is doing is creating a pretext for attacking the hospital. Just like they did in Gaza

For decades Israel has violated intl law, incl UN res. & ICJ orders. This year it has bombed dozens of UN premises, killed hundreds of UN staff, accused UN officials of "terrorism" & "antisemitism" among others. Now it is attacking peacekeepers. When will Israel be #UNseated?
UNIFIL statement: Early this morning, peacekeepers at a UN position in Ramyah observed three platoons of IDF soldiers crossing the Blue Line into Lebanon.
