🗣️ In a searing address at the General Assembly, @FranceskAlbs called out member states at the UN to their faces for enabling Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and began by destroying Israel’s propaganda and smears against her. Brava, our favorite “witch” aka “nasty woman”! [PART 1]

Israelis pour cement into water springs to block them and prevent Palestinians from using them for agriculture. Those same people call themselves moral people.

Press freedom is sliding into a black hole of non-existence in Europe. Firing a journalist for asking the obvious question (If Russia must fund Ukraine's reconstruction, should Israel not fund Gaza's?) Along with any credibility Europe has left as a defender of European values

Bernie on Zohran: "One of the great political upsets in the history of this country. He's taken on the oligarchs who spent millions trying to defeat him. He's taken on Donald Trump. He's taken on the Republican establishment. He's taken on the Democratic establishment."

Chiese alla Commissione Europea del perché alla #Russia chiedono di pagare per l’Ucraina, mentre a #israele non lo chiedono per Gaza. Gabriele #Nunziati, giornalista italiano di Agenzia #Nova, è stato licenziato dopo qualche giorno da questa domanda. Di Giuseppe Salamone

Compare the headlines: @MiddleEastEye names a “Palestinian prisoner rape scandal,” while @BBCNews reduces it to a “video leak.” removing the victim and sanitising the story. When media erase context, they don’t stay neutral. they distort reality. #Gaza #Israel

Part of the panel discussion focused on the freedom of peaceful assembly and association, with insights from @Ginitastar. She highlighted that the core responsibility of states regarding these rights is not only to refrain from interference but also to actively protect them. However, she noted that national disparities in the interpretation and protection of these rights, along with inconsistencies across regional and global protection mechanisms, undermine both state obligations and the enjoyment of the rights themselves, including the principles of universality. Some governments adopt strict or narrow interpretations of these rights, resulting in situations where people in certain countries enjoy the freedom of assembly and association more fully than those in others. She also observed that restrictions are becoming increasingly coherent across jurisdictions, with some interpretations linked to the weaponization of widely agreed agendas. These are often used to stigmatise, harass, criminalize, or curtail dissent, take revenge against specific actors, weaken civil society sectors, and suppress the use of protest as a tool for expression and collective action. #ReimaginingHRDSafety #20YearsDefending

📍IRELAND Today, the trial of HRDs Áine Treanor, Aindriú de Buitléir and Eimear Walshe, is set to commence at Ennis Circuit Court in Ireland. The HRDs are charged with “trespassing” under the Public Order Act and “interfering with the operation, management and security of an airport” under the Air Navigation and Transport Act 1998. The charges were brought against the HRDs for a peaceful protest in which they entered the runway of Shannon Airport in Ireland to raise awareness of the airport’s use by the US military on 30 March 2024. If convicted, they may face a fine up to €250,000 and imprisonment of up to two years. Front Line Defenders calls on authorities in Ireland to ensure that all charges against the HRDs are reviewed with a view to dismissal, given that their actions were peaceful and undertaken in defence of human rights. 🔗Read the full urgent appeal: zurl.co/PlgOQ

🔴 The UN Commission of Inquiry found that “forced public stripping and nudity, sexual harassment including threats of rape, as well as sexual assault” are “standard operating procedure” of Israeli forces toward Palestinians, and that “other forms of sexual and gender-based violence, including rape and violence to the genitals, were committed either under explicit orders or with implicit encouragement by Israel’s top civilian and military leadership.” It concluded that “the frequency, prevalence, and severity of sexual and gender-based crimes perpetrated across the Occupied Palestinian Territory lead the Commission to conclude that sexual and gender-based violence is increasingly used as a method of war by Israel to destabilize, dominate, oppress, and destroy the Palestinian people.” 🎥 Video via @zeteo_news. @mehdirhasan interviewing UN Commissioner of Inquiry Chris Sidoti.
