UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese passionately condemns the global community’s silence & lack of empathy for the Palestinian people.

@ASE quoting @FranceskAlbs at the UN in NYC

“I AM NOT THE STORY, the story is that Palestinians risk being erased … The only way to comply with international law is imposing sanctions against Israel. May this be the last genocide in human history.”

@Raminho Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the #OPT @FranceskAlbs:

"The institutions of the state of #Israel, a self proclaimed rule of law system – the executive, the parliament, the courts – have failed to contain and redress abusive power.
Instead, together, they have advanced the course of the current catastrophe.

And while international tribunals will hopefully hold individuals accountable, the responsibility of the state must be understood and assessed in its own right and cannot wait. This should have been stopped already by the Security Council last October, after three early warnings issued by dozens of UN independent experts, when the #ICJ passed its first set of provisional measures, when I presented my first report, or before #Rafah was invaded, or before the invasion of #Lebanon.

And instead, the silence, or worse, the justification of a small but very influential number of states in this room leaves me utterly lost of words. And yet, wherever there are lives to save, there is still the urgency to intervene to prevent new atrocities that will further scar human history.

Make that moment be now."

The ordinance dropped by Israel on Gaza exceeds the combined tonnage dropped on Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Dresden, Hamburg, and London during World War II.

Beautifully stated. Instead of school & college studies on international human rights, western elites want to force a biased so-called anti-Semitism down the throats of the young that ignores Israel’s crimes since the murder of your precursor Count Bernadotte.

Zionists are sick.
These are their paratroopers wearing the clothes of displaced Lebanese women.

This is “Western civilization.”

مهما مَرت مشاهد يبقى هذا المشهد هو الأثقل! الصورة الأخيرة!

No matter how many scenes pass, this scene remains the heaviest!

Chris Sidoti, an International human rights lawyer from Australia working as a UN investigator along with former International Criminal Court judge Navi Pillay, has slammed Benjamin Netanyahu for the Gaza conflict. He also shut up an Israeli reporter, who made a desperate attempt to question the latest findings on Israeli excesses by these two UN experts.

This video has the best bits from the press covering that both Sidoti and Pillay held on 30 October.

Haaretz is Israel’s largest newspaper.

Israel’s own press is speaking more truth than the entire US mainstream media.

Israeli Justice Minister Yariv Levin is demanding a 20-year prison sentence for citizens who call for sanctions against Israeli leaders and military personnel.

09 Can Zionism survive the current war in Gaza?

Israeli historian Ilan Pappé believes it can’t. In fact, he argues that the liberation of Palestine is an inevitability.

Pappé is the author of 24 books on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and most recently published two books: ‘Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic’ and ‘A Very Short History of the Israel-Palestine Conflict’.

This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we sit down with Ilan Pappé to talk about where the Zionist project originates, why it embraced settler colonialism and why he believes it will ultimately fail to achieve its goals.
