The French retailer @Carrefour announced a new partnership with the Israeli company @Electra Consumer Products and its subsidiary @Yenot Bitan which operates in illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.
This deal indicates Carrefour’s complete disregard for its responsibilities under international law, opting to enhance business profits from stolen land and human rights violations.
.@Société Générale, @BNP Paribas, @Groupe BPCE, @Crédit Agricole and @HSBC are of the biggest creditors of @Carrefour with loans and underwriting amounting to USD 7.49 billion in the period between January 2019 and August 2022.

Israel is bombing Gaza again. Gaza has been held under illegal siege for fifteen years - creating inhuman conditions for the inhabitants, more than half of whom are children. (1/4)
In what an Israeli official once grotesquely described as “mowing the lawn” it subjects Gaza to periodic systematic campaigns of bombardment - the last, most savage, took place in May 2021 when, over 11 days, Israel killed 260 Palestinians, more than 60 of them children. (2/4)
Today Israel began a renewed bombing campaign which so far has killed 8 Palestinians. Despite this barbaric record of violations of international law, the UK not only imposes no sanctions on Israel, but regularly approves military technology and arms exports to Israel (3/4)

Israel "committing the crime of apartheid against Palestinians", states @amnesty report — a position we've long argued.

The first step in dismantling injustice is calling things what they are. 1/6
@amnesty Justice for the Palestinian people requires:

- an understanding of the situation that has developed
- the proper use of words to describe that situation correctly...

#Apartheid is one of those words.

@amnesty Israel's dual legal system in the West Bank is just one example of apartheid. Repressive laws imposed on the Palestinian population are enforced by military courts – to suppress Palestinian dissent, quash resistance, and deepen Israel's military rule. 3/6

In a historic victory for Palestinians & human rights activists, US progressive democrats have stripped 1 billion of taxpayer dollars allocated specifically for apartheid Israel's Iron Dome system, reflecting a recent tidal change in US public opinion ➡️ bit.ly/2W0I9Qy
US public support for Israel is plummeting! Last week a @washingtonpost survey found 65% of academic experts believe Israel's actions are akin to apartheid. In May, @AAIUSA found 51% of US public oppose unrestricted military funding for Israel. Congress is beginning to catch up!
Instead of using US tax dollars to fund apartheid Israel's brutal siege, massacres & ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Palestinians, @POTUS @JoeBiden should listen to growing US public opinion & spend on healthcare, racial justice & education.

Israel is engaged in the world's longest military occupation, breaking international law & not willing to have its war crimes tried in the ICC

See human rights groups eg @hrw, @amnesty or @btselem

Of course we should #StopArmingIsrael & condemn its state sponsored terrorism
Even the Saudis, who similarly should have an arms embargo against them especially given their disgusting actions in Yemen, called Israeli action in Gaza as a war crime & “state-sponsored terrorism”

Source for Israel's occupation being the longest in the modern world:

Michael Lynk, UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, in a speech at the General Assembly.

1. Israeli war crimes, a thread:

Six years ago, Israel halted its 7-week aerial bombardment and ground invasion of the Gaza Strip.

2,200 Palestinians were killed
70% of them were civilians
25% of them were children
1000 kids were left permanently disabled

#StopArmingIsrael
2. Israel targeted residential buildings on purpose.

This is a war crime.

The UN estimates 178,000 homes were damaged or destroyed and 100,000 Palestinians left homeless.

Israel then barred construction materials going into Gaza to prevent rebuilding, leaving people in rubble.
3. Israel bombed several UN sites providing shelter for Palestinians, shelling 118 UNRWA facilities, of them, 10 health centres and 83 schools.

10 UN personnel and 44 civilians were killed. Israel has a history of killing UN peacekeepers, like the UNIFIL mission in 2006 & 2015.

Farnborough International #FIA18 is a major arms fair, with the UK government pushing international arms sales. Here are the military delegations they invited: gov.uk/government/new… #StopArmigSaudi #warStartsHere
The UK government has, of course, invited Saudi Arabia to shop for weapons at Farnborough. The Saudi-led bombing of #Yemen is utilising many of the weapons exhibited at #FIA18, from BAE's Eurofighter Typhoon, and Raytheon and MBDA missiles. #StopArmingSaudi
Shown here at Farnborough 2014 - some of the weaponry since used in the Saudi-led war on Yemen. Thousands of deaths and a humanitarian catastrophe later, the UK government is still pushing for *more* sales. #StopArmingSaudi #WarStartsHere #FIA18
