Today is #NakbaDay. 75 years ago a catastrophe was visited on the Palestinian people - the violent beginnings of Israel's occupation. It continues today.

@vonderleyen recently described these events as a "dream." That is unacceptable, and must be condemned. #VonDerLies #Nakba
A "tragedy" is a terrible event nobody is really responsible for. It is totally unacceptable for a German politician to use the @EU_Commission to minimise the historic crimes of the Nazi regime as a mere "tragedy," and in the same breath as she downplays the #Nakba. #vonderLies
It's beyond disgraceful for an @EU_Commission President to allow the propaganda lie "Israel made the desert bloom" to come out of her mouth, denying the prior existence of Palestinians in their homeland. We must oppose apologism for the occupation in #EU institutions. #vonderLies

1) Sheyam Ghieth is an Lgbt artist of Egyptian origin and she resides in the US. She is known for her illustrations on award-winning TV series Ramy. This is the story of how the BBC cancelled her. Because on her instagram account, some of her illustrations deal with apartheid. Image
2) I was a senior journalist at the BBC & part of an email chain about Sheyam. A producer had pitched a story on Lgbt figures from the Arab world and put in Sheyam Ghieth as a prospective interviewee. It is an Lgbt story - not about Israel. And Sheyam’s work covers a wide range. Image
3) Seniors objected to Sheyam Ghieth’s inclusion. The head of BBC Mideast desk Raffi Berg was cc’ed in. They had taken a peek at Sheyam’s Instagram account and some of her work was ‘controversial’. How? She called Israel an apartheid and declared her anti-Zionism. Image

🧵1 X de + @amnesty tente de présenter 1 mesure sécuritaire 🇮🇱 comme de l'#apartheid. A cette fin l'ONG invente l'expression "apartheid automatisé" pour décrire l'utilisation par 🇮🇱 de la technologie de reconnaissance faciale.@NGOmonitor démystifie les allégations du rapport >> Image
Mensonge #1 - Par omission, @amnesty ignore le contexte de terrorisme, décrivant la surveillance comme un moyen pour 🇮🇱 de contrôler les 🇵🇸 - aucune mention des dizaines d'attaques terroristes perpétrées par des Palestiniens dans des zones où la technologie est employée >>
Mensonge #2 - Amnesty affirme que l'utilisation par 🇮🇱 de la reconnaissance faciale est "discriminatoire" tout en ignorant qu'elle est utilisée dans un certain nombre de villes 🇮🇱 (port d'Ashdod par ex) pour détecter des individus suspects - sans rapport avec le conflit 🇮🇱-🇵🇸 >>

3 témoignages de suspendus,

Une infirmiere

«Je vis cette situation comme une grande violence, violence qui a eu des conséquences sur ma santé. Jamais de ma vie je n’aurais imaginé vivre une telle expérience traumatisante, une telle maltraitance. Je vis sur un petit pécule»

Infirmiere qui a eu le Covid (injustement suspendue):

"C’est une situation ubuesque. Psychologiquement, c’est très difficile à vivre. Je me sens paria, et je suis très angoissée pour mon avenir et celui de mon enfant: vais-je arriver à financer la fin de ses études ?"

Une aide soignante

"Je suis endettée. Je n’arrive même plus à passer en voiture devant l’hôpital, traumatisée par l’inhumanité… abandonnée, laissée sur le bord de la route, sans rien. Quand tous me félicitaient de mes qualités professionnelles… C’est dur, cruel, injuste."

1️⃣ @salah_hamouri, rencontré avec @GuillaumeGontard & @CTransnationale, a abordé la question centrale des prisonnier·ères politiques palestinien·nes. Lui qui a été emprisonné maintes fois -10 ans en tout- et a mené une grève de de la faim fin 2022, dans des conditions inhumaines.
2️⃣ Lui qui mène un combat pour avoir le droit de vivre à Jérusalem s’étant vu retirer arbitrairement sa carte de résident, le 18 décembre dernier, pour des raisons politiques. Lui qui appelle à défendre la liberté d’expression en France.
3️⃣ Selon @salah_hamouri, quand un prisonnier tombe malade « c’est le début de la fin de sa vie ». De plus, l’acharnement de la force occupante se poursuit jusque dans la mort puisqu’Israël refuse de rendre les corps des prisonniers morts aux familles jusqu’à la fin de leur peine.

From 93 blast to 26/11 to #Pulwama, Terror state #Pakistan not only bleeds India but refuses to punish the perpetrators of terror.
Instead of holding Pak feet to fire as a nation, we broadcast Pak PSL cricket matches?
India needs *Maharana Pratap* & Bhamashah to keep #IndiaFirst
#Pakistan makes #money from the #broadcast of these matches in #India.
Same Indians who outrage holding a candle light in hand after every Pak sponsored terror attack watch Pak teams play cricket?
Pak cricketers abuse our country & religion & Pak cricket benefits from our money??
Sporting ties & people to people exchanges are good but not when #Pakistan continues to use terror as an instrument of state policy & continues to bleed India.
1993: 257 dead.

Michael Mansell also wants to levy a race tax as a form of racial tribute to the supposed owners of the content.

3% of GDP would require at least a 12% raise in government revenue collection. This is just one demand from one group.

[1/6] The #UN Special Rapporteur for #HumanRights in the OPT, Francesca Albanese, has been under major attack, with accusations of anti-Semitism, for a social media post she made in 2014, for which she has apologised.
@FranceskAlbs
[2/6] The attacks coincide with publication of Albanese’s recent report addressing numerous Israeli human rights violations in OPT, and the inalienable right of #Palestinians to self-determination.
[3/6] Those on the attack cite a highly problematic IHRA definition of anti-Semitism, which broadly equates criticism of Israeli policies as being anti-Semitic.

📢 It's been 45 years since the UN established #PalestineDay - and Israeli authorities provide daily reminders of why we still need it. For how much longer will the world tolerate Israel's cruel #apartheid system?
Today and every day, we at Amnesty International stand with #Palestinians as they demand their rights in the face of Israel’s relentless attacks.

#EndIsraeliApartheid
We call on our supporters around the world to demonstrate their solidarity by speaking out, however they can, to demand an end to Israel’s apartheid.

Hoy es el Día Internacional de Solidaridad con el Pueblo Palestino 🇵🇸.

Otro año más, cabe explicar muy brevemente (no podré mencionar numerosos aspectos) cómo empezó todo en #Palestina-#Israel y cuáles son sus claves históricas.

🧵⬇️
La cuestión de Palestina:

-No se retrotrae 2.000 años atrás

-No es de índole religiosa (aunque el territorio se conoce como "Tierra Santa" y varios actores utilizan la religión como elemento legitimador)

-No hay un supuesto odio congénito entre personas judías y musulmanas
La cuestión de Palestina es contemporánea y colonial

Empezó en el s. XIX cuando 1 minoría de judíos europeos creó el movimiento #sionista

Su objetivo: crear 1 Estado exclusiva o mayoritariamente judío en el mayor territorio de Palestina

El sionismo no representaba al judaísmo

🚨1. Powerful open letters, ahead of the #ASP21, sent by 198 Palestinain, regional and international civil society organisations to the @IntlCrimCourt's Prosecutor @KarimKhanQC and the #ICC Assembly of States Parties President, @PASPFernandez🧵

2. Both letters called on them to condemn Israel's brazen designations of the 6 renowned Palestinian civil society organisations as "terrorists" and its raids of their offices which amounts to “tampering with or interfering with the collection of evidence.”

#StandWithThe6 Image
3. The letter to Prosecutor highlighted last year's significant missed opportunities to issue statements on the situation in Palestine, citing his office's policy paper providing for deterrent preventive statements that allow his Office to"react promptly to upsurges of violence." Image

📌 New publication: in a context of growing Israeli attacks against Palestinians, we are grateful to @PalStudies for helping us shed further light on the #persecution of Palestinian civil society as part of the crime of #apartheid #StandWiththe6 palestine-studies.org/en/node/1653268 1/6 Publication from the Instit...
Together with @JamilahRG @Susanrosepower & @pearceclancy, we argue that "#silencing & delegitimization of Palestinian human rights advocacy, as epistemic violence, constitute key tools to entrench Israeli #apartheid over the Palestinian people as a whole" 2/6
We draw on Article 2(f) of the 1973 Apartheid Convention, which recognizes as an inhuman act of apartheid the “#persecution of organizations & persons, by depriving them of fundamental rights & freedoms, because they oppose #apartheid#StandWiththe6 3/6

J'étais présente hier à une conférence de presse de soutien à la société civile palestinienne #StandWithThe6 .

Je suis ajd à Jérusalem avec la famille de #SalahHamouri, avocat et défenseur des droits humains injustement détenu.
1/7
#SalahHamouri est l’un des symboles de la répression contre les membres de la société civile palestinienne et du système d'#apartheid : 1. Parce qu'il est menacé d'être expulsé de son pays natal, son droit de résidence à Jérusalem lui ayant été retiré en octobre 2021.
2/7
2. Parce qu'il est en détention administrative depuis mars, sans savoir pourquoi. Aucune preuve, aucun élément matériel n'a été porté à sa connaissance, malgré les demandes de ses avocats. Sa détention est constamment renouvelée. Prochaine audience prévue le 4 décembre.

While the western #MSM conveniently is engaged in another campaign to rail selectively against #Iran’s treatment of woman, another example surfaces of #Apartheid #Israel legitimizing sexual assault against non-Jews without consequence.

🧵<Thread>👇

haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
To understand why some Israeli’s behave so abhorrently towards non-Jews, one has to understand that some Israeli’s believe in a fundamental interpretation of the Talmud that goyim (Non-Jews) are ‘sub-human’ compared to Jews, and are meant to serve them. Let’s provide an example.
The former Sephardi Chief Rabbi of #Israel from 1973-1983, Ovadia Yosef, interpretation of #Judaism was that: “Goyim (non-Jews) have no place in the world - only to serve the People of Israel.”
This highly influential cleric is by no means alone on this.

Democrats passed the laws (the #JimCrow #laws) that bullied private providers of goods and services into maintaining America's #apartheid, the #DemocraticParty's #policy of #separateandunequal.
1. #Trump's aggressive response when attacked;

2. #Biden's and #Hillary's unprovoked attacks on American citizens for holding different views on the uses of politics and power.
The Democrat Dimwits think that declaring half the nation deplorable and dangerous and seeking to put the Nation, like Bull Connor's dogs, onto the noxious #MAGA #Constitutionalists is their best path to dominance in electoral politics.

"Quando si parla di detenzione amministrativa, una delle politiche governative più aggressive immaginabili, essendo una forma di detenzione senza processo, è impossibile affidarsi all'Alta Corte di Giustizia.

Secondo un'indagine di @Haaretz, ⬇2
il tribunale non ha accolto nemmeno una petizione di annullamento di un ordine di detenzione amministrativa dall'inizio dell'anno.
L'Associazione per i diritti civili in #Israele non riesce a ricordarsi nessun caso in cui l'abbia fatto, non solo quest'anno, ma mai. ⬇3

Ground realities continue to shift the #Israeli-#Palestinian conflict away from the two-state solution that the #EU has long pursued.

The 🇪🇺 badly needs to update its approach.

[Thread] 🧵👇
crisisgroup.org/middle-east-no…
Events in 2021 put Europe’s outdated policy in sharp relief:

The outbreak of violence, including the 11-day #Gaza war, showed how volatile the conflict remains.

Meanwhile, #Israel rejects a negotiated two-state solution & Palestinian leader #Abbas cancelled overdue elections.
Europe blindly hews to its modus operandi: bolstering a faltering #Palestinian Authority against the Islamist group #Hamas, while shying away from serious efforts to encourage change in #Israeli policy.

🧵Here are some thoughts on Israel committing The Crime of #Genocide which I wrote back in 2016 - in response to @Blklivesmatter excellent statement on Israeli genocide and white-supremacist @PeterBeinart's attempt to once again protect and promote Israeli #crimesagainsthumanity:
"Let's talk #genocide. First, I am very proud of #BLM for wisely acknowledging the genocidal tendencies of the State of Israel and for sticking to that language along with the natural demand for the end of ethnic-supremacy, occupation and #apartheid.
At the outset it should be made clear that there are (at least) two very distinct understandings of the term "genocide" - one which is the rigid legal definition of the term and the other involves the social, moral and historical understanding surrounding it.
