UN Security Council passes ceasefire resolution for Gaza after US abstains

📍 #Gaza : Despite the tragedy unfolding under our watch, the Israeli Authorities informed the United Nations that they will no longer approve any United NationsRWA food convoys to the north.

This is outrageous & makes it intentional to obstruct lifesaving assistance during a man made famine.

How many times in one week can this government show that they are terrifying and evil?

Now and always, I call for a free Palestine. #LBFVigil #LBF24 #ceasefirenow

Book Workers for a Free Palestine is a coalition of book workers – publishing workers, agents, booksellers, librarians, writers, translators, visual creatives – who have come together out of horror at the genocide taking place today in Gaza to call for an immediate ceasefire.

WHO shot them? Say it!!!!!

This is a bit like when companies think that constantly telling their employees that they’re one big family is better than giving them decent pay and good working conditions.

You all need to read this thread

We need to distinguish between what individuals may have done, and what UNRWA stands for. The organisation's tens of thousands of employees in Gaza, the West Bank and the region are playing a crucial role in distributing aid, saving lives and safeguarding basic needs and rights

They just get worse and worse. This is complicity in collective punishment. People are starving, and there's been nary a word about accountability for the more than 100 UNRWA staff (plus families) killed by Israel.

Bears repeating again &again that it took 112 days for these allegations to come forward & just after the ICJ released rulings.

Israel has killed 101 UNRWA workers in Gaza & has bombed its schools & camps.

Guess what you get when you google UNRWA & Israel now?

Cute to see 'feminist' websites writing today about the Oscars and women, when their silence around what the women of Palestine are going through has been LOUD.
