Impossible to ignore that the Israeli strike in Damascus has completely distracted from Israel’s failing war in Gaza, recruited the West in an escalation with Iran, and all while the man in the driver seat in Israel is not trusted by anyone and fighting for his political survival

Snowden showed that the US NSA 'secretly provided Israel with raw, unredacted phone and e-mail communications between Palestinian Americans in the US and their relatives in the occupied territories,' which could be used for targeting or arrest. thenation.com/article/world/…

There is literally no entity whose job it is to protect Palestinian civilians from Israeli terrorism. The PA can’t do it and the Israeli military/police won’t do it.

🚨We @HRW r 🗣️ on GermanForeignOffice to explain their actions!

How is it that a 🇬🇧🇵🇸Dr is 🛑& deported from 🇩🇪 & allegedly told it wld be a crim offence to even 🗣️ remotely or send a video message to a conference in 🇩🇪on his experience in Gaza?

Freedom of express is a right 🧵

New Interview: I talked to the journalist Yuval Abraham about his investigations into AI-backed targeting systems being used in Gaza, how Israel’s command structure makes decisions, & the controversy surrounding him being accused of antisemitism in Berlin. newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/i…

International Crisis Group says Israel 'directs aid to big families who agree to embrace its agenda, while targeting those who refuse, risking damage to Gaza’s social fabric in a way that a U.S. official noted is reminiscent of Mogadishu in the early 1990s'…

Let’s be clear: Relatives of combatants that are not involved in the fighting are civilians. Even political leaders—if uninvolved in military ops—are not legitimate targets under laws of war. Deliberate attacks on civilians are heinous war crimes that have no justification. Ever.

“About half of #Gaza ’s population is children. The government of Israel is pushing hundreds of thousands of innocent kids towards famine. It’s madness. It needs to stop.” - Andrew Stroehlein’s Daily Brief: trib.al/EAKkiOv

In Dec, Human Rights Watch found Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war—a war crime. Today, we detail—based on accounts from doctors & parents—its deadly consequences: famine & kids dying from malnutrition & dehydration. Sanctions & arms embargo on Israel needed. hrw.org/news/2024/04/0…

We do not accept the narrative of ‘regrettable incidents'.

We do not accept it, because what has happened to MSF International’s convoys and shelters, is part of a deliberate pattern of attacks on humanitarians, health workers, journalists, United Nations personnel, schools, and homes.

HRW has meticulously documented one of the many war crimes committed by Israel for which the Biden admin says there is simply no evidence for. 🙈 🙉 🙊

Gaza: Israeli Strike Killing 106 Civilians an Apparent War Crime hrw.org/news/2024/04/0…

Breaking: new Human Rights Watch report documents another apparent Israeli war crime—Oct 31 strike on central Gaza apartment building killing 106+ civilians, including 54 kids, many playing football. No evidence of military target—making strike unlawfully indiscriminate hrw.org/news/2024/04/0…

“Israel’s deadly attack on World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza displays the characteristics of a precision airstrike, indicating that the Israeli military intended to hit these vehicles. The attack underscores the urgency of the Int'l Criminal Court’s Palestine investigation.” Human Rights Watch

Netanyahu calling Israel’s killing of seven food-delivery aid workers in Gaza “unintentional” is not an explanation. What rules of engagement would lead Israeli forces to target a clearly marked convoy that had coordinated its movements with those forces? trib.al/pMcra5j

What do the laws of war say about attacks on hospitals?

'This is a famine that is unprecedented in modern world history,' Omar Shakir Human Rights Watch tells CNBC's Dan Murphy on the situation in Gaza.

'The people of Gaza have no independence in the future, their ambitions, their ideas or even their dreams.'

The following film was released in June 2022. On March 2, 2024, an Israeli airstrike reportedly killed Walaa Saada, the videographer who is featured in the film.

Filmmaker Walaa Saada told Human Rights Watch in 2022 that Palestinians 'keep imagining what life would be like wo occupation' & repression, as 'it's the breath of hope that allows you to keep living' here. An Israeli strike reportedly killed her on Mar 2. Listen to her
