PLEASE WRITE & CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES & the Whitehouse to demand that they stop helping Israel kill and starve children, commit war crimes, and maintain its brutal and racist apartheid, with our tax dollars.
Our government has the power to end this unimaginable cruelty by simply refusing to send more weapons and ammunition to Israel, and by also not vetoing any more UN Security Council resolutions for a ceasefire.
Israel has now killed over 12,000 Palestinian children in under 5 months, has orphaned over 25,000 more children, and has made over 800,000 children homeless during winter. And Israel is still blocking international aid to these children, increasingly killing them with starvation, dehydration, and disease, in addition to killing them with U.S. supplied bombs and ammunition.
They’ve literally been amputating children’s legs without anesthesia. Can you imagine if that happened to your child? Aid agencies have even had to come up with a new acronym: WCNSF, which stands for Wounded Child No Surviving Family.
This genocide will be a permanent stain on the reputations of both Israel and our country if we continue enabling this madness. The entire world is watching in outrage. And if you care about Israel, then you should also want to help it end its genocide and apartheid before Israel’s reputation is unsalvageable.
FREE MY PALESTINE! 💗
Yesterday, we delivered Valentines with thousands of signatures throughout Congress.
We urged them to embrace compassion and end the ongoing genocide in Palestine by calling for a ceasefire and restoring funding to UNRWA.
With over 100,000 Palestinians in Gaza killed, missing, or injured, it's past time for our government to have a heart and stop backing Israel's atrocities.

These U.S. representatives are a stain on our collective humanity. It is essential to vote them out and reject anyone who supports their destructive policies.
Remember that you have power, and it’s up to you not to relinquish it. Engage actively in local elections and every level of government because your vote carries immense influence.
The U.S. government is not just about presidential elections. Don’t fall for the idea that civic engagement is something you activate once every four years. That’s what they want you to believe, that your power is limited. In truth, you can shape U.S. policies and world affairs year round.
Learn, educate others, and work to create the world you wish to see. Start by voting them out.
Key elections that shape U.S. representation include:
• State Legislature (State Senators and State Representatives)
• Governor
• Secretary of State
• County Commissioners
• Judges (State and Local Courts)
Every election matters. The choices you make locally echo through every level of government, shaping the future of the U.S. and the world.
Start now. Your voice and your vote can steer us toward peace or cruelty. Don’t give up your power.

For a whole year, we've been in Congress pushing back against U.S. support for Israel's genocide in Palestine.
We've seen ignorance, silence, lies, propaganda, and outright hate from elected officials on both sides of the aisle, but we've also seen people from all walks of life take action in solidarity with Palestine like never before.
Whether Congress likes it or not, U.S. support for Palestine is only increasing. Eventually, they will have no choice but to catch up to us.

🚨BREAKING
In a new escalation condemning the massacre carried out by the Israeli occupation forces yesterday in Rafah, a group of protesters set fire to parts of the Israeli consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. 🔥
This act reflects the growing anger and outrage worldwide over the continued violence and atrocities committed against Palestinians. The massacre in Rafah, which resulted in burning, bombing and the destruction of displaced innocent's tents, has sparked international condemnation and calls for justice. 💔
The global community must recognize the intensity of these emotions and the urgent need for action to end the ongoing genocide. It’s time to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and demand accountability for these heinous crimes. ✊

With more than 500 Palestinians, including women and children, killed in the heinous Israeli attack on the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, following days of constant indiscriminate bombing and a life-threatening blockade on the Gaza Strip, there are some troubling questions we should ask: When will Israel cease its hostilities? How does destroying #Gaza help? How many dead innocent Palestinians, for #Israel and the West, are too many?
With thousands of deaths, more injuries, and widespread destruction, where entire neighborhoods, at least in Gaza, were reduced to rubble; there is another upsetting question we should ask: Who is winning in the Israel-Hamas war? #Palestine
This report exposes the brutal aftermath in Gaza following one hundred days of Israeli warfare.
Now extended to 236 days: what remains after this prolonged period of genocide and ethnic cleansing? Israel's barbaric onslaughts persist, leading to the merciless slaughter of thousands of innocent infants, babies, children, and women.
St@p the Gen@@cide right now!!!
Support Gaza to survive

SOUTH AFRICA’S 🇿🇦 new appeal calls for an urgent halt to israeli apartheid attacks on Rafah, which is sheltering hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians. SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 presented its argument to the court on Thursday. (The Cradle)

What happens if a UN Security Council resolution is violated?
UN Security Council resolutions ARE binding (contrary to what the US is saying). Israel breached the ceasefire resolution within hours, and last night bombarded Gaza again.
Chapter VII of the UN Charter states:
Article 41
The Security Council may decide what measures not involving the use of armed force are to be employed to give effect to its decisions, and it may call upon the Members of the United Nations to apply such measures. These may include complete or partial interruption of economic relations and of rail, sea, air, postal, telegraphic, radio, and other means of communication, and the severance of diplomatic relations.
Article 42
Should the Security Council consider that measures provided for in Article 41 would be inadequate or have proved to be inadequate, it may take such action by air, sea, or land forces as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and security. Such action may include demonstrations, blockade, and other operations by air, sea, or land forces of Members of the United Nations.
So first start is sanctions. The Security Council is no stranger to imposing sanctions. Since 1966, the Security Council has established 31 sanctions regimes, in Southern Rhodesia, South Africa, the Former Yugoslavia (2), Haiti (2), Angola, Liberia (3), Eritrea/Ethiopia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Côte d’Ivoire, Iran, Somalia/Eritrea, ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida, Iraq (2), Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, Lebanon, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Libya (2), the Taliban, Guinea-Bissau, Central African Republic, Yemen, South Sudan and Mali.
In 2022, the UNSC tried imposing sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. But Russia being an SC permanent member, vetoed it. So the resolution was not passed, but this did not stop Western countries (and many others) imposing sanctions on Russia.
So there's a precedent. Even if US vetoes any sanctions resolution, other member states can and should (to honour international law) sanction Israel. States can sanction fully or partially.
Yesterday 120 UK MPs wrote to David Cameron (Foreign Secretary) to ban UK arms sales to Israel - which includes parts of fighter jets and missiles. The UK government can do this immediately. Start with this.
This belongs on LinkedIn because a few of us will soon issue a note to Corporate Compliance and Risk teams. It's on companies to ensure they are not in any way complicit in a genocide (note the UN has just confirmed this IS a genocide).

BREAKING: apartheid israel is BOMBING civilian homes in RAFAH after the UN Security Council passed a ceasefire resolution.
ALL EYES ON RAFAH
➡ Where should the Palestinians in GAZA go?
🟢 Palestinians should be allowed to return to their stolen lands and to their homes that they were forcibly displaced from in HAIFA, AKKA and YAFA.

Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered.
But never before have I watched as soldiers enticed children like mice into a trap and murdered them for sport.

First genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time, and in vain hope that the world might do something.

Why is the world accepting the killing of 14,000+ Palestinian children in Gaza?
Stop the GENOCIDE in GAZA.

Srebrenica massacre happened 29 years ago and was ruled a genocide by the international court. 8 000 were killed and 25 000 displaced. The ruling was also upheld by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 2007.
The American judge that won the case on behalf of Bosnia worked pro-bono and says US and Israel are now committing genocide https://lnkd.in/gDP32K-q
Israel was way beyond these number already after 3 weeks. We are now seven months into the Palestine genocide. The main aggressors of the Palestine genocide will not act to stop it. The main responsibility lies therefore in the hands of other states.
