Wat een erg pijnlijke politieke episode. Minister @hadjalahbib, die zich ook met risico of genocide vooral in stilte hult, blokkeert de erkenning van Palestina (voorgesteld door @carogennez & @pdsutter). De argumenten die ze levert zijn internationaalrechtelijk onverdedigbaar 🧵
Syria has increasingly fallen off the international radar. Looking forward to next week's Syria conference and plenty of civil society activities in Brussels next week.
Looking forward to the panel discussion on mobilization efforts for the missing in Syria!

Top political official states that Hamas
1) is willing to agree to a truce of 5 yrs or more
2) would lay down weapons & convert into political party if Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 border.
An offer that Israel will never ever consider.

With a heavy heart I announce that my 18-year-old younger sister, Lara Sayegh, was killed today on her way from Gaza City to the south. She and my mother were reaching Egypt for safety. My angel collapsed as she was walking on the “safe route” past the Israeli checkpoint, in an…
The fact that Israel won’t stop the war to return the hostages is going to have long term consequences for Israeli society and for the IDF. A deep fracture in the social contract and belief in the state- the exact values that helped
Build and maintain the state
As a lifelong teacher and academic, it deeply pains me to see repression of campus protests. Students must be allowed to peacefully organize and voice their opinions. University leadership should fiercely protect this right, not target their own students for arrest and expulsion.

About time: ook Duitsland hervat financiering aan UNRWA in #Gaza.
Israël deelde - meer dan 2,5 maanden na lancering frontale aanval op #UNRWA- nog steeds geen concreet bewijs voor aantijgingen. Die, zoals gewoonlijk, op los drijfzand gebouwd zijn.

Israel still has no proof of Unrwa terrorist claims, Colonna report shows. Yet, the damage to the aid agency is done.
Those donors that fell into Israel’s trap urgently need to resume funding.

Don’t let anyone gaslight you: the controversy/outrage/accusations/condemnations aren’t about HOW the students & faculty are protesting, they’re about WHAT students & faculty are protesting.
All power to the students @Columbia@nyuniversity@Yale and other universities who are speaking out against genocide, despite the repression and the smear campaigns. I hope these protests spread to all US campuses and to campuses in the UK, Germany and other complicit countries
The global rise in authoritarian regimes represses free thought & speech writes David T Goldberg. Now, we must confront the extent to which societies that self-characterize as liberal democracies made it clear they are ready to restrict critical expression

I repost this poem because of "the genocide bouqet" that remains in effect, confuses itself for solidarity or reduces genocide to a social justice reflex, a ceiling for what talking about genocide (of Palestinians) in America is

A mass grave uncovered at a hospital in southern Gaza.
Nearly 300 bodies, some with hands and feet tied. It is unclear "if they were buried alive or executed."
AT A HOSPITAL.
This depravity must end & Israel must be held accountable.

What @BarakRavid and most news outlets have been calling a sanction against IDF Netzah Yehuda unit is incorrect (except for @BrettMmurphy who broke story at @propublica) It’s not an added punitive manner. It is enforcement of Leahy Law. This thread by my colleague explains it.

Almost seven months of destroying Gaza and wiping out entire families and places, with no effective results- Israeli leaders are now saying they will apply more of it -and somehow expect a different result
Niets is zo erg als lijden in stilte, betoog ik in @destandaard. We staan vaak machteloos tegenover grootschalig onrecht. Solidariteit & empathie zijn in die veelheid geen must. De erkenning van nood om meester te zijn van het eigen verhaal, is dat wel.

This account by a veteran Jewish Israeli photographer Shaul Golan who was beaten and assaulted by Jewish settler militia in occupied West Bank got lost in all the news. It happens daily on various levels to Palestinians. It’s starting to happen more to Jews as well
‼️‼️ Breaking: 🇪🇺 stelt, voor 1ste keer, sancties in tegen 4 extremistische kolonisten en 2 organisaties die terreur zaaien op West Bank
👏 Belangrijke doorbraak, met dank aan 🇧🇪 dat hier sinds eind '23 voor ijverde. Cruciaal dat het hier niet bij blijft
