Powerful footage of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza repeatedly disrupting Secretary of State Antony Blinken's testimony before the U.S.
Senate.
Just how many Israelis are surprised by what their country is doing?
Just how many Israelis are shocked by what their country is doing?
Just how many Israelis are willing to do something to stop it ?
Silence is complicity.
The world watches.#CeasefireNOW#GazaGenocide
The Carter Center, founded by former President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalyn Carter, called for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
“This weekend, Israeli forces moved into Gaza and intensified their devastating attacks. Israel, like all nations, has a right to defend itself; it also has the obligation of proportionality under international law. Violence will only beget more violence.We urge all parties to agree to a cease-fire."
If you think you've heard the worst possible take on Palestine, hold on to your hats.

Many peoples have tales of tragedy and displacement, but success comes when you are able to move on"
Fascism makes swift inroads when people start accepting the dehumanization and destruction of entire groups of people, and fascism's favorite response to those who invoke moral and humanitarian concerns about it is to label them "traitors" who are "supporting the enemy."

We understand it is cruel and inhumane behavior when it comes from non-state actors, like Hamas (rightly so).
But when wrapped in the office of government, then other governments bend over backward to rationalise the unacceptable.
But leaders can be wrong, even criminal. The moral position is to support the right of all citizens to live in peace and self-determinarion. Similarly, any action that breaks international law should be condemned. #CeasefireNow

Let them justify war mongering speech; civilian murder; starving people of food & water; carpet bombing; a children’s killing fields; ethnic cleansing & genocide.

South Africa calls for UN force to protect civilians in Gaza
South Africa has called for the United Nations to deploy a rapid protection force to protect civilians in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza from further bombardment as Israel steps up its retaliation for a deadly attack by militant group Hamas.
Here's a still from the sit-in at Liverpool Street station. The video doesn't really convey the scale but any of you who have been to Liverpool Street will be able to gauge the number of people there from this picture. #Solidarity#CeasefireNow#Gaza
@Amaru_Ca Yes, the sit-in itself was organised by Sisters Uncut and you're right, lots of commuters spontaneously joined in.
The longer our "leaders" continue to be on the wrong side of this, the longer the protests will go on. Like you, I can't see the momentum decreasing in the foreseeable, and I hope we're right. #FreePalestine#CeasefireNow
According to the Israeli military, the commander of Hamas' Central #Jabaliya Battalion was killed in an airstrike on the #Gaza Strip. Furthermore, they also claim that today they took control of a Hamas military stronghold in western Jabaliya and eliminated 50 "terrorists."
They killed several hundreds of innocent people in the process. But who is counting. One #Hamas operative was eliminated.
Remember they warned that anyone staying in those areas will be treated as terrorists, so they wash off their hands from any possible #accountability or #WarCrimes
