"The Rwandan genocide is 1 of 2 events in the 1990s that prodded a guilt-ridden world to pledge never again to stand aside & allow mass atrocities. The other was the massacre by Bosnian Serbs of thousands of Muslim men & boys in Srebrenica the following year. In 2005 the UN General Assembly adopted the principle that all countries have a “responsibility to protect” (R2P) people from genocide and war crimes, by force if necessary."
"HM Government is committed to a robust and transparent export control regime for military, dual-use and other sensitive goods and technologies'

Hey, I’m thinking of setting up a new song contest where you can vote as many times you want for the contestant of your choice (but only 20 votes per credit card, we don’t want it to appear like a money grab after all). I’m also thinking it should be a safe space for apartheid states committing genocide. Oh wait, sorry, Eurovision already exists.
While dialysis is still not available in #Gaza , medical staff now report they don't have supplemental oxygen anymore so people who need it can just fucking choke to death.
Most moral army making sure the atrocities are as horrible as they can be.
There is only one party blocking fuel, food, medical supplies to Gaza. It's not complex.
The stench of hypocrisy surrounding the Eurovision this year was just astounding.
While Israel was performing at #Eurovision, their troops were murdering displaced Palestinians in Rafah, bombing UNDP building and invading parts of Gaza they had declared "safe" for refugees.
And then this POS hypocrite who was so strongly supporting the ban on Russia 2 years ago is now acting like "music and entertainment is not politics".
How many #Eurovision songs tonight mention "love" while ignoring #Israel's message that they must commit #genocide, including so far the mass murder of 14,000 children?
@verdantsquare There is no value the empire and its client states would not sacrifice to supports its settler colonial project's genocide against indigenous people. From 1700s to 2020s, same as ever.
It is impossible to support what #Israel has been and is doing in #Gaza unless you believe at some level that Israelis are more deserving of safety and security than Palestinians.
This is true regardless of whether you believe Israel's actions constitute #WarCrimes or #genocide.
There is no way to justify Israel's conduct that is not racist and xenophobic.
If this post offends you, I suggest you spend a good long time thinking about why.
Can you see the level of brutality Palestinian's are going through, they are being displaced from their homes to an unknown place.
The Israeli military has told residents of central Rafah to evacuate, signalling a major expansion of its military operations in the city and threatening the displacement of hundreds of thousands more people.

Lyrics:
The people they won’t leave
What is threatening
about divesting and wanting peace?
The problem isn’t the protests
it’s what they’re protesting
Cause it goes against
what our country is funding
Block the barricade until Palestine is free
Block the barricade until Palestine is free
When I was 7 I learned a lesson
from Cube and Eazy E
What was it again?
oh yea
fuck the police
Actors in badges
protecting property
And a system that was designed
by white supremacy
But the people are in the streets
You can pay off meta
you can’t pay off me
Politicians who serve by any means
AIPAC, CUFI and all the companies
You see we sell fear around the land of the free
But this generation here
is about to cut the strings
You can ban tik Tok
take us out the algothim
But it’s too late
we’ve seen the truth we bare witness
We’ve seen the ruble the buildings
the mothers the children
And all the men that you murdered
and then we see how they spin it
Who gets to the right to defend
and who gets the right of resistance
Has always been about dollars
and the color of your pigment
But
White supremacy is finally on blast
Screaming free Palestine
until they’re home at last
We see the lies in them
Claiming it’s anti-semetic
to be anti-zionist
I’ve seen jewish brothers and sisters out there and riding
In solidarity and screaming
free Palestine with em
Organizing, unlearning
and finally cutting ties with a
State
that’s gotta rely on an apartheid system
To uphold an occupying violent
History been repeating for the last 75
The Nakba never ended,
the colonizer lied
If some kids in tents,
posted on the lawn
occupying the quad
is really against the law
And a reason to call
in the police and their squad
where does genocide land
in your definition huh?
destroying every college in Gaza and every mosque
pushing everyone into rafah and dropping bombs
The blood is on your hands Biden,
we can see it all
And fuck no
I’m not voting for you in the fall
Undecided,
you can’t twist the truth
The people out here
united
never be defeated when Freedom’s on the
horizon
Yet the music industry’s quiet
complicit in their platform of silence
What happened to the artist
what do you got to say?
If I was on a label,
you could drop me today
And be fine with it
cause the heart fed my page
I want a ceasefire
fuck a response from drake
You know this planet with auroras and eclipses? It has orchids, grass snakes & mangoes too. Rainbow trout and diatoms and self-organizing college students and star fish. What are the odds of it all & how about a just and equitable economy and then living lives of awestruck peace?
>> will you please yet promptly name the exact culprits plus present all your proof and evidence on the matter?
@Trifolium Go out and do your own research #DYOR and don’t let your stupidity hit your rear end as you leave.
Students who protest dying #Palestinians do not “self-organize” by printing professionally designed fancy black tee shirts and wear them to “protest” an alleged #genocide.
Screenshot of post by verena elisabeth @verenalettmayer: @aral and i guess you think you are an anti-fascist. sorry,: excluding and bullying a person because of their affiliation to israel is not anti-fascist, but ... You know what. and for 1000 times: no governments participate in the #esc, but independent broadcasters (that's why russia was also suspended, because NOT independent).
