Believe it, Nadeem.
You just became Pakistan's first ever athletics Olympic champion. 🇵🇰🥹
I don’t tweet/post often but this guy deserves it. What a legend!! A World record and the country’s first individual Gold Medal in the Olympics. Against all odds and with no support. So proud and happy today for #ArshadNadeem
For me #ArshadNadeem is such a legend that you can’t put his achievement in words.
Coming from a country with limited means, his entire village donating money for his preparation. His achievement will go down in history not just of Pakistan 🇵🇰 but the world. 🗺️

Israel: "only democracy in Middle East"
ICJ:
-you use force unlawfully to steal territory;
-you deprive millions of the right to self-determination;
-you fragment their territory and undermine their integrity as a people;
-you steal their natural resources;
-you make them economically dependent and frustrate their development;
-you practice systemic discrimination: racial discrimination and apartheid;
-you restrict their movement and residency;
-you demolish their homes;
-your policies seek to induce them to leave their homeland...

I think my heart skipped a beat seeing this image. How are we supposed to go on living our lives as if this is not happening?
This depravity truly knows no end….
Relatives have found the body of a six-year-old Palestinian girl who had begged Gaza rescuers to send help after being trapped by Israeli military fire, along with the bodies of five of her family members and two ambulance workers who had gone to save her rte.ie/news/2024/0210/143157…

The Tragedy of the Palestinians -
so many bright & opinionated people remain completely ignorant of their history of dispossession and subjugation, and go out of their way not to even try to understand it. There are no well known movies about the Nakba in English, no TV series telling of the Palestinian plight & while, rightfully, all UK schoolchildren by law learn about the Holocaust, few, if any, study the Nakba. The Palestinian cause drowns in that well of ignorance and indifference.
It's one of the great injustices of our world and never has that been more obvious than in the last three months, in the way the West has lined up to enable and assist in the mass murder of the people of Gaza and the levelling of their refugee camps.

"On average 247 Palestinians are being killed & are at risk of being killed each day. Many of them literally blown to pieces. They include 48 mothers each day, 2 every hour. And over 117 children." From the v powerful South Africa ICJ closing statement:

That so many Palestinians retain any hope, any faith in humanity after decades of being occupied, colonized, humiliated, bombed, and collectively tortured, with the support of the most powerful country on earth, which has armed and supports their tormentors, is a literal miracle.

Indiscriminate rocket fire by Hamas into Israel & use of civilians as human shields is against laws of war, but doesn't absolve Israel of its own violations.
Int'l humanitarian law can't be applied selectively.
It's binding equally at all times & doesn't depend on reciprocity.

And it comes down to this: if the violence stopped today, there are one million kids in Gaza who, for the rest of their lives, are deeply psychologically affected and may never function again enough to rebuild a society. They bear the scars - we bear responsibility. 🇵🇸☮️✌️

Good @nytimes report on how genocidal language has been normalised in Israel
"Calls for Gaza to be “flattened,” “erased” or “destroyed” had been mentioned about 18,000 times since Oct. 7 in Hebrew posts on X...
The cumulative effect, experts say, has been to normalize public talk of “erasing” the people of Gaza, ethnic cleansing, and the nuclear annihilation of the territory..."

No. Sorry. They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the hostages whose lives you may also be destroying. They aren’t “collateral damage” either.

According to the latest figures from the @UN, more than 74% of the 11,078 Palestinians killed in Gaza are children, women, and the elderly:

Gaza isn't one of those issues where you have to respect the other side's opinions. Supporting a genocidal massacre is not an acceptable opinion for anyone to have. This is worth hurting people's feelings over. Worth losing friends over. Worth disrupting Thanksgiving dinner over.

It's shocking how little coverage this is getting:
After the Oct. 7 attack, Hamas offered to free children, women & elderly hostages in exchange for 5 day ceasefire
Israel said no and invaded Gaza instead
Those hostages are now trapped under the bombs
