1/7 With Trump’s “peace plan” on the table, some EU states will seize it as an excuse to drop pressure on Israel: Germany, Italy & others will claim “diplomacy is working”, so no need to sanction ministers or suspend the EU-Israel trade deal.

That’s nonsense. Here’s why ⤵️🧵

“At this point, everyone knows (... ) The answer, to save lives, save humanity and save yourselves from complicity in engineered mass starvation, is to open all the borders, at all hours, to the thousands of trucks, millions of meals and medical supplies, ready and waiting nearby,”

“The militarised food distribution scheme has weaponised starvation and curated suffering. Distributions at GHF sites have resulted in extreme levels of violence and killings, primarily of young Palestinian men, but also of women &children, who have gone to the sites in the hope of receiving food”

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza Israel controls the flow of food into Gaza. It has calculated how many calories Palestinians need to stay alive. Its data shows only a fraction has been allowed in

The mathematics of starvation: how #Israel caused a famine in #Gaza.

By Israel’s own figures, the amount of aid reaching Gaza falls well below subsistence levels.

Airdrops are expensive,inefficient & deadly. Starvation is caused by state policy, not logistics.

Aid alone cannot stop this catastrophe.

We cannot continue to watch children killed and say ‘we are making progress’.

We cannot watch food rot in aid trucks while people starve and say ‘this is working.’

Kudos to #Denmark 🇩🇰 for standing firm on international law. When Danish firm GreenGo sought support for a project in occupied #WesternSahara, the govt rightly said no. #BusinessEthics #ClimateJustice #JustTransition

➡️Close to 400 Palestinians have been killed in less than a month while attempting to access food aid.
➡️Gazans are having to make the choice between facing starvation & risking death while waiting for food.
⚠️We need an immediate end to the blockade & for humanitarians to be allowed to do their jobs.

"Governments have collaborated in decades of deregulation, neoliberalism, and neglect, leading to the collapse of workers’ rights. This has disenfranchised millions and paved the way for extremism, authoritarianism and the billionaire coup against democracy that now threatens democracy itself."

Today, @ec.europa.eu will announce new return proposals – paving the way for ‘return hubs’ or deportation centres outside the EU & widescale detention in Europe.

Philippines: Former President Duterte’s arrest a monumental step for justice Responding to news that former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested by Philippine authorities on the basis of an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against him for the crime against humanity of murder in relation to killings in the “war on drugs”, Agnes Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International, said: […]

Former President Duterte’s arrest is a long-awaited step for justice for the thousands of victims and survivors of his administration’s ‘war on drugs’. His arrest on an ICC warrant is a hopeful sign for victims in the Philippines and beyond.

Former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte arrested in Manila after ICC warrant Duterte is wanted by the international criminal court over his so-called ‘war on drugs’, which rights groups say left 30,000 people dead

The arrest of #Duterte in the #Philippines on an ICC warrant is a timely monument to human rights principles and the power of international law & mechanisms.

He's accused of crimes against humanity over his so-called ‘war on drugs’, which killed 30,000 people.
