Remember the story of the boy and the starfish? If the need reels overwhelming, that is not a reason to step back. It is a reason to step up knowing you can make a difference to one person while we work on the systemic injustice.

Please help if you can. I make a difference to this beautiful family.

Hope Stop mining Palestine for hope in the luxury of your despair You don't need hope when you are in the abyss in solidarity and love with those who need life. You don't need hope when confronting evil with truth and light demanding change. Find courage Be encouraged. You are hope. Be it.

I went back to glasses after my corneal scratch which was exacerbated / caused by my contacts. The pain 😰

An astonishing fifty-eight (58) expert diplomats, career EU Ambassadors, know enough to say it is the right thing to do. They put it at number 3 of their nine recommendations.

Awful, I’m so sorry 😔

Break the selective silence on the genocide in Gaza Substantial and well-documented evidence indicates a catastrophic public health emergency in Gaza (appendix pp 1–5), marked by severe food insecurity and alarming levels of malnutrition-related deaths...

Shameful beyond words.
"Life expectancy at birth reportedly declined by approximately 35 years in 2024.2 This represents a greater collapse in longevity than that recorded during the genocide in Rwanda."

Grr - *would not* make another choice. 3am sadness posts prone to typos

There is no unknowing the depth of evil and apathy that exists, that is beyond what was comprehensible. I would make another choice but fight with every ounce of power and privilege I have, but I wonder the same.

"Time has run out."

"The moral obligation is palpable. The legal obligation is also clear."

These are our two leading experts on famine and starvation in war (in my opinion).

Another strong, beautiful truth amid a genocide: “Palestine is already recognised.”

To recognise, by Khawla Badwan, reposted with alt text

Legal action over weapons transport within Irish airspace A legal challenge to the use of Irish airspace for flights transporting weapons to Israel has been lodged at the High Court.

All those (especially) outside Ireland take note. This Government talks out of two mouths - in thrall to the US and EU but under pressure from a public that stays true to our anti-imperialist, anti-colonial tradition.

💔💔💔

Despite being injured in his legs, a Palestinian man crawls a long distance without a wheelchair or any aid, searching for food amid the ongoing Israeli-imposed famine and siege in Gaza.

This video has tore my heart apart wth are we allowing to happen?😭

UN: One-third of Gaza hasn’t eaten for days.

This is not a failure of aid — it’s a failure of humanity.
You can’t bomb a people, starve them, and still call it self-defense.

Exactly, which is why air-drops are *not* the solution. The quantities are insufficient, AND they lack any distribution plan, exacerbate existing inequalities in access, don’t address the need for clean water or gas etc.

A distraction from the crime of starvation & the solution

Can I get my Irish friends to amplify this please?

"There is no excuse for what’s happening in Gaza. This tragedy must end now, immediately and decisively. Every political hesitation, every attempt at justification of the horrors being committed under international watch, will forever be judged as a collective failure to preserve humanity in war.”

Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral.

This tragedy must end now.

Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President: ms.spr.ly/63327sGyPt

Protesters in Tel Aviv took to the streets carrying flour bags and pictures of malnourished children from Gaza, calling for the end of the war on Gaza and the hunger.

From the responses, I think it’s clear that there are many of us hoping you will take additional holidays (maybe we would even pay you to go somewhere), the world desperately needs the outcome of your time off 😅

I had a corneal scratch. The pain was worse than labour with no pain relief (x2). I told the doc in the eye hospital that, probably with an extreme desperation to my voice. He snuck me some drops that they use in surgery. No idea what they were, but they did the trick. Hope you feel better soon!

Exciting to hear the #ICJ opinion on state obligations to address the #ClimateCrisis. We provided support to Palestine's delegation, and while the main ruling didn't address conflict emissions, Judge Cleveland's separate opinion did. www.icj-cij.org/sites/defaul... #PERAC #IntLaw

IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT. The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is calling on every single leader in the world: DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD and WATER INTO GAZA RIGHT AWAY. JUST DO IT. Just do it. Genocide must not be allowed to continue while we all watch.

IF YOU HAVE THE POWER,
YOU MUST USE IT.

There is power in seeing people, in recognising our common humanity. This thread gives context to the fundraisers from Gaza. Ultimately, even if you are not in a position to give, continue to witness, to build relationships and to recognise the personhood of Palestinians trying to survive a genocide

During these minutes, perhaps another heartbeat has stopped, and another soul has been extinguished in the Gaza Strip due to hunger and bombardment. Gaza is dying of starvation.

WFP: Israeli Tanks and Snipers Fired on Starving Palestinians Approaching Aid Convoy in Northern Gaza - Quds News Network The World Food Programme (WFP) has confirmed that Israeli forces opened fire on starved civilians gathered near a WFP humanitarian convoy in northern Gaza.

Here are Alaa's twins, before the genocide came.

Now Ella is having seizures, and Ellen can't stand from malnutrition.

If you, like me, are in the United States, WE are doing this. This is done with our weapons.

Please help save these precious little girls.

Even now.
There have been so many ‘even now’s’.
Every time we reach the ‘Even Now’ that must surely be the red line,
a new ‘even now’ is invented
by this evil coalition of genocide. And the world explains that this is not really an ‘Even Now’,
that red lines are just a mirage.
