Support Hamza’s Family: Hope Amid the Rubble
bit.ly/support-hamza

Gaza is once again in crisis—neighborhoods reduced to rubble, families without food or shelter. One family of forty (yes, forty!) has been left homeless, clinging to hope in the aftermath of relentless bombings.

Among them is Hamza, a 23-year-old English Literature student and journalist whose university was destroyed. He survived a building collapse that took his best friend’s life and is still recovering from his injuries—without proper medical care. Now, he’s looking after everyone, from grandparents to newborns, all under one shattered roof.

They need our help to rebuild and survive. Donations so far have helped keep them going through the toughest of times. Your support now can help provide food, shelter, and essential care as they face the ongoing siege.

Got to bit.ly/support-hamza learn more and contribute. Even the smallest gesture makes a huge difference. Let’s prove that in a world full of challenges, we can still be each other’s hope.

Thank you for standing with Hamza’s family. Together, let’s keep hope alive in Gaza.

March 8, International womxn’s day. Time to take out the pirate in you and find your allies!

I am in debt to the ones before, in awe for the ones today and curious on the ones to come. Let’s be conscious and embrace awareness, not just today but everyday. In times of conflict, climate crisis and shrinking democratic space global gender equality diminishes even more. Speak up, reach out, change.

#Palestine / Over 160 Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza as Israel systematically targeted witnesses to the genocide

The ongoing assault on #Gaza has resulted in the deaths of at least 166 Palestinian journalists, making it the deadliest period for the press and raising serious concerns about the deliberate targeting of those documenting the unfolding genocide. Press freedom organizations are urgently calling for international access to Gaza and accountability for #Israel's actions, highlighting cases like the bombing of a clearly marked press vehicle killing Ayman al-Gedi and four colleagues, the airstrike that killed Eman al-Shanti and her family, and the tank fire that injured Salma Kaddoumi, showing a pattern of eliminating eyewitnesses and suppressing crucial information from reaching the world.

The Guardian · ‘In Gaza, a press vest makes you a target’: the journalists who have paid a price for reporting on the warBy Thaslima Begum

#EUOfficials Will Claim Ignorance of #Israel’s #WarCrimes. This Leaked Document Shows What They Knew.

The internal EU document may strip European foreign ministers of “plausible deniability” in #IsraeliWarCrimes in #Gaza, experts said.

Arthur Neslen, December 23 2024

[...] "Skoog’s analysis laid out evidence from United Nations sources of war crimes by Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah since October 7, 2023, when around 1,200 people were killed during a Hamas-led attack that prompted Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip. The U.N. estimates some 45,000 people have died in Gaza since, with more than half estimated to be women and children.

"Though the assessment did not spare Hamas and Hezbollah, much of its strongest language was reserved for the Israel Defense Forces [#IDF].

"'War has rules,' the paper says. 'Given the high level of civilian casualties and human suffering, allegations focus mainly on how duty bearers, including the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), have seemingly failed to distinguish between civilians and combatants and to take all feasible precautions to protect civilians and civilian objects against the effects of the attacks, in violation of the fundamental principles of #IHL' — international humanitarian law.

"Skoog cites an increased use of 'dehumanizing language' by Israeli political and military leaders, which may 'contribute to evidence of intent' to commit genocide.

"'Incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence — such as that made in statements by Israeli officials — constitutes a serious violation of international human rights Law and may amount to the international crime of incitement to genocide,' the paper says.

"The implications for senior officials from arms-exporting countries to Israel — such as #Germany, #Italy and #France — were not lost on Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek finance minister and secretary-general of the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025.

"If the International Criminal Court finds Israeli officials guilty of war crimes, #Varoufakis told the Intercept, the very distribution of the report to EU ministers carries significance because the Europeans will not be able plead ignorance.

"'They cannot plausibly deny that they were privy to the facts given the contents of the EU’s special representative’s report that they had a duty to take under consideration,' Varoufakis said. “The world now knows that they knew they were in breach of international law because they were explicitly told so by the EU’s own special representative on human rights. History will judge them harshly. And perhaps so will the ICC.'"
