‘I wish for death’ - Twelve-year-old Alma says. She fled bombing and shelling twice before the third place they sheltered was bombed, She was rescued from the rubble only to find out both her parents and all four of her siblings had been killed. She found her 18-month-old brother in an unimaginable state. Her little brother was beheaded from the rubble after the IOF massacred them.

I have never seen this post before but tumblr already said I liked it. And I do like it
Here are some black cats I've drawn through the years
Above is the link to an audio file with Palestinian music, read-aloud poetry, storytelling, and excerpts from speeches on history and liberation. It was gathered by Radio Al Hara, an internet radio station broadcast from Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Amman in Jordan, founded during the pandemic as a way to connect during isolation. “Al Hara” means “the neighbourhood” in Arabic. From the river to the sea! 🇵🇸

One of the things that pisses me off most about this genocide and overall occupation is how many people say it's so complicated and there's so much nuance and there isn't one easy solution. This is one of the simplest things I have ever seen. Zionists invaded palestine in 1947-48. They have occupied it for 76 years while taking more and more land. They kidnap and torture and massacre Palestinians day in day out for those 76 years. They control every aspect of Palestinian life, including their water and medical care. And now they are committing another genocide against them. Where is the complication? What is hard to understand? "Well, Jewish people need a place where they won't be discriminated against" I absolutely agree. So make every country in the world safe for Jewish people. Fight against anti Semitism across the world. Don't commit a genocide and set up an ethnostate.
Hearing has started, China is up first but I missed the beginning of it
China supports Palestine and is outlining the laws regarding the situation, similar to what everyone else has done
Iran's turn
Iran supports Palestine and is reading reports from Gaza to the court to outline how dire the situation in Gaza is
If I haven't mentioned this before: there is a lot of repetition in the statements because they have to present arguments about the legal consequences of the occupation, and they're all outlining the same laws that have been broken for that reason
Also China called for a two-state solution, as many other nations have, and also argued that Palestinians have an inalienable right to use force to fight for their freedom
Iran is (rightfly) blaming the Security Council for its inaction, and specifically mentioning one "permanent member" as prolonging the atrocities
Iraq now
Iraq stands with Palestine and is stating that Israel must be held accountable for its violations of human rights and the Geneva conventions
10 minute break before the next presentation, which I believe will be the Irish delegation
Ireland just listed everything Israel stated about the October 7th attack as fact: rape, murdered babies, all that, and have condemned the attack, but have stated that Israel's response is not proportionate
They've urged the court to issue a ruling, rather than decline, which the court has the power to do
now they are basically picking apart every justification Israel and allies have used to dismiss this hearing
Outlining breaches of the Geneva and Hague conventions now. Ireland started with acknowledging every defense Israel could pull, now they're not holding back
Ended with endorsing the two state solution. Now it is Japans turn. no idea what their stance is
I'm having a very hard time understanding Japan's first speaker. He speaks very fast and quietly with a strong accent
Second speaker is going over the definition of annexing territory by force. Japan is against Israel's actions by the looks of it. First speaker did mention that Japan endorses a two state solution
"Annexation can never be a proportionate response to armed attack" I'm shocked but relieved that Japan is going against US interests here
Jordan is up now and talking about Israel preventing aid from entering Gaza
I think I just heard that correctly "over 3000 pages of evidence of Israeli violations"
Jordan is currently talking about their role in protecting and preserving holy sites in Jerusalem, and Israel's treatment of Muslims and Christians in Jerusalem
They have examples of violations going all the way back to 1967
Morning hearing is finished
israel is bombing rafah. as you read this, israel is bombing the one place they told palestinians was safe. they kept pushing the palestinians south and now they are bombing the only "safe" place left. israel is bombing rafah.
My entire twitter feed is people in Rafah saying they’re terrified, saying their good byes, and asking us to remember them in our prayers. Rafah is facing a massacre. It’s a genocide. We will not know the number of deaths until the morning.
