This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions. nytimes.com/2025/08/27/opi…

Spain’s MEP, Irene Montero: “In Europe, they arrest you and accuse you of terrorism for wearing a t-shirt against the genocide.” “Yet that same Europe keeps selling arms to Israel and refuses to enforce arrest warrants against genocidal Netanyahu.” “Europe is complicit.” 🇪🇸🇵🇸

"The US president's dream is to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, so it's said; the proper place for him is the International Criminal Court in The Hague. No other non-Israeli bears as much responsibility for the bloodbath in Gaza as Donald Trump." haaretz.com/opinion/2025-0…

Israel assassinated five journalists inside a hospital in Gaza today, live on TV. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity. Will Western mainstream media speak out, or remain silent and complicit?

The #Gaza famine, a man-made catastrophe, has unfolded in front of the world’s eyes. We saw it coming. We warned about it. We were not allowed to stop it. Now, as we count the lives lost to this intentional starvation, there is only one question to ask world leaders: Where is humanity? End the blockade of aid — TODAY. CEASEFIRE!

António Guterres@antonioguterres·
I'm gravely alarmed by the decision of the Israeli Government to "take control of Gaza City". This marks a dangerous escalation & risks deepening the already catastrophic consequences for millions of Palestinians. It could further endanger more lives, including of the remaining hostages. I reiterate my urgent appeal for a permanent ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access across Gaza & the immediate & unconditional release of all hostages. un.org/sg/en/content/…

The manmade famine in #Gaza has been largely shaped by the deliberate attempts to replace the UN coordinated humanitarian system through the politically motivated “GHF”. It is a so called “aid system” responsible for the killing of nearly 1,400 starving people. All has been further deepened by preventing @UNRWA , the backbone of humanitarian response, to bring in any assistance to Gaza for 5️⃣ months now (since 2 March). Sidelining & weakening UNRWA has nothing to do with claims of aid diversion to armed groups. It is a deliberate measure to collectively pressure & punish Palestinians for living in Gaza. No time to waste anymore, a political decision must be made to unconditionally open the crossings. UNRWA has the experience, staff & resources to contribute full scale and reverse the #famine

"It’s become a pattern to silence voices who speak out against atrocities in Gaza. The Israeli Government continues to ban international media from getting in: it’s been over 660 days. More than 220 Palestinian journalists have been killed. UN officials and humanitarian workers have been banned from going back to Gaza. I was banned as of March 2024 following the International Court of Justice @CIJ_ICJ ruling provisional measures to improve humanitarian access in #Gaza. It’s our duty to speak out on the atrocities and any breaches of International humanitarian law. That’s been a common practice for the UN. Gaza is no different. — UNRWA Commissioner-General @UNLazzarini

#Gaza: airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation. They are expensive, inefficient & can even kill starving civilians. It is a distraction & screensmoke. A manmade hunger can only be addressed by political will. Lift the siege, open the gates & guarantee safe movements + dignified access to people in need. Allow the U.N. including @UNRWA & our partners to operate at scale & without bureaucratic or political hurdles. At UNRWA, we have the equivalent of 6,000 trucks in Jordan & Egypt waiting for the green light to get into Gaza. Driving aid through is much easier, more effective, faster, cheaper & safer. It’s more dignified for the people of #Gaza. Finally, airdrops will not prevent aid diversion, principled humanitarian assistance will. It reaches those in need. The latest USAID report confirms that there is no “so called” systemic diversion of aid provided by the humanitarian community in Gaza.

We're enrolling 25 new malnutrition patients every day at our clinic in Gaza City. Meanwhile, people who seek out food in the Strip are attacked by Israeli forces. This is deliberate starvation, manufactured by the Israeli authorities. msf.org/msf-finds-1-4-…

People are once again forced to be displaced in #Gaza by Israeli Authorities orders. They have nowhere to go. 🚫 No one is safe in Gaza. 🚫 No place is safe in Gaza. 🚫 Not aid workers, not medical workers, not UN staff. 🚫 No one has been spared. People have endured over 650 days of relentless, endless killings, destruction, and despair. #CeasefireNow

This is the United Kingdom addressing Israel and the world. The statement may be late but it is unequivocal. As accused, Israel can no longer be considered an ally. Please listen to it all and share widely.
UK at the UN 🇬🇧🇺🇳@UKUN_NewYork

The IDF has killed starving Palestinian civilians trying to get aid. Settler terrorism and talk of imposing the illegal E1 settlement plan are flagrant attempts to prevent a Palestinian state. There is no justification for this. A two-state solution is the only path to peace.

People in #Gaza are dying from lack of humanitarian assistance - food, clean water, and other essential lifelines. A ceasefire is long overdue and humanitarians should be able to reach all those in need, wherever they are.
