A mes amis et followers Français : il vient de se passer hier un événement absolument magnifique, à valeur historique, mais les agences de presse occidentales se gardent de raconter. Parce qu'il est question d'un idéal national suprême, de réunification, de communion. #Chișinău

“Despite the pain of the war, we haven’t forgotten our right to education,” says 14-year-old Leena, an UNRWA student in #Gaza. UNRWA keeps providing teaching across Gaza, where almost all school buildings are no longer functioning. Between 6 and 12 April, over 65,000 children accessed lessons through our Temporary Learning Spaces and 280,000 through our distance learning initiative. We are constantly seeking to expand in-person learning to help get children in Gaza back on the path to a better life. #UNRWAworks

They’re putting numbers on the arms of Palestinians. Remind you of anything?

⚠️ Ce soir à 21:05 sur France 5, la Palestine🇵🇸 comme vous ne l'avez jamais vue, racontée du 19e s. à nos jours en 3 x 60 min. Archives inédites, rigueur scientifique, images à couper le souffle… Un documentaire évènement, à ne surtout pas manquer 📺. Faites tourner l'info 🌍!

This image was posted by an Israeli soldier in southern Lebanon. Israeli soldiers have been posting imagines of their war crimes and cultural desecration for two and a half years straight without interruption.

UNICEF is outraged by the killing of two drivers of trucks contracted by UNICEF to provide clean water to families in the Gaza Strip. The victims were killed by Israeli fire in an incident that took place early this morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza. UNICEF extends our condolences to the families of the men killed. Full statement: unicef.link/4cVCyP9

Cet homme peut suspendre l’accord entre l’Union européenne et Israël. Il s’agit de @jnbarrot , notre ministre des affaires étrangères. Ce mardi 21 avril, il représentera la France à la réunion des ministres des affaires étrangères de l’UE. Lors de cette réunion, la suspension de l’accord d’association entre l’UE et Israël peut être proposée. Alors qu’Israël colonise et commet de nombreux crimes de guerre en Palestine et au Liban. L’Union européenne est le principal partenaire commercial d’Israël, et plusieurs États membres continuent d’exporter des armes. 👉 Cette situation doit cesser. Nous ne pouvons pas continuer à être complices. Monsieur Jean-Noël Barrot, suspendez l’accord entre l’UE et Israël. #StopComplicity

Spain condemns the death penalty for Palestinians passed by the Israeli parliament. This is an asymmetrical measure, as it would not apply to Israelis who committed the same crimes. This is not justice. It is a further step towards apartheid. The world cannot remain silent.

On Palm Sunday, as we commemorate the entry of Jesus in Jerusalem, we remember that the Christians of Palestine, the most ancient Christian community in the world, continue to be persecuted, harassed, killed, bombed, imprisoned and denied prayers at their holy sites by Israel for over 77 years:

Pendant ce temps des soldats de Tsahal sont autorisés à donner des conférences à Montréal.

Parmi les documents que les autorités canadiennes m’ont demandé de réunir en quelques heures avant mon vol pour réexaminer mon autorisation de voyage pour tenir 2 conférences (demande disproportionnée et sans aucun lien avec les motifs allégués du réexamen) : Liste non exhaustive - tous mes relevés bancaires sur les deux dernières années - le détail et les justificatifs de mes activités professionnelles sur les 10 dernières années - le détail et les justifications de ma domiciliation sur les 10 dernières années - le détail et les justificatifs des procédures judiciaires engagées contre moi - copie de mon casier judiciaire (qui est vide) - un formulaire de renseignements sur la famille

J’apporte mon plein soutien au patriarche latin de Jérusalem et aux chrétiens de Terre Sainte, empêchés de célébrer la messe des Rameaux au Saint-Sépulcre. Je condamne cette décision de la police israélienne, qui s’ajoute à la multiplication préoccupante des violations du statut des Lieux Saints de Jérusalem. Le libre exercice du culte à Jérusalem doit être garanti pour toutes les religions.

"Jesus is silent, not because he has nothing to speak, but because he will not follow the logic of verbal violence. His silence is a refusal to participate in the game of power that crushes. It is a silence that refrains from fueling the cycle of evil, nor does it seek to hurt anyone" - Quote from the Palm Sunday Meditation of H.B. Card. Pizzaballa

The Foreign Ministers of 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹🇬🇧 express deep concern about a bill that would expand the possibilities to impose death penalty in #Israel. We oppose death penalty around the world & urge the Israeli decision makers to abandon these plans. Full statement: diplo.de/2761862

“This kind of on-off humanitarian aid situation [in #Gaza] is not acceptable under international humanitarian law. And it’s also unacceptable in terms of humanity, because people need to be able to recover”, our @‌UN_JWFOWLER tells @‌cnnturk. Humanitarian aid should never be politicised. Restrictions on aid must be lifted to reach people in dire need.

Netanyahu ha impedido a los católicos celebrar el Domingo de Ramos en los Lugares Santos de Jerusalén. Sin explicación alguna. Sin razones ni motivos. Desde el Gobierno de España condenamos este ataque injustificado a la libertad religiosa y exigimos a Israel que respete la diversidad de credos y el derecho internacional. Porque sin tolerancia es imposible convivir.

While many countries are abolishing or reducing the use of the death penalty, Israel is doing the opposite, writing it into law. Israel’s Death Penalty Law institutionalizes and legalizes the state’s mechanism for executing Palestinians. Since October 2023, Israel has killed at least 72,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and at least 1,050 Palestinians in the West Bank. During this time, more than 80 Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli prisons, which have turned into a network of torture camps where prisoners are subjected to continuous abuse and violence. The death penalty law adds another official killing mechanism to existing practices. The mass incarceration of Palestinians is a feature of Israel’s apartheid regime. As of March 2026, about 9,500 Palestinians are held in inhumane conditions in Israeli prisons, roughly half of them under administrative detention or as “unlawful combatants,” without trial and with no ability to defend themselves. Death penalty for Palestinians only: The law is worded to apply to Palestinians only, and it is set to make the killing of Palestinians a normalized, common punitive tool through several mechanisms: The law gives military courts no discretion. Military judges will be required to sentence Palestinians convicted of murder to death, except in “special circumstances.” There is no requirement for a unanimous decision. A simple majority will suffice, and avenues for appeal will be extremely limited. Only Palestinians are tried in military courts. Their conviction rate is 96%, based largely on “confessions” extracted under duress and torture during interrogations. The penalty, execution by hanging, must be carried out within 90 days of sentencing, with no possibility of pardon. A designated prison officer will execute the sentence. The law, which enjoys broad public support in Israel, is expected to pass in the Knesset tomorrow, Monday, 30 March. The Israel Prison Service has already begun preparing designated execution facilities. The death penalty is a total violation of the most basic human rights, primarily, the right to life. Israel enforces a comprehensive policy of killing and oppression against the Palestinian people in all the territories it controls. The Death Penalty Law gives Israel’s apartheid regime yet another tool for advancing that policy.

La nouvelle Flottille pour Gaza part ce samedi 4 avril de Marseille !

‼️Lebanon’s Health Ministry says the death toll from Israeli attacks has risen to 1,238 since March 2, including 124 children.

The decision by Israeli police to bar Jerusalem’s Latin Patriarch from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday constitutes a violation of religious freedom and long-standing protections governing holy sites. Freedom of worship in Jerusalem must be fully guaranteed, without exception, for all faiths. Jerusalem’s multi-religious character must be protected.

CNN interviewed Qusai Abu al-Kebash, a 29-year-old Palestinian shepherd, who was sexually assaulted by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank village of Khirbet Humsa. He told @JDiamond1 that settlers zip-tied his genitals, paraded him through the village while beating him, threatened to rape women, assaulted children, and stole hundreds of his sheep.
