Sir Andy Haines arguing that militarism is a threat to Planetary Health at #PHAM2025. It causes emissions & pollution, diverts attention & investments from tackling the planetary crisis, and instead of providing security it endangers our global security and increases deaths.

German journalist Hüseyin Doğru has had no access to his bank accounts and has not been allowed to travel since the EU sanctioned him in May. The sanctions came following his reporting on the repression of pro-Palestinian activists. This week, a Frankfurt court upheld the blocking of his accounts. Doğru and his family now face homelessness. Journalists critical of Western foreign policy are increasingly subject to sanctions and legal harassment designed to make their lives impossible.

Eine der dunkelsten Stunden nicht nur des deutschen Rechtsstaats, sondern auch der einschlägigen Journalistenverbände, Gewerkschaften und NGOs. Schämt Euch!

The United States and Israel illegally, criminally, and deliberately attacked for the third time a nuclear facility in Iran, creating this way the risk of a nuclear catastrophe with mass civilian casualties This’s not just a violation of international law, it’s nuclear terrorism

This is a brilliant and important film by @AbbyMartin. Everyone should watch it. Especially if you are in the US. earthsgreatestenemy.com

!!! HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY CALL !!! As of yesterday, German authorities seized the bank accounts of my wife. She is not sanctioned and has committed no crime.

"Germany's legal obligation (international law is enshrined in its constitution) is to not aid and assist a state that is violating international law by comitting war crimes, crimes against humanity, and a genocide. for 900 days and counting."

Donate to our historic mission to deliver aid to Gaza. Starving Gaza is a deliberate tool of genocide made possible by nearly two decades of an illegal blockade. In 2021, 180 members of the UN General Assembly voted to officially declared food a human right. Only two members voted against it: israel and its partner in genocide, the US. We MUST break the siege.

#BDS works. Fewer researchers representing Israeli universities supporting and benefiting from #genocide, illegal occupation, and apartheid receive funding from the European Research Council. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

I literally can’t even comprehend to you all how depressing this is. Tens of thousands of species to just be all gone soon in Indonesia. When will the world wake up and help them value and protect their forests, they belong to all of us! 🦧🦋❌

This is how people living in the West Bank, Palestine, describe life under increasing settler violence ⬇️  "Most of them [settlers] are armed nowadays... they shoot to kill."  "It feels like there is no justice for us, like our lives don’t count."  Read more: msf.org/west-bank-pale…

After much reflection, and after it became clear to me that some UN seniors are serving a powerful lobby and not the UN, I have decided to suspend all my duties as PVA Main Representative at the UN and from all UN committees/groups of which I am a member. I cannot in good conscience be part of or witness to what is happening at a time when the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use. It has been an honor cooperating with the UN for nearly 12 years under different Secretaries-General and Human Rights Council Presidents, leading PVA delegation. May God bless this world.

Eines Tages werden alle schon immer dagegen gewesen sein... Besinnt sich die Bundesregierung jetzt doch auf das #Völkerrecht? Oder geht es nur darum im eigenen Verfahren vor dem #IGH wegen Beihilfe zum Genozid in #Gaza besser dazustehen? taz.de/Genozid-Verfah…

I'll never forget how the Israelis bombed al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza in October 2023 and the world was shocked and horrified. Israel denied it, saying they would never commit such a heinous crime. Then they went on to bomb every single hospital in Gaza. Now they are doing the same in Lebanon and Iran. The Israelis have bombed at least 128 medical facilities and ambulances across south Lebanon. In Iran, the US and Israel have bombed 25 hospitals and medical centres. In Lebanon, they are committing double tap strikes to kill medics and rescue workers, just as they did in Gaza. Medics are forced to delay their responses. These monsters are normalizing war crimes that were once unthinkable.
