This is Lebanon today. One in five people have been forced to flee their homes. High Commissioner @BarhamSalih is visiting the country in solidarity, calling for urgent support.

A finale that wasn’t part of the story, but somehow became the whole point. Judy Garland’s “Get Happy” from MGM's Summer Stock (1950) is pure style, resilience, and star power. Filmed months after principal photography wrapped, the song adds a deeper, almost bittersweet layer to the joyful, perfectly choreographed performance; knowing Judy's real-life strugges during production. Usually ranked as one of the greatest musical film moments of all time, because it's simply unforgettable. #JudyGarland #HollywoodMusical

Despite the pressure,When the World Sleeps is about to come out in English too (US:@otherpress; UK/Australia:@HardieGrant). While it’s about Palestine, past and present, and the law in its most accessible form, it cuts through the noise and shows why truth itself is such a threat

İspanya Başbakanı Pedro Sanchez, Filistin’e destek eylemleri yüzünden öğrenciler ve hocalar hakkında soruşturmalar açılan Columbia Üniversitesi'nde konuştu: 🔺“2022’de Rusya Ukrayna’ya işgal etti. ABD ve AB işgalciyi hemen kınadı ve yaptırımlar uyguladı. Kurbana destek verdi.” 🔺“Hala merak ediyorum; 60 bin Filistinlinin öldürüldüğü Gazze’yi kınamaktan bizi alıkoyan çifte standart nedir?” 🔺“Ülkeni savunmak bir şey. Ama 60.000 sivili öldürmek, hastaneleri bombalamak ve çocukları açlıktan öldürmek bambaşka bir şey." 🔺“21. yüzyılın en karanlık trajedilerinden birine gözlerimizin önünde tanık oluyoruz.”

Gravely concerned by reports #Israel cabinet in April approved 34 new settlements in occupied West Bank – the highest number ever approved at one time. This continues the sharp upward trend of unlawful settlement building that extends & consolidates Israel's annexation of occupied Palestinian territory. Israel must immediately cease the establishment & expansion of settlements, & reverse its settlement policies by evacuating all settlers & ending the occupation of Palestinian territory.

At least 252 women have been killed and 1,120 injured in #Lebanon since 2 March. This includes at least 99 killed and 378 injured on 8 April — the deadliest day of the escalation, following intensified Israeli airstrikes. 🔗 Our latest statement: unwo.men/qHAX50YIolc

UN experts call for end to attacks on Gaza shelters – cycle of displacement & terror makes life unbearable for Palestinians & permanently forces them from their land. “Targeting areas known to shelter displaced civilians is grave breach of intl. law” ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

"It's like living the same trauma all over again." Lebanese-French artist Ali Cherri has filed a landmark legal complaint in a Paris court after an Israeli bombing killed both his parents in their family home. He tells ＠SkyYaldaHakim he wants to "understand what happened" and "bring those responsible to justice". 🌍 trib.al/zff6Z7W

BREAKING! Amid widespread bombing across Arab regions, Israel approves its largest-ever colonial expansion. Under the "fog of war'', what I warned on 14 Oct 2023 is unfolding: the largest ethnic cleansing/land grab in Palestine, since the Nakba. It’s happening. Under our watch.

🚨 Just hours after the world cautiously welcomed news of a US-Israeli ceasefire with #Iran, in #Lebanon the nightmare for civilians has become more terrifying. Today has been the deadliest day since the latest round of fighting began on 2 March with an intense barrage of air strikes carried out across south Lebanon, the Beqaa valley and in crowded civilian areas in central #Beirut – many without warning. Hospitals have put out calls for blood donations, overwhelmed by the number of injured arriving. We reiterate the urgent need #Israel to uphold its obligations under international humanitarian law and ensure civilians are protected. Israel has an appalling track record of carrying out unlawful attacks in Lebanon and displaying a callous disregard for civilian life, fueled by the impunity Israeli officials feel they enjoy. 🔗 Read more: amn.st/6012B6xnYr

“Lebanon’s Christians are being told by the Israeli military to get rid of any displaced Shias hiding in their homes or villages. Haven’t we seen this story before, and don’t we all know how it ends?”

Absolute bombshell. Under international law and the historic Status Quo agreement, Israel has absolutely ZERO right to close the Holy Sepulchre or dictate who can enter. They are illegally occupying East Jerusalem and violating centuries of religious freedom.

More than 350 Palestinian children remain imprisoned by Israel on Children’s Day. Palestinian rights groups say children face systematic violations, including violent arrests, isolation and detention without charge. #Infograph

Lebanon - Around 2pm Sunday, Israeli forces struck a densely populated residential area in Beirut, only meters from Rafik Hariri Public Hospital, where MSF is supporting with an ER doctor. A mass-casualty influx followed: people bleeding, some carried on shoulders. In the first hour, 4 were killed and nearly 40 injured; more casualties are feared as rubble is cleared. “We are seeing elderly people and adolescents arriving with critical injuries to the head, chest and abdomen, including shrapnel wounds,” says Dr. Luna Hammad, MSF Medical Coordinator, from the ER at Rafik Hariri Public Hospital. “When strikes hit crowded residential areas without warning, the consequences are severe: both in human casualties and in hospitals’ capacity to respond.” MSF condemns this attack on civilians in a highly populated area and calls for the protection of civilians and health facilities. Strikes this close to a hospital spread fear and can stop people from seeking lifesaving care. MSF is donating a mass-casualty kit and will continue supporting hospitals with medical expertise and essential medical and non-medical supplies. Civilians cannot be collateral damage.

💔🎤 We speak about the prisoners for two days, then we forget them this is how we always are. Nothing wakes us but pain, and then we go back to how we were. Never forget: the prisoners are still in chains, and their families are still crying blood for them, while we remain unmoved. God is our only help.
