UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese "noted that they [Israel] had seized "this historic moment, with Europe's weakness and the United States' aggressiveness" as an "opportunity" to advance the conquest of not just Palestine but the Middle East"
""...the attacks continue against Lebanon, against Syria. It would be crazy to think that Israel will stop here," she said"

Queste sono le tue opzioni come orfano palestinese a Gaza.

“Gaza non è solo un cimitero per i bambini palestinesi, è anche un inferno per i bambini vivi.
Il numero di bambini dispersi – quelli separati dai loro genitori o che sono scomparsi (senza contare i morti sotto le macerie) è di circa 17.000.”

#Palestine / Documenting Occupation: Basel Adra’s Powerful Testimony at the UN

[...] Basel Adra, co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, shares his lifelong commitment to documenting the brutal realities of life under occupation. Starting as a teenager, he captured firsthand the violence inflicted on his village Masafer Yatta by settlers and the Israeli military—from home demolitions by bulldozers to brutal assaults on community members. Despite international recognition for his work, Adra reveals that the cycle of violence, displacement, and injustice continues unabated, with daily attacks that leave Palestinian communities in constant fear.

[...] Speaking at the UN Palestinian Rights Committee on 3 April 2025, Adra recounted harrowing personal and communal experiences, including the attack on his cousin, which exemplifies the systemic oppression faced by Palestinians. He highlighted that these incidents are not isolated but part of a broader strategy to displace Palestinians and seize their land, underlining the complicity of state authorities in facilitating such actions. Adra’s testimony is both a call to action and a plea for global accountability in the fight for Palestinian rights and dignity.

Digging for power / Israeli archaeology conference canceled after government attempts to silence critic

Israel's major archaeology conference was canceled after Heritage Minister Eliyahu demanded the removal of Prof. Raphael Greenberg, who has spoken out against Israel's archaeological practices in occupied territories.

Prof. Greenberg, chair of NGO Emek Shaveh, argues that Israel weaponizes archaeology to dispossess Palestinians and violates international conventions on cultural heritage protection. He also believes that Israel Exploits excavations to justify settler expansion in the West Bank, while excluding Palestinian voices from archaeological discourse about their own heritage, and uses selective archaeology to create political narratives about land ownership.

The academic community united in support of Greenberg's right to speak, even among those who disagree with his views, forcing the conference's cancellation rather than comply with political censorship.

[…] the plans were suspended when Raphael Greenberg [pictured], Professor of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University and chairman of Emek Shaveh, the Israeli NGO which seeks to prevent the politicisation of archaeology in the context of the Israel-Palestine conflict, raised fundamental objections to the conference in an open letter to intending participants. Rather than allow Professor Greenberg to attend and air these objections, the Ministry hastily cancelled the conference.

🧵 1/2: I've been thinking a lot about this video from Sam Stein, an American #Israeli #HumanRights activist. Filmed 4 weeks ago after his detention by the #IDF for resisting #settler violence in the #WestBank (as he's been doing for the past 5 years), it triggers profound lessons, which I hope act as a lightning rod for Western #activists, who often understimate the system at their peril.

Sam starts: "all your legal training goes out of the window when a soldier has his knee on your neck...

Molto probabilmente è stata la fame la principale causa di morte dell'adolescente palestinese morto in una prigione israeliana, anche secondo un medico israeliano che ha esaminato i risultati dell'autopsia.

La famiglia non ha ancora ricevuto un certificato di morte da Israele, e non ha nemmeno ricevuto il corpo del ragazzo.
