Biden doesn't have confidence in the Gaza death toll: "I have no notion if Palestinians are telling the truth...I'm sure innocents have been killed & it is the price of waging war..Israel should be incredibly careful to ensure they're going after the folks propagating this war."
10. A quota of 150 foreign students may study at Palestinian colleges and universities but only in approved disciplines. YES, Israel's Apartheid regime wants to decide what the Palestinians are/aren't allowed to study! Domination?
As South Africans, we appreciate the importance and value of international solidarity. As an important voice of the Global South representing a large part of humanity, we believe that BRICS has a vital role in a widespread international effort to achieve a just and lasting peace.
Israel's demand for the UN to evacuate 1.1M (half of Gaza) to the South reaffirms Israel's intention to push Gaza to Sinia-Egypte to liquidate the Palestinian cause & fully realise the Zionist settler-colonial dream of eliminating the indigenous Palestinians &stealing their land.
5. Judge Richard R Baxter, a US jurist, wrote an article entitled “A Skeptical Look at the Concept of Terrorism”, & he regretted that the concept of terrorism was ever “Inflicted” on us, as it is “ imprecise, ambiguous & serves no operative legal purpose."
3. The new, more expansive entry rules represent a clear attempt to restrict, track and trace the travel of foreign nationals to the occupied Palestinian territories, control Palestinian population growth & keep data on the land claims of Palestinians holding foreign nationality.
Since this began, I’ve been saying goodnight to my family in

4. The new rules no longer treat the occupied West Bank as a separate geographic unit from Israel. Terminology such as entry to Israel for the purpose of “transit” to the West Bank is dispensed and instead, entry requirements refer to travel to “Judea & Samaria” or the “Area”.
“Zionist hatred of Palestinians is at the essence and core of Zionist ideology.”

Totally agree, because Zionism is truly a “form of racism and racial discrimination.”
This is what needs to be talked about to ensure justice and achieve peace, sooner than later.
A heavily-followed Israeli Telegram page posted a video of cats devouring the body of a dead man in Gaza. The responses were appalling, consisting either of mockery of the situation or pity for the cats, forced by starvation to feed on the corpse of a so-called "terrorist."
This statement of the
@UN

It is outrageous to call on Palestinian resistance (permitted by international law) to CEASE its attacks while asking the occupying power ONLY to respect IHL.🧵
