Settlements built on stolen Palestinian land are in breach of international law. Trade with settlements is also in breach of international law. Labelling products is not a solution; trade with settlements should be banned and criminalized.

157 UN members states approved UNRWA’s mandate to support Palestinian refugees. This can not be undermined or dismantled.
Our people in Gaza and West Bank including E Jerusalem will remain steadfast in our homeland. We will continue to defend our right of a just solution and a free State of Palestine.
I wish the US government were as quick to suspend military aid to Israel upon a ICJ finding of plausible genocide (not to mention abundant evidence of war crimes) as it is to suspend aid to UNRWA over 12 employees' alleged complicity in the Hamas attack.
I have worked on the issue of Palestinian prisoners for a decade. Palestinians have always been confronted to mass arbitrary arrest, ill-treatment, torture but never at this scale. Many died while in detention in the last 6 months, some known, some unknown at this stage. And now

I used to play around and inside the mosque when I used to visit my grandparents. Even the good memories, this brutal colonial occupation, insists on destroying it.
This is the al-Umari Mosque, the oldest mosque in the Gaza Strip. It’s around 1400 years older than Israel.
Israel bombed it.
Since the beginning of its genocide of the Gaza Strip, Israel has knocked down mosques, churches, schools, universities, restaurants & hotels.
