The report is dispassionate but the detailed evidence of cynical and inhumane mistreatment of vulnerable refugee populations is shocking . The Israeli army has weaponised humanitarian measures such as ‘evacuation orders’, ‘safe routes’ ‘and safe zones’ to support their military operations and facilitate the mass displacement of Palestinians. […]Where Israel’s evacuation orders might individually be framed as humanitarian in nature, in fact when closely analysed and considered over time, they reveal patterns of systematic mass displacement, with Palestinians deliberately and repeatedly being expelled from one unsafe and under- resourced location to another.https://gaza.forensic-architecture.org/displacement Geno-Ecocide at its cruelest – Zionist crimes in Gaza The Palestinian Environmental NGOs Network- Friends of Earth Palestine is a coordinating body among different Palestinian NGOs working in the field of environment.

An expert in ‘Civilian Harm Mitigation’ who worked as a senior adviser in the US State Department forensically dissects the Israeli government claim that its efforts to minimize civilian casualties are deliberate and “unprecedented”’. https://www.justsecurity.org/93105/israeli-civilian-harm-mitigation-in-gaza-gold-standard-or-fools-gold/ Gaza Faces, not just numbers!

Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), which should continue playing a “critical” role in Gaza. https://www.yahoo.com/news/no-evidence-israel-back-unrwa-172039861.html ‘This man-made starvation under our watch is a stain on our collective humanity’ Philippe Lazzarini Commissioner-General of UNRWA on 18 March https://twitter.com/UNLazzarini/status/1769711761136009310 BOYCOTT, DIVESTMENT AND SANCTIONS (BDS) One of the founding Aims of the UK-Palestine Mental Health Network is: ‘To encourage our colleagues individually and collectively to consider their response to the Palestinian call for boycott, sanctions and divestment (BDS)’ During March there will be a number of actions under the umbrella of Israeli Apartheid Week organised by the BDS Movement.

Successive government minsters and pro-Israel voices have attempted to demonise those protesting as hatemongers, Islamist mobs and antisemites. The reality is that, as the police themselves have publicly affirmed, the marches have been overwhelmingly peaceful and attended by a broad cross section of British society, young and old, of all faiths and none. https://palestinecampaign.org/coalition-statement-on-michael-goves-statement-in-parliament FIONA BRUCE: “Is there anyone here who welcomes what Michael Gove had to say?” *pindrop silence* https://twitter.com/implausibleblog/status/1768399715937178009 |
