@AssalRad The West Bank is not a suburb of Tel Aviv. Its occupation is unlawful: Israeli soldiers must leave (ICJ 2024).
By omitting context/legal frameworks media like @nytimes have contributed to the “humanitarian camouflage” that frames Israel's crimes as proportionate hence acceptable
RT: @DAWNmenaorg “Three years into a televised genocide, growing more profitable by the day … we are deep into a major unrestrained predatory elitism,” with “state power influenced by corporate interests, weaponized against civilians,” said UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs, in a video message for DAWN’s 2026 Annual Gala & Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C.
“And it didn’t start in Gaza. This is where it became global and televised.” With U.S. support, since 2001, “torture, indefinite detention, and now genocide” have been normalized, said Albanese, who has been targeted by the Trump administration with sanctions for her work upholding international law and Palestinian rights.
To counter these injustices, Francesca Albanese said, “we must think and act together. Transnationally. And on principle. Bodies on the line if that’s what it takes.”
“The rule of law hasn’t gotten us to heaven, for sure. But it has kept us out of hell. And hell is on the horizon now. So let’s hold the line together,” Albanese urged.
Earlier this month, in response to a DAWN and Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide (TAAG) lawsuit against the Trump administration’s sanctions targeting Albanese, the International Criminal Court, and Palestinian human rights organizations, a federal court issued a preliminary injunction barring the administration from imposing penalties on DAWN and TAAG for submitting evidence to the ICC or engaging with Albanese and the Palestinian organizations.
RT: @DAWNmenaorg "The bombs falling in Gaza are being guided by code written in California. This isn’t a war; it’s a joint venture of genocide.”
At DAWN’s 2026 Annual Gala & Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C., we honored Ahmed Shihab-Eldin (@aseisfree), an Emmy-nominated journalist, presenting him with the 2026 Jamal Khashoggi Defender of Justice Award, for his courageous journalism, outspoken defense of Palestinian rights, and commitment to speaking truth despite the personal consequences.
Throughout his career, Ahmed has challenged mainstream media's failures, exposing how political and corporate interests can shape coverage and silence uncomfortable truths. For him, journalism is not simply about reporting facts, but about using stories to illuminate the human condition and, in his words, “to move society forward.”
His reporting and advocacy have been uncompromising, including on Palestine. “Language matters,” he reminds us, challenging the unequal ways Palestinian and Israeli lives are portrayed in the media. He insists that genuine peace requires equality, accountability, Palestinian self-determination, and an end to occupation.
In March 2026, Ahmed was arrested in Kuwait, where he was visiting family, after sharing a news clip about events there. His 52-day detention and Kuwait’s revocation of his citizenship underscore the personal cost journalists can face for exercising their right to speak freely.
Yet his message remains one of courage, solidarity, and hope: “Do not underestimate the power of connecting with other human beings and drawing strength from there,” he says. “Because that is how change happens historically: political change, social change for any community.”
Watch this video tribute honoring Ahmed’s courage, principled journalism, and unwavering commitment to justice.
We’ll continue sharing highlights from DAWN’s gala soon. Stay tuned.
RT: @Aboujahjah . @Meta has permanently removed my Facebook and Instagram accounts. This happened after mass-reporting campaigns by Israeli bots.
All this while Israeli soldiers keep posting their war crimes on these platforms.
Less distraction and more time to hunt them criminals I guess.
RT: @StoneDunk Neither Cartier-Bresson, Banksy nor Cold War Steve could have come up with such an image. Absolutely perfect composition and lighting (even the road signs are perfect)! 😍
I am shocked by the political inertia in the face of what Israelis -settlers and soldiers- are doing in Palestine, where terror has become a daily reality. In the West Bank, torching century old trees and poisoning livestock. When will the EU take action against Apartheid Israel?
Israel’s expanding network of checkpoints is UNLAWFUL and must be dismantled immediately.
Part of the carceral geography of apartheid, it makes Palestiniams' daily life fully dependent on arbitrariness.
Thank you @WIRED for exposing this viciousness: https://www.wired.com/story/how-israeli-checkpoints-choke-palestinian-life-occupied-west-bank/
I hope people in #Gaza can see this.
#Milan 3/10/26: young people lit their phones in the dark to tell their peers in Gaza: you are not alone; spontanously they sang Free Palestine.
The young generation, marked by the genocide, will see apartheid Israel in the dock. #CSALambretta
Remember the alarm raised over Israel clearing Gaza’s rubble without caring to recover bodies for burial or preserve evidence (as requested by ICJ)? @CBC investigation confirms that warning mattered.
Below an informative interview with @weizman_eyal.
Trump has tried to destroy #UNRWA since 2018. He cannot do it: UNRWA is a subsidiary organ of the UN General Assembly (Res. 302(IV), 1949). The so-called Board of Peace cannot erase it. Only the GA can.
I wrote on this in 2018 👇Arguments are still valid. https://www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1649995
Look at the unprecedented level of destruction the world has allowed Apartheid-Israel to get away with in Gaza.
Know that the killing machine in that devastated ghetto is still running full throttle.
What a shame.
Mobilisation works.
For the first time, Israeli state bonds cannot be sold in the European Economic Area.
No EU state should reopen this channel of financing Israel’s apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Palestine.
RT: @muhammadshehad2 Israel soldier brags about murdering an elderly deaf civilian who begged him to spare his life
Soldiers burst out laughing & shake his hand!
The Israeli army promised to "investigate" this incident 929 days ago & nothing ever happened after!
RT: @kennardmatt This morning, Netanyahu’s so-called “Wing of Zion” plane was authorised to use the airspace of three ICC member countries—Greece, Italy, France—en route to New York
Netanyahu was indicted by ICC in November 2024 for war crimes and crimes against humanity

RT: @xIsraelExposedx 'The strongest case of genocide ever brought in front of the court.'
- Professor of Genocide studies Amos Goldberg explains how all experts and historians agree it's genocide, and even the leading world expert alive today, who wrote the textbook on genocide, agrees.
Anyone you see arguing against is it either a paid propagandist, or a follower of one.
Obrigada Presidente.
And it should never have fallen to my 13-year-old daughter to fight the US administration for infringing on my privileges and immunities as a UN independent expert.
RT: @hippyygoat To those torturing themselves not to call it a genocide….
please explain what is killing at least 20,000 children called?

RT: @owenjonesjourno Western elites have set the world on fire.
Then they blamed migrants and minorities for the wreckage.
You're being lied to - and that lie leads to catastrophe.
