Must read: 👇 ❗
"Emmanuel Macron praises and commends Trump’s initiative, while Israeli leader Lapid calls on the Nobel Committee to award Trump a peace prize. Leaders have lined up to claim credit for ending a genocide they spent 2 years, and the previous 77, funding, arming and enabling.
But Gaza never needed saving. Gaza needed the world to stop killing it. Gaza needed the world to simply let its people live on their land, free of occupation, apartheid and genocide."

2/2 "And while #Gaza bled, the powerful perfected the art of denial. And when I see the people of Gaza celebrating in the streets, I know that this celebration belongs to them alone, not to Trump, who has announced he will visit the region to take credit for what he calls a “historic occasion”, and not to Western leaders who profited from Gaza’s devastation while pretending neutrality. The people rushing to cameras to claim credit are the same ones who made the genocide possible, who funded it"
3/3 "The only pressure that mattered came from the people Israel couldn't silence, Palestinians who livestreamed their own deaths so the world couldn't claim ignorance or accept Israel’s falsehoods as truth. The ceasefire came because Palestinian steadfastness broke something bombs couldn't touch, because the facade of Israeli victimhood crumbled under the weight of livestreamed atrocity, and global public opinion turned against Israel despite every effort to manufacture consent for genocide."
4/4 👇 ❗
"There must be full accountability, not just for Israel but for every government and corporation that made this genocide possible. There must be a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel immediately, economic sanctions until there is complete withdrawal from occupied territory, freedom for the more than 10,000 Palestinian hostages, and reparations for reconstruction determined and distributed by Palestinians themselves."
5/5 👇 ❗
"War criminals must be prosecuted at The Hague, regardless of which nation objects.
This is just the start. Justice is not a diplomatic option; it is the minimum measure of our shared humanity.
The “peace” Trump’s plan promises died with every child in #Gaza, every displaced family, and every day the world called #genocide “self-defence”, ignoring the International Court of Justice’s 2004 ruling that an occupier cannot claim self-defence against the occupied."
