“The EU’s most senior diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said the bloc would keep ‘options on the table’ to pressure Israel’s government if there was no improvement in the ‘catastrophic’ humanitarian situation in Gaza. According to several diplomatic sources she did not endorse any one of 10 sanctions options drawn up by her team, after an earlier EU review found ‘indications’ Israel was in breach of human rights commitments.”

Dear @EUCommission,

Your complicity in the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people is not going unnoticed.

Shame on you.

I’m not an expert on these things so are we calling it the Israeli-American genocide of the Palestinian people or the American-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people?

Also, is that fair to Germany?

Is Israeli-American-German genocide of the Palestinian people more precise?

Would that make other EU countries with their own valid contributions to the genocide feel left out?

Thoughts?

Finally: the United States sanctions Israeli officials for their ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

And by that I mean the United States sanctions the United Nations Human Rights Council special rapporteur Francesca Albanese for criticising and calling for an end to Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.

“Are we the baddies?”

What a silly question. When did you stop?

Dear @EUCommission,

X’s AI (in other words, X Corp.) is spewing blatant antisemitism. Will you do something about it or is your defense of the Jewish people limited to your members legitimising, censoring criticism of, arming, and profiting financially from the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people?

Ook Nederlandse bedrijven dragen bij aan mensenrechtenschendingen, #apartheid en #genocide.

Er ligt genoeg bewijs voor het OM om de bestuurders te onderzoeken en mogelijkerwijs te vervolgen, schrijft
@onrust.

"Het is tijd dat 'schendingen van internationaal recht' niet langer slechts als een politieke leus gezien wordt. Behandel zulke schendingen als ieder ander misdrijf."

“Just as Nazi Germany’s crimes could not have been committed without the technology IBM provided to track, round-up and murder Jews, Romani people and the disabled, Israel’s apartheid and genocide of the Palestinians would not be possible without Microsoft.”
