“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.

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?

Israeli operations are pushing tens of thousands of West Bank Palestinians like Lutfi out of their homes, says B'Tselem, the independent Israeli human rights information center. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/09/world/ghost-camp-israel-west-bank/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #westbank #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #benjaminnetanyahu

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?

A sharp increase in barriers in the Israeli-occupied West Bank since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip is seen putting towns and villages in a state of permanent siege. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/07/world/west-bank-prison-israel-fences/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #westbank

If I'm understanding this correctly, Israeli settlers did a pogrom in the west bank, and when the IDF tried to intervene, they then raided an IDF base (also located in the west bank).
