That’s what you call double standards.
The European Union has warned Israel that it is ready to impose sanctions on those aiding and abetting the trade of Ukrainian grain stolen by Russia in the occupied territories, after a new ship loaded with the cereal arrived in the port of Haifa.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is being held unlawfully. His arbitrary detention must immediately be brought to an end. Each additional day compounds the responsibility of those detaining him.
May all Palestinian hostages be released soon.
May the perpetrators face justice soon.
UPDATE
The Israeli court approved the extension of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s detention, without charges.
The request for his immediate release was denied, despite the unlawful nature of his detention while carrying out his medical duties.
He is held in Negev Prison in harsh conditions, without access to medication or medical care, as his health continues to deteriorate.
We demand the immediate release of Dr. Abu Safiya along with 13 other detained doctors, as well as all medical personnel currently held in Israel. We call on the international community to intervene and put an end to this abuse.

I am from this village that Zionists has now wiped out for the second time. The first was in 1976. Today, they are doing this to every village in the southern sector of South Lebanon. This is a form of genocide. Their ultimate aim is to steal our land like they stole Palestine.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found dead after hours of searching under rubble. She was killed in an Israeli strike, after the Israeli army fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue.
She is the fourth journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March.
She was a professional, kind and dedicated journalist, and always a pleasure to run into in the field.

By putting the EU-Israel trade deal before human life, the EU puts profit before people. Italy and Germany continue to block the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
But change is vital. One million people in Europe, 75 NGOs, 400 diplomats and officials, Belgium, Ireland, Slovenia and Spain are calling for the suspension of the EU-Israel trade agreement.
Sign our petition: amn.st/6017BBDdcT
Demand @giorgiameloni and @bundeskanzler show integrity and stop greenlighting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and unlawful occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and apartheid over all Palestinians.
Humanity must win.

The EU had yet another opportunity to redeem itself of its moral bankruptcy on Israel. And once again it has failed to do so, with Germany and Italy predictably blocking the suspension of the EU-Israel agreement. Shame 🇮🇹 🇩🇪

Why would Israel target medical workers in Gaza and now southern Lebanon? It is part of a strategy to make life unlivable so as to drive out the civilian population. In Gaza, it became part of Israel's genocide. x.com/AJEnglish/status/20457…
Apr 19
At least 57 medical workers have been killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon since early March, according to reports. It follows a pattern previously seen in Gaza.
@ajlabs examines how healthcare systems have repeatedly come under attack in Israel’s military offensives.

Spain is showing the way, pointing out the obvious. The carrots did not work: Israel’s anticipated socialisation did not play out as the EU hoped. Rather than Israel integrating European norms and values, the EU moved towards Israel.
Apr 19
Sanchez announced that Spain will formally request, at Tuesday's meeting of the EU's 27 foreign ministers in Luxembourg, that the association agreement with Israel be terminated. "A government that violates international law or EU principles cannot be its partner," he argued.

The major reason why the world is now a terrifying, lawless place without rules or norms EXCEPT the rule that "might is right", is that the Gaza GENOCIDE has taken place for over 2 years: day after day, in plain sight of the world, murder, starvation, destruction WITH IMPUNITY

Pam Bondi refused to show up for today’s Oversight deposition — defying our lawful subpoena.
We couldn’t care less that she was fired from her job as Attorney General. She is responsible for leading the White House cover-up of the Epstein files.
Since she didn’t show up, Oversight Democrats will move to hold her in contempt of Congress.
The survivors deserve justice — and we will get answers. Enough is enough.

I appeal to European leaders: it is never too late to do the right thing. Stopping trade with and arms transfers to Israel, in light of the illegal occupation and associated crimes, is your obligation. What else must Israel do for you to suspend this agreement?
🚨 Action! On April 21, EU foreign ministers will decide whether to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement — or delay again.
What they do depends on pressure from us. #SanctionsNow
Suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement NOW!

Gravely concerned by reports #Israel cabinet in April approved 34 new settlements in occupied West Bank – the highest number ever approved at one time. This continues the sharp upward trend of unlawful settlement building that extends & consolidates Israel's annexation of occupied Palestinian territory.
Israel must immediately cease the establishment & expansion of settlements, & reverse its settlement policies by evacuating all settlers & ending the occupation of Palestinian territory.

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.
