Displaced families are facing shortages, overcrowding, and dire hygiene conditions.
Acute malnutrition cases in children are on the rise over the past 5 months.⬇️

Today Netanyahu's gov't approved a resolution to sanction Haaretz - halting any state advertising, state funded subscriptions or any other "connections" with the paper.
We will not be deterred.

Another great thread. This time about Steinmeier and his flawed Russia policy.
16 Oct 2022
Frank-Walter Steinmeier was the key architect of Merkel’s failed 🇷🇺 policy. His essay “Verflechtung und Integration” in Internationale Politik (2007) reveals major conceptual flaws. It is also indicative Germany’s inadequate strategic culture. A short 🧵/1 internationalepolitik.de/de/…

“Trump’s victory suggests that alongside [the] voters who are thrilled by his misogyny, xenophobia, bullying, and mendacity, there are many more who are at the very least not repelled.... They know what he’s like and don’t much mind.” —@fotoole go.nybooks.com/3CC3J2C

Als je informatie opvraagt bij de overheid, heb je altijd recht op een tijdig antwoord. Toch lopen voornamelijk politiek-gevoelige verzoeken van journalisten vaak flinke vertraging op: de afhandeling duurt dan weken langer. ftm.nl/artikelen/overheid-ve…

Forensic Architecture put out a 827-page report analysing Israeli military actions, demonstrating in practice the genocide, and it's been largely ignored. Findings include: "Between 7 Oct 2023 and 30 June 2024 approximately 83% of all plant life in Gaza was destroyed."
ALT Between 7 October 2023 and 30 June 2024: Approximately 83% of all plant life in Gaza was destroyed. Approximately 70% of Gaza’s agricultural land, 104 sq km (out of 150 sq km) of fields and orchards, were destroyed. More than 3,700 greenhouse structures in Gaza, 45% of its total, were destroyed. More than 47% of groundwater wells and 65% of water tanks were destroyed or damaged. The status of 29% of the wells is unknown. None of the wastewater treatment facilities in Gaza have remained intact or functional.

De Nederlandse overheid doet zaken met bewakingsgigant G4S, een bedrijf dat in opspraak is vanwege mensenrechtenschendingen. Verschillende beleggers namen afscheid van G4S; toch sloten Nederlandse overheidsinstellingen nog miljoenencontracten met hen af. ftm.nl/artikelen/beveiliging…

Zeer teleurgesteld en volledig in verwarring. Ik heb niets concreets mogen vernemen over de dreiging en kan slechts zeggen dat als het morgen in Utrecht hierom niet kan, het overmorgen elders ook niet zal kunnen. Wash, rinse, repeat. Wat blijft er zo over van ons grondrecht om te demonstreren?
13 Nov 2024
Doodzonde en onacceptabel dat het onderwijsprotest morgen niet door kan gaan door dreiging van geweld.
Het kabinet wil de grootste bezuiniging op onderwijs ooit doorvoeren. Studenten en docenten verdienen het om daarover gehoord te worden!

EPP is - yet again - on the brink of breaking the pro-European coalition. The real question remains: where does the future of the European Union lie according to @EPPGroup? In the centre of politics or with the far right?

Berlin's official city portal just wrote our film No Other Land has "antisemitic tendencies". A film that won the Berlinale and was recently invited to a special screening in the German embassy in Israel. It pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel's occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians. I feel unsafe and unwelcome in Berlin of 2024 as a left-wing Israeli and will take legal action.
