Stanford students sustained a Gaza solidarity encampment on campus for 112 days before the admin tore it down in February.

Now, students have staked out a second Gaza encampment, building off new momentum and remaining totally undeterred by Stanford’s ban on such protests. @sit_in_to_stop_genocide

Immediate international action must be taken to investigate the hundreds of mass and random graves in the Gaza Strip containing the bodies of thousands of Palestinian victims since the start of Israel’s genocide, ongoing since 7 October 2023. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor field teams have closely observed the recovery of hundreds of dead bodies from these mass graves, some of which were found in the courtyards of different Gaza Strip hospitals. The significant number of graves and bodies is concerning and calls for rapid international action, which should include the immediate creation of an independent international investigation committee to look into the circumstances surrounding the creation of these graves and the deaths of the victims buried in them. This is especially important given that a large number of the victims were directly subjected to premeditated murder and arbitrary and extrajudicial executions while handcuffed. A technical committee of experts is needed to investigate the burial circumstances and determine the cause of death of the victims that have been recovered. Additionally, a system for future identification ofdeceased victims’ identities must be developed.

The Euro-Med Monitor field teams previously documented the recovery of dozens of bodies from the mass graves in Al-Shifa Medical Complex’s courtyards, belonging to handcuffed victims, otherindividuals who were wounded but not provided withmedical care, and those who were executed despite their health conditions. The victims’ decomposing bodies were found in several places, with some having been run over by Israeli bulldozers which left their bodies torn into pieces. The presence of urinary catheters or splints, whichwere found to be still attached to some of the dead patients’ bodies during the exhumation process, as well as medical files that were buried with them in Al-Shifa Medical Complex, confirm the execution of ill and injured people. Due to the extended period of time in which the bodies were left in the mass graves—as Israeli forces had impeded their recovery for the past few months—most of the bodies were in a state of decomposition when recovered. Some of the corpses had also evidently been mauled by cats and dogs. Dr Moatasem Saeed Salah, a member of the Ministry of Health’s emergency committee, told Euro-MedMonitor that after the withdrawal of Israeli forces, 30 bodies were found to have been buried in two makeshift cemeteries in Al-Shifa Medical Complexduring the Israeli siege of the medical facility. One of these cemeteries was in front of the reception and emergency department, and the second was in front of the industrial department. Salah said that only 14 of the victims had been successfully identified, with the rest being patients or injured individuals who had been receiving treatment in the hospital.

i wish i could say this more eloquently but watching these college solidarity encampments popping up around the world… watching university faculty use themselves as shields to protect their students from the police… watching these students put their own safety on the line to demand divestments… i’ve never seen anything like it, and every update moves me to tears.

HP (hewlett packard) is on the BDS boycott list so no buying of Ferrari merch if you care about holding zionists accountable for the genocide in Gaza. (you shouldn’t be anyway because they’re also sponsored by Puma which is also a BDS target).

That’s the bare minimum, but another simple thing you can do is comment POLITELY on Ferrari (and other teams sponsored by Puma) social media that you will not be purchasing any merchandise due to them taking money from a company implicit in an ongoing genocide. If teams see they could be losing revenue due to being associated with certain companies they may not renew contracts or take said sponsors onboard.

For the past three months, @furusawayusuke_ has been demonstrating in the streets of Tokyo for a ceasefire in Gaza. Although he’s alone, the activist mobilizes almost every day with his banner. ⁣

Palestine’s representative to the UN made a speech yesterday that moved other representatives to tears. Only the US voted against yesterday’s proposed resolution to support recognizing Palestine as a full member state of the UN.
