#collective punishment is a war crime

[samasmith23]

I don’t know who made this artwork, but I feel need to share it since this is an incredibly important and dire situation! Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man, Nova & Snowguard all speak the truth here! Call for a ceasefire immediately! Free Palestine and end the Israeli apartheid & genocide in Gaza now! Palestinian rights are human rights and collective punishment is a war crime!

INSKEEP: Why not stop the payments?

BARTH EIDE: Because we are - let me first say that we are exactly as shocked and appalled by the accusations of some UNRWA staff potentially having participated in the terrorist attack the 7 of October. That's unacceptable, and we demand full transparency. But cutting funds now is really the wrong moment because we're talking about millions of people in extreme humanitarian distress. Remember that it's not only the bombing and shelling and fighting that kills people. It's actually also now lack of food, lack of clean water, lack of basic medical facilities. And many of those are provided to the extent they are provided at all through UNRWA. So I think what we should abstain from is anything that looks like we're giving a collective punishment against all the Palestinian people because the - of the misdeeds and wrongdoings of some.

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

—Martin Niemöller

For so long, we’ve wondered how the world could let the Holocaust happen and here we are - not even 100 years later - turning our heads away while our tax dollars are used to fund genocide as we struggle to fill our cabinets and house our families. We’ve come way too far to let this happen again on this planet. This is the future. There are no excuses. Collective punishment is a war crime.

100% of the proceeds from ALL sales and commissions will be donated to send aid to Palestine. Receipts will be posted with each and every sale.

We have the power to do something about this and it's going to take all of us.

the flippancy people use to acknowledge the horrific genocide happening in Gaza and the West Bank right now in their haste to label any critique of Israel as anti-semitism while Israeli officials will go on live tv to assert for the millionth time that yes, they do in fact want to ethnically cleanse Palestine is so infuriating.

This is what zionists swore up and down MLK would support. My God!

What does that story being from eight years ago change? It’s horrific, and eight years isn’t even that long. I don’t understand why eight years ago means just forget about it?

(In response to this post, about Israel's bombing of the Palestinian Territories)

Just the opposite. Instead of forgetting about it, I want people to remember that that this has been going on a lot longer than Western news outlets have been paying attention to it.

Not everything is about Israel's retaliation for the Hamas attack on 7 October, 2023.

The Israeli army is just shooting anyone they think is Palestinian, much the same way that Israel is indiscriminately bombing all of Gaza, including the “safe zones” where they have directed noncombatant civilians to go right before they bomb them anyway. It’s war crimes, plain and simple.

Every single time I think they couldn't possibly be any more sadistic - Israeli soldiers are WELDING DOORS TO PALESTINIAN HOMES SHUT WHILE CHILDREN ARE INSIDE

Decolonise Palestine immediately

Know that!

Israeli troops fired on a large crowd of Palestinians racing to pull food off an aid convoy in Gaza City on Thursday, witnesses said. More than 100 people were killed in the chaos, which has since been termed the "flour massacre."

This brutal attack has rightly drawn condemnation from many quarters, including from protestors in Tel Aviv, who held up flour bags with red paint on them in protest against the massacre.

(Edited to remove a couple lines that expressed a conclusion I'd jumped to too hastily, which has since been corrected.)
