#humanitarian aid workers

It took a white man burning himself, for the media to tell the truth.

It took 7 white people to be killed for the UNHRC to pass a resolution to ban selling arms to Israel.

The level, to which this world has dehumanized us, is incomprehensible to me.

Hey things in America is on the verge of collapse right now and I wanted to share about this organization real quick. Please share this even if you don’t live in the U.S.

They post about and organize all sorts of strikes across the country for Palestine, workers rights, queer rights, etc…

They are currently pushing for a general strike across the nation. When they reach their goal of participants they will organize a nationwide strike against the corporations and legislators that are devastating this country and others. This would be incredibly impactful.

Please, if you are a U.S. citizen I implore you to sign the strike card and become a participant, this is so important if we want a better quality of life and have a say in what this country does.

You can follow them on social media for updates and current strikes, and join the discord for extra info, weekly meetings, and ways to get involved

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edit: also wanted to mention they are partnering with New Jersey For Palestine to have a nationwide strike on the U.S. economy for funding genocide the on the 24th. You can pledge to participate here:

Claire’s injuries throughout the franchise

Felt inspired to make this post documenting the shit my poor girl has been through throughout the series. Some of it is kiiiinda speculation, mostly like “she would definitely be injured by this even if canon doesn’t specifically acknowledge it” but nothing is made up

RE2

She gets fucked up by Birkin, Mr. X, the other monsters, and this is evident from the multiple cuts and abrasions all over her by the end of the game

Code Veronica

So, not so fun fact, people have pointed out that, when Wesker slaps Claire in the face so hard she goes flying, technically with the force and distance she went, that hit should have straight up decapitated her. Yes, ik this is just to scare us/make us hate Wesker/show us his scary, inhuman strength, and it’s old video game physics we don’t need to take seriously, but like. That would still be an incredibly painful injury. It goes on the list.

Degeneration

She got stabbed in the leg by a large shard of glass when the explosion went off. She also pulled it out (not the smartest move) and was limping around on a makeshift cane after that.

Infinite Darkness

She breaks her arm during the fight with Jason, severely, as we see her wearing a sling afterwards and mentions the hospital (she’s making a joke w/ that mention but I think she genuinely was in the hospital)

Revelations 2

She gets infected with an evolution of the t-virus, t-phobos, and when barely escaping the island by jumping off a high cliff, she’s found floating in the ocean and taken to a hospital for any number of injuries

Heavenly Island

A gun is fired directly next to her ear, which definitely would have deafened her at least temporarily if not permanently from rupturing her eardrum

Death Island

She gets stabbed in the neck by the “drone” and infected with another virus. The symptoms start to weaken her physically, even though Rebecca yurily gives her the antidote, it’s still an injury and some tough shit she went through

The Israeli army has been committing an average of 16 massacres daily in the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7

[dontmeantobepoliticalbut]

The White House has condemned an attack on an aid convoy heading to Gaza by Israeli settlers who threw packages of food into the road and set fire to the vehicles.

Video of the incident on Monday at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, showed settlers blocking the trucks and throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground. Photographs from the scene showed piles of damaged aid packages and drifts of rice and flour across the road.

Late on Monday, photos began circulating on social media showing the trucks on fire.

Israel has faced heavy international pressure to step up the flow of aid into Gaza, where international organisations have warned of a severe humanitarian crisis threatening a population of more than 2 million people.

“It is a total outrage that there are people who are attacking and looting these convoys coming from Jordan, going to Gaza to deliver humanitarian assistance,” US national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters.

“We are looking at the tools that we have to respond to this,” he added. “We are also raising our concerns at the highest level of the Israeli government and it’s something that we make no bones about – this is completely and utterly unacceptable behaviour.”

Referring to a US report issued on Friday on Israeli compliance with international humanitarian law, Sullivan said that the Israeli state had hindered aid deliveries in the recent past but had improved the flow sufficiently, so as not to be subject to restrictions on military aid that might have been required under US law.

“We believe that there were periods over the last few weeks where there were restrictions that had to be worked through,” Sullivan said. “But at the time we put that report forward, we felt that there was sufficient work being done by the Israeli government with respect to the facilitation of humanitarian aid, that we did not make a judgment that anything had to be done in terms of US assistance.”

Police do not appear to have intervened to stop the looting, though four people including a minor were later reported to have been arrested.

This is not the first time that settlers have tried to stop the flow of aid to Gaza, which is already only a fraction of that needed by the population of the embattled territory.

Last week, Israeli demonstrators blocked a road near the desert town of Mitzpe Ramon to protest against the delivery of aid trucks into the strip. The protesters – who say the aid is helping Hamas and want to block its passage until all Israeli hostages are freed – formed a sit-in protest as they scattered rocks across the road to prevent vehicles from passing, creating standstill traffic.

Israel’s siege of Gaza has created what aid officials are referring to as “man-made starvation”, with the territory facing the threat of mass deaths from famine with children already dying from hunger.

In March, the international court of justice ordered Israel to allow unimpeded access of food aid into Gaza, where sections of the population are facing imminent starvation.

Aid efforts have been further complicated by the temporary closure of the headquarters of the main channel for humanitarian support for Palestinians after weeks of violent protests and arson attacks by Israeli right-wingers.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees announced it was closing its East Jerusalem headquarters on Thursday after a fresh attack by what Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the agency, described as “Israeli extremists”.

For all those who've kept up-to-date on the Ukraine Proxy-war, our friend at iEarl Grey: Foreign Agent Mike and his friend Masha have gone missing near the Bakhmut/Soledar area while attempting to bring humanitarian aid to civilians near the front lines.

No word yet on their safety or location.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of Mike and Masha. We hope for their safe return 🙏

The Turkish state hinders the volunteers who come here. I mean, we experienced it ourselves, friends, acquaintances of ours who came here yesterday to participate in search and rescue operations. And five times on the way, we have the seventh day today, they were stopped by the police, stopped by the military, taken to the ground, beaten and photographed as thieves. All the while they have come here to help and we know this.

Zionist charities in Canada are paying student journalists to write and share “pro-Israel" content.

The program, now operated by HRC and Allied Voices for Israel (AVI), consists of post-secondary students being paid $1,000 for six months of participation, with the expectation that they:  • “Monitor their local campus media”; • “Respond to problematic coverage, whether by filing complaints or submitting counter letters to the editor and rebuttal op-eds”; • “Proactively submit opinion commentaries and press releases to steer the conversation about Israel, following with the adage that the best defense is a strong offense”; • “Create and share pro-Israel content on social media and report antisemitic/anti-Israel content.”

War on Gaza: Israeli forces target aid workers in string of killings amid imminent famine

[phaon1]

The United Nations World Food Programme temporarily suspended movement of its employees across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, saying at least 10 bullets struck one of its clearly marked vehicles as it approached an Israeli military checkpoint.
