Rather than denying Israeli soldiers massacred a crowd of starving Palestinians, Israel’s National Security minister just… admitted it. Not only admitted it. Celebrated it. And used the massacre to justify calling for the little aid getting into Gaza to end altogether.

יש להעניק גיבוי מוחלט ללוחמינו הגיבורים הפועלים בעזה, שפעלו מצוין מול המון עזתי שניסה לפגוע בהם. היום הוכח שהעברת הסיוע ההומניטרי לעזה היא לא רק טירוף בשעה שחטופינו מוחזקים ברצועה בתת תנאים, אלא גם מסכנת את חיילי צה"ל. זו עוד סיבה מובהקת לכך שחייבים להפסיק להעביר את הסיוע הזה,…

You don’t murder over 15,000 children, bomb over 300,000 houses, destroy hundreds of schools and universities, ruin ever single mosque and church, destroy every single hospital, attack refugee camps in safe zones, displace millions and get to say it’s a “PLAUSIBLE GENOCIDE”……

Military emissions account for more than the greenhouse emissions of aviation and shipping combined. If global militaries were a country, they'd be the 4th largest emitter. And yet military is excluded from climate targets & reporting. Our planet needs peace and demilitarisation.

Happy to learn that the vote on the convention has PASSED! The rich country governments voting against this motion have shown that they are on the wrong side of history--and on the side of the rich and big corporations rather than their own people.

To quote the Chair of the #AfricaGroupaUN, H.E. Dr. Chola Milambo: “This convention is not just a fiscal tool; it is a lifeline to millions who aspire for better healthcare, education and a life of dignity.”

Honduras is fighting back against corporate colonialism and neocolonialism, we must stand with it! US billionaires & corporation, Honduras Próspera, have launched an $11 billion ISDS case against Honduras (two-thirds of the govt’s annual budget) tribunemag.co.uk/2023/11/hondur…

🚨BREAKING🚨 Countries have just voted in support of a #UNTaxConvention. In favour (125), against (49). This is a historic moment, paving the way for the decolonisation & democratisation of global tax policy. The UK and many other wealthy OECD countries voted against it.

Shameless! The UK govt is trying to DELETE all mentions of a "convention" in today's vote on a #UNTaxConvention. Tell @Rishi_Sunak & @Jeremy_Hunt to stop defending a tax system that lets corporations dodge $1 trillion in tax every year &support democratising global tax.👇 #2C

How can we advance womens economic empowerment?

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, says that Israel cannot claim the right of ‘self-defence’ under international law because Gaza is a territory which it occupies ⤵️

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's the first time in history we're witnessing a state not only murder UN workers on such a scale but actually tell the UN they deserved it, and scold THEM for criticizing the killings. I simply have no words.

The ten dumbest things we're being asked to believe about Gaza: 1. That Israel had no idea what Hamas was up to prior to October 7, but ever since October 7 has known about every hospital, mosque, school, refugee camp and water tower that Hamas is hiding in. 2. That the blame…

“Some women experience postpartum bleeding and we can’t manage it… we’ve preformed hysterectomies on women who could have been saved. But to save blood, we’ve made the decision to remove uterus to increase the chances of not losing the patient.” #Gaza

The BBC confirms that Israeli forces have bombed "safety" zones in south Gaza where they told Palestinians to evacuate to. Not once or twice. Repeatedly. bbc.com/news/world-mid…

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

.@FordFoundation's @MonicaAleman_ : we are no angels in philanthropy. We are deeply patriarchal and colonial and we lack courage and commitment. At Ford we try, we deploy $900m a year, $60m are for women's rights. Only 15 of 600 of our institutional strengthening portfolio #sffp
