If only #US citizens had taken to the streets when their governments invaded #Iraq and #Afghanistan, when they mercilessly bombed #Yugoslavia and #Libya without any legitimacy from the #UN. When they bombed civilians in #Palestine and #Yemen.
When they made juntas and color revolutions in #Nicaragua, #Venezuela, #Chile and #Ukraine.
But in the end they only protested when tariffs hit nike air imported from #Vietnam.
Francesca Albanese will continue in her role as UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories until 2028, the UN Human Rights Council confirmed on Saturday.
This follows the terms already set during her appointment in 2022, despite earlier reports suggesting that her three-year term was ending this week.
Pro-Israel advocates pushed against keeping Albanese in the position.

Newly-released mobile phone footage shows the moment Israeli soldiers opened fired on a convoy of ambulances in Gaza, killing 15 rescue workers.
The video contradicts the Israel Defence Forces account of the incident, in which they claimed the vehicles had been travelling without headlights or emergency flashing lights and appeared to be a threat.
The video, released by the Palestine Red Crescent Society shows the clearly-marked ambulances.
An ‘admission, but they are sorry (they may have made a mistake - bollox) so that is OK. Now how about the other aid workers, journalists and the civilians who have all been slaughtered in this genocide?
This video was discovered on the cellphone of a paramedic who was found along with 14 other Palestinian rescue and medical workers in a mass grave in Gaza

Some scenes from the #AugustaME #HandsOff rally (not my images -- from the Kennebec Journal)
by Hannah Kaufman, Kennebec Journal
AUGUSTA — "By about 2:20 p.m., the protest in Augusta had effectively ended, but for a smaller group, the march continued, with some making their third and fourth laps around the block.
Organizers had intended the march to take place on the sidewalk, but the width of Capitol Street was filled with a throng of protesters shortly before 2 p.m.
"Vivian Myers-Jones, a protester from New Brunswick, Canada, said an organizer estimated 3,000 people were at the protest during its peak.
"Several students from Bates College in Lewiston said they came to Augusta to protest in support of #Palestine. One student, Dylan, said action on the Israel-Hamas war is overdue.
"'We’ve been seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes for years now, and it’s overdue that people are doing something,' he said. 'We’ve been trying to make change, and I think some people are being shocked into action now, which is good to see.'
"Another student, Robert, said it’s important to exercise the right to protest.
'We’re fighting to continue fighting — about Palestine, about everything that’s going on in this country,' he said.
It’s important that we come together now.'"

The only thing that's fair then is for #Hamas to be allowed to kill 8 #Israeli #medics. An eye for an eye. Oh, and while Hamas is at it, they should be able to kill the family and children of those 8 Israeli medics too, and raze their family homes to the ground.
After all, that's the standard that Israel has created.
Anything less would be hypocritical.
Anybody that thinks this is a bad idea is also a hypocrite because this is exactly the kind of bullshit Israel has been pulling for 40, 50 some-odd years in #Palestine.

I the face of Israeli massacres in Gaza, some of my relatives outside of Israel continue to say, that we need to get rid of Bibi, that he's responsible.
I cannot emphasize this enough: it's not Netanyahu. It's Israel. The overwhelming majority of Israelis are behind IDF actions. They either turn a blind eye to massacre, justify them under the pretext of fighting Hamas, or straight up say it is deserved.
Associated Press (AP) | Phone video from one of 15 Palestinian medics killed by Israeli forces last month appears to contradict #Israel claims that the medics’ vehicles did not have emergency signals on when troops opened fire on them in southern #Gaza
The footage shows the Red Crescent and Civil Defense teams driving slowly with their emergency vehicles’ lights flashing, logos visible, as they pulled up to help an ambulance that had come under fire earlier
Because the Jewish community has not shown the minimal moral capacity to call out genocide I cannot take concern around alleged pro-Palestine antisemitism seriously as it appears to just be a strategy to aid and abet Israel’s crimes.
“Microsoft leadership must divest from Israel and stop selling lethal technology to power apartheid and genocide.”
