I’ve reported 18 wars over 35 years. I’ve been shot at, kidnapped, threatened, nearly raped. I’ve lost friends from Sarajevo to Syria. I thought I’d seen the worst of humanity. I was wrong. Nothing compares to Gaza — or the complicity letting it happen.

Amnesty strongly condemns Israel’s targeted killing of journalists Anas al-Sharif, Ibrahim Zaher, Moamen Aliwa, Mohammed al-Khalidi, Mohammed Noufal and Mohammed Qreiqeh by Israeli forces, on a tent used by media near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, on Sunday.
Anas al-Sharif and his colleagues have been the eyes and voices of Gaza. Starved and exhausted, they continued to bravely report from the frontlines, despite death threats and immense grief.
ALT Anas’s message to the world hours before being killed by Israeli forces: "SILENCE IS COMPLICITY"

Your voice matters. You have the right to say what you think, share information and demand a better world. You also have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions in peaceful protests.
Today, and every day, we must #ProtectTheProtest.

#Türkiye: We are very concerned by the detention of at least 92 people over the past week, including Istanbul’s democratically-elected mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu.
All those detained for the legitimate exercise of their rights must be released immediately & unconditionally.

The Federation of German Architects (BDA) officially endorses my call for recognizing mass destruction of housing as domicide. I encourage all professional arch/planning associations to do the same. Link to story and a Podcast.

German authorities must stop their crackdown on speech and protests and the discriminatory restriction of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.

#Israel’s intensified military assault against the occupied #WestBank marks a dangerous escalation against Palestinians – UN experts warn of catastrophic ramifications if States fail to intervene to protect the Palestinian people in line with int'l law.

Those who armed Israel must go to jail.
Those who used platforms to justify Israel's mass slaughter must have their reputations destroyed.
If not, we will normalise depravity which will lead to the ruin of us all.

Countless people in Iran remain arbitrarily detained and at risk of execution or prolonged unjust imprisonment. All those arbitrarily detained in Iran's prisons must be immediately released.

Eight members of the Israeli Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee have called to destroy all sources of water, food and energy in northern Gaza.
This is genocidal in the purest sense. Outright, explicitly genocidal. The Zionist project must be stopped and dismantled.

For over a year, the world has been bearing witness to unfathomable levels of death and destruction in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Act now call on Israel to immediately stop committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza: amn.st/6011vU1sD

In BBC coverage, mentions of Israeli and Palestinians deaths competed for space since 7th October.
That's despite far more Palestinian deaths.
There's one exception - a huge spike in the mentions of Palestinian deaths in early April.
The reason for this should disturb you.

The depth of Macron's tone-deafness and condescension is genuinely staggering.
Here he is in Mayotte, a French overseas territory off the coast of Africa that just suffered an absolutely devastating cyclone, literally shouting at people complaining of their situation that they ought to be "happy to be in France! Because if this wasn't France, I'm telling you, you would be 10,000 times more in deep shit."
This response is almost beyond belief. Imagine you're one of these people, you've lost your home and maybe someone from your family, you live in what's by far the poorest département in France (the poverty rate in Mayotte is an insane 77.3%, insee.fr/fr/statistiques/503…) and the President of the Republic comes to visit only to scream at you that you should be grateful because you'd be "10,000 times more in deep shit" without France. The sheer disconnect is mind-blowing.
Also the fact that he resorts to profanity and angry outbursts while demanding unity and respect from others is particularly ironic. A true leader in this situation would acknowledge the pain and devastation, outline specific plans for recovery, and unite people around a vision for rebuilding. Instead, Macron chooses to berate disaster victims for not being sufficiently grateful...
