❤️ Raed is human rights researcher & lawyer, and a friend, doing crucial work on the ground in #Gaza. For quite some time now, Raed has been separated from his wife and children, and they are struggling to get by under exceptionally difficult circumstances. Support for his fundraiser is direct support for his family--and ultimately his vital work in service of his community. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a massive difference. A million thanks ❤️ https://chuffed.org/project/144681-emergency-fundraiser-help-reunite-a-gaza-family-torn-apart-by-war

“The leaked #Microsoft files suggest that a large proportion of [Unit 8200’s] sensitive data may now be sitting in [Microsoft] datacentres in the Netherlands and #Ireland.”
Which in turn, if I understand correctly, would suggest that Ireland stands implicated in the targeted killing of as many as 60,000 Gazans, "the majority of whom are civilians, including over 18,000 children."

Francesca Albanese spells out *obligations* in plain English for Mins., PMs, Presidents:
1. Sanction Israel
2. Impose a total arms embargo (no buy, no sell, no transfer, direct or indirect)
3. Break the siege (send navies instead of dropping food on the head of starving genocide survivors)
4. Suspend all trade agreements with Israel till the end of the genocide, occupation and apartheid.
5. Investigate and prosecute individuals and orgs that have committed crimes in the oPt.

#Ireland, #Spain, #Slovenia officially recognized the genocide in Gaza, & so triggered their legal obligations under the Genocide Convention not just to speak, but to lead their EU peers in preventing & punishing it. They can formally request an emergency European Council meeting under Art. 15(3) TEU, which empowers the President to convene extraordinary sessions in cases demanding urgent collective EU action: the IPC has officially declared a worst-case scenario of famine unfolding in Gaza.

Evidently, partial suspensions of Israeli participation in Horizon Europe won’t cut it (not in the face of a man-made famine unprecedented in Europe’s memory since the Dutch Hunger Winter of WW II). European Commission former diplomats have conveyed as much to the Presidents of the European Council, the EC, and the European Parliament, as well as to the EU’s foreign affairs chief—and to the heads of government and foreign ministers of all EU member states.

B’Tselem – The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories warns that the Israeli regime will expand its genocide in the Gaza Strip into the other areas where Palestinians live under Israeli rule, if not stopped using “every means available under international law to save whoever and whatever we can, and to put an end to the continued suffering of millions of people.”

Every stage of Israel’s campaign of genocidal starvation targeting 2M Gazans was predictable and preventable. And yet at every turn, the EC, the EU Council, and member state leaders have refused to act--allowing a minute-by-minute exponential catastrophe to unfold into the painful death of severely malnourished children, pregnant women, the injured, chronically ill, and elderly, and ultimately, the complete “emptying out” and destruction of Gaza itself.

In response to unprecedented urban starvation since WWII, declared today by the IPC as a ‘worst-case scenario of famine unfolding in Gaza’ -- so minutely engineered, controlled, and preventable, the EC is proposing only a partial suspension of Israel’s participation in Horizon Europe, limited to the EIC Accelerator [i.e. only projects with “potential dual-use applications, such as in cybersecurity, drones, and AI”].

Yes, but apparently there is no longer any food available even for those who can afford purchase it at astronomical prices on the black market, and want to avoid GHF food sites.
