- Reposted by Azalea Dunn/A.Z. Dunsworth 🇯🇲 🇳🇬 🍉If you weren't following events in Gaza in 2023/early 2024, know that when the first photos of atrocities appeared, people lined up to shout that they were fake or staged. Now we know that not only were they real, the US actively worked to suppress the truth of the reports.
- Reposted by Azalea Dunn/A.Z. Dunsworth 🇯🇲 🇳🇬 🍉It is funny how pro Israel people always say that these human rights NGOs are predisposed to always ruling against Israel, but in reality Arabs have to work extra hard to have their basic humanity acknowledged by these NGOs. It seems we cannot even get HRW to apply consistency on RoR here.
- Reposted by Azalea Dunn/A.Z. Dunsworth 🇯🇲 🇳🇬 🍉Read the full report here and ask yourself how these principles, which have ICJ precedence backing it up, don't apply also to Palestine.
- Reposted by Azalea Dunn/A.Z. Dunsworth 🇯🇲 🇳🇬 🍉It is interesting that Kenneth Roth claims that the report is not substantiated by international legal principles when HRW released a virtually identical conclusion in a different report on the denial of a return to amounting to a crime against humanity in Chagos. Why a Palestine exception?
- Two HRW employees that make up the entirety of the organization's Israel and Palestine program are stepping down after the leadership blocked a report that deems Israel’s denial of Palestinian refugees the right of return a "crime against humanity." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

- Reposted by Azalea Dunn/A.Z. Dunsworth 🇯🇲 🇳🇬 🍉Demonstrations were held in parts of Ethiopia yesterday, not far from where clashes between Ethiopian forces & Tigrayan rebels went on for 5 days. Protesters called for an end to fighting & for the rebels to vacate the area. Following calls from the international community, fighting has halted.
- Reposted by Azalea Dunn/A.Z. Dunsworth 🇯🇲 🇳🇬 🍉The primary reason Palestinians still regard their land as having been stolen is because half of all the Palestinians in the world are specifically, by law, prevented from ever stepping foot in and living in historic Palestine.
- I think even more pertinent in this is whether or not the arbitrary regime of denying freedom of movement still exists, in the case of the EU it largely does not. In the case of the US also, not really, albeit it is strange with dual sovereignty. In the case of Israel and Türkiye, it certainly does.
- Reposted by Azalea Dunn/A.Z. Dunsworth 🇯🇲 🇳🇬 🍉“Investments in Israeli state securities, including Israel Bonds, effectively allocate public funds to sustain criminal acts,” Alex Smith, a DAWN legal advisor, said. “New York officials ... may face personal civil and criminal liability for aiding and abetting those crimes."

- Reposted by Azalea Dunn/A.Z. Dunsworth 🇯🇲 🇳🇬 🍉Look I'm not planning to go to the US anytime soon, so I got nothing to lose saying this after watching 20+ years of this crap. Every US president has harmed the Arab world, and every US election I see people trying to pick a "lesser evil" that still funds the same cages, warplanes and bombs.

- Reposted by Azalea Dunn/A.Z. Dunsworth 🇯🇲 🇳🇬 🍉If people know Ukrainians this won’t come as a surprise - all the Ukrainians I know here in my part of London support Palestine, as do many of their friends and relatives back home. They see themselves in Palestinians. It’s the Ukrainian gov who let the people down and collaborate with Israel.
