La situazione a Rafah al 29 maggio 2024: ulteriori bombardamenti israeliani (articolo da Radio Onda D’Urto)

Per il secondo giorno consecutivo i carri armati israeliani attaccano il centro di Rafah (nella foto), dozzine i feriti nella zona orientale. In fiamme diversi depositi di aiuti. I costanti bombardamenti israeliani durante la notte hanno distrutto molte case nella zona, dove migliaia di persone sono fuggite dopo l’ordine di evacuazione da parte di Israele che parla di “azione mirate nel Corridoio Filadelfia… con l’intento in ogni caso di non colpire civili non coinvolti”. In realtà, il genocidio prosegue, nell’inazione del mondo.

Nella zona di Rafah sono morti anche 3 soldati occupanti e altri 3 feriti negli scontri con la Resistenza palestinese. Il bilancio ufficiale dei soldati israeliani morti dal 7 ottobre è a quota 291. I morti palestinesi invece sono oltre 36mila, poco meno della metà minori, con 81mila feriti e almeno 10mila dispersi. Sempre più lampante che si tratta di una strage indiscriminata, che la si chiami pulizia etnica o genocidio vero e proprio, come chiedono da tempo numerosi Stati, guidati dal Sudafrica, che chiede al diritto internazionale di fermare e sanzionare i capi politici della destra israeliana.

Su questo il quotidiano inglese The Guardian denuncia le minacce di Yossi Cohen, l’ex capo del Mossad, alla Corte penale internazionale. I contatti di Cohen con l’ex procuratrice della Cpi, Fatou Bensouda, riguardano il 2021, con l’avvio dell’inchiesta culminata la scorsa settimana quando il successore di Bensouda, Karim Khan, ha annunciato la richiesta di un mandato di arresto per, tra gli altri, il premier Netanyahu. Le minacce non sono solo di natura politica, ma anche personale: “Dovresti aiutarci – diceva il Mossad alla Bensouda – e lasciare che ci prendiamo cura di te. Non vuoi immischiarti in cose che potrebbero compromettere la tua sicurezza o della tua famiglia”.

today, nov 29th, international day of solidarity with the palestinian people

TODAY November 29th, is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, and the #BDS movement is calling for an all day social media storm. Our physical and digital actions can be used together to strengthen our demands:

  • Permanent ceasefire and lifting the siege to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
  • Lawful sanctions on Israel, including a #MilitaryEmbargo.
  • Pressure on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders

Click here for prepared messages and images to use for the social media storm.

Over the last 7 weeks, millions of you have taken to the streets for the largest protests the world has seen in the last 20 years! We are grateful to each one of you who, through your voices and creative actions, have built up unprecedented grassroots power to end Israel’s genocidal war against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. Yet, Western governments are continuing to arm, fund and provide political cover for Israel’s genocide.

We must act urgently to end all state, corporate and institutional complicity with Israel’s genocidal apartheid regime. Palestinian lives and livelihoods literally depend on it. To this end, and as time has shown, BDS is the most effective form of solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle.

Today, we call for escalating worldwide peaceful mobilizations and expressions of meaningful solidarity to stop the genocide including:

  1. Whenever feasible, organizing peaceful disruptions, sit-ins, occupations, etc.
  2. Disrupting the transport of weapons, or weapon parts, to Israel, including in transit states.
  3. Pressuring parliaments and governments to cancel existing military-security contracts and agreements with Israel.
  4. Intensifying #BDS campaigns and campaigns to cut all ties to apartheid Israel and its complicit academic and cultural institutions as well as sports teams.
  5. Mobilizing your community, trade union, association, church, social network, student government/union, city council, cultural center, etc. to declare itself an Apartheid Free Zone (AFZ).
  6. Pressuring your elected officials to demand the International Criminal Court (ICC) issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. The ICC prosecutor should be replaced if he continues to drag his feet and ignore his legal obligations to stop the genocide

If not now, when?
Unite now to stop #GazaGenocide and dismantle Israeli apartheid

pushing for the international criminal court to prosecute brazil’s president

https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/protect_the_amazon_loc/

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro is a one-man environmental disaster.
He’s greenlighted illegal mining and logging in Indigenous lands, sabotaged environmental laws, and now the destruction of the Amazon has risen by more than 20% in a year — a loss equivalent to 3,000 football fields per day!

He thinks he can get away with it — but there’s a way to hold him to account. A group of brave lawyers is pushing for the International Criminal Court to prosecute Bolsonaro for his alleged attacks on the Amazon and its defenders. And whether or not it happens will come down to a decision by ICC Prosecutor, Karim Khan.

He has a reputation for being tough in his pursuit of justice, but dragging Bolsonaro to court would need a new level of courage. So let’s build a massive global call from every corner of the Earth for him to act, and when this is huge, our voices will be delivered directly to the Prosecutor’s office.
