Takk til XR - budskapet bør gå rett hjem hos Ap. Vi trenger en rettferdig plan for omstillingen fra fossilt til fornybart, så markedet ikke kaster titusenvis av oljearbeidere ut i arbeidsledighet når etterspørselen forsvinner!

”Israel has built the most efficient starvation machine you can imagine” Michael Fakhri UN special rapporteur on the right to food 4/8 2025
Ur the Guardian 4/8 2025

The UN expert who first warned that Israel was orchestrating a campaign of deliberate mass starvation in Gaza more than 500 days ago, has said that governments and corporations cannot claim to be surprised at the horror now unfolding.
"Israel has built the most efficient starvation machine you can imagine. So while it's always shocking to see people being starved, no one should act surprised. All the information has been out in the open since early 2024," Michael Fakhri, the UN special rapporteur on the right to food, told the Guardian.
"Israel is starving Gaza. It's genocide. It's a crime against humanity. It's a war crime. I have been repeating it and repeating it and repeating it, I feel like Cassandra," said Fakhri, referring to the Greek mythological figure whose warnings and predictions were ignored.

Every day, Israel deliberately massacres unarmed civilians it has deliberately starved. How is this possible? Because instead of framing Israel’s atrocities as obscene outrages demanding urgent action, the Western media has normalised Israel’s atrocities.

🚨 SUSPECTED SABOTAGE OF THE HANDALA HOURS BEFORE LAUNCH TO GAZA Urgent Call for Accountability and Safe Passage Just hours before departure, the #Handala faced two alarming incidents: a rope wrapped around the propeller and ...2/
Just hours before we were set to depart for Gaza, the 'Handala' was subjected to two dangerous incidents that may have been deliberate attempts to derail our mission and endanger lives. A full investigation is needed, but the circumstances are deeply troubling.
In the early morning of July 20, a rope was discovered tightly wrapped around the boat's propeller. This likely would not have happened through normal operation or by accident, and raises serious concerns about interference with the vessel.We sail for the children of Gaza - for families who are enduring siege, starvation, and slaughter while governments of the world participate or do nothing. We sail to break Israel's illegal blockade and deliver life-saving aid, solidarity, and hope to a people abandoned by our governments but never forgotten by us, the people, who believe in justice and will never stop fighting for it. 
We call on the international community, human rights organizations, and people of conscience everywhere to condemn these acts, demand accountability, and ensure safe passage for the 'Handala' - a civilian boat carrying medicine, baby formula, and stuffed animals for the children of Gaza.We have reason to believe these were calculated attempts to harm our crew and obstruct our mission, though we await the outcome of a full investigation. We remain undeterred. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. And we will not stop. Also on the morning of July 20, a truck arrived to deliver fresh water to the boat. However, the container was labeled sulfuric acid and in fact contained a corrosive chemical substance. A crew member was splashed on the leg and sustained chemical burns. Another crew member, upon detecting a strong chemical odour, opened the container and suffered burns to his hand.
