This is good. The UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories seems to have decided that a country that has been attacked & occupied by a far right nuclear power that is carrying out genocide should be prevented from defending themselves. Interesting. unwatch.org/russian-prop...

Ukraine is completely magical. Sviatohirsk looks like something out of Lord of the rings. It’s a thousand years old and pre-dates Russia. Catherine the II tried to shut it down because russia has always been at war with Christianity.

⭕️ The Palestinian NGO Network reports over 19,000 children have been killed and more than 28,000 injured in Gaza since October 7, 2023, with hundreds of schools, kindergartens, and childhood centers destroyed. It also documents 56,000 orphaned children who lost one or both parents. 

The NGO Network marked World Children’s Day by urging the UN and human rights groups to act immediately to protect Palestinian children, especially in Gaza. 

The group says Israeli forces are subjecting children to systematic violations, including a deliberate policy of genocide and the detention of hundreds of minors. It calls for enforcing international law, holding Israeli leaders accountable, securing medical care, allowing medicine and food into Gaza, and ensuring children are included in all relief and recovery plans.

Politics can be complex, but every so often it’s pretty easy to tell which side of history you’re on. For example, if you require the police to arrest elderly ladies for peacefully protesting against genocide, that’ll probably be the wrong side.
