SUBMIT EVIDENCE OF ISRAELI WAR CRIMES TO ICC
justiceforall.org/icc-submissi…

The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has opened a digital platform to enable people to submit complaints online to the ICC with the option to add pictures and videos that show the crimes of the Israeli occupiers against them for the court to consider them and to take a stance against Israel. Those with information relevant to current events in Israel and Palestine are asked to provide submissions. Information submitted under this portal should relate to alleged crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC, namely War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity, Genocide, or Aggression.

Anyone can submit information through the portal. You do not necessarily need to be a victim or witness of the alleged crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC listed above. Information can also be submitted collectively or through an organization (for example an NGO, your masjid, a church), as long as there is an identifiable sender.

"For me, the minimum line is always rooted in human rights. If an institution can’t affirm that we are all deserving of clean water, food, and dignity, and cannot condemn the indiscriminate bombing of civilians and civilian infrastructure, then what “cultural” role do they have? Culture is a celebration of people. It depends on people. What is a love of culture without a love of people?"

~Priscilla Wathington, Palestinian Poets on the Role of Literature in Fighting Genocide

"Read, quote, teach, share the words of living Palestinians. Withdraw from places that benefit from or take a studied and calculated indifference to our spectacular annihilation. Do what Palestinians ask you to; stop trying to be clever or develop your own opinions about something you have spent no time studying, something you have no material stake in. If you have a material stake in Palestinian freedom: by all means speak and act clearly from that, broadcast that clarity wide and loud and elaborate it deeply. Believe in the meaning of your own life without thinking you must be a genius to matter—this is an imperial lie, a patriarchal lie, a capitalist lie, an ableist lie, a white supremacist lie, and only those who wish to support those violences benefit from you believing you have no power."

"The indignities threaten to overwhelm. But for those in solidarity with the Palestinian people, there is no time for despair. We owe it to every martyr to fight, we have obligations, we have made commitments. When everything seems designed to generate resignation, to produce acquiescence, those commitments are life-giving, and can see us through till the end. That end may be abrupt, it might be quiet or hard, but refusal is a sign of our aliveness. When a nihilism beckons that cannot be rejected wholesale, we must ask it to be fleeting, and let the productive work set us on a path to something different."

“Sexual assault” as propaganda to facilitate /Genocide in Gaza"الاعتداء الجنسي" بروباغندا لمواصلة إبادة غزة

“Sexual assault” as propaganda to facilitate Genocide in Gaza.

The policy of perpetually creating/fabricating pretexts for enabling the genocidal war against Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip by US President Joe Biden and his administration has been unveiled. It is evidently and manifestly functional to masquerade the massacres committed by the Israeli Occupation war machine. Over 16 thousand Palestinians, most of whom are women and children, have been killed, 40 thousand civilians were injured, and more than 1.7 million Palestinians were displaced from their homes by the effect of this propaganda campaign.

Within their narration to justify the genocide, the US administration adopted, via recitations of its president, the allegations promoted by the Israeli occupation’s propaganda machine regarding the occurrence of “sexual assaults” against Israeli female hostages in the Gaza Strip. No credible evidence or reports from independent international investigative bodies in this regard was provided. Such conduct in endorsing unfounded allegations without due diligence serves as a deliberate distortion of the struggle of the Palestinian people for liberation and their legitimate resistance against an occupying colonial entity. We also note that all previous fallacious allegations, such as the killing of children and burning of civilians/ SETTLERS, were later retracted/negated/denied by the very entities that espoused them.

The US-backed Israeli occupation government is obstructing the entry of any international missions into the Gaza Strip to investigate the horrific crimes committed against the Palestinian people-children, women, and men. It also refuses to cooperate with specialized international bodies to investigate allegations of sexual assault. We call for deploying investigative teams affiliated with credible international institutions that advocate for women to investigate the crimes of the occupation in the Gaza Strip and enquire into/examine/probe the allegations that are being weaponized to justify genocide against the Palestinian people.
We stress that the Palestinian people, throughout their long history of struggle for freedom, have not engendered such heinous acts characterising the Zionist movement since its early attacks on Palestinian villages in 1948 until today. Israeli sexual and physical assaults against Palestinian women are constantly confirmed through Palestinian female prisoners’ testimonies and current accounts of women in Gaza. We demand the opening of an independent international investigation to thoroughly examine and document these testimonies.
The use of sexual violence as a weapon of war caused real suffering for thousands of women around the world. Colonial powers have used these weapons throughout their history, and we refuse to see them exploited today in the propaganda campaign for genocide.

Ceasefire Now.
Down with the killing machine and its propaganda
Freedom for Palestine. Freedom for Palestinian women.

TELL CONGRESS NO MORE FUNDS FOR GENOCIDE!

Biden is pushing a $14 billion military aid package to support Israel’s continued massacres and ethnic cleansing in Gaza – and Congress could be voting on this arms package as soon as this week.

Millions of people across the country are demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and calling for an end to Israel's brutal occupation. We need our members of Congress to listen and take action.

"So far, since October 7, when Israel launched its genocidal war in Gaza, Israeli forces have killed more than 239 Palestinians, injured more than 3000 others, and detained at least 3,160 in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, according to Palestinian official statistics. In Gaza, the death toll stands at an estimated 15,000 and over 33,000 injured."

Mosab Abu Toha, award-winning poet from Gaza, has been kidnapped by Israel forces.

Mosab and his family were asked by the State Dept. to evacuate to Rafah Crossing – his 3-year-old son is a U.S. citizen born in Boston. He was snatched by Israeli forces while fleeing Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

It is no surprise that Israel is targeting those who bear witness - poets, journalists, artists.

We are all responsible for the freedom of Palestinians. We will not be silent until there is justice, for Mosab and for all Palestinians. AMosab has a 3 year old son who is an American citizen born in Boston, MA, so Massacusetts Senators and Representatives have an obligation to fight for his family’s wellbeing that we can demand through a collective push for phone calls.

Join us on Zoom Tuesday, 11/21 12-12:30pm ET / 9-9:30am PT to demand freedom for Mosab, a ceasefire now, and the end to U.S. support for Israel’s ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

"Note— I wrote this article on October 24th for an international news media brand after an editor reached out asking for me to write a call to queer people to be in solidarity with Palestine. After receiving backlash for publishing their Pro-Palestinian pieces, the magazine decided that they weren’t going to publish the piece. [...]

I’m going to publish the piece here, after the ordeal. I’ve been extremely disappointed with the way major Queer and Gay newspapers haven’t been covering what is happening in Palestine, due to pink-washing campaigns."

On Solidarity: A Boston Review Launch Event
Tue Nov 21, 2023 7:00 PM - Tue Nov 28, 2023 8:30 PM EST
Online, YouTube

On Solidarity clarifies a key idea in struggles for a more just world. What does solidarity mean, and how can diverse movements build enough of it to change society?

Organizer and political theorist Mie Inouye will be joined by contributors Charisse Burden-Stelly and Nathan R. DuFord for a forum on obstacles to collective action today. Rejecting the language of “allyship” and the politics of deference, On Solidarity makes the case for maintaining solidarity through conflict in durable institutions over time, none of which is possible without the hard work of good organizing.
