UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese calls Israel’s strikes on Gaza ‘acceleration of genocide’

 
“We have failed to prevent genocide.”

UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese called Israel’s continued bombardment of Gaza an “acceleration of genocide”, in an interview with Channel 4 News on Tuesday.

She also urged for the discussion on the events in Gaza to be held in the framework of international law, rather than based on what Israel is saying as she emphasised how two of its leaders are “indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity” by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Israel killed more than 400 Palestinians, including over 100 children, in one of the bloodiest bombardments of the Gaza Strip early on Tuesday, unilaterally ending its ceasefire with Hamas. Since Tuesday, more than 710 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed according to the Palestinian health ministry.

Israel Shipped in Holidaymakers – Greece Shipped Them Out Again

KernowDamo   We'll fight them on the beaches took on new meaning as an Israeli cruise ship got sent packing in the latest Greek port stand-off!   Earlier this week, the Aegean island of Syros became an unexpected front line in the global movement against Israel’s war on Gaza. A cruise ship, the Crown Iris, carrying approximately 1,600 Israeli tourists, approached the island’s main port expecting a typical summer welcome. Instead, hundreds of Greek islanders lined the waterfront with banners, Palestinian flags, and chants of defiance. “Stop the Genocide” echoed across the harbour as a human blockade formed, preventing passengers from disembarking. After hours of tense standoff, the ship was forced to change course and head toward Cyprus instead, its tourists trapped aboard as unwilling symbols of growing European outrage against Israel’s military campaign. This was no spontaneous protest, it was an organised act of solidarity, a statement that business-as-usual tourism, even on...

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip. It is not a threat. It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people. Our demands on this shameful government remain the same: end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions, and stop the genocide, now. — Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) July 29, 2025
