on more than one occasion if she did not close the files of investigations into committing war crimes against Israel -

🇦🇺 Australia Must Sanction Israel for Gaza Atrocities, Says MSF Chief 🚨

UK Guardian |

Dr. Christos Christou, president of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), demands Australia impose sanctions on Israel for its brutal actions in Gaza.

Speaking at the National Press Club, Christou highlighted the catastrophic situation: "Israel is conducting an indiscriminate and disproportionate military campaign and pursuing a policy of deliberate deprivation."

Key Points:
• Humanitarian Crisis: Gaza's health system has collapsed. MSF operates in dire conditions, with facilities reduced to "a small clinic in a shed."

• Indiscriminate Bombings: Israel’s airstrikes on Rafah, which killed 45 displaced persons, show there is "nowhere safe in Gaza."

• Urgent Sanctions Needed: Christou calls on Australia to apply sanctions against Israel for ignoring UN Security Council resolutions.

• Civilian Impact: The continued Israeli offensive and blockade cause immense suffering. Christou is “horrified” by the level of devastation and “complete disregard for life.”

Quote:
"I have run out of words to describe the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza."

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention:

The Lemkin Institute has had it with the cynical lies and propaganda from Israel and the USA. One can have different views about the definition of genocide, but one may not use definitional disputes to deny genocide. If a genocide may be occurring, every nation is compelled by customary law to try to stop it.

Let us be clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The US is complicit in genocide. These are not political statements. They are statements that are made from knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, you do not need a PhD, a law degree, or an X-ray vision to see the genocidal dimensions of Israel’s carnage in Gaza. It is clear in the behavior of the state and its military, on full display in yesterday’s horrific bombardment of a Rafah camp.

But even if there were legitimate doubts about Israel’s genocide, there is no doubt that Israel is committing atrocity crimes of the most barbaric kind. Israel must be stopped. Israel must be stopped now.

We are disgusted by Western leaders, especially in the USA, Germany, and the UK. They have demonstrated not only that they don’t care one bit about genocide prevention and human rights, but also that they are willing to allow an ally to commit atrocity crimes while they offer material and diplomatic support. It is reprehensible and the individuals involved in this gaslighting campaign should be deeply ashamed. They should also be put on trial.

Humanity has a choice: Either we decide that our children can all be killed whenever a superior force alleges that “terrorists” are among us, or we decide that under no circumstances will we allow these superior forces to lay waste to our world any longer.

We each must choose and act accordingly. The watershed moment is now.
