Stop those genocidal maniacs!
Trump said Iran ‘civilisation will die’ tonight. Do you realise what is happening? The lunatic is threatening an entire country!!
Where is the UN 🇺🇳,world leaders & co?!
We must completely break away from the US, block all sales of weapons and ensure they stop their wars!
"It will take 286 years to ensure that all women & girls have equal legal protection, economic participation & bodily autonomy. Women enjoy just 64% of the legal rights of men, across business, family, mobility, money, property, retirement, safety & work" lens.civicus.org/internationa...
Yesterday was April Fool's Day. Nominations closed for UN 🇺🇳 Secretary-General. The joke writes itself. open.substack.com/pub/theunity...
In 80 years, the #UN has never had a woman Secretary-General. The selection process is more opaque than elections in dictatorships. A rapist & war criminals holds veto power over the outcome. Two years ago I decided to fight this. I'm not stopping: open.substack.com/pub/theunity...
Let's goooo
To the EU and its member states: shame on you, shame on all of us.
But you can act! You can still sign a European Citizens’ Initiative to suspend the EU-Israel trade agreement 🖊️ citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/...
This is not inevitable.
If our countries grow a backbone and fulfil their obligations, they’ll impose sanctions, arms embargoes, boycotts, suspend trade agreements, and seek justice. Their weak statements of condemnation have never worked. We need action.

One set of cruel laws for one ethnic group, another for the other = #apartheid
But it gets worse. The conviction rate for Palestinians in those courts is 96%, “based largely on 'confessions' extracted under duress and torture during interrogations” (@btselem )

The death penalty is always inhuman. Always. Israel has managed to make it even worse by instructing military courts to impose the death penalty on #Palestinians for killing Israelis, while the same penalty doesn’t apply to Israelis convicted of killing Palestinians.

Hey! Who is on Upscrolled ? I just created a profile (@colombecs) and looking for people to follow
Is Spain the only western country with a backbone, willing to defend basic human values?
Previously, the government has been outspoken against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, approved the enshrinement in law of a total arms embargo on Israel, withdrew its ambassador to Israel and more
Has anyone compiled a list of all the experts, organisations, bodies etc that have declared Israel's genocide a genocide?
I can't keep on having the same arguments with people who refuse to acknowledge this basic truth and want to be able to send this list of resources forward.
And the United States, Israel, and Argentina voted against. Shame on them all!
The #UnitedNations is choosing its next Secretary-General right now. Not through an election. Through a backroom deal. 5 countries hold a veto. They agree on ONE name. The world rubber-stamps it. I'm running to expose this: atlasmovement.org/unite4survival
NEW: UN Security Council resolution on new framework to deal with impasse around Morocco’s claims to Western Sahara does not ensure that the right to self-determination for the territory’s peoples is upheld and is consistent with international law

"Trump believes that brute force can reverse the decline of US power, that this will make the world fear Washington, restoring authority. Instead, it is fuelling anger and resentment on a global scale." - @owenjones.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Only this month,
• Israel murdered over 1000 people in #Lebanon, including 40 medical workers.
• “It has forced the mass displacement of a 1/4 of Lebanon’s population and targeted 14% of the country with expulsion orders.”
It now said it has only just begun!
Tell me honestly, do you even think of the UN 🇺🇳 when you read about the biggest crises of our times?
Spoiler alert: it won’t work, no one will believe you!
The United Nations 🇺🇳 is made of 193 countries, yet 5 can veto action on anything.
This is not only unfair, creates a system of 1st and 2nd class countries, but also means that major crises go unanswered.
“Yesterday’s world is a world without rules. The dilemma is not the old order vs a new order, but international order vs international disorder, which once led us to 2 world wars. The world is changing, but the values & principles of the European Union should not change"

It’s the same playbook deployed over and over again. It’s past time to impose sanctions & arms embargoes!
I’m sick of selective feminism. Too many only stand in solidarity based on who the aggressor is. Standing with women means their right to live free of genocide, of oppression, of violence. Everywhere. All the time.
And that’s just the pre-requirement. She must be a feminist, anti-genocide, anti-imperialism and willing to go against superpowers to change the UN and the world.

Those are portraits of previous UN Chiefs. Do you see the problem? No, I’m not talking about me at the end, but what it represents ⤵️
80 years of United Nations, 80 years of men at its helm. Practice what you preach: the next UN chief must be a woman.
