🧵Israel’s #impunity is fed by a series of allied countries around the world that resemble a friends with benefits relation!
Let’s start with India.
Let’s start with India.
India’s growing partnership with Israel is based upon a convergence of both security interests and ethnonational ideological perspectives and supremacist views.
The public deepening of ties took place under the ruling party of Narendra Modi's BJP because, unlike the Congress Party, it did not have the same ideological commitment to the Palestinian cause and the Arab world, and not the same concerns about the Muslim electorate in India.

1)After the people of Congo getting peace,who will be blamed for their extreme misery? Rwandans? Hello No! Did Rwandans elect Kagame? Does Rwanda have a really parliament? Aren't Rwandans suffering the same way like Congolese? Western nations will carry the blame! This is why⬇️
2)The same tactic that was used by Kagame's RPF to invade Rwanda,the same way they are using on Congo.They cry that the Tutsi are mistreated as a reason of their invasion. In Rwanda,they invaded in the form of 1959 Tutsi refugees,but it was an excuse,though Tutsi refugees existed
3)Museveni,Kagame & NRM had already committed a genocide against #Acholi in Uganda and blamed it on Obote. So when the Clinton Administration decided to back them,they knew they were backing genocidaires to invade Rwanda,meaning genocide wasn't to come as a suprise⬇️
Earlier this week, Ireland misled the UN Human Rights Committee again re symphysiotomies @UNGeneva @UNHumanRightsEU @HeleneTigroudja @MarciaVJKRAN1 @_IHREC @AmnestyIreland @ICCLtweet
Forced symphysiotomy was a policy

Symphysiotomy was not done to save lives.
Doctors' personal belief systems drove the practice.
It was done as a preferred alternative to
Caesarean section which led to birth control which was prohibited by Rome

The surgery was done for preference in mid labour
Doctors relied on the downward pressure of the head to further open the severed symphysis. Vaginal birth was enforced, despite her partially collapsed pelvis.

@Travellight_, @LostWithPurpose, were invited to Islamabad Tourism Summit . @Dawn images.dawn.com/news/1182267. They have been made in charge of 🇵🇰Pakistan PR to the attention
of western holiday makers. In Islamabad, these influencers were used to boost an international attractive image of the country 🇵🇰. It was a strong evidence of the government commitment to this foreign tourism strategy. However, such an impulse is facing resistance,
Despite the fact that the #BICI report documented that people were killed under #torture in #Bahrain, the culture of #impunity continues, also because the international community did not hold the regime to account #FreeBahrainiPrisoners
"At approximately 10:30 on 3 April, Mr Hasan Jassim Mohamed Maki was pronounced dead. @MSF and @Amnesty examined the body and confirmed to the family that the deceased had been attacked with sharp objects.”

In October 2019, #Iraq protested against the gov, political parties, that had failed to build a state for the Iraqi people. Unemployment in Iraq is more than 40% and the poverty rate has reached more than 31%, according to MOP , due to massive corruption,

and according to the recent statement of the @BarhamSalih , there are a thousand billion dollars looted. In this country, when the people came out to demonstrate against the government and militias, they stood against the Iraqi people with the utmost repression.
More than 800 people were killed in the protests, and more than 20,000 people were injured. After the resignation of @IraqiGovt headed by @AdilAbdAlMahdi and @MAKadhimi became prime minister, the Iraqis waited for Al-Kazemi to do something for them,
1| Americans should contemplate long and hard why one of Trump's most burning tasks, right before he leaves office, is the targeting of a #HumanRights movement lead by an #indigenous people on the other side of the globe 👇

"This is simply the latest attack from a US government determined to undermine the universality of human rights and the global fight against racism and discrimination, including antisemitism."

1. Last September,I gave evidence as a witness of fact in the Julian #Assange #ExtraditionHearing, and I reconstructed, among other things, how the US #Cables allow to reveal what happened behind the scene in the #extraordinaryRendition of the Milan cleric, #AbuOmar
2. the US diplomacy #cables revealed by #WikiLeaks allow to expose how the US put pressure on Italian politicians,both conservative and progressive,to grant #impunity to 26 US nationals, almost all of them, #CIA agents involved in the #extraordinaryRendition of #AbuOmar
3. we Italian journalists could guess such pressures by the US on our politics, however, without #WikiLeaks' cables, we would have never ever been able to get evidence. It was amazing when I got access to the #WikiLeaks cables and found such evidence: a journalist's dream

The fastest route to the destruction of the social fabric of Nigeria is the Culture of Impunity.
What is Impunity?
It is the “exemption from punishment or freedom from the injurious consequences of an action.”
Imagine then how horrible it is for such thing to become a Culture.

Anything that attains the height of a Culture for any society of people never happens overnight. It takes a gradual condoning of a word, thought, mindset, behavior and such like, by first a few who with the leverage of influence pull in others to their side and Culture happens.
Name every crime or misdemeanor that has become the Norm and gained “wide acceptance” in Nigeria and we can tell for a Fact that it did not just suddenly attain that status. It happened initially once, was ignored, a few others joined and did it, ignored and many others repeated.
Civilians in the #Sahel are increasingly threatened not only by radical armed actors and ethnic self-defence groups but similarly by national armed forces in the name of #counterterrorism. Thread on a few recent publications on #Mali #Niger #Burkina:

Day 3 - last day of #ICJ provisional measures hearings, #TheGambia v #Myanmar #GenocideConvention #Rohingya. First up, #TheGambia Reichler: Myanmar not denied UN #FFM conclusion of “inference of genocidal intent” or the 7 indicators; 2019 report para 224 - extreme brutality;
Quoted ASSK admission of #IHL violations; ignoring of #sexual violence; #hate narratives - commander in chief Min Aung Hlaing #Facebook page quoted; discriminatory policies including #citizenship law & NVC process; govt tolerance of hate; failure to investigate prosecute
This last one was the only point disputed by Myanmar - “what state is she talking about?” - military justice system must investigate & prosecute - difficulties admitted by ASSK; how can the #Tatmadaw hold itself accountable when top 6 commanders recommend for prosecution?
#Gambia takes on #Myanmar in the #Hague @CIJ_ICJ on day 1 of 3, with statements accusing nation of #Genocide against #Rohingyas & on same day, the #US imposed #sanctions on 4 high-ranking #military personnel including the chief usnews.com/news/world/art… treasury.gov/resource-cente…
#US #Treasury explains its actions to impose additional #sanctions on selected #Myanmar #military leaders because the "military have committed serious #HumanRights #abuse" against #ethnic communities including those in #Rakhine #Kachin #Shan home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
#US Treasury adds "such #abuses and the continuing #impunity must stop" to enable nation to transition to a more secure, democratic, peaceful nation. Notes that "#HumanRights #abuse undermines the ability to realize the vision for a free & open #IndoPacific" shared with #ASEAN

Reason #1: Erwin #Sperisen, former chief of police of #Guatemala, will have to serve his 15-year prison sentence for complicity in 7 cases of #extrajudicialexecutions of prisoners. So has decided #Switzerland’s Supreme Court (26 Nov.) trialinternational.org/latest-post/sw…
2. #DRC: three former militiamen, including the infamous warlord Kokodikoko, have been sentenced for #CrimesAgainstHumanity to between 15 years and life in prison. Hundreds of victims have been awarded reparations (19 Nov.) trialinternational.org/latest-post/sh…
SARS officers in Edo State are mounting roadblocks and harassing road users under the guise of recovering stolen vehicles. Is this what Special units are deployed for? What is the work of the @PoliceNG? I asked them if there’s any report of a stolen vehicle in the area...
...that matched the description of the vehicle of the driver they were harassing but they allege I was teaching them their job. I asked if their job entails hanging about and indiscriminately accusing road users of theft of their vehicles? One of them said that’s what they do.
To put this in the right perspective. Nigeria’s SWAT team is hanging around on the highway seeking whom to victimize despite not having any distress call they are responding to. This explains the tales of woe of commuters in that state due to extortion & abduction of the innocent
Reckoning with Jeffrey Epstein, @megangarber writes, also demands reckoning with the pop culture that surrounded him: theatlantic.com/entertainment/… "One more shameful truth Jeffrey "#Epstein symbolized: a culture that continues to write girls out of its stories" #OpDeathEaters
@megangarber “women who went to Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion as girls tend to divide their lives into two parts: life before Jeffrey & life after Jeffrey,” Brown noted.
“He ruined my life and a lot of girls’ lives,” said Michelle Licata, another of #Epstein’s alleged victims." #OpDeathEaters

@megangarber "There is no such thing as an “underage woman.” Underage women are girls. But the mistake, repeated several times since July, has been in its own way revealing." In our culture, even the word "girls" doesn't convey the truth that these are CHILDREN #OpDeathEaters

Hello @RusEmbUSA - Representative of the "cryptic" organisation #CIJA here as you can see in my profile. Glad to see you following coverage of the mounting evidence against the #SyrianRegime atrocities against its own people. @JomanaCNN @ABarnardNYT
The "extensive archive of documents" amounts to 800,000 original hard copies spanning years of Syrian military and intelligence operations to suppress, detain and torture untold thousands of men women and children. #Justice4Syria
You will remember from the good old days of #ICTY trials of our mutual "friends" #Mladic and #Karadzic that documents are the king and queen of evidence. Unshakable in the courtroom and impossible to fake en masse bit.ly/2EMHVR8

about how gov’t works. We have never had a president who raises profound questions about his basic competence & his psychological capacity to take on the most challenging political office in the world. Yet if Trump is both a threat 2 our democracy and a product of its weaknesses,

2. The Arabic-speaking countries, for the most part, even if they don't depend on mineral exports, are dependent on similar relationships, often mediated through the wealth on neighboring raw materials-producing nations or security arrangements made to protect industrialized
nations' interests in the mineral-exporting nations or in the Zionist settler-colonialist project (Egypt. Jordan).
