As the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, India's healthcare system struggled to cope with the spread. Still, Modi's government ordered 16,479 Israeli Negev machine guns, worth $116 million.
Modi visited apartheid Israel in 2017. The @NYtimes reported that during this visit the far-right Indian PM procured the @NSOgroup#Pegasus software used to hack into the personal accounts of around 300 Indians, including activists, journalists & opposition leaders.
India works with apartheid Israel to co-produce weapons.
Since 2021, Modi’s far-right regime has ordered Skystriker drones - made by Israeli arms company @elbitsystems and tested on Palestinians. They will now be built jointly with India's Adani-owned Alpha Design Technologies.
Under a far-right government led by Modi, India has become Israel's partner in apartheid.
Israel field-tests its tools of repression against Indigenous Palestinians & then exports them worldwide. We call for an immediate #MilitaryEmbargo on Israel now!
Journalist syndicates, unions and federations should:
- End ties with complicit Israeli institutions.
- Pledge to refuse junkets to Israel funded by the Israeli government, complicit Israeli institutions and Israel lobby groups.
- Support journalists who refuse to cover assignments in Israel on ethical grounds.
- Support the International Federation of Journalists @IFJGlobal's case before the @IntlCrimCourt on Israel’s systematic targeting of Palestinian journalists.
Earlier this week on #PressFreedomDay2022, @mbachelet, the @UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights, condemned the use of Israeli NSOGroup's spyware #Pegasus against journalists worldwide as "an affront to privacy and press freedom."
Last year, @FbdnStories denounced the use of Israeli spyware Pegasus against more than 180 journalists in 20 countries around the world. #BanCyberSurveillance
Pegasus was created by the Israeli company @NSOgroup. The Israeli government, which sponsors, licenses, regulates, and supports NSO, considers the company’s weapons-grade spyware “a crucial component of its foreign policy and national security.”
Former Honduran President, Juan Hernández, “poster boy” of Israeli diplomacy, is charged with sponsoring a “corrupt & violent drug-trafficking conspiracy.”
🧵Let's explore the deadly links between Hernández’s regime and apartheid Israel.
Apartheid Israel propped up Hernández's ruthless regime with weapons, military training & access to the Trump White House. In return, Honduras voted against Palestinian rights at the @UN & agreed to move its embassy to occupied Jerusalem.
Israeli-armed Honduran forces were implicated in the “torture, rape, … kidnappings & killings of journalists, students, opposition activists, … activists on behalf of farmers’ rights, homeless rights, & indigenous communities’ rights.”
JNF is directly involved in apartheid Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Bedouin-Palestinians, destroying livelihoods under the guise of 'planting trees'.
Palestinians in Al-Naqab peacefully resist Israel’s forced displacement & dispossession.
We commemorate 34 years since the beginning of the 1st Intifada when Palestinians rose up in unity against Israel's brutal occupation.
A collective and inclusive movement spread from Gaza across historic Palestine calling for boycotts & strikes against Israel's colonial regime.
From 1987 - 1993 Palestinians rose up in their masses to end apartheid Israel's illegal occupation. They insisted on the right of return for Palestinian refugees, ethnically cleansed during the Nakba, and the right to build a free and democratic society.
The 1st Intifada was met with brutally violent Israeli repression. PM Rabin instructed his army to “break the bones” of Palestinian youth. More than 1,300 Palestinians were murdered, 120,000+ were injured, and some 600,000 were imprisoned by Israel's apartheid forces.
As a new variant of Covid-19 threatens us all, Israel plans to demolish the only Palestinian vaccine & PCR testing centre in illegally occupied E. Jerusalem.
Throughout the pandemic, Israel has deliberately targeted our healthcare systems, entrenching its #MedicalApartheid.

Apartheid Israel's brutal 11-day bombardment of Gaza in May partially destroyed 84 healthcare facilities, including hospitals, medical centres, pharmacies & Covid-19 testing laboratories: mezan.org/en/uploads/fil…
With a vaccine rollout underway, Israel refused to provide vaccines for 4.5M Palestinians living under its military occupation. Instead, Israel gave vaccines to countries that pledged to move diplomatic missions to occupied Jerusalem. nyti.ms/3rVXXxV
