THE UNITED NATIONS ARE complicit in genocide by permitting “surging humanitarian aid” to be linked to the US led “negotiations”

Ceasefire in Rafah is ordered by the ICJ
Opening all crossings and surging aid is ordered by ICJ

For weeks since the orders Israel has
—committed massacres in Rafah and throughout Gaza
—Illegally seized and closed Rafah Crossing
—Prevented most aid from arriving so that Famine has expanded, deaths from injuries increased etc
—and more

UN HANDS ARE FURTHER DIRTIED BY PASSING THE US PLAN FOR CEASEFIRE AND NOT DEMANDING THE IMMEDIATE COMPLIANCE OF ISRAEL

Instead The criminally liable Israeli partner lies and links its plans to control the “next day” and deny Palestinian Self-Determination to the plan…all while blaming Hamas and falsely claiming Israel supports a ceasefire.

✅UN ENFORCE ICJ RULING …IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE
✅SEND PROTECTIVE FORCE TO ENFORCE
✅BEGIN INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL ON WAR CRIMES
✅LIFT THE BLOCKADE AND REMOVE ISRAEL FROM ILLEGAL CONTROL OVER GAZA. UN must take control of Rafah and all aid delivery

🇵🇸Campaign to ENACT the Genocide Convention 🇵🇸🧵
Of River Valley Branch Code Pink —
Program as of 5/31/2024

🧵1/n Description of The Campaign To ENACT The Genocide Convention and River Valley Code Pink's Position on Next Steps, and Who We

Note: Campaign in transition from INVOKE The genocide convention TO ENACT The Genocide Convention.

The Campaign To Invoke The Genocide Convention of River Valley Code Pink, has been dedicated to ending genocide in Gaza and upholding the rights of the Palestinian people and their liberation movement, while fostering a caring and supportive community among our members. Our action plan, steadfast in the face of varying outcomes at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) or any imperialist legal institutions includes:

1. Advocating for an immediate ceasefire by Israel and its allies, and cessation of military supplies to Israel until hostilities end completely

2. Calling on UN States supportive of Palestinian Independence and Self-Determination to initiate a Uniting for Peace Resolution, leading to the establishment of a UN Protective Force.(see example below) and lifting the illegal Seige on Gaza The key point is the UN cannot leave the blockade in place and under Israeli control and make more than a dent in the genocide and catastrophic conditions left by Israel. The blockade and Occupation are the conditions at the root of hostilities and injustice

3. Urging all states to sever diplomatic ties and trade agreements with Israel and impose sanctions on Israel until it ends its genocidal campaigns and fully withdraws from Gaza and the Occupied Territories.

4.Calling for release of all Palestinian Prisoners and detainees held by Israel in exchange for all held by Palestine,

5.Insisting on a long term solution chosen by the Palestinian people and their united representative factions, advocating for an end to the siege and occupation of Palestinian lands, a fully sovereign Palestinian State with East Jerusalem as its capital, and enforcing relevant UN resolutions, including the Palestinian Right to Return.

6. Establishing a special UN Tribunal empowered to quickly investigate war crimes and human rights abuses in occupied territories and prosecute crimes

7. Supporting the Palestinian Liberation movement and the right to resist colonial oppression -in all its forms-(peaceful and armed ) and factions. Self-Determination means the people’s movement only ones who have a right to determine the acceptable solutions and who will govern how it will be decided and so forth.

🧵2/n. Description of The Campaign To ENACT The Genocide Convention and River Valley Code Pink's Position on Next Steps, and Who We

In Addition to the points above , our organization is committed to:

- Building a supportive community that aids members in navigating the personal, emotional, and practical challenges of living actively and consciously during a genocide.

- Addressing specific security and safety concerns of our members, ensuring both online and COVID-safe live gatherings.

- Encouraging each member to express their unique political voice and style, fostering creativity and an international perspective and membership , while being deeply rooted in Western Massachusetts, USA.

- Maintaining a focus on Palestinian, Arab, MENA and indigenous voices in the AntiWar Movement and Palestinian Solidarity Work, and ensuring that MENA, Indigenous, and BIPOC voices lead on work related to public health, civil rights, and other justice issues.

The proposed UN Protective Force is a realistic option to achieve the resolution of the current situation and the site/block-aid which set the stage for it. Its role in our strategy, is to have UN create a force to be tasked with managing crossings, facilitating medical care, and ensuring safe passage, among other critical roles. Of course, we are flexible in supporting alternatives which may arise that would achieve true short and long term relief for the people of Gaza -removing US and Israel as decision makers-and supporting Palestinian Self-determination.

Our campaign is not just about political activism; it's about creating a nurturing and supportive environment for our members to thrive as they find their unique voice way to contribute effectively to our collective goals. We recognize that our strength lies in our being rooted in communities and our commitment to justice and peace.

🧵♦️1/5. The Israeli occupation's targeting of a displacement center in Rafah was an unimaginable catastrophe that has become a stark reality, exacerbated by the fact that not a single hospital in Rafah is fully functional due to Israel's relentless attacks.

In shock at the overwhelming casualties, the Rafah Municipality appealed to Egyptian authorities to provide ambulances and facilitate the transfer of the injured to hospitals in El Arish, Egypt.

🧵1/3 Well this is weird: 👇🏼 the linked article from an Arabic Version (Al-Alaraby ) of The New Arab Article

1. Egypt says that the US and Egypt agreed to a months long ceasefire to allow evacuation of foreigners and getting in needed aid

2. The US approved the ground invasion of Rafah exchange for Israel refraining from a large scale retaliation against Iran

3. Israel has denied both of the above!

4.Also describes Egypts preparations for the invasion

Translations below :

Egyptian sources familiar with Cairo’s movements regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip revealed “full readiness and readiness of the agencies and forces present in North Sinai, and along the 14-kilometre border strip with the Gaza Strip, as part of a plan to deal with the scenario of preparation for the repeated Israeli announcement of an invasion of the city of Rafah

According to an Egyptian source, “the increase in readiness, which has increased in pace since last Monday evening, came after contacts from the Israeli side, linked to the occupation government beginning preparations for the military operation in the far south of the Gaza Strip, which (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu describes as the last stronghold of the Hamas movement.” According to his claim, there are four brigades of the movement’s military wing.”

Egyptian source: The American administration showed acceptance of the occupation’s plan regarding the operation in Rafah in exchange for not carrying out a large-scale attack against Iran.

The source pointed out that “the occupation army launched air strikes on several areas adjacent to the border strip between the Gaza Strip and Egypt,” pointing out that “the relevant officials in Egypt were notified before carrying out some of those strikes, which came in the Philadelphia axis on an empty plot of land adjacent to the border with Egypt.” “Allegedly, it is being used to smuggle weapons to Hamas.” He explained that Cairo "found itself forced to deal on the ground with the anticipated military operation, in order to mitigate the severity of its repercussions, in light of the new understandings between the American administration and the occupation government ."

America accepts the operation in Rafah
He pointed out that "the American administration showed acceptance of the plan previously presented by the occupation government regarding the military operation in Rafah in exchange for not carrying out a large-scale attack against Iran . " He pointed out that "the Israeli plan relies on the method of displacement, by dividing Rafah into numbered squares, so that one square after another is targeted, prompting those in it to move away from it, specifically towards Khan Yunis and the Al-Mawasi area." The source pointed out that "as part of the Egyptian preparations in this context, there was an increase in the capacity of the camps in the city of Khan Yunis, which is managed by the Egyptian Red Crescent, and an increase in the amounts of aid entering them in coordination with the Israeli side."

2/3 🧵Egypt/US Ceasefire Agreement? US/Israel deal to green light Rafah Invasion and Bears…Oh My

Continued

The Egyptian Red Crescent has established two camps to accommodate the displaced in Khan Yunis since last January. The first camp accommodates seven thousand displaced people, while the second accommodates four thousand, at a time when the relevant Egyptian authorities began working on preparing a third camp. Last Monday, Israeli Security Minister Yoav Galant held a meeting about preparations to launch the military operation to invade Rafah. The ministry stated, in a statement, that “during the meeting, Gallant discussed with the participants a number of measures that must be taken as part of the preparations for the operation in Rafah.”

On the other hand, Western diplomatic sources in Cairo, familiar with international communications regarding the release of Israeli prisoners held by resistance factions in the Gaza Strip, suggested that “talk about a broad Israeli military action against Iran will decline, after the attack launched by Tehran via drones and ballistic missiles.” In the interest of the upcoming military operation in Rafah.”
Facilities to attack Rafah

A prominent Western diplomat told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, “Netanyahu was able, through political maneuvering, to obtain American facilities for the military operation in Rafah, which was not welcomed by the United States at this time, in exchange for retreating from carrying out a large-scale military operation against Iran.” "In response to her latest attack." He considered that "talking about an Israeli response to Iran, contrary to the desire of the American administration, was not realistic, in light of Tel Aviv's conviction that the United States had the largest role in repelling the Iranian attack and its failure."

Professor of Public International Law, Dr. Ayman Salama, confirmed that “the Israeli occupation’s claims and lies that Egypt supplies the Palestinian factions with weapons and ammunition through the Philadelphia axis are nothing but an attempt to justify its miserable failure before the world.” Salama told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, “Egypt is a sovereign state, and will not accept any changes in Israel’s military presence in the region, without its approval, especially since the international conventions linking Egypt and the Israeli occupation, including the peace treaty that was signed in 1979, stipulate "There is not a large number of forces on both sides."

Samir Ragheb: Egypt seeks, through negotiations, to postpone or cancel the Rafah operation
He explained that "Egypt's approval is required before any amendment to the actual military situation, and that Israel will not be able to establish buffer zones on the Egyptian-Israeli border or amend the security annex to the peace treaty between the two countries under the pretext of the urgent need for security in cases of direct threats, such as the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians." Salama said, “The Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty itself includes what is called the security annex, which regulates the presence of forces and the type of their armament in the three areas (A), (B), and (C) in Egyptian territory in the Sinai Peninsula, and (D), inside Israel.” ". He pointed out that "Egypt could suspend certain provisions in the treaty in response to possible Israeli actions, but it will not suspend the sensitive security annex, which constitutes the core of the treaty." He added that Egypt "may threaten or partially suspend some of the texts and clauses of the peace treaty, including those related to diplomatic and consular relations, and the ambassador may be withdrawn."

Egypt seeks to postpone the process

In this context, the Egyptian expert in strategic affairs, retired Brigadier General Samir Ragheb, said, “Egypt seeks, through negotiation, to postpone or cancel the Rafah operation , by reaching a truce that extends for approximately four months, and this gives an opportunity for peaceful efforts to end the conflict in a peaceful way.” Perfect, but if the conflict continues, the Rafah operation will inevitably take place.”

Ragheb added to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, “ Egypt plays more than one role for more than one consideration, given that it is one of the countries most concerned with the Palestinian file in general. It and Qatar are working on the truce file between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation, and in the end it is a linked neighboring country.” With a peace treaty with Israel, this gives Egypt the right to demand guarantees from Israel

He stressed that Egypt " has conditions regarding the issue of entering Rafah; the first is the evacuation of civilians and ensuring their safety, especially with the large number of displaced people in Rafah, and the second is related to the continued operation of the crossings, because any operation in Rafah will close the crossings." He stressed that Egypt "wants to ensure the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip, through the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings, which are currently operating, but the occupation seeks to close them if the Rafah operation begins, and replace them with the Al-Mantar and Zakim crossings and the Erez (Beit Hanoun) crossing." He stressed that Egypt is "prepared for all scenarios," saying that "with regard to displacement, coordination has been made with the Palestinian and Israeli sides
