Last week, Israel attacked the Catholic church in Gaza, killing 3 Palestinians and wounding many, including Father Gabriel Romanelli, who used to receive a daily call from the late Pope Francis.

People of all faiths must pressure their faith and political leaders to take concrete action to end any form of complicity in Israel’s genocide, apartheid and other atrocities.

loom.ly/k3aGca4Image At the time of the attack, the Catholic church was sheltering around 600 Palestinians elderly and children, seeking safety from Israel’s livestreamed genocide.

St Porphyrius, the world’s third oldest church and a shelter for displaced Palestinians, was already bombed by Israel in October 2023, killing at least 16 people. Israel’s impunity fueled new attacks on churches and Gaza’s 4,000-year-old heritage.Image

Chile’s airforce rescinded a contract with Israel’s ImageSat International.

It is immoral, illegal and reckless to conduct business with Israel’s military companies, which are part of Israel’s ongoing genocide of 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.



#MilitaryEmbargo
#GazaGenocideloom.ly/THVJfyUImage When Chile signed the US$ 120 million contract for 10 image capturing satellites, Israeli company ImageSat International (ISI) had convinced the Chilean authorities they would “enter a new space era.”

4 years later, only the first satellite was launched and failed miserably on its most important task– transmitting high quality images for Chile.

Chile decided: No results, no money, and closed the project. The other 8 satellites will be produced nationally.Image
