AND —

Translation: Your government is carrying out war crimes in the Gaza Strip, massive bombings, water and electricity cuts, not letting in humanitarian aid. Denouncing this genocide is not “aligning with Hamas”, it is a democratic obligation. Silence is complicity with terror.

Su gobierno está llevando a cabo crímenes de guerra en la Franja de Gaza, bombardeos masivos, cortes de agua y luz, no dejan entrar ayuda humanitaria. Denunciar ese genocidio no es “alinearse con Hamás”, es una obligación democrática. El silencio, complicidad con el terror. https://t.co/XbW06D7frJ

.

She called on Spanish citizens to take to the streets to demand that Madrid distance itself from the US’s unwavering support for Israel and called on the Global South to find a solution.

Today we want to raise our voice to denounce that the state of Israel is carrying out a planned genocide in the Gaza Strip, leaving hundreds of thousands without light, food and water and carrying out bombings on the civilian population that are collective punishment, seriously breach international law and may be considered war crimes

she said.

Ten days into Israel’s bombing of Gaza, over one million people – almost half the total population of Gaza – having been displaced.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
