@benjameinschwanz | antes do humor do Tommaso ir pro beleléu, bem no comecinho da festa

Após ter acompanhado uma pessoa que lhe interessava de maneira romanticamente social, até o lago, Tommaso encerrou suas interações por lá munido de um novo amigo: Jeremias, o mascote bastante conhecido de uma outra relação consideravelmente caótica, mas divertida, que ele possuía. O que o fez rumar em direção ao salão, aproximando-se imediatamente de Benjamin ao reconhecê-lo em meio a multidão, devolvendo a lontra para o respectivo dono enquanto guardava em um de seus bolsos o acessório que ela havia trazido. — Jeremias disse que nem ele aguenta mais você. — Brincou. Apesar de frequentemente se provocarem e se desafiarem, Benji ainda era uma das pessoas mais próximas de Tommaso. Isso, excetuando-se as vezes em que ficavam, sem nunca terem avançado para um relacionamento mais sério como o que o Giordano normalmente preferiria, simplesmente porque sabiam que não tinham a mínima condição de se enfiarem naquele tipo de coisa, sendo quem eram. — Francamente, isso não é jeito de se tratar um familiar, Ben. — Provocou um pouco mais, como se não houvesse outra pessoa conversando com o outro. Não havia dúvida alguma de que Tommaso era realmente ciumento e possessivo com seu círculo social, então aquilo não era nenhuma novidade. — Aonde estão seus modos? Certamente não foi isso que seu clã te ensinou.

Rafah? As in the "Evacuate here, it's a safe spot while we bomb the rest of Palestine" Rafah? The Rafah that most of the remaining Palestinians have been forcibly packed into as a supposed safe zone? That Rafah?

How people can still deny a genocide is beyond me

Biden’s State Department in a nutshell.

The Israeli army is just shooting anyone they think is Palestinian, much the same way that Israel is indiscriminately bombing all of Gaza, including the “safe zones” where they have directed noncombatant civilians to go right before they bomb them anyway. It’s war crimes, plain and simple.

🚨 Students at Harvard University launched an encampment in support of Gaza in Harvard Yard moments ago, calling for an end to Harvard's moral and material complicity in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Harvard has invested over $200 million of its over $51 billion endowment in companies with ties to zionist settlements in the West Bank, while most of its investments to the zionist entity are kept secret.

The students are demanding financial transparency regarding investments related to the zionist entity, as well as genocide and occupation in Palestine; divestment from these investments and reinvestment in Palestine; and dropping all charges against student activists.

The University has suppressed student voices in support of Palestine time and time again, suspending the Palestine Solidarity Committee just this week on baseless grounds. They have also enabled attacks on pro-Palestinian students from the media and politicians. Today, the students say enough is enough, and that they will no longer tolerate their institution's support for genocide.

This brings the number of ongoing encampments to 19, with more to come.

On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin NETANYAHU, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav GALLANT, the Minister of Defence of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023:

Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the Statute;

Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health contrary to article 8(2)(a)(iii), or cruel treatment as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(c)(i);

Wilful killing contrary to article 8(2)(a)(i), or Murder as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(c)(i);

Intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population as a war crime contrary to articles 8(2)(b)(i), or 8(2)(e)(i);

Extermination and/or murder contrary to articles 7(1)(b) and 7(1)(a), including in the context of deaths caused by starvation, as a crime against humanity;

Persecution as a crime against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(h);

Other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(k).
