Vector Hugo<p>Under Israeli pressure, Guinea Bissau moves to withdraw Flag of the <a href="https://burma.social/tags/FreedomFlotillaCoalition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreedomFlotillaCoalition</span></a></p><p>"Sadly, <a href="https://burma.social/tags/GuineaBissau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GuineaBissau</span></a> has allowed itself to become complicit in Israel’s deliberate <a href="https://burma.social/tags/starvation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>starvation</span></a>, <a href="https://burma.social/tags/illegalSiege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>illegalSiege</span></a> and genocide of Palestinians in <a href="https://burma.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a>. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> is showing the world the extent to which it will go to deny Palestinians the aid they need to stay alive, in direct contravention of International <a href="https://burma.social/tags/HumanitarianLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanitarianLaw</span></a>, <a href="https://burma.social/tags/UN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UN</span></a> Security Council resolutions, and two orders of the International Court of Justice <a href="https://burma.social/tags/ICC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICC</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://bird.makeup/users/cij_icj" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>cij_icj</span></a></span> . Israel is only allowed to get away with this because we have an international order where law does not apply equally, where people are not valued the same, and where might equals right. The US has hijacked <a href="https://burma.social/tags/internationalLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>internationalLaw</span></a> and is violating its own laws to protect Israel at every turn. A recently-leaked <a href="https://burma.social/tags/USAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USAID</span></a> memo states that ' <a href="https://burma.social/tags/famine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>famine</span></a> in Gaza is inevitable,' and that 'changes could reduce but not stop widespread <a href="https://burma.social/tags/civiliandeaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civiliandeaths</span></a>.' It also states that the government of Israel does not currently demonstrate necessary compliance with <a href="https://burma.social/tags/USlaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USlaw</span></a> required to receive <a href="https://burma.social/tags/USmilitary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USmilitary</span></a> aid. Nevertheless, last week, the <a href="https://burma.social/tags/USCongress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USCongress</span></a> passed and Biden signed a $26 billion aid package for Israel. It is this kind of naked impunity, over decades, that has brought us to this point where Israel can carry out a <a href="https://burma.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a> " </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkQdCyqAgSQ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=mkQdCyqAgS</span><span class="invisible">Q</span></a></p><p>You'll find a transcript in the official blog... <br><a href="https://freedomflotilla.org/2024/04/27/press-conference-guinea-bissau-flags/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">freedomflotilla.org/2024/04/27</span><span class="invisible">/press-conference-guinea-bissau-flags/</span></a></p>
