Extrajudicial killings and the mutilation of the deceased has ranged from summary execution of injured or disarmed soldiers in the wake of combat to killing civilians (including the elderly and disabled) who could not escape before Azerbaijani forces overtook their towns. 4/6

Withdrawing Cavallaro’s nomination sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the credibility of the US in advocating for human rights in other parts of the world. This move by the @StateDept is a blow to the global human rights movement and should be reversed immediately. 3/x

The US has an opportunity to make things right and reverse course, just like the Harvard Kennedy School did after @KenRoth was attacked for his principled criticism of Israeli apartheid. It’s time for the @StateDept to do the same thing by reinstating Cavallaro’s nomination. 4/x

Immediately after the Israeli military’s denial of responsibility for the strike, major media outlets edited their news coverage to remove references to Israel. Over the next few days, Israel presented fabricated evidence that MSM failed to verify or fact-check.

Today, we submitted two official complaints to the UN regarding the Bolivian massacres in Sacaba and Senkata, coauthored with @AndeanInfoNet , @CELS_Argentina , and others. The international community must demand justice for the victims of these killings.

Bolivia: Complaint Submitted to the UN Denouncing the Sacaba and Senkata Massacres

Nine months after the institutional breakdown in Bolivia, we denounced the de facto government and its impunity for extrajudicial executions and other grave human rights violations.

@nytimes As @nytimes found, the munition that Israel claimed was a misfired Gaza rocket was, in fact, a missile launched from Israel that had no connection to the subsequent explosion at Al Ahli Hospital. That is, Israel misidentified its own missile and blamed it for the hospital strike.

@nytimes @BBCNews @washingtonpost @GeoConfirmed @AlJazeera @Channel4News @earshot_ngo As Israel relentlessly drops bombs on Gaza, Palestinians must prove they did not bomb themselves. Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate says: enough is enough. MSM must adhere to basic journalistic principles of integrity & objectivity or risk facilitating Israel’s ongoing genocide.
