If they do this to human rights activists in broad daylight, imagine what they do to Palestinians when none is looking…

When journalists, aid workers, and civilians seeking to provide humanitarian aid are detained, mistreated, or intimidated, the international community must not remain silent.

Human rights are not a selective principle that applies only when it is politically convenient. It is precisely in difficult times that the rule of law must be upheld.

The question is not only what happened, but also why so many governments and politicians continue to look the other way as more and more testimonies come to light.

History will judge not only those who committed injustices, but also those who remained silent while it was happening.

    Americans cant be bothered to force trumps hand with strikes? Meanwhile Europeans: (who also strike for way less)

    There are many differences between the governance of the population of America and Europe that lead to this discrepancy. Many articles have been written on the reasons why strikes have died off since the 40s that haven’t changed since then, some as simple as employment sponsored healthcare, other more complex like legal shifts around consequences and unions.
