What do they say about #dxday? [2/3]

"I got seriously interested in DX last year. Very happy to have been at this event (another in a long list of GrUSP events in which I am more than happy to participate)"

It was an entire event dedicated to #DevEx with talks of the highest caliber and great emphasis on #IDPs and #AI."

On October 23, 1983, 241 US Marines — many of them simply sleeping in their bunks — were massacred by #Hezbollah.

Yes, the same #terrorist organization that’s spent the last year firing hundreds of missiles at civilian targets in #Israel.

The same bunch of #Iran-backed, #extremist murderers who today are responsible for turning 60 thousand Israelis into internally displaced persons ( #IDPs).

The same reprehensible cowards who were never punished by the US for the slaughter of 1983-10-23.

The same illiberal #Islamofascists whom Israel is now fighting, risking its own citizens’ lives to close America’s account — as well as its own.

You’re welcome, world that blames Israel and #Jews for everything that goes wrong in your lives.

You’re welcome.

"Schools run by #UNRWA, the UN refugee agency for #PalestinianRefugees, have been havens for civilians fleeing Israeli bombing in Gaza. But a string of UNRWA-run schools sheltering #DisplacedPalestinians have been bombed and the agency’s headquarters in #Gaza City was destroyed. Where can #Palestinians find safety?"

"...it is striking how silent the international community remains towards Rwanda. Multiple recent United Nations reports have extensively documented direct Rwandan military support for the M23 rebellion – support that Kigali itself denies.
... The comparison with both Ukraine and Israel/Palestine is frequently made in the country: where is the attention to the Congolese crisis?"
