UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem, says countries who advocate women’s rights must ‘walk the talk’, applying their principles consistently and without selective advocacy by avoiding arms transfers that facilitate the killing of Palestinian women by Israel.

Pregnant women, mothers and young girls are particularly vulnerable, she explains, as they face a sharp increase in miscarriages, malnutrition, and severe dehydration due to the dire circumstances.

“Mothers and would-be mothers have been targeted by the genocidal machine,” explains Alsalem. “They cannot even feed their newborn kids, not to mention the terror and desperation they feel because of the constant need to flee seeking safety in a place where there is no safety, the bombardments, the constant attack, the arbitrary executions, destruction of their families, family homes and with it the photos and items commemorating their family lives.”

          So no dictatorships installed by Luxembourg? I guess your claim was a lie.

          And you were banned for defending the recruitment of child soldiers, which is a war crime. I’m not sure why you’re lying about that either. People can check the modlogs.

            You lying in the mod logs about things that never happened does not make it true.

              It absolutely happened. This is such a silly lie. You were also warned multiple times that you would be banned if you didn’t stop defending the Houthis from recruiting child soldiers.

              And now you’re lying that you never defended them? You can’t even be consistent in your political beliefs?

                Can you quote the part where I defended the Houthis using child soldiers? Oh wait you can’t because that never happened you just make things up.

                According to this logic if someone says they like Joe Biden forgiving student loans that means they are supporting the Genocide in Gaza.

                But of course it doesn’t, because you only separate the action from the actor when the actor is a white liberal. Suddenly you discover nuance and all colors of gray.

                  Tell you what, you agree with this factual statement and I’ll unban you:

                  The Houthis are child-killing war criminals.

                    That comment is factually correct.

                    But I still support the Houthi’s blockading the Red Sea.
