HRF Speaker Canceled by Pro Palestine Conference in Denmark - The Hind Rajab Foundation (2025-01-11)

https://www.hindrajabfoundation.org/news/hrf-speaker-canceled-by-pro-palestine-conference-in-denmark
———

“The Hind Rajab Foundation (#HRF) was invited to participate in one of the panels of the European Palestinian Network Conference in Denmark today, but due to false information circulated by the Israeli press, the foundation’s involvement was abruptly canceled.”

“We deeply regret this outcome and wish to emphasize that the Hind Rajab Foundation is an independent organization, legally recognized under Belgian law. … our sole mission remains the pursuit of justice and accountability for the victims and perpetrators of this ongoing genocide.

“Furthermore, we generally refrain from attending congresses or networking events, as our focus is exclusively on working tirelessly toward our goals. This was a rare exception, and we now recognize it as a mistake...”

“Saed Abu Nabhan, a freelance Anadolu cameraman in Gaza, was killed on Friday by a long-range rifle attack by the Israeli army.”

“Footage from the scene shows a wounded individual being rushed out of a house on a stretcher with the help of aid workers.

“Nearby, Abu Nabhan is seen trying to run while covering the incident with his equipment. At that moment, he is targeted by what appears to be a shot fired from a long-range rifle.”

“The death of Abu Nabhan brought the total number of Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023 to 203. Reports also indicate that 399 journalists have been injured, and 43 others captured.”

For those who don't have access to TikTok, the Ms. Rachel account shared a video of some Gazan children in a tent, sitting on the ground watching a Ms. Rachel video on a tablet. God bless her.

“[Irish Foreign Minister] proposed to intervene to promote a consistent interpretation of the Genocide Convention which prioritises the protection of civilian life, and to demonstrate Ireland's strong commitment to the rule of law and international justice.”

“Yesterday, the ICJ said in a statement that #Ireland had filed a declaration of intervention concerning the South Africa case against Israel.

“By filing a declaration of intervention, Ireland is not joining either side in the case.”

"...the House may vote as early as tomorrow on a bill that would impose sanctions on the #ICC, a blatant act of retaliation for its decision to issue the arrest warrants. House #Republicans are prioritizing protecting #Netanyahu — a wanted war criminal — from prosecution, so much so that it is one of the first bills they are bringing in the new Congress."
