'The World Must Act Before Silence Becomes Complicity': Journalist Urgent Appeal
Luciux Riker, a freelance journalist and a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights, shocked her viewers on TikTok: 'The occupation just martyred Al Jazeera correspondent Hassan Shabbat. This comes hours after Palestine TV's Mohamed Mansour was killed with his family in Khan Yunis.' Shabbat died near Beit Hanun, steps from the Indonesian hospital, as colleague Mahmoud Abu Salama filmed under quadcopter fire. Medical Infrastructure Targeted Riker highlighted escalating attacks: 'They bombed the Red Cross headquarters in Raqqa—a day after striking Nasser Hospital's emergency department.' Days prior, the Turkish Friendship Hospital at Netserim, used as a military base by occupation forces, was destroyed. 'When we exposed these crimes, they called it 'blood libel.' Now, they don't even pretend,' Riker added. A Pattern of Impunity The journalist condemned global silence: 'They think you're comfortable with genocide.' Her TikTok video underscores relentless strikes on civilians, hospitals, and press, framing it as a deliberate campaign to erase Gaza's narrative. Riker's footage and words demand accountability. 'This isn't just about hospitals or journalists—it's about erasing Palestine,' she urged, echoing activists worldwide. As attacks intensify, her reporting amplifies a plea: 'The world must act before silence becomes complicity.' Short link : Post Views: 1 Related Stories

UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese said that Israel is 'targeting Palestinians as a people, and this is what defines the crime of genocide'. In an interview with Palestine TV, Albanese said that Israel has "violated the UN charter" and "must be held accountable for its actions". She called for Israel's suspension from the UN due to its violations of international law. "Israel has destroyed or damaged UN premises, targeted shelters, and accused the UN of terrorism," she added.
