Okay: What. The. Actual. Fuck.
Did you hear about it????
UNRWA terrorists will get immunity and legal protection from the UN for their participation in the October 7 Massacre.
What what what???
This is the only English source I found about it. Idk how reliable is it 😒:
I haven't been so disappointed by the UN since they officially ignored 07/10 in their "International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to Victims of Terrorism".
So, a month?

Did Herseys do any research before asking Fae Johnstone to be in their IWD campaign? How could they have the comments about silencing women, the disrespect to the dead at a memorial to the victims of the École Polytechnique massacre, he attacked the Declaration on Women’s Sex Based Rights, he supports drag queens story hour andsending men to women’s prisons
Hershey’s is facing backlash following the release of their International Women’s Day campaign, one which features a trans-identified male with a history of making disparaging comments about women. Many social media users are now calling for consumers to boycott the company.
Trans activist Fae Johnstone is being featured in the SHE campaign by Hershey’s for International Women’s Day, which is due to take place on March 8. Johnstone excitedly announced his participation in the advertisement through Twitter on Wednesday.
Women on Twitter did not react positively to the news of Johnstone’s participation, with some calling it “female erasure.” Many began tagging the company and expressing their disappointment in the campaign, launching a hashtag “#HersheyHatesWomen” and threatening to boycott Hershey products.
“Hi @Hersheys WHY do you let a MAN who hates women and wants to silence us, represent WOMEN on International Women’s Day,” one user wrote, including a screenshot of a tweet from Johnstone calling for “TERFs” to be silenced. TERF is an acronym which stands for “trans exclusionary radical feminist,” but is often applied to any person, especially a female, who expresses critiques of gender ideology.
“He is not a woman and should not be featured in an International Women’s Day ad. There are many inspiring women who would have been a great choice to represent women but they chose a MAN. What a vile way to teach girls and women about male privilege. #BoycottHersheys,” another Twitter user said.
This is not the first time Johnstone, who identifies as “trans feminine and non-binary,” has been selected to take a platform representing women.
In December of 2022, Johnstone was invited to give the keynote address at Durham College in Ontario, Canada for their National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women ceremony. The event was a memorial tribute held on the anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre. During the horrific act of mass femicide, 14 women, 13 students and one university staff member, were killed by a lone gunman who claimed he was retaliating against feminism.
“You’re women, you’re going to be engineers. You’re all a bunch of feminists. I hate feminists,” the shooter said after telling all of the males to exit a classroom. He opened fire on the remaining women in a horrific act that has now been recognized as terrorism by the Canadian government.
After his keynote speech at the event, Johnstone was confronted by an attendee who questioned the University’s decision to platform him at the memorial ceremony.
Jennifer Anne, a woman’s rights campaigner, recorded her interaction with Johnstone, and uploaded the audio to Twitter.
“I am wondering why, on this day, we would have a man dressed in women’s garb to talk to us about sex-based violence and keeping women safe? How can women stay safe in this environment?”
Johnstone casually dismissed the question.
Despite identifying himself as a “feminist,” Johnstone has previously attacked various feminist groups for failing to include men in their activism or for using sex-based language.
In November of 2021, Johnstone made disparaging remarks towards the Canadian Femicide Observatory, a research and information centre which aims to prevent femicide and violence against women, for using “TERF rhetoric” on Twitter due to their overt focus on female victims of sex-based crime.
Johnstone also attacked the Declaration on Women’s Sex Based Rights, which advocates for women and girls on the basis of needing single-sex spaces and protection from violence, and has called for those who hold views critical of gender ideology to be “so vilified” that they are unable to publicly express their opinions on the debate.
Most recently, Johnstone advocated for the placement of a male rapist in a woman’s prison. Responding to fellow trans activist Peter Tatchell on Twitter, Johnstone compared segregating a transgender double rapist from the female general population to segregating lesbian inmates.
As well as attacking feminist organizations and those advocating for female only spaces, Johnstone is a proponent of “drag queen story hour” (DQSH).
In one article he published last month, he called the opposition to DQSH a rise in “anti-queer hate” and called for protection bubbles around “queer spaces,” similar to the protection zone around abortion clinics.
Johnstone has worked extensively with different departments in the Canadian Government, including Health Canada. One Twitter user attended a sex-education workshop led by Johnstone and expressed concerns over some of the subject matter being discussed.
In a short statement regarding the controversy, Johnstone said: “It was, and continues to be, an immense honor to be included in Hershey’s Canada’s campaign, as a young trans woman and feminist advocate.”
Johnstone also tweeted that the backlash he has received shows “just how far we still have to go in the fight for feminist liberation and trans rights.”
Despite the negative feedback regarding the campaign from social media users, Hershey’s has doubled down on their decision to include Johnstone in the women’s empowerment campaign.
Posting to Instagram, Hershey’s Canada said: “We value togetherness and recognize the strength created by diversity. Over the past three years, our Women’s History Month programming has been an inclusive celebration of women and their impact. We appreciate the countless people and meaningful partnerships behind these efforts.”
The comments made in response to their statement have been overwhelmingly negative, with women using the hashtags #STOPERASINGWOMEN and #BoycottHersheys in their replies.
This is not the first time social media users have called for a company to be boycotted for having men represent women.
Feminine hygiene brands Tampax and Always have both faced scrutiny from consumers for using trans-identified males to sell their products. Earlier this year, women on social media called for a Tampax boycott after Jeffery Marsh, a 45 year old man who identifies as non-binary, spoke about being paid to promote tampons and other feminine hygiene products for the brand.
Always, another feminine hygiene company, faced widespread backlash last year after transgender TikToker Dylan Mulvaney claimed to have received a sponsorship deal from them. Mulvaney would prompt yet another wave of anger from women after he was invited on an Ulta Beauty podcast to discuss girlhood and motherhood in October of 2022, resulting in #BoycottUlta trending on Twitter.
By Shay Woulahan Shay is a writer and social media content creator for Reduxx. She is a proud lesbian activist and feminist who lives in Northern Ireland with her partner and their four-legged, fluffy friends.

The Hiroshima bombing on August 6, 1945, caused immense destruction and loss of life, reshaping views on warfare. Similarly, the September 11, 2001, attacks killed nearly 3,000 people and transformed national security policies. Both events highlight humanity's capacity for terror and suffering. The number 666, often linked to evil and apocalyptic themes, serves as a chilling reminder of how human actions can unleash chaos and devastation.

[ad_1] Today marks the 6th Commemoration of the International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism. The United States stands with the global community of victims, families, survivors, and communities who have been impacted by the scourge of terrorism. The effects of terrorism are long-lasting and tragic. Victims of terrorism must remain at the forefront of efforts to provide them with the justice and support they deserve. The United States and its international partners have made great strides in detecting and disrupting terrorist attacks, diminishing terrorist recruitment, and denying terrorists support. We are committed to preventing future attacks and to hold terrorists to account for their crimes. We pay solemn tribute to those who lost their lives in terrorist attacks, and we will never forget the victims of terrorism or stop our pursuit of justice and peace. [ad_2]

Remarks by Claudio Cordone, DSRSG for Iraq for Political Affairs and Electoral Assistance and UNAMI Officer in Charge Canal Hotel Bombing Commemoration
Dear colleagues, friends,
Today, on the anniversary of the Canal Hotel bombing, we are marking two international days designated by the General Assembly. One is World Humanitarian Day, designated specifically on the anniversary of that bombing. The other is 21st August, the International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism.
I wish to use these solemn commemorations to honour all the humanitarian workers who lost their lives in the service of humanity, and all victims and survivors of terrorism.
Colleagues,
2023 was the deadliest year on record for humanitarian workers, and 2024 is expected – sadly – to be even worse. Humanitarian workers from the UN alongside others from local and international NGOs are being killed, injured, abducted, together with the civilians they support and who, as always, bear the brunt of conflicts everywhere.
International humanitarian law is being trampled upon. More than ever before, atrocities are being documented, sometimes with pride by the very perpetrators, and yet, impunity prevails just about everywhere.
In our region, in Gaza, we have seen the highest number of UN staff killed in a single conflict. Among them are 207 of my former colleagues at UNRWA, killed together with over 40,000 Palestinians in a ferocious war in which all sides are violating international law, and it is a war that may yet escalate into a regional conflagration.
In the words of the Secretary-General, this is a failure of humanity, responsibility, and leadership.
But this grim reality should not be a cause for despondency. On World Humanitarian Day, we do not only celebrate the work of humanitarians and remember the victims and survivors.
Today we also demand that all parties to conflicts end attacks on humanitarian workers and on all civilians.
We demand that those who order or commit violations of international law be held to account.
We demand support for institutions such as the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, which exist to ensure accountability for states and individuals for the most egregious violations of international law.
Colleagues,
We of course have a particular reason to commemorate this day here in Baghdad. The memory and the wounds, some invisible, of the attack on the Canal Hotel are still raw. We lost 22 colleagues on that day in 2003, only five days after UNAMI was established by the Security Council. The then Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Sérgio Vieira de Mello, was among those who lost their lives. More than 100 others were injured or impacted in other ways.
I am honoured that some of the survivors of the Canal Hotel bombing are with us today, still serving with the UN, working for their country. Please join me in paying a special tribute to them.
I also wish to extend our deepest sympathy to all those who have lost colleagues, family members and friends. A special thought goes to the families of those who lost their lives at the Canal Hotel and who cannot be here with us today.
We know that the attack of 19 August 2003 was followed by an increasing violent campaign by various terrorist groups which wreaked death and destruction across the country for years on end. Yesterday, at the Foreign Ministry, I participated in an event to mark the Yazidi genocide at the hands of Da’esh, and I paid tribute to the Yazidi and other victims and survivors of terrorism, including those killed at the Canal Hotel and in the attack on the building of the Foreign Ministry in 2009, also on 19 August.
Colleagues,
Today we salute the courage of humanitarian workers. We celebrate their dedication to serve all people in need: no matter who, no matter where, no matter what.
We also recommit ourselves to confronting terrorism, and indeed all ideologies preaching the supremacy of one group over others and fuelling intolerance and violence, whether in this region or elsewhere in the world.
The best way to honour our humanitarian colleagues who were killed at the Canal Hotel, and since, is to keep on promoting the values of humanity, justice and peace. UNAMI is on the exit path, but we will not forget their memory and their commitment to Iraq, and to a better world everywhere. This is their legacy, and our continuing inspiration.
And now, before giving the floor to our colleague Hazem Abdulbaqi who will speak on behalf of the Canal Hotel survivors, I would like to express our appreciation to them in Arabic.
Once again on this anniversary, I salute you for your courage. I wish to express our deep gratitude for your continuing contribution to the work of the UN in Iraq, and for your commitment to your country. We take pride in you just as you take pride in your work. I thank you on behalf of us all.

Acts of terrorism propagating a wide-range of hateful ideologies continue to injure, harm and kill thousands of innocent people each year.
Despite international condemnation of terrorism, victims and survivors of terrorism often struggle to have their voices heard, their needs supported, and their rights upheld. Victims often feel forgotten and neglected once the immediate aftermath of a terrorist attack fades, with profound consequences for them. Few Member States have the resources or the capacity to fulfil the medium and long-term needs of victims of terrorism to enable them to fully recover, rehabilitate and re-integrate into society. Most victims can only recover and cope with their trauma through long-term multi-dimensional support, including physical, psychological, social and financial.
Member States have the primary responsibility to support victims of terrorism and uphold their rights. The United Nations has an important role in supporting Member States to implement the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy by standing in solidarity and providing support to victims of terrorism; offering capacity building assistance; establishing networks; and offering support to civil society organizations, particularly victims' associations; and encouraging Member States to promote, protect and respect the rights of victims of terrorism. The United Nations provides technical assistance and capacity-building to Member States and victims' associations in better addressing the needs of victims of terrorism.
