As we mark #DownSyndrome Day,
we need to include persons with disabilities beyond decisions that relate to them, and make sure the process is #WithUsNotForUs
They are equally valuable members of all our societies.

#OTD 31 years ago, the Israeli Embassy in Argentina was attacked by Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization.
29 people were killed after a powerful bomb shattered the building @IsraelArgentina.
Today, we remember the victims.
Today, we continue to call for justice.
Women are being murdered,detained & raped in #Iran for having the will to fight the regimes repressive policies.
"On #InternationalWomensDay, it is important to show them that we stand with them,that we see their struggle & that we too demand their freedom."-@Adi_Farjon#HRC52
Women & girls represent more than half of the world’s population, yet, no country has achieved #gender equality.
On #InternationalWomensDay and every day, we renew our commitment to advancing #women's rights in Israel and across the world.
We have been made aware of several outrageous tweets & comments by a senior official at OHCHR targeting Israel.
This is not a one off. @UNHumanRights has a systemic problem when it comes to discrimination & prejudice against Israel.

The Iranian FM addressing #HRC52 is an insult to the millions of courageous Iranians fighting for their freedom.
An affront to the thousands killed, tortured & raped in detention by the regime.
Israel stands by the 🇮🇷people. The @UN_HRC must as well.

Two brothers brutally murdered this morning by a Palestinian terrorist who opened fire at their car.
The international community must stop turning a blind eye to Palestinian terrorism and incitement.
The High Commissioner has once again turned a blind eye to Palestinian terrorism.
We call on him to:
➡️Condemn Palestinian terrorism.
➡️Call on the PA take action against terrorism.
➡️Demand the PA ends its pay-for-slay policy.
