Gaza, Genocide and the Limitations of International Law
The Genocide Convention that Israel has been accused of violating may contain a critical loophole when it comes to military action.
I'm writing a new monthly column in @wpr.bsky.social. My first piece is on the flaws in international law on genocide and the gap in the Genocide Convention between genocidal intent and "military necessity," drawing on the indispensable work of @dirkmoses.bsky.social

"And Jewish communities around the world will also distance themselves from that state increasingly, because Israel is now the main generator of anti-semitism around the world. It speaks of itself as the representative of the Jews around the world."

Über das Wetter zu reden gilt völlig zu Unrecht als Paradebeispiel für small talk.
Wetter ist oft die letzte Möglichkeit der Welt, uns darauf aufmerksam zu machen, dass wir in ihr stattfinden.

"WHO and UN agencies have reported at least 772 attacks on health care, with 94% of hospitals damaged or destroyed and more than 1500 health-care workers killed—the highest toll ever recorded." the silence is deafening.

Besser als mit diesem Foto einer Teilnehmerin an der friedlichen Demonstration vom 27.9 in Berlin gegen den Genozid könnte @spiegel.de gar nicht illustrieren, was hier, zutiefst fragwürdig, als angeblicher Antisemitismus gilt. Mehr zur Methode von RIAS hier diasporaalliance.co/wp-content/u...

@thunberggreta.bsky.social has done more to prevent and punish genocide than all 193 States in the UN, especially the 153 signatories of the genocide convention. Let that sink in

Only after the last olive tree has been uprooted / Only after the last home has been levelled / Only after the last child has been maimed or starved to death/ Then will you find that hasbara cannot be trusted.

A ‘magic pill’ made Israeli violence invisible. We need to stop swallowing it | Diana Buttu
For years, I pressed Palestinian interests in peace talks. The response to Trump’s plan proves the international community hasn’t learned from catastrophe
@dianabuttu.bsky.social : "The west continues to entertain proposals(...)giving Israel the ultimate say over the future of Gaza. How is it that the country committing genocide is granted any say in the future of the people against whom it has committed genocide?"

2 Million People Paralyze Italy in a General Strike for Gaza and the Flotilla - Left Voice
Workers across Italy brought the country to a halt with a massive national strike to denounce Israel’s attacks against the Global Sumud Flotilla — defying Meloni’s repression and showing the power of…
"[T]wo million [Italian] workers demonstrated and walked off the streets on Friday."
"Workers across the world must follow this example [.] and send a message to the entire world: the labor movement will not allow Israel to massacre the Palestinian people."

Zweierlei Staatsräson – the Diasporist
Wie Deutschland die Singularität des Holocaust betont, um sich der Verantwortung für seine Kolonialverbrechen zu entziehen
Für den @thediasporist.bsky.social habe ich aufgeschrieben, wieso das Betonen der Singularität des Holocaust von nichtjüdischer deutscher Seite auch eine Entlastungsfunktion hat, und wie es benutzt wird, um sich Reparationsforderungen zu entziehen.

I do not wish to live in this dystopian monstrosity.
A person being starved, apologizing to the person wanting to help, for the suffering done to both of them by the same occupier
In what kind of world do we live that we allow this to go on. We are all slaves to this 1 occupier.
