"Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest is an outrageous attack on free speech rights the US is obligated to respect under international law. The US should refrain from starting a witch hunt against immigrants on campuses across the country." -Tanya Greene, US program director, Human Rights Watch

Free speech is a human right, and the US is obligated to respect it under international law.

Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest is an outrageous attack on this right.

New SkySat imagery from Planet Labs over northern Gaza from Dec 5 shows extensive damage to the Beit Lahia Cemetery after the IDF cleared two paths through the middle of it.

🧵 I have a cemetery destruction thread on Twitter that I'll re-post to Bluesky for tracking purposes.

I don't know you well enough to judge, but either you're so swayed by empty rhetoric that you can't see Hamas isn't responsible for Israel's war conduct, or you do understand this but are choosing to be deliberately obtuse to avoid having to grapple with the fact Israel’s no better.

Aussage des Dieter Wisliceny (RSHA) in Bratislava:
"... hat der Begriff "Endlösung" eine völlig andere Bedeutung bekommen und wurde als Tarnwort für die biologische Vernichtung des europäischen Judentums von Himmler und Eichmann benutzt."

The idea of “Value-free history” to me at this point seems to be a farce. One only needs to look at the history wars in Ireland. From the 1930s to 1970s historians pushing for “Value-free history” often chose to whitewash the British role in Ireland’s an Gorta Mór.

Coogan consistently embarrasses himself. He remains unable to explain how a government that expended 10 million pounds (equivalent to 50 million USD today) and nourished 3.5 million individuals daily at the height of the famine could possess genocidal intent.

The more I learn about Napoleon the more his popular portrayals make me irritated. Like I started nibbling at the topic because of Ribbes shotty work claiming he was a blueprint for Hitler. But Napoleon was actually a monster whose crafted the modern popular conception of himself.

I am still formulating out ideas on my article on genocide. In the meantime I’ve ordered some new books. They have implications for my article on Tim Pat Coogan - I’ve been meaning to revise and expand it - and my future series of articles on Holocaust Obfuscation.

UN employee shot dead by Israeli sniper in occupied West Bank Military claims the sanitation worker had been throwing explosive devices at its troops from the roof of his home in the el Far’a camp

The IDF recently killed a UNRWA sanitation worker under circumstances akin to the killing of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi. (Washington Post has cast significant doubt on the Israeli assertion that she died from a ricochet bullet.)

U.N. official says Israel systematically impeding Gaza aid distribution After Israel accused the U.N. of failing to "do its job," the head of a U.N. aid agency says it's Israel delaying the flow of food to those in need.

U.S.A. « said this week that famine was "threatening to take hold" in parts of the densely populated territory. »

The head of UNOCHA states « that the responsibility of the Israeli authorities starts when the assistance enters into Gaza. But it should only finish when it's delivered. »

Interestingly, Guenter Lewy's assertion in 2005 that no documents used by the Ottoman court-martial survived was untenable even before Taner Akcam republicated documents from Krikor Guerguerian's archive. The Turkish government published one in 1995. (Noticed by Hilmar Kaiser in 2014)

Israel says it’s boosting Gaza aid, but U.N. says little has changed Israel announced new measures to alleviate the crisis in Gaza. But relief workers say aid access remains as complicated and risky as ever.

In the week since President Biden warned Israel to swiftly address civilian suffering in Gaza, Israeli officials have touted what they say is a record number of aid trucks entering the territory.

But according to U.N. and other aid officials, little has actually changed on the ground.
