Seriously, UK?
Sorry I am not giving my personal and identifying data to a shady US private company subject to no regulations to feed the paranoia of 70 year-old British politicians who don't get how the internet works, you guys will need to wait till I am using this with a VPN to send me chats.

YouTube video by Alonso Gurmendi Why Brazil Intervening in South Africa's Case Against Israel is a Game-Changer

New video: Yesterday I told Chat why I'm so excited about Brazil joining South Africa's ICJ case and how the legacy and work of Brazil's most famous international lawyer -Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade- is sorely needed in today's discussion about genocidal intent

YouTube video by Alonso Gurmendi What is the Academic Consensus on the Gaza Genocide?

A great piece that draws on my work on anti-colonial law-making to challenge the idea that those who seek to restrain the practice of war simply lack experience of it.

Thanks Kostia!!

Thank you !

The IHL / LOAC Divide Does Not Exist: On the Myth of the Two Cultures Problem in a Postcolonial World Yesterday, Brian Cox, a frequent critic of this blog, posted a long comment on Twitter (now X), in the context of a discussion he had with Opinio Juris’ own Kevin Jon Heller.

Omg we are so screwed… these people live in 1985

Thank you so much! My philosophy is build it and people will show up. The interesting analyses exist all over academia. They are just not accessible!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social you asked me this on your show

YouTube video by Alonso Gurmendi Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide: What is the Difference?

Yesterday Chat and I discussed the difference between genocide and ethnic cleansing, how both concepts came to be and how we got to see them as different things.

YouTube video by Alonso Gurmendi Bob Vylan: What We Really Should Be Talking About

On Sunday’s stream we talked about how the current discourse on Bob Vylan distracts from 2 key points:

1) it’s Israeli society that has a problem with genocidal songs

2) that Bon Vylan’s songs show how racism in 🇵🇸 and 🇬🇧 are connected through solidarity in struggle

YouTube video by Alonso Gurmendi Are Israeli Jews an Indigenous People under International Law?

In this new Video Essay, I explore the concept of indigeneity as it applies to Israel, from the perspective of IL and postcolonial theory. In sum, while Israelis can idetify as "indigenous to Israel", they are not, in my view, an "Indigenous People under IL". www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QZN...
