Israel still committing genocide in Gaza, Amnesty International says The NGO’s chief says last month’s ceasefire β€˜risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal’

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

Judicial review of Palestine Action ban to proceed as government challenge throw out A legal challenge to the decision to proscribe Palestine Action will proceed, after an attempt by the Home Office to block the case was thrown out

"Arresting peaceful protesters & those disrupting the arms trade is a dangerous misuse of counter-terror resources, with over 2,000 people having now been arrested β€” a staggering 3,100% increase in counter-terror arrests."

Govt challenge rightly thrown out.

Extract from the linked article "Race Reports": "What does it mean for the university to acknowledge the 'displacement of indigenous people' in the nineteenth century as a generative driver of its wealth at the same time as it exhibits a studied indifference or, worse, active hostility to those campaigning against the decimation of the indigenous people of Palestine in the genocide that has been ongoing since October 2023? Within weeks of the onset of the genocide an early facade of institutional neutrality, itself premised on a morally objectionable equation of the violence of the colonised and the coloniser, gave way to outright condemnation of Palestine solidarity"

Predicating Israeli compliance with basic humanitarian law upon a denial of Palestinian rights would be immoral and idiotic in any context; but even more so when announced by a former human rights lawyer.

Gaza aid contractor tells BBC he saw colleagues fire on hungry Palestinians The Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has strongly denied the allegation.

The hallmarks of settler colonial genocides: offering relief as an opportunity to kill; complete dehumanisation (β€œzombie hordes”) and an exultation at the infliction of pain & suffering.

Pleased to share my new article! I reflect on what our responsibility is, as legal academics, to students experiencing racism and how we can surface the ways racism plays out "politely" such that the law school feels like a space to which they cannot fully belong.
