“The manifestation of the wind of thought… it is the ability to tell right from wrong, beautiful from ugly. And this indeed may prevent catastrophes, at least for myself, in the rare moments when the chips are down.” Hannah Arendt

Billionaires should not own social media platforms.
Billionaires should not run our newspapers.
Billionaires should not control our politics.
A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.
The world has witnessed the government of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in occupied Gaza. Month after month, the government of Israel has treated Palestinians in Gaza as a subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity, demonstrating its specific intent to physically destroy them. Israel's government and state officials responsible for the crime of genocide must be held accountable. We are calling on all States to use every legal avenue to bring suspected perpetrators to justice. No one should be allowed to commit genocide and remain unpunished. https://t.co/lyfB55V7Y5
📣 La France, par la voie de @francediplo, semble suggérer qu’elle n’arrêtera pas Netanyahu s’il venait sur son territoire. 🤯
Dans ce thread, je vous explique pourquoi cette position est juridiquement erronée et politiquement dangereuse. 🧵👇

Under the leadership of the current @IsraeliPM, Israel has literally made life hell on earth for millions of Palestinians, rendering "antisemtic label" a scorn, which also shamefully belittles real antisemitism.
He needs to be arrested not because he is Jewish, but because he appears to be a criminal on multiple counts (and being Christian, Buddhist, Muslim or atheist, would not make him any less arrestable).

Multiple reports appeared this year have revealed shocking facts and abuses at the Sde Teiman detention center, where Palestinians kidnapped in Gaza are held without charge/trial, reportedly mistreated, abused and even raped. Despite the serious allegations, in September the Israeli High Court of Justice ruled to keep Sde Teiman open, while instructing compliance with the Detainees' Rights Law (which does not stand int'l law scrutiny).
Two important considerations:
1. There is an urgent call for @ICRC, the European Union, and other officials to inspect any Israeli facilities where Palestinians are detained, reportedly mistreated/brutally abused and often killed.
2. While the reported facts about the treatment of Palestinian detainees may qualify as war crimes & crimes against humanity under the Rome Statute, they should be considered holistically as part of the totality of conduct revealing the intent of a state to commit genocide. This is discussed in my recent report to the UN: Genocide as Colonial Erasure.
🚨 In a new report, UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs warns of an ongoing genocide against Palestinians, driven by a "century-long project of eliminatory settler-colonialism." The report reveals mass killings, ethnic cleansing & Gaza's total devastation.
