@DrLiz16 The anti-zionist movement in Ireland speaks to their anti-colonial movement. They see their history in the Palestinian struggle.

I've been glad to offer a research perspective to various media outlets, following the sad news that Splendour in the Grass is cancelled. I'll share here.

Everyone in the world needs to see this.

Note that this footage permits no room for "it was a mistake," showing repeated, specifically-targeted strikes on the unarmed and even wounded. The sort of behavior the ICJ explicitly forbid in the genocide ruling against Israel.

You might be hearing analysts compare the Israel assault on Gaza to the US-led coalition assault on Mosul to clear ISIS in 2016-2017 or Falluja in 2004. I’ve been in both those battles for extended periods of time & I’ve covered their aftermath.

I'm an international humanitarian law #IHL lawyer, I specialize in the rules governing the conduct of hostilities, and I can not think of a single rule that has not been breached by #Israel and #Hamas since Saturday. Not one. To salvage the humanity of #Palestinans and #Israelis the war must end, the occupation must end.

So…it turns out that many people’s support for Ukraine isn’t based on a belief in the universal right to resist occupation and annexation.

July: "Australia's sanctions regime against Russia reflects our support for the people of Ukraine and for its sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

Today: "Australia unequivocally condemns attacks on Israel by Hamas.. recognises Israel’s right to defend itself."
