Strapped down, blindfolded, held in diapers: Israeli whistleblowers detail abuse of Palestinians in shadowy detention center https://t.co/ikjS2dxeVN

This is a big deal, and totally unprecedented. Today the UN General Assembly (not the Security Council, so no veto possible) will vote on a resolution that grants Palestine almost the full rights and privileges of a member "EVEN if the UNSC fails to admit Palestine".

This is designed to bypass the US veto on the Security Council and is virtually guaranteed to be approved given the overwhelming support that Palestine has among UN member states.

The resolution would enable Palestine to sit among member states alphabetically, speak on any agenda item at the UN, address international groups on its behalf, and submit resolutions in its name. It even gives Palestine the right to vote in a specific context: in international conferences convened under the auspices of the General Assembly (although they still wouldn't have the right to vote in the General Assembly itself as you cannot do without the Security Council approval for this).

The resolution draft points out that this is done "on an exceptional basis and without setting a precedent."

The Israeli UN ambassador has already said that “if it is approved, I expect the United States to completely stop funding the U.N. and its institutions, in accordance with American law."

US law indeed requires that the US defunds global institutions that admit Palestine as a member, which tells you everything you need to know about the US's actual "commitment" to the two-state solution...

So we're likely on the eve of another major battle between the"Rules-Based Order" and International Law, where the US might - as insane as it sounds - choose to defund the UN.

found out that graduate students don’t get to be on the dean’s list. i hate it here. crying. throwing up. screaming.

That aside, I finished my first semester of graduate school with the highest GPA I’ve ever gotten since middle school! #growth #imnotadumbass #atleastnottoday
