See thread. Very helpful in unpacking new ICJ rulings on Israel and its failures to implement Court rulings Re genocide convention.

THREAD: On 28 March the International Court of Justice issued a new ruling (“Order”) in the case known as Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in The Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel).

@Strandjunker Completely agree.

@FlipsterCm @Angry_Staffer I have often thought this is at the bottom of Trump’s craziness: that he is implicated and terrified of being exposed.

This is what real political courage looks like: Israeli member of the Knesset Ofer Cassif joins the lawsuit against Israel at the ICJ in the Hague.

Here is what he wrote to explain his decision:

"My constitutional duty is to Israeli society and all its residents, not to a government whose members and its coalition are calling for ethnic cleansing and even actual genocide.

Those who hurt the country and the people are the ones who led South Africa to turn to The Hague, not me and my friends.

I will not give up the struggle for our existence as a moral society. That is true patriotism - not wars of revenge and calls for destruction, not unnecessary bloodshed, and not the sacrifice of civilians and soldiers in futile wars."

And he is 100% right.

@politico This is not “game theory” or “war games”. “The Squad” is a group of women who are elected lawmakers with vision. Pls don’t do this media us v them. Focus on the issues.

International Day for women human rights Defenders are more at risk of suffering certain forms of violence.
Respect and support for all womxn human rights Defenders is essential. It is prudent that we recognize the works of LBQWomen in advocating for human rights.This is a win

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Anyone who knows the International Committee of the Red Cross knows that their official policy is to never speak out (https://t.co/pGX2wTwQKs)

Which is why such a statement by the ICRC president is so exceptional, and why you should listen.

Here's what she says:

"The things I saw [in the European Gaza hospital] is beyond anything that anyone should be in a position to described.

What shocked me the most were the children, with atrocious injuries and at the same time having lost their parents with no-one looking after them.

We are facing a situation here that will not be healed by sending in more trucks. We need to provide protection to the civilians in Gaza, to the women and children, to the elderly people that I saw today that have nowhere to go...

We have to find solutions to this. We can't turn away from what is evidently a moral failure in the face of the international community."
