Find time to read this quite astonishingly good piece by
@ArwaM Mahdawi. Brilliant on our government's appalling moral confusion over Gaza

"Why is Hasan Piker ‘not conducive to the public good’? Because on Gaza, we punish the witness, not the crime"

@isaacrrr7 If this Israel and this USA did not exist the world would be a better place. Look what happened last time the fascists were in charge😡

[Janet Abou-Elias @Janetabouelias]

The NYT describes Hezbollah drones "steadily hunting down Israeli soldiers and commanders... with often-lethal strikes" posted in "chilling videos."

Israel has killed 115x more people in Lebanon (3,433 vs. 29) since the start of the war. The drones get "chilling." The 3,433 Lebanese dead don't even get a mention.

@adamparsons Genuine question then Adam - what is your preferred form of words to
describe the forced displacement of around a million people and destruction of their homes and livelihoods - based on their religious or other ethnic characteristics?

Shameful
but now predictable
double-standards from Starmer

The man who thought Mandelson's close association with already convicted paedophile Epstein was a 'risk worth taking'

Starmer's is not so much a moral
compass as a weather cock - points
whichever way his donors' blow😡

Good research
Israel gaming the war crimes system to allow UK citizens to don IDF uniform, serve Israel in its brutal genocide against Palestinians & then return to UK with complete impunity

So how about Shamima Begum and the other ISIS brides?

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

Israel sought secret advice on the legal implications of UK nationals serving in its army.

Documents highlight concerns that UK nationals in the Israel Defence Forces might become liable to criminal prosecution in Britain.

“My name is Amos Goldberg. I am an Israeli Professor of Holocaust Studies. For nearly 30 years I have researched and taught the Holocaust, genocide and state violence.

And I want to tell whoever is willing to listen that what’s happening now in Gaza is a genocide.

A year ago when October 7th happened, like all Israelis I was in shock. It was a war crime and a crime against humanity. 1200 people - more than 800 of them civilians - were killed in one day. Children and the elderly were among those taken hostage. Communities were destroyed. It was outrageous, traumatizing, personal. Like most Israelis, I know people who were killed, who lost loved ones or whose loved ones were taken hostage.

But immediately afterwards came Israel’s response and within weeks thousands of civilians were killed in Gaza. It took me some time to digest what was unfolding before my eyes. It was agonizing to confront that reality. I was reluctant to call it a genocide.

But if you read Raphael Lemkin – the Jewish-Polish legal scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ and was the major driving force behind the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention – what is happening in Gaza now is exactly what he had in mind when he spoke about genocide.

It does not need to look like the Holocaust to be a genocide. Each genocide looks different and not all involve killing of millions or the entire group. The United Nations Genocide Convention explicitly asserts that genocide is the act of deliberately destroying a group in whole or in part. Those are the words.

But there does need to be a clear intent.

And indeed, there are clear indications of intent to destroy Gaza: Israel’s leaders - including the prime minister and the minister of defence - and many high-ranking military officers, media personalities, rabbis, as well as ordinary soldiers were very open about what they wanted to achieve. There were countless documented incitements to turn the whole of Gaza into rubble and claims that there are no innocent people living there.

A radical atmosphere of dehumanization of the Palestinians prevails in Israeli society to an extent that I can’t remember in my 58 years of living here.

Now that vision has been enacted. Tens of thousands of innocent children, women and men have been killed. Over a hundred thousand were wounded. There is a near total destruction of infrastructure, intentional starvation and blocking of humanitarian aid. There are mass graves and reliable testimony of summary executions. Children that were shot by snipers. All the universities and almost all hospitals are gone. Almost all the population is displaced. There have been numerous bombings of civilians in so-called ‘safe zones’. Gaza does not exist anymore. It is completely destroyed. Thus, the outcome fits perfectly with the stated intentions of Israel’s leadership.

Lemkin - that scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ - described two phases of a genocide. The first is the destruction of the annihilated group and the second is what he called ‘imposition of the national pattern’ of the perpetrator. We are now witnessing the second phase as Israel prepares ethnically cleansed areas for Israeli settlements.

And therefore, I have come to the conclusion that this is exactly what a genocide looks like. We don’t teach about genocides in order to realize it retrospectively. We teach about it in order to prevent it and to stop it.

But like in every other case of genocide in history right now we have mass denial. Both here in Israel and around the world.

But reality cannot be denied.

So yes, it is a genocide.

And once you come to this conclusion you cannot remain silent.”

Yvette Cooper criticising Iran for closing the strait of Hormuz

Yvette Cooper did not criticise the US and Israel for their illegal - according to the UN - attack on Iran which led to the closing of the strait of Hormuz

Your reminder that Yvette Cooper has such awful judgment that her flagship policy as Home Secretary saw her proscribe a protest group and the UK's High Court said it was unlawful

Yvette Cooper in opposition was a star, in office, so very disappointing
