"the academic debate is made of rules that must be respected" - feedback from a journal submission (rejected)

[Chris Doyle @Doylech]

A busy airbase that for a year has been helping Israel commit a genocide in Gaza. A disgrace.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

If one includes both direct & indirect deaths from Israel's assault, the death toll in Gaza goes up to 186,000 people, according to the medical journal @TheLancet. That's 1 in every 12 Gaza inhabitants killed in the last 9 months of genocide.

Grenfell is a story of deregulation, privatisation & state violence. Its roots can be traced back to some very specific policies of the 1980s onward which favoured profit over safety. It is not just a story of relentless negligence, but carefully designed, dangerous policymaking

[Chris Doyle @Doylech]

Dear @Keir_Starmer Do you think it is in any acceptable for one of your candidates to support war crimes? Settlements in Occupied Territory are war crimes, a violation of the Rome Statute (incl West Bank & Golan, both of which are occupied territory)

[Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention @LemkinInstitute]

The Lemkin Institute has had it with the cynical lies and propaganda from Israel and the USA. One can have different views about the definition of genocide, but one may not use definitional disputes to deny genocide. If a genocide may be occurring, every nation is compelled by customary law to try to stop it.

Let us be clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The US is complicit in genocide. These are not political statements. They are statements that are made from knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, you do not need a PhD , a law degree, or X-ray vision to see the genocidal dimensions of Israel’s carnage in Gaza. It is clear in the behavior of the state and its military, on full display in yesterday’s horrific bombardment of a Rafah camp.

But even if there were legitimate doubts about Israel’s genocide, there is no doubt that Israel is committing atrocity crimes of the most barbaric kind. Israel must be stopped. Israel must be stopped now.

We are disgusted by Western leaders, especially in the USA, Germany, and the UK. They have demonstrated not only that they don’t care one bit about genocide prevention and human rights, but also that they are willing to allow an ally to commit atrocity crimes while they offer material and diplomatic support. It is reprehensible and the individuals involved in this gaslighting campaign should be deeply ashamed. They should also be put on trial.

Humanity has a choice: Either we decide that our children can all be killed whenever a superior force alleges that “terrorists” are among us, or we decide that under no circumstances will we allow these superior forces to lay waste to our world any longer.

We each must choose and act accordingly. The watershed moment is now.

[Ben Smoke @bencsmoke]

if there were ever a photo to demonstrate starmer’s moral vacuum, it’s this of him welcoming a woman who, along with demonising migrant communities and voting to criminalise abortion, used parliamentary privilege to harass judges in her husbands sexual assault trial to labour.

[Rohan Talbot @rohantalbot]

"His decomposed body was found today, identified through the uniform of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, which was supposed to provide him with protection."

RIP Mohammed Abed, one of >470 health workers killed by Israel in Gaza.

[Rohan Talbot @rohantalbot]

Gaza is in ruins. More than 30,000 have been killed, two million are starving. Executions, torture and massacres have been widely reported. Images of dead, injured and terrified children have flooded social media. And yet our political class effectively shrug their shoulders (1/)

[dr shelley angelie saggar @j4lebi]

Next week marks 1 year since my cousin’s death. Our family want to thank all those who have supported us during what has been an unimaginably difficult time.

We will be giving updates over the next few days. Please help us share our story, our fight is far from over.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

We have seen the destruction of Gaza play out in our feeds for months, but to see it visualized this way is a calamity and a crime I cannot fathom.

May these images forever haunt the Israelis, Americans and their band of fellow genocidaires.

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

I am sure some readers will find this article offensive, but that is precisely the point: Language comparing Zionists to Nazis is scrutinized—even penalized—more than the government policies & military actions that beg for the analogy to be made. https://t.co/7zZBzkpfuq

[Benny Hunter @BennnyH]

I've largely been disengaged from the political debate on the Rwanda (is safe) Bill or whatever they're calling it.

I attended the funeral of an asylum-seeker I personally knew, who had died by suicide, end of last year. This is my third such funeral. All I can really say.

[Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸 @itranslate123]

If I must die, let it be a tale.

#FreePalestine
#Gaza

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

Devastating to hear that Benjamin Zephaniah has passed. As a writer, activist and patron of PSC he always stood steadfast with the Palestinian people and fought against racism and for justice for all his life.

Rest in Power ✊🇵🇸

[Ben Smoke @bencsmoke]

it is grossly inappropriate for the ‘strictly non-partisan speaker of the house’ to visit israel at a time of such fierce national debate over their actions in gaza. this man can no longer claim the authority to objectively and fairly chair the house on debates on palestine.

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

Telephone and internet communications with #Gaza appear to have been shut off. We are currently unable to get in touch with any of our colleagues there, while heavy bombardment has been reported.
