Watch and listen to every word. The @StateDept looks absolutely clownish claiming the case is "meritless" in the face of an near endless stream of genocidal calls from Israeli leaders and officials.
For a quick primer on South Africa’s case charging Israel with genocide - @SeanMac_R & I share an overview of the ICJ, the arguments, counterarguments,& what to expect next in @jacobin.

Today South Africa will present their genocide case against the Israeli government at the @CIJ_ICJ. I submitted the entire case to the Congressional Record.
Let me read directly from the case file so @SecBlinken can hear from Israeli officials in their own words, not mine:
Four members of the Palestine Red Crescent ambulance crews (PRCS EMS) in duty were killed today, when their ambulance was hit on Salah al-Din Street at the entrance of Deir al-Balah in the middle of the Gaza Strip. This is unacceptable. And I strongly condemn their killing.
I express my profound sadness & send my deepest condolences to those who lost their loved ones & to our colleagues at @PalestineRCS.
Protection of patients and health care workers is not negotiable. They must never be targeted.

The Africa Loss and Damage Network (ALADAN) were in Lund between 1-4, June. We had a very productive meeting. Some of us reconnected again, while for others, this was the first time meeting in person. Exciting research and policy work coming soon.
A Mauritian "activist" felt emboldened in sharing his unabashed misogyny on FB. A bunch of Mauritian feminists flocked in and flooded his post with bikini GIFs 🤣 I'm dying. Who said feminists weren't funny? The guy actually deleted his post, he was scorched with a 3rd deg BURN
Africa has responded swiftly and decisively to #COVID19.
Even so, the pandemic threatens the continent's progress.

#COVID19 has exposed the fragilities of our world – with the vulnerable suffering the most.
Eradicating poverty and achieving the #GlobalGoals has never been more challenging, urgent & necessary.

#COVID19 does not care who we are, where we live, or what we believe.
Yet the pandemic continues to unleash a tsunami of hate and xenophobia, scapegoating and scare-mongering.
That’s why I’m appealing for an all-out effort to end hate speech globally.
Pollution in Delhi had risen to hazardous levels. After the lockdown initiated, it has dropped significantly. I guess this is nature’s way of telling us to slowdown. #SaturdayThoughts
