Absolutely extraordinary exchange between Israel and China 👇 I've never seen such a heated exchange come out of top-level forum in China (this is from the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum that started yesterday), this normally never happens.
The guy speaking is Yan Xuetong, the dean of the Institute of International Relations at Tsinghua University, the most prestigious university in China.
Speaking for Israel is a military officer apparently called Elad Shoshan.
Yan Xuetong truly doesn't hold back:
- When the Israeli officer tries to bullshit him around how Israel supposedly protects civilians in Gaza, he replies: "You killed more than 70,000 civilians!... The fact is not decided by you... It is not decided by your government. Your government has no legitimacy or the right to decide or defend what is fact"
- And when told that the war will end when Hamas release hostages he replies: "No, this kind of propaganda have too many. No one believe it! Too many! Too much! No one believe it, except a few Israelis"
The International Association of Genocide Scholars passed a resolution stating Israel's actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide under the 1948 UN Genocide Convention https://t.co/qmmlkvYxxu

For @HaitianTimes_, the answer is @NewspackPub. Hear from Editor-in-Chief Vania André on how migrating to Newspack helped boost donations by 114% and keeps these vital stories coming.
Here's the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for:
"As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

@meligeni@meligeni Uma coisa que me chamou atenção na fala dele pós jogo: em nenhum momento ele pareceu surpreso. Muitos no lugar deles diriam "nossa, nem acredito no que está acontecendo"... ele nunca duvidou.
O caso dos 112 palestinos mortos na hora da ajuda humanitária é uma das maiores - se não a maior - atrocidade desde o 07/10. Mais assustador do que o caso em si (que já é estrondoso), é a repercussão aqui em Israel. Segue o 🧵.
"Estamos vivendo uma tragédia horrível. Somos impotentes diante do que está acontecendo. Mas eu digo: testemunhe! Vamos resistir, não vamos esquecer. Coragem para encarar de frente"
Edgar Morin, 102 anos, lava nossa alma com a fala mais lúcida sobre o genocídio palestino hoje.
