What a strong conclusive paragraph in the new request by 🇿🇦!
This day is marked in history whether you like it or not, and several generations will look back.
As I see it, SA is giving a last chance to the ICJ.
As Israel attacks #Rafah, the Gaza city where an estimated 1.3 million Palestinians are seeking refuge, most of them internally displaced, the @LemkinInstitute reiterates that the Biden Administration (@POTUS) is complicit in genocide and must take immediate steps to prevent further destruction, loss of life, and displacement in Gaza and the West Bank.

Thirty-nine genocide scholars have warned that if the Great Nicobar mega-project goes ahead, the uncontacted Shompen people will be wiped out. https://t.co/iTkzngj081 via @Survival
Following coordinated financial threats to UNRWA, and with grave concern, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention issues the following warning to several nations about their direct involvement in the intensification of genocidal acts against the Palestinian people. We urge a reversal of course, preventative measures from global populations, and action from international legal bodies.

May more parliamentarians have the clarity and wisdom of @zarahsultana . She stands as a voice of reason, one of the few politicians to describe UK arms exports in a way that even remotely chimes with my experience of researching them for 20 years
This intervention seems designed to pre-empt any attempt to use Holocaust Memorial Day to draw attention to the Gaza genocide. Mirvis contrasts it with ‘real’ genocides like Bosnia & Rwanda, obviously unaware that denials like his were widely made in these cases too.
Tomorrow, a crucial piece of legislation around healthcare will be scrutinised by MPs.
It will happen in a committee room, away from the main chambers, on a whisper.
If it passes, it will worsen the health of the UK population.
Did you know about it? No?

I've proudly signed this statement supporting South Africa's genocide case against Israel👇
"We recognise that [the] struggles against apartheid & the racial calculus of genocide are crucial for upholding the internationalist vision of global justice"

For over a decade, my work has been about this - the ways we flatten/obscure/disenchant & obliviate some subjects while enlivening others, and untangling the varieties of the ways this is done via law. Only a substantive politics will do in light of this. A politics of attention.
Kudos South Africa - for your substantive, tightly argued 80-page charge of genocidal intent against Israel, replete with references to senior UN officials & reports. Who is next? Anyone in authority in Europe interested in promoting human rights? https://t.co/KRh5Z2dbhz
I've read South Africa's case alleging genocide against Israel.
It is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.
It feels like you're reading a gruesome historical document about how a genocide was allowed to happen, then you realise this is now.

Scorched earth colonial genocide. Zionists were clear about this from the start. Western liberals obscured & sanitised it as rational self-defence.
So much has been destroyed which cannot be replaced - life, limbs, communities.
So much is still to fight for.

#SudanNeedsProtection URGENTLY;
Reports of #SexuaViolence in #Sudan are terrifying and beyond what we can handle.
In #GeziraState, #WadMadani cases are piling up. The Janjaweed are raping women and little girls. Moving from one house to another, looking for little girls and women. Men and boys attempting to protect their daughters and wives were killed. It is exactly what happened in the #Khartoum attack and in ElGeneina During the #DarfurGenocide.

What is happening in Gaza is more than death - it is the destruction of a whole architecture of Palestinian identity through the erasure of historical heritage, art, academic, and even memory.
