“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”

UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry's report shows #Israel has committed #genocide in #Gaza.

[Al Jazeera Investigates @AJ_Investigates]

Our @AJIunit investigation exposes war crimes in Gaza through the medium of photos and videos posted online by Israeli soldiers themselves during the year-long conflict.

Watch the full film here. #GazaCrimes

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

Today is the 75th Anniversary of the Geneva Conventions. Israel ratified the 4th Geneva Convention (protecting civilians) in 1951, and has systematically violated virtually every provision ever since. Other parties are obliged by the convention to act to stop Israel’s violations. Those that do not are in breach of their legal obligations, and have no moral standing to criticize any other party in this or any other conflict. #Shame

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Israel has detonated the equivalent of 5 and a half Hiroshima bombs in a strip of land the size of East London.

Suggesting Israel’s mass slaughter is caused by Hamas or anyone else is straightforward atrocity denial.

Very important by Judge Charlesworth:

"under customary international law, the population in the occupied territory does not owe allegiance to the occupying Power, and that it is not precluded from using force in accordance with international law to resist the occupation"

"In relation to Israels military operations in Gaza, we conclude that Israeli authorities are responsible for war crimes.. including extermination.. murder, using starvation as a method of war, forcible transfer.."

The UN Human Rights Council report published today is damning.

Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak have bombed Yemen more than 400 times within a single month.

400+ airstrikes. In one month. On one of the poorest countries in the world.

All this to protect Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

PRESS RELEASE: the #ICJ issues its decision on South Africa’s request for additional provisional measures in the case of Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (#SouthAfrica v. #Israel) https://t.co/dh9olqXtD9

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

All states have a duty under international law to act to stop genocide. Yemen did so by blocking shipping to the offending regime. The US is now bombing them for daring to interfere with the US-supported genocide in Gaza. There is your “rules-based order.”

[The Presidency 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA]

"With your permission I will clarify what is self defense under international law, so that everyone can understand why there is NOT such a thing that Israel can claim."
Francesca Albanese, UN Rapporteur for Palestine

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

A rare opportunity to listen to the voice of Palestine, unfiltered - as it was heard in the UN. Every one of its eleven minutes is worth it.

[Accountability Unit @AU_Feed]

The int'l crime of genocide has become subject to intense contestation in its application. Clear lines of interpretation exist on its nature/scope. Our legal primer by @Aarif_Abraham provides clarification in hope term is fairly & properly applied.
