@andyburnham If thousands get murdered at a music festival, raped and murdered in their homes in the UK, kids strangled to death and over 250 innocent civilians get kidnapped and taken underground, you can sit round and sing Kumbaya and support the terrorists who did it. Fkin disgrace

@ZackPolanski You’ve done NOTHING for the Jewish community. NO solidarity with the community, NO visit to Golders Green, And you criticise the police for use of force? Anyone who wants to murder Jews is mentally unstable. Fkin bottle job disgrace you are

@krassenstein Mind blowing. Protesting in support of a regime that would have slaughtered every single one of them. Especially the far left / liberals , without a second to pause. There is a totally fked up cloud of fog poisoning the minds of the west and all of our values. Absolute disgrace

@BernieSanders Go to bed. You bring zero nuance to any argument. And you are on the wrong side of history

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

I say this as gently as I know how, because it seems to me unforgivably obvious.

You cannot simultaneously build a strong international law system while also hating the West. International law is a Western idea born of a particular Western historical, cultural and political experience.

And because God loves irony, no one exemplifies this fact more than the evil regime whose travails since yesterday have sparked so much legalistic hand-wringing.

Both Khamenei himself and his teacher and predecessor Khomeini consistently and explicitly rejected international law as a tool of "global arrogance" (estekbar-e jahani) — i.e., of powerful secularist, individualistic democracies. Khamenei was even more explicit, routinely declaring legal frameworks like UN conventions as "colonial" traps.

These declarations weren’t marginal to their ideology. They were fundamental planks of the regime’s political theology.

I’ll say this, again, as gently as I can: The fact that international law and international institutions have transformed in practice into a system that more often than not runs defense for the most virulent and explicit enemies of said law might have something to do with their decline as an organizing framework of international affairs.

For example, when UN agencies and international institutions target Israel more than Iran, or more than China, Iran and Russia put together, or more than all the dictatorships and wars in the world combined — they’re doing more harm to the law than to Israel.

Similarly, it matters that so many of international law’s loudest spokespeople had nothing to say about Khamenei’s crimes just six weeks ago, but swung into action only when Khamenei’s long reign of terror was finally brought to an end.

That’s not law. It’s the opposite of law.

International law can be saved, but only if its scholars and practitioners grow up and shed the instinctive anti-Westernism and racist paternalism of the present-day academy. When international law is no longer seen by its own practitioners primarily as an instrument for containing, weakening and delegitimizing the West, but becomes genuinely about actual law, it will once again have a claim on us.

If you fail to see in Khamenei the bitter foe of international law that he was, if in the midst of your legitimate critique of a war you can’t summon at least a little joy that this avowed enemy of your purported moral system is dead and gone, then you haven’t actually been fighting for international law.

@ZackPolanski You are a total DRAK who sides with those reflecting the worst of humanity instead of defending those who scream freedom from oppression. How very liberal of you. Wanker

@SkyNews @SkyYaldaHakim Hey @SkyYaldaHakim - Ask your mates if any of the aid has made it’s way to the underground dungeons and to the hostages who have been denied access to the Red Cross or any food for over 600 days. Thanks

[Sam Shaw 🎗️ @SamShawMUSIC]

@jeremycorbyn The man of peace who never did anything constructive to achieve peace and constructive dialogue. The main who ignores the dozens of peace deals that have been put on the table. Mr revisionist - Release the hostages. Go back to bed
