Either way this is gonna be historic.
If the court says there is ‘no risk of genocide,’ then Israel will know it can continue murdering innocent civilians under cover of international law, and it will empower tyrants and dictators the world over for years to come. In short, this bleak, broken world of ours will become even darker, even more dangerous.
If they rule to stop Israel, it unequivocally shows Israel cannot ethnically cleanse Gaza, and means US military support has to end (as they are subject to ICJ rulings, being a UN member), or at least change form, and so this could be a big step towards a free and sovereign Palestinian state.
It’s so big, I can’t help but think the Empire will win and humanity will lose—but Israel’s guilt is so obvious to anyone reading and watching along, and the cost so great in terms of precedents set, that I cling to glimmers of hope in spite of myself.
Please, fuck, please let justice prevail.
🇿🇦 In her concluding remarks, Adila Hassim says that “all of these acts, individually and collectively, form a calculated pattern of conduct by Israel indicating a genocidal intent,” and urges prompt intervention from the court.
“In the Gambia and Myanmar case, this court did not hesitate to impose provisional measures (...) the facts before the court today are, sadly, even more stark, and—like the Gambia and Myanmar case—deserve and demand this court's intervention.”
“EVERY DAY there is mounting, irreparable loss of life, property, dignity, and humanity for the Palestinian people. Our news feeds show graphic images of suffering that has become unbearable to watch.”
“Nothing will stop the suffering except an order from this court. Without an indication of provisional measures, the atrocities will continue, with the [IDF] indicating that it intends pursuing this course of action for a least a year.”
Skammarlegt að Ísland hafi setið hjá í kröfu um mannúðarhlè á Gaza. Mannúðarhlé er algert lágmark, lægsti mögulegi samnefnari mannúðar og samkenndar. Hugleysi þessarar ríkisstjórnar gerir okkur samsek, kallar yfir okkur skömm og skrifar okkur á ranga blaðsíðu í sögunni.
men who play devil's advocate in arguments where they have no stake in the topic and can remain calm while the other person gets emotional and then think they have won should be sent to space
Þetta eru stórhættuleg skilaboð. Það þarf að draga alla sem komu að skipulagi þessa viðburðar til ábyrgðar, svara fyrir hvernig þau ætla að bæta fyrir þetta og laga þessa viðbjóðslegu ofbeldismenningu sem þrífst þarna. Þetta er ekki húmor, þetta er ofbeldi og rasismi.
Our first Christmas as parents (2020): Yes we're trying to minimize consumerism and screen time, so please stick to wooden toys without batteries
Our second Christmas with two kids (2022): Yeah they like anything related to Paw Patrol, which we watch 12 hours a day
@KristrunEmilia Omg já?? 2 ára dóttir mín bylti sér í rúminu okkar frá 03:50 til 05:40, á meðan 4 ára bróðir hennar vildi bara spjalla við pabba sinn upp í koju?? Ég er mjög þreytt??
Hversu óttasleginn er fatlaður einstaklingur sem er ruslað upp í bíl til að vera sendur í flug til Grikklands?
Þetta er óboðleg, fullkomlega ógeðsleg meðferð á manneskju. Skammist ykkar.
hvað er Í GANGI @katrinjak
I'm baffled by people tweeting in support of Evan Rachel Wood who say she's ~not another Amber Heard~ and that ERW is actually credible.
Y'all know that Johnny Depp and Marilyn Manson are best friends, right? Y'all know that Manson has learned from Depp's strategy?
