More than 30,000 Palestinians were injured, many of them permanently, as a result of Israel's appalling use of live fire against unarmed protesters during Gaza's Great March of Return
More than 150 Palestinians lost limbs because they were shot by the "IDF" during Great March of Return protests. There's been zero accountability, as @pchrgaza and @btselem state in a new report btselem.org/publications/2…
Meanwhile, the Israeli military killed Iyad Salha, who used a wheelchair, along with his pregnant wife and their toddler daughter when it bombed their Gaza home during May electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-…
Israeli police infamously executed Iyad Hallaq as he was walking to a school for adults with disabilities in Jerusalem last year. It has carried on with its shoot-to-kill policy against Palestinians, whose blood continues to be spilled in the city streets electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-…

This is a useful read in light of DSA Street: "Acquiescence to the phenomenon known as Progressive Except for Palestine can only win hollow victories" electronicintifada.net/content/winnin…
"Campaigners must never lose sight that their aim is to change consciousness and announce the ascent of a new political consensus in support of the Palestinian freedom struggle."
During May, someone on this bird app rightly stated that BDS is the floor, not the ceiling of solidarity. If your supposedly progressive politician doesn't support BDS then they're not actually progressive or an ally.

Fauci treats Israel's failure to uphold its obligations under international law as a "political question." He's endorsing medical apartheid by overlooking Israel's refusal to vaccinate the millions of Palestinians living under its military rule. What a coward.
He's letting himself be used as a propaganda tool by accepting the Dan David prize and touting Israel's apartheid vaccination campaign like this.

My quick thoughts on the big and welcome news that an ICC pre-trial chamber has affirmed that the court has jurisdiction in the West Bank and Gaza:
Asking for a ruling on jurisdiction was an optional exercise and the chief prosecutor could have opened an investigation a year ago. The situation in Palestine only deteriorated during that time.
It’s a major victory for the rule of law. A war crimes investigation in Palestine will be a test of the court’s credibility, as heretofore it has only prosecuted African nationals.
