If the phrase "from the river to the sea" is inherent incitement to genocide (as I have heard many people argue) then #Israel is calling for the #genocide of the Palestinians.
* For the record, I think this phrase needs to be carefully considered in context, whether used by Jewish Israelis or Palestinians. Where it gets dicey, of course, is if it is understood to mean that the "other" group is to be wiped out.
Whether or not Netanyahu is intending to incite violence against Palestinians through this phrase, it does indicate (at minimum) that Netanyahu categorically denies any right to Palestinian self-determination.
I also do wonder what political negotiation is supposed to take place between Palestinians and Netanyahu, when he fundamentally denies the right of Palestine to exist? He is a bad faith actor who is causing tremendous harm to Israel and Palestine.

#Ongwen will soon be delivering his unsworn statement (at the start of the defence arguments in the sentencing hearings). I would imagine the main goal is to produce empathy for Ongwen's experience by putting the judges/public inside his perspective. #ICC
#Ongwen's speech is planned for around 45 minutes, followed by Obhof, then Ayena. #ICC
#Ongwen removing his mask and standing to speak (maybe he will sit after a while on account of his injured leg...) #ICC

The most interesting aspect of day 1 of the #Ongwen sentencing hearings was the clearly divergent perspectives between the prosecution and victims. #ICC 🧵
Common Legal Representative for Victims Paolina Massidda was shaking her head while the prosecution said: #Ongwen's crimes "would normally warrant a sentence at the very highest level available under the Rome Statute - 30 years or even life imprisonment" #ICC
The prosecution addressed the victims' reps saying that participating victims have recommended such a sentence "and we share their desire for justice and we respect their views. In another case, against another Accused, we might well agree with their recommendation." #ICC #Ongwen

🧵I've now had a look at the sentencing briefs in #Ongwen, which offer some new perspectives. (Victims: icc-cpi.int/CourtRecords/C…; Prosecution: icc-cpi.int/CourtRecords/C…; and Defence: icc-cpi.int/CourtRecords/C…). The starkest contrast seems to be between the victims and defence. #ICC
The victims (who submitted a joint brief) are recommending a life sentence, the prosecution 20 years, and the defence 10 years (if #Ongwen is not released to undergo Mato Oput).
The Victims' brief is categorical in condemning #Ongwen, arguing that "no mitigating circumstances apply in the present case" and that victims fear that once Ongwen is released, he would "rejoin the LRA...and perpetrate crimes against the communities once again." #ICC

Things to look for in the #Ongwen verdict (relying partly on input from people familiar w/ the trial that I cannot cite):
1. I think it quite likely Ongwen will be convicted of many of the charges. The Prosecution case was well-executed and evidence is (largely) strong.
#ICC
2. Areas where the evidence is weaker/contradictory: the attack on Pajule. Ongwen may have been in "sick bay" (LRA field hospital) nursing an injury, and may not have had control over the attack. #Ongwen #ICC
3. Persecution, which requires discriminatory intent to be tied to each individual attack. The Prosecution's argument is that the persecuted group was political - sympathizers/collaborators of the Ugandan government. This may be tricky to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. #Ongwen
