TRIGGERING! 🧵Testimony of N.A., a mother, who was detained in Gaza & repeatedly raped by Israeli soldiers, as documented by @pchrgaza: "The soldiers moved me to a place I didn’t know because my eyes were blindfolded, and they ordered me to take off my clothes. I did so. 1/6
They put me on a metal table, pressed my chest & head against it, cuffed my hands to the end of the bed, & pulled my legs apart forcefully. I felt a penis penetrating my anus and a man raping me. I started screaming, and they beat me on my back & head while I was blindfolded. 2/6
I felt the man who was raping me ejaculate inside my anus. I kept screaming and being beaten & I could hear a camera- so I believe they were filming me. The rape lasted about 10 minutes. After that, they left me for an hour in the same position with my hands cuffed to the bed 3/6
after an hour, I was raped fully in the same position, with penetration into my vagina & I was beaten while I screamed. There were several soldiers; I heard them laughing & the camera clicking as it took pictures. This rape was very quick and there was no ejaculation. 4/6
a masked soldier entered, removed my blindfold, lifted his face covering; he had white skin and was tall. He asked if I spoke English; I said no. He said he was Russian and ordered me to masturbate his penis. I refused, and he hit me in the face after raping me. 5/6
On 1st day I was raped twice; on 2nd day I was raped twice; on 3rd day I remained without clothes while they looked at me through the door slit and filmed me." 1 soldier said they would post my photos on social media. More harrowing testimonies: 6/6pchrgaza.org/pchr-documents…

A 🧵on recognition of Palestine: Israel and the US are angry at France, the UK, Canada & up to 15 other Western states that plan to recognize Palestine at the UN General Assembly next September. That is very telling in of itself but it’s not as clear cut as one might think 👇 1/
Before these announcements, the majority of states in the world already recognize Palestine. 🇫🇷🇬🇧🇨🇦 & others are late. Recognition of 🇵🇸 is also a debt owed because these states carved up Palestine & gave more than half of it away in 1947 at the UN without Palestine’s consent 2/ Image
In UK’s case, the debt is far heavier, extending to 1917 when Sir Balfour promised Palestine away to the Zionist movement & referred to the indigenous Palestinian people as “non-Jewish communities” who would have “civil & religious” rights, launching the erasure of 🇵🇸 3/ Image

Israel is upset about the Trump administration’s direct talks with Hamas. It’s NOT because these talks are substantive or political but rather because it pits the White House in the driving seat and removes Israeli hegemony over the process. 1/10
As far as we can tell, US-Hamas talks are about the ceasefire. The Trump administration wants to secure the release of captives in exchange for calm and humanitarian aid. This is not a fundamental departure from the Witkoff proposal that Hamas objected to. 2/10
Let’s remember that in his first term, Trump talked to North Korea and the Taliban. Those talks create a political u turn, just a tactical upset that was as unconventional as the man himself. They achieved tactical goals and gave Trump what he craves: headlines & optics. 3/10

🧵 on Netanyahu’s address to Congress. 1st observation is the thunderous applause this man received upon entry to the People’s House as it’s called. Important to remind that the Prosecutor of the ICC is pursuing for arrest for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity 1/
Netanyahu invokes the racist trope of “culture of death” vs. “culture of life”. To standing ovations, Netanyahu: US & Israel must stand together because when they do, they win. He called the attack that rescued 4 captives & slaughtered 120 Palestinians “breathtaking”2/
Netanyahu: we’re engaged in active efforts to release hostages. (Note: Netanyahu delayed the dispatch of his negotiators to Doha). 11 standing ovations so far. ELEVEN. Including two to an Israeli soldier. 3/

🧵On ICJ ruling on Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian Territory. The Court finds it has jurisdiction over the issue & rejects arguments made by a handful of states to the contrary & considers arguments that it would negatively impact negotiations as theoretical. 1/
President of the ICJ goes over other legal aspects pertaining to questions forwarded by the UN General Assembly on the issue and defines parameters of the ruling it will deliver. 2/
While saying that Gaza is an integral part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and that Israel is under the law the occupying power, the ICJ will not address events after October 7 there (question before the Court was put forward by the UNGA before those events) 3/

Day 2 of ICJ hearings on additional provisional measures to stop the genocide. Israel is delivering its argument. Thoughts & comments here 👇🧵
First the whining: Israel had very little time to review the 10-page request of South Africa. Israel is taking measures to alleviate the humanitarian situation in Gaza (a lie debunked by absolutely everyone). Israel is conducting a moral war against 'Khamas'.
Then the smear: South Africa is an ally of 'Khamas', it's manipulating the law and the Court to serve its ally 'khamas'. South Africa is just defending 'Khamas'. Israel is fighting 'a jihadist terrorist organization' that uses Palestinians as human shields.

Day 1 of the second public ICJ hearing on the genocide case against Israel, where South Africa will argue why the Court needs to issue additional preventive measures & amend the orders (2) it issued in January & March. I will post thoughts & analysis in this 👇 🧵
ICJ already accepted South Africa's case vs Israel for violating the Genocide Convention so Israel already stands accused of committing genocide & will stand trial for that in coming months (what's called the merits case). This hearing is about provisional measures in the interim
The ICJ issued 2 sets of provisional measures (on 26/1 & on 28/3). Today's hearing comes in light of 🇮🇱 invasion of Rafah. South Africa is requesting that 🇮🇱 withdraw from Rafah & end offensive, allow access to UN & humanitarian officials, journalists & fact-finding commissions
