https://twitter.com/romanhelmetguy/status/1948812848852779303I was looking for non-Euro-American actors implementing the laws of war in the 19th Century. One of the key arguments I make in my dissertation is that 19th Century laws of war were really, literally, *laws* in plural, with different parts of the world adopting different readings
https://twitter.com/elliotmalin/status/1948747766190211478If this was “just” Israeli leadership making genocidal statements, what we’d have is a “risk” of genocide, demonstrated by the leadership’s “incitement”. But the idea that this neat division can exist in practice is absurd given what we know irl.

https://twitter.com/eyakoby/status/1943439161773690894People like Eyal want to simply state “they are savages that only understand violence”. Mamdani is saying “wait a minute, these people aren’t just insane, there’s modern political concerns that we need to understand to explain why someone would transform themselves into a weapon”

These zones emptied large portions of Gaza, that were then systematically demolished to create “buffer zones” and prevent people from returning
https://twitter.com/afalkhatib/status/1937350625513365948The more complex reality is that the brutalities Israel has subjected Palestinians to are always held at a different standard than the atrocities committed by Iran against its own population. Something @afalkhatib himself does, as shown by his recent @jubileemedia

https://twitter.com/alonso_gd/status/1935843724992323840I’ve said this many times before: this isn’t about Israel per se. Israel is not important or relevant as a place or location. The reason why it matters is Zionism is a 19th C remnant of extreme coloniality in the 21st C and I oppose coloniality on principle -and genocide ofc
