1. Now that even @nytimes cannot hide the effect of Israel-made starvation, it is important to remind all those who are "appalled" now, that they should have been appalled earlier. Here is what the ICC said in the arrest warrants of Nov 2024 re Israel's conduct till 20 May 2024: 2. "that both individuals intentionally and knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival, including food, water, and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity, from at least 8 October 2023 to 20 May 2024" Image

Do not forget the ideological mindset, including his government's guiding principles in Dec 2022. Bibi is not merely an opportunist, but also a racist and an extremist. Image

The ICJ is failing Palestine like it failed Bosnia.

1. What is the point of the @CIJ_ICJ? Despite the urgency, they are yet to issue their opinion on Israel's obligations towards the UN, including its humanitarian organisations, in Palestine. 2. The timid states did not want to do anything concrete to pressure Israel so they went to the UNGA to refer Israel to the @CIJ_ICJ and then their lawyers made forceful speeches. They passed the ball to the court and the court is dragging its feet.

1. Notice how genocide-deniers/ Zionist propagandists are simply rehashing same claims we've heard since Jan. 2024, as if nothing has happened since then? Image 2. See, e.g., how Stephens dismisses genocidal statements as simply "furious comments in the wake of Oct. 7 atrocities" when we have over 650 days of statements of intent. See South Africa, 227 p. dossier,

It was clear from the start and all the way: a reminder of some Israel statements of intent 🧵

1. "Gaza won’t return to what it was before. We will eliminate everything." Yoav Gallant, 10 October 2023. Image 2. "we will not allow humanitarian assistance in the form of food and medicines from our territory to the Gaza Strip." PM Netanyahu, 18 October 2023 gov.il/en/pages/pm-ne…Image

One way to support @FranceskAlbs is to read, circulate, cite, quote, and teach the rigorous reports she has written on self-determination, carceral system, child rights, genocide, and corporate complicity. Here is a list: 1) Sep. 2022: "The violations described in this report expose the nature of Israeli occupation: an intentionally acquisitive, segregationist & repressive regime designed to prevent the realization of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination"

In Haaretz Hebrew, 22 May, former Israeli PM Olmert says he used to think that the mass killing of civilians in Gaza was a result of a "tragic war" & he denied the charges of genocide & war crimes, but now he thinks: it is an intentional annihilation. archive.ph/3vvOiImage Olmert: "What is happening in the Gaza Strip in recent weeks has nothing to do with a legitimate war goal. Our fighters are being sent by the state leadership — and the army leadership that obeys it... in an illegitimate military campaign." Image

Those who are surprised by Yair Golan's comments ("killing babies as a hobby"), or are inclined to dismiss Feiglin as a marginal figure, have not been being attention. Search the word "children" in South Africa's submission to UNSC in Feb 2025: 🧵/1 2. Recall that Netanyahu, Gallant framed it from the start as a war against the "children of darkness" and that endless statements by politicians, soldiers, journalists, public figures repeatedly proclaimed: there are no innocents in Gaza, where the majority is children.

The Guardian, 18 months late: "What is this, if not genocidal?"
theguardian.com/commentisfree/… "International law moves slowly, and signatories to the convention, including the US and UK, are required not only to punish but to prevent genocide. The court of public opinion is reaching its own conclusion."

So why did you wait till now?

Israel said it will "burn", "erase", "flatten" Gaza since October 2023, but western media and western officials downplayed and ignored genocidal intent. They pretended it is a "war". Here is a NYT article on 15 November 2023. Image And here is @ChrisMcGreal on 16 October 2023 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

A thread on the statement on Israel's genocide in Gaza by @genocide_watch and the ideological limits imposed by a Zionist worldview: 1/14 It is welcome that @genocide_watch joins the increasing consensus that recognises that Israel is committing genocide. For an organisation committed to "prevention" the statement comes a year late. 2/ Image

As Israel continues its genocidal attack on North Gaza and burns Kamal Adwan hospital. Here is a reminder of the AP report in Nov on Israel's attacks on hospitals and the findings of the UN Commission of Inquiry in Oct. re systematic attack on health care: 1/5 "The AP spent months gathering accounts of the raids on al-Awda, Indonesian and Kamal Adwan Hospitals... It found that Israel has presented little or even no evidence of a significant Hamas presence..." 2
