A 🧵 of key takeaways from my @intifada analysis of the new @amnesty report on Israeli apartheid, with some additional thoughts sprinkled in electronicintifada.net/content/what-m… Israel has reacted to it “hysterically” (as one @Haaretz headline put it) in a way that it didn’t to similar reports by @HRW and @BTselem

When you can't refute the message, criminalize the messenger and smear them as terrorists Israel and its proxies and allies succeeded in the international criminalization of Palestinian political parties that rightly rejected the Oslo surrender and refused to accept Israel's colonial rule

I hope this statement from the Israeli military on its "investigation" into the death of Omar Assad is submitted as evidence to the ICC re. Israel's sham self-investigations idfanc.activetrail.biz/ANC3101202205 "The investigation determined that upon his release, the soldiers did not identify signs of distress or other suspicious signs concerning Assad’s health.

Fauci treats Israel's failure to uphold its obligations under international law as a "political question."

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.
