Israel's genocidal intent is evidenced by the existence of a genocidal consensus since October 2023. This consensus is clear in the ongoing public production of incitement to genocide, for 660 days, coupled with the failure of the state to prevent or punish this incitement. 🧵

"With this enemy, it's just like using a lice comb. Just kill them. Just exterminate them."
Shimon Elkabetz is the current chairman of the Israel Film Council and a radio host. In the past, he was the commander of the IDF radio station, "GALATZ, director of state-owned public radio, and held other senior positions in mainstream Israeli media.

*Sigh*
As Edward Said said decades ago Palestinians don’t have permission to narrate their own destruction. It can only be told by someone with supposed “authority” and through a Western gaze. Now dead Palestinians clamoring “yes it’s genocide” 20 months ago weren’t “huge” enough

Time & time again we see that posthumanism & transhumanism under capitalism are perhaps the most spiritually monstrous paths our species can take. Disgust with every part of being a human, eagerness to make what they hate what they desire transactable, contempt for nay-sayers

"Inefficient" to use your own brain and heart to write a eulogy — the post-humanism that should interest us most isn't some cybernetic borg future. It's the voluntary surrender of the human spirit and it's already here.

People changing their mind and speaking out on the horrors of Gaza is a good thing. But if a person “changing their mind” is in power, and they do not subsequently use that power in accordance with the seriousness of the new conclusion they have arrived at, then that’s a problem.

A joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters
ALT JOINT STATEMENT ON GAZA FROM AFP, AP, BBC NEWS AND REUTERS “We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. For many months, these independent journalists have been the world’s eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering. “Journalists endure many deprivations and hardships in warzones. We are deeply alarmed that the threat of starvation is now one of them. “We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there.”

Every editor who canceled a story about Palestine brought us here. Every boss who censored an employee. Everyone who said “not this way” to protesters. Every university admin calling the cops. Bloody. All your hands are bloody, and we will never forget.

#UK Government’s decision to label ‘Palestine Action’ a terrorist group raises serious concerns that counter-terrorism legislation is being applied to a group that is not terrorist in nature & risks hindering the legitimate exercise of fundamental freedoms.
The decision could lead to further chilling effect on the lawful exercise of these rights by many people - @volker_turk

As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality.
A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.

Dear @Keir_Starmer - following #PMQs today, a reminder of the letter we you sent last week after you repeated false claims about the Green Party's manifesto. Unlike Labour and the Conservatives we were honest about the need to raise taxes on the wealthiest to fund public services

Pro-grouse shooting Labour MP Sam Rushworth received £10,000 donation from local grouse moor gamekeeper group.
Oh! His support for driven grouse shooting during Monday's debate now makes a lot more sense!

I live in a country that gives military support to another country which is killing thousands of civilians while proscribing an organisation which protests about it.

The order published today by Yvette Cooper to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group lists them alongside the Maniacs Murder Cult & Russian Imperial Movement/Legion. To compare a protest movement like PL with these violent, murdering terrorists is beyond all credibility

Israel's attack on Iran "represent[s] a flagrant violation of fundamental principles of international law, a blatant act of aggression and a violation of jus cogens norms—peremptory rules of international law from which no derogation is permitted"
There is zero doubt about this.

Israel’s war on Iran is misusing the humanitarian principle of ‘evacuation orders’ as a tactic of psychological & political terror against the Iranian population - just as it has recently against Palestinian & Lebanese civilians.
Three ‘evacuation orders’ have so far been issued in Tehran, home to 10m people.
