I interviewed Dr Cornwall for this piece on the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Most of my sources requested anonymity
Dr Lenny Cornwall’s manifesto elicited accusations of bigotry on social media, “the automatic activist response to anyone who deviates from the gender orthodoxy ascendant across apex institutions — including the Royal College of Psychiatrists” thecritic.co.uk/A-question-o…

The campaign aimed to connect independent human rights efforts to baseless political accusations, risking a dangerous environment that could result in the direct or indirect targeting of personnel. This risk is heightened by past instances of attacks on human rights workers.

In recent weeks, especially following the release of a report detailing sexual violence against Palestinians in Israeli prisons, Israeli officials, government entities, and major propaganda channels have initiated a coordinated campaign of incitement targeting Euro-Med Monitor.

Israel is torturing a doctor to punish him for refusing to leave his town, hospital and patients - and it’s fully sanctioned by the courts
🚨Breaking: The Israeli High Court has rejected an appeal to release Gaza pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, allowing Israel to continue detaining him without charge under the “Unlawful Combatants Law,” the Palestinian Center for Prisoners Advocacy said. The group says he remains in solitary confinement at Nafha Prison, denied medical care and basic rights.

Israeli Supreme Court rejected, once again, an appeal against Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s detention According to his lawyer, the Israeli Supreme Court has ruled that Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya will remain imprisoned under the “Unlawful Combatant” law, rejecting an appeal against his detention despite no charges being brought against him. The decision allows the continued detention of Dr. Abu Safiya without charge, in a manner that contradicts international law and the Geneva Conventions, which afford special protection to medical personnel during armed conflicts. Dr. Abu Safiya remains held in solitary confinement at Nafha Prison under harsh conditions, while being denied necessary medical care and other basic rights. #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

يُحاصر الجوع أجسادهم المنهكة، ويزحف أبناء غزة في صدر الموت، حفاةَ الكرامة، مجروحين بالصمت العالمي، فقط ليعودوا بكسرة خبز لأطفالهم. يواجهون الرصاص بدل الرغيف، وتُنتزع منهم إنسانيتهم على مرأى العالم، فلا ظل لرحمة، ولا صدى للعدالة. #غزة_الإبادة_والصمود

The Israeli Supreme Court upheld the detention of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, rejecting his appeal and authorising his ongoing imprisonment under the “Unlawful Combatants Law,” without any charges. He remains in custody, held in solitary confinement, and denied medical treatment and basic rights, in a blatant violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions. Hussam Abu Safiya must be released immediately and unconditionally! #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

REVEALED: Jewish activists @JAZA_UK have shown us material from inside an Israeli property event in London yesterday, which shows that illegal settlements on Palestinian land were on sale in the UK. Activists gained access to the event, spoke to numerous developers about the properties for sale in Israeli settlements - which are illegal under British and international law - before they were ejected for disrupting the speeches. The Board of Deputies, which calls itself a representational body for British Jews, claimed that all properties being sold were inside Israel, however these pamphlets clearly show the opposite is true.

The illegality of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank is one of the most well-established positions in international law, resting on four distinct pillars: 📜 GENEVA CONVENTIONS Article 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) explicitly prohibits an occupying power from transferring parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. Israel ratified the Convention in 1951. The International Committee of the Red Cross, the authoritative interpreter of humanitarian law, has consistently held that this provision applies directly to the settlements. 🌐 UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS The Security Council has repeatedly affirmed settlement illegality — including in binding resolutions the US did not veto: • Res. 446 (1979): settlements have "no legal validity" • Res. 465 (1980): calls on Israel to dismantle existing settlements • Res. 2334 (2016): passed 14-0 (US abstained), explicitly states settlements constitute "a flagrant violation of international law" and have "no legal validity" ⚖️ ICJ RULINGS • Advisory Opinion on the Wall (2004): the Court found settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, had been established in breach of international law, and that the wall built to protect them compounded that illegality • Advisory Opinion on the Occupied Palestinian Territory (2024): the Court went further, ruling that Israel's continued presence in the OPT — including the settlement enterprise — is itself unlawful, and called on all states not to recognise or assist it 🏛️ UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY Countless UNGA resolutions have reaffirmed settlement illegality, including Res. 77/247 (2023), which requested the landmark 2024 ICJ opinion. No serious legal scholar disputes this consensus. The settlements are illegal. The only remaining question is whether the international community will act on it.
Which international law says that they are illegal?
