“The students don’t know what they’re talking about”

The students:

A small group of Holocaust survivors and some second-generation demonstrated outside Yad Vashem this morning.

'If we loose our compassion for the Other, we have lost our Humanity' - let this be a lesson we learn from the Holocaust and its survivors.

The 'humanitarian camouflage' that I denounced in my last report #AnatomyofGenocide - i.e. Israel's using IHL jargon to justify its otherwise unlawful military conduct - continues unabated.

Israeli army intensifies bombardment of Rafah, months after declaring it 'safe zone'. Last night it reportedly killed dozens of Palestinians. This morning it issued another mass evacuation (ergo: expulsion) order affecting hundreds of thousands of already displaced Palestinians.…

Israel's ban of Al Jazeera is 2nd time I've been part of a media organization banned by an apartheid regime. (1st was SA ‘88) I'm so proud of that! It's a sign of panic by those regimes at the their crimes being exposed, a whiff of the rot at the heart of their systems...

On #WorldPressFreedomDay , watch #Palestinian journalists on this Carnegie Endowment short doc'y talk about their struggles reporting in #Gaza , the most deadly place to report in modern times, says CPJ MENA. Part of the Project on Shrinking Space for Israel/Palestine Discourse.👇🏽

54 years ago today the National Guard opened fire on student anti-war protesters at Kent State university in Ohio, killing 4.

The No. 1 pro-Israel online talking point - ‘Hamas agrees to release the hostages & the war ends tomorrow!’ - destroyed by a single quote from an Israeli official:

'Israel will under no circumstances agree to end the war in a deal to release the hostages' haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

Incredible that the ICC is to face pressure and intimidation, all the more from states that are not even party to the Rome Statute.

As a European, I apologise to Dr Ghassan Abu Sitta for the ban to enter European countries handed out by #Germany , which has reached a new low in defending Israel's genocide, of which Dr Abu Sitta is a brave direct witness.
I urge Germany to reverse this shameful decision and…

Jewish Dartmouth professor Annelise Orleck (65) says yeah, I feel unsafe on campus.

But not because of my students and their Palestine protests, because of police who body slammed me on the ground and arrested me for protecting kids.

And calls out New Hampshire Governor…

Honored to be invited by the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention to discuss my last report to the United Nations Human Rights Council. Could not think of a better title to talk about the monstruosity that is taking place in Gaza, under our watch, and which risks to spread to the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory.

Nessuno della mia famiglia è mai stato pagato da Hamas, nè dall'Autorità Palestinese. Non c'è nessun fantomatico contratto, nè tantomeno indagini in corso. Tutto inventato. Quello che è vero purtroppo è che nella TV Italiana troppo spesso si ospita chi usa la calunnia come unica…

Getting arrested today trying to deliver aid to Gaza was the only way I could figure out to mark pesach this year with integrity. Next year in liberation!

Flour massacres and the destruction of Gaza medical facilities serving dispossessed Palestinians by the Israeli military have a long [Nakba] history. This is the
ICRC reporting the Israeli bombardment of refugees waiting for flour (30 killed) and a policlinic (1 killed) in 1949

We asked Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt some tough questions in this interview. Her response: 'The legitimacy of the ICC needs Palestine almost more than Palestine needs the ICC'.

Fadi Quran's writings can be devastating & uplifting at the same time, as the brightest people are gifted to do. Everyone should read him, and feel both devastated/horrified at what is happening to the Palestinians, and uplifted/hopeful, bcs a different future is in the making.…

Most of the survivors of the Gaza #genocideI I have met in the past months possess a carachteristic that defies description. Hala vividly personifies that ineffable trait, which the word 'chronic trauma' vaguely captures.

I am extremely alarmed by information that Dr. Adnan Albursh, a well-known surgeon at #alshifa_hospital , has died while detained by Israeli forces in the Ofer military prison. While I acquire more information, I URGE the diplomatic community to intervene with CONCRETE MEASURES to…
