This was a moving submission before the International Court of Justice by the Irish lawyer Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh KC advising South Africa. “Look in the mirror and ask where was I when Gaza was going through a genocide? South Africa is here…before this court in the peace palace”

Belgium cannot stand by and watch the immense human suffering in Gaza. We must act against the threat of genocide. I want Belgium to take action at the International Court of Justice, following the lead of South Africa. I will propose this within the Belgian government. #begov

A very amusing find in the library recently! While checking stock, one of our Library Assistants found this note. We managed to track down Brendan, who is now a Professor of Mathematics at @MTU_ie. He has fond memories of cleaning books for £40 a week in the summer of 1983!

#Israel's Smotrich, Ben Gvir, and yes, #Netanyahu and the vast majority of his coalition government have forcibly transferred #Palestinians within the West Bank and #Gaza. As I told the #UNSC last week, they intend to deport them on maas, unless stopped. https://t.co/egM7tp3R1t

Open calls for the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians of Gaza are becoming ever more frequent in Israel. The Palestinians have been reduced to subhumans, to be shot, starved, dispossessed, subjugated, tortured, bombed, abused and expelled with barely a shrug.
OPINION: The facts demonstrate that the northern Sinai Peninsula is an ideal location to develop a spacious resettlement for the people of Gaza. https://t.co/1U38AWSVwb

Reposted- @JakeWSimons inverts the truth and ignores history and reality here. Three key facts are completely ommitted: 1. The PLO/Palestinian Authority recognised Israel in 1990 and has been committed to a Two State Solution since then, but the ruling Likud Party, in power for
Israelis have been pursuing two-states for decades, with blood and tears the only result. It began with the Oslo Accords in the 1990s. Israel commenced its withdrawal and Palestinian autonomy started to emerge under a five-year roadmap. But while Yasser Arafat was talking peace

This is what happened at the Nakba in 1948. Its exactly the same playbook. First the Israelis drove out the Palestinians with atrocities & mass murder. Then they demolished the villages & built settlements over the ruins. Then they denied the Palestinians had ever been there or
Israel is demolishing what remains of the houses, so it can't be restored. This is a full-swing plan to destroy all houses in the north of #Gaza so that displaced people who were told to go to south TEMPORARILY can't return; this is same scenario as what happened in 1948 & after.
