I don’t even have the ability to formulate a clever condemnation of what Israel and its enablers are doing to these children. Stunting them for life and starving them to death?! What kind of sociopath would still cling to the canard of self-defence?

Children suffering from malnutrition in Gaza will be stunted for life, "if they survive," @unicefchief says. "It's a painful, painful death for children." In maternity wards, "babies don't even have the energy to cry. It's a devastating thing to see," she says.

What stood out in South Africa’s intervention was their humanity. Each member of their team went beyond presenting a legal case and, instead, offered a genuine expression of sympathy for the suffering of the Palestinians and solidarity with their struggle. 1/

In 20 years of legal work, I've known judges to make some dubious remarks. Today’s declaration from Judge Barak is the most reprehensible I have encountered. This isn’t just moral bankruptcy; it’s a plunge into judicial depravity that should sicken the court, if not the world.

Now that Israel has destroyed *all* the universities in Gaza, will British and European universities establish a scholars-at-risk programme for displaced Palestinian academics? I know the answer but it’s something sympathetic scholars can advocate for. ✊🏾

“Palestinians must be given the choice between starvation and ethnic cleansing” is a dubious suggestion by anyone but doubly offensive for a UNSR. I encourage this colleague to recant their assault on the rights of Palestinians and for other special rapporteurs to disavow it.

ICJ hearing: the Court should re-read this by Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian, head of COGAT: "Human animals must be treated as such. There will be no electricity and no water [in Gaza], there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell.”

I was struck by this compelling piece by @pennyjgreen & Raz Segal on Israel's alleged genocidal intent. The demonisation of the victim is a tactic with a disturbing historical precedent.
