Alas, the damage is done. Social media is flooded. Several actors will now pick it up and put undue pressure on actors on the ground. So I come back to my original point: what was Judge Donaghue doing there? and what did international justice gain from her doing this?
So while this may be the correct legal jargon, in practice it does not leave us at a different place than the one we started off from. "What Israel is doing puts the right not to be genocided plausibly at risk" is not really different from "there is a plausible case of genocide"
Yes, technically, the Court said what was plausible was a "right" under the Convention, not South Africa's "entire case". But does this mean there is no "plausible genocide"? of course not! Because the plausible right that is at risk is the right not to be genocided!
Much is being said about former ICJ President Joan Donoghue's interview in @BBCHARDtalk, particularly her view that the ICJ "did not find a plausible case of genocide". A few thoughts 🧵
A far right Trump supporter at Charlottesville murdered Heather Heayer. Trump thinks that was ‘a little peanut’, ‘nothing’. Sick dishonest stuff from the hero of the white supremacists and antisemites.

Professor Susan Bernofsky from Columbia university: “I do feel that the students are highly critical of Israeli politics, and I do not believe that is inherently antisemitic at all. And I do not feel threatened as a Jewish faculty member in any way by what’s happening on campus.”
Thanks! And thanks to @jonlovett, it was a lot of fun.

One of the primary functions of police is to violently crush progressive social movements. It's one of the reasons expanding the size and power of police is always authoritarian and is never an answer to inequality. *It is a key part of preserving inequality, in all its forms.*

Emory University Economics professor Caroline Fohlin's arrest video was bad in a vacuum but seeing what precedes it makes it even worse. Dark times.

Waleed Shahid may have left Justice Democrats, but he remains an important voice informing progressives. Recently, @_waleedshahid dedicated himself to the Vote Uncommitted movement in Michigan and elsewhere. He's one our political influencers to watch: trib.al/0FGQXsE
The 2 police officers who assault this woman, this unarmed nonviolent economics professor, should not just be fired but go to prison. But of course the wider issue are our police forces themselves, which embrace consequence-free violence & authoritarianism at times like this.

Samuel Alito is 74. Clarence Thomas is 75. Roberts and Sotomayor are 69. The next president may very well nominate replacements for multiple (if not all!) of these justices. If Trump is president, the Supreme Court is gone for the rest of our lifetimes. That means an all-powerful…

Some people seem to not remember the tone from the government the days after October 7, which is fully in line with refusing such proposal. Here are two ministers from October as reminders:
!!! Former spokesperson for families of Israeli hostages in Gaza says they learned that after October 7, Hamas offered to release all civilian hostages to prevent a ground offensive. “No doubt that Netanyahu is preventing a deal to release the hostage.” zman.co.il/481871/
Belated🧵on @MinColonna's report on UNRWA. Media coverage has (rightly) focused on Israel's failure to provide evidence of its allegations. That's indeed the main takeaway. But there's a 2nd layer to the story: Colonna's bias and bending to Israel's & Western donors' politics.
Israel lies pathologically! A🧵of dozens of conclusively debunked Israeli gov lies since Oct 7, off the top of my head 1- The IDF blatantly claimed this underground WATER TANK was a "Hamas tunnel" their ground troops discovered at the Qatari hospital in Gaza on Nov 5 2023…

A pro-Israel organization offered payment to individuals who can blend into protests at Columbia University, specifically seeking those with keffiyehs and “Middle Eastern appearance” for more “deeper infiltration.”
not only was there no evidence of any rape and sexual violence on the bodies at the Shura base where they were taken for identification, the police also found zero evidence of it on the bodies at the Nova festival. This exposes the supposed "witnesses" who claimed they saw it

Fascinating study: Even as Israel has killed more than 33,000 Palestinians, the NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post have used the word “brutal” to describe Palestinians 77% of the time that word has been used, compared to just 23% of the time for Israel.
