.Abdel Razzaq Takriti عبدالرزاق التكريتي at SOAS University of London (in November) on greenlighting the genocide in Gaza: how history is used to promote large scale war crimes & ethnic cleansing as self-defense, and how it is used to deny structural realities of expanding settler-colonialism

A month ago 5 Palestinian human rights organisations submitted to UN Rapporteurs, including Alice J Edwards UN Special Rapporteur Torture a 45 page, documented, detailed report on torture and inhumane treatment of Palestinian detainees. But the UN SR is still 'investigating'... twitter.com/pchrgaza/statu…

I have written about 'abstraction' in liberal legal & political theory before, but it is still astonishing to see the silence of so many academics on Gaza, including those who lecture on freedom, even regarding scholasticide digitalcommons.law.buffalo.edu/buffalolawrevi…

The fascist minister in charge of Israeli prisons Ben Gvir continues to brag about worsening conditions for thousands of prisoners & calling for execution to solve problem of crowding in prisons, but Alice J Edwards UN Special Rapporteur Torture is yet to release any letter, statement, report on torture.

A thread about the arrest of Prof. Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian:

This is deplorable and epistomises the gas lighting Israelis subject Palestinians to on a daily basis. I’ll play this clip the next time someone dares describe Israel as a democracy. The fascism is next level.

A reminder of the ICJ on 16 February re Rafah, reiterated in the 2nd order on 28 March:

'The Court emphasizes that the State of Israel remains bound to fully comply... including by ensuring the safety and security of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip' 'including in Rafah'

#ColumbiaUniversity has now suspended students leading and participating in protests against the ongoing genocide. The crumbling empire can no longer afford even the pretense of caring for 'freedom of speech' and 'democracy.' Their very existence is at stake. Unmasked fascism.

The dehumanisation of Palestinians is so total that this channel 13 anchor finds it 'incomprehensible' that 'Israel allows these pictures' of Gazans on the beach. It is 'stomach tunrning', she says.

Come and join me, a bald and bespectacled middle-aged lifter, in nerding out on some arcane matters of international legal history and theory with Christopher Roberts and others CUHK Faculty of Law. A video recording of my book talk, with a good Q&A, here:

I wrote about how Israel mobilises a highly permissive interpretation of the international humanitarian law prohibition of starving civilians to portray its starvation campaign as a ‘tragic humanitarian crisis’’ and give legal cover to its genocide tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

The supreme irony of Israel's judicial system:

A settler judge evicting Palestinian families from their homes in an occupied territory.

Israeli justice!

Israel is an irredeemable entity
