This is probably the most complete report to date that demonstrates how Israel's acts meet the legal definition of genocide.

It's a 100-page report, by legal experts at Boston University School of Law, Cornell Law School, Yale Law School, and others.

A bunch of officials in Israel and America are now belatedly acknowledging what has been clear for months—that there will be no 'day after' plan for Gaza, no hopeful post-war diplomacy—and they're trying to absolve themselves of any responsibility for it economist.com/middle-east-an…

What a wild example of the police not caring about the law at all. Going on private property because someone used a speaker on their private property. Just making it up as they go along in order to suppress a Palestine protest.

Israel and its defenders want you to believe that protesting against genocide in Gaza is antisemitic, while Jewish peace activists have been at the front line of those protests. This is from London today.

Billionaire CEOs didn't just reach Mayor Adams in a private chat urging him to arrest pro-Palestine Columbia students, they also offered PRIVATE staff to help NYPD. The Mayor accepted.

Members of the group also coordinated with Israel's war cabinet, UN ambassador and former PM.
