After ignoring resolution 2728 demanding a ceasefire, in the wake of Iran's retaliation Israel has requested an emergency Security Council mtg. (It meets today at 4). This is hypocrisy but worse it indicates the incapacity of the post-WWII int'l system to ensure peace & security.

I attended a symposium event at Governor General of Canada today on online abuse including racism and hate.

While uOttawa | Faculté de médecine, Faculty of Medicine and Canadian Medical Association weaponized the online abuse I experienced to perpetuate anti-Palestinian racism and rhetoric which they still have not acknowledged or apologized for.

Signed! Fellow #academics in North America please sign to condemn the scholasticide in #Gaza . #Gaza Genocide

Yes, this. We definitely need #IR & #IPE to be more interdisciplinary, for example learning from communications, media studies & critical #data studies for how to examine the #digital economy. #ISA2024

At #ISA2024 & saw my book with Blayne Haggart @[email protected], The New Knowledge: #Information , #data & the Remaking of Global #Power . Download it for free under ‘features’! ISA #openaccess

I stand with my fellow international studies scholars to demand that ISA endorse #BDS . As scholars — as humans — we have an obligation to speak out against the ongoing Israeli genocide of Palestinians. #ISA2024

To be academics of intl studies requires us to recognise we are also humans witnessing a genocide, & to act accordingly. I posted on Tues of the cognitive dissonance of arriving here to #ISA2024 at this moment & it was heartening tonight to support colleagues calling attn to this

A new low for lawfare.

If CIJA succeeds, it will mean more Palestinian deaths, more starvation.

It's the diaspora equivalent of blocking aid trucks.

MSF with a sharp rebuke of Israel’s position that the deaths of humanitarian aid workers from #WorldCentralKitchen are a “regrettable incident” to be excused away, rather than part of a *deliberate pattern of attacks* on aid workers and others👇

We are an eternity far beyond enough.

Enough with immoral equivocating. Enough with meaningless dismay. Enough with empty words. Enough with resolutions that go nowhere. Enough with watching & not acting.

We are only powerless if we remain silent.

Canadian General (ret) says there's no evidence Israel deliberately targeted the WCK convoy, ignoring the facts: there were 3 vehicles targeted in 3 separate strikes within a 2.4km range, after coordination with the IDF and in a deconflicted zone. This is genocide denial.

I am devastated too but I am even more devastated by the killing of more than 30,000 Palestinians by the Israeli army

Canada demands investigation into Israel's attacks on #WorldCentralKitchen staff.

This is the umpteenth time Canada 'demands' and investigation into killings of civilians. Each time, nothing happens or Canada accepts non-independent IDF findings.

Enough. ctvnews.ca/canada/canada-…

At the very least, there should be professional sanctions for the engineers, researchers and academics who worked on these projects. Time for groups like GigaNet, AoIR and other digital-focused groups to adopt a code of ethics for their members?

This damning article describes the mechanized, automated slaughter of Palestinians by Israel on an unimaginable scale. I'd call it indiscriminate slaughter except the whole point of AI is to allow for discrimination and selection of targets/victims.

It is now 48 hours since CIJ_ICJ ordered Israel to, 'take all necessary & effective measures to ensure... the unhindered provision at scale by all concerned of urgently needed basic services & humanitarian assistance.'
How has Canada pressed for compliance Justin Trudeau?

Or the UNSG

Thank you Heather McPherson. Will this include a request to make public any assessment that the government has carried out as to whether there is genocide — or a serious risk of genocide — in Gaza? Canada has an international legal duty to conduct this assessment.

UNICEF Spokesperson James Elder shows the line of trucks with desperately needed aid that are just waiting to get into Gaza. They don’t need airdrops and seaports, they need Israel to stop blocking aid.

Gaza’s famine is a man-made humanitarian disaster.

Commendable; yes. And so, where are Canada's statements & resources pressing for justice for ALL human rights crimes, not only in Israel, but also in Gaza, where CIJ_ICJ has pointed to plausible genocide? Where is Canada's explicit support for ongoing ICC investigations?
