After Biden accepted the International Criminal Court's use of territorial jurisdiction in Ukraine to prosecute Putin, it would be the height of hypocrisy if Biden objected to the ICC's use of territorial jurisdiction in Palestine to prosecute Netanyahu. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

“The State Department’s leaked confirmation that Israel has restricted the transport and delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance leaves no doubt: U.S. law requires the suspension of military aid to Israel” huffpost.com/entry/leaked-m…

Gaza. No journalists allowed. No human rights monitors allowed. No investigators allowed. Humanitarians severely restricted.
No witnesses, other than the victims themselves.

Prof. Shalhoub-Kevorkian was questioned for 4 hours today, Palm Sunday (for Jerusalem Armenians), which her family celebrates. She was interrogated about her scholarship according to family. She was denied having lawyers or US embassy staff present at interrogation. Outrageous!

Belated🧵on Catherine Colonna'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.

The whole point of trying to equate anti-Zionism with antisemitism, as backers of Israel's apartheid regime do, is to turn opposition to Zionism into opposition to Jews and as such frame it as discrimination to circumvent free speech protections. The entire aim is repressive.

If you’re in Berlin on May 6 & 7, do attend Nathan’s talks.

And read his fantastic book “A Day in the Life of Abed Salama” (2023). It’s a nonfiction novel that tells the story of a school bus crash &, through it, brings us face-to-face w/ life for Palestinians under occupation.

How are news outlets dedicating wall-to-wall coverage to campus protests, but not the discovery of mass graves in Gaza of people with their hands tied & clothing stripped?

Why do we not know more?

Where are the journalists and resources being dedicated to that story?

Nathan Thrall will be in conversation with Sally Hayden on A Day in the Life of Abed Salama, an indelibly human portrait of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the lives of those caught in the crossfire.
