Powerful testimony by Emir Suljagić at UN today ahead of UNGA Srebrenica Genocide resolution: “Over the past 29 yrs, we have had to prove every single detail of our ordeal…But we have done so with the most sophisticated scientific methods available.” klix.ba/vijesti/bih/ob…

“We've become addicted to explosions.” Stunning work by Bellingcat tracking the scale of home demolitions by a single IDF unit in Gaza. “Behind each ruined building, there is a decision & an action which has been carried out by a specific unit or person.” bellingcat.com/news/2024/04/2…

'He had lost his kids, his grandkids, his home,' Sam recalls, 'and he's alone in the corner of this dark hospital, maggots going out of his wounds, and he was screaming: 'The worms are eating me alive please help me’” -US medic in Gaza, by Fergal Keane

WSJ is reporting that Israel plans to evacuate civilians from Rafah to Khan Younis for 2-3 weeks, then start their attack on the city. Khan Younis has been decimated, but new tents were set up a few days ago in the city's south. Image from Apr 18 - tents weren't there on Apr 16.

There is years of accumulated evidence that this particular unit behaves like a far-right militia in army uniform, dominated by extreme settlers (some of them with criminal records) who commit regular crimes against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. axios.com/2024/04/20/us-…

Disgusting interview by Iranian Ambassador in Serbia. He fully supported Serbia’s denialist position: “Serbia and Serbs agree that there was a certain crime in Srebrenica but that fact is being qualified in a very incorrect way.” BiH should condemn this.

Grim dispatch by Dan Sabbagh from Kharkiv. Russia is pulverising the city

A journalist whose (brilliant) reporting was submitted as evidence in the legal challenge against the UK deportation plan finds herself denied entry to Rwanda. Something for MPs and peers to reflect upon this week.

Alongside all the mourning there is comfort in how the Sudanese people have pooled their few resources and opened up their homes - a reminder that a country is not a place, but a spirit.

My column on one year of Sudan's war.

Nuclear deterrence certainly exists. And works. It just doesn't do anyone any good.

'Iran wouldn't dare attack if Trump was POTUS'

Friend, don't be gaslit.

Iran attacked 2 US BASES while Trump was in office.

Over 100 US soldiers got brain injuries, but Trump WH tried to bury the story.

Israeli journalist Ronen Bergman has a remarkable quote from a source with knowledge of Israeli discussions on Iran: 'If the talks were broadcast live on Youtube, you'd have 4 million people clamoring at Ben Gurion airport trying to get out of here.' ynet.co.il/news/article/b…

Journalism schools ought to do modules deconstructing the glory of Sam Jones intros.

Self-inflicted wound from the BBC. Mark’s books/journalism on defence & intelligence have been world-class. What a loss.

Two Israeli officials 'said that one possible response — a retaliatory strike that some members of the cabinet had proposed — was called off after Prime Minister of Israel spoke to President Biden on Saturday, and b/c the strikes caused relatively minor damage.' Ronen Bergman
