A good day at the office. This interview airs Friday, May 15 , Friday 19:30 pm, GMT (21:30 in RSA) on @AJUpFront. We spoke about the systemic rape of Palestinian detainees. Everyone is talking about Nicholas Kristof's report but there were MANY before it, including Albanese's one in March. Forensics, footage, survivor statements etc. Before you make a noise about the article that followed rehashing Hamas mass rapes, it was based on an unverified and unpublished report. It is widely believed that Israeli intel knew Kristoff's piece was coming and quickly influenced publication of a different article, which mainstream international media quickly published without the same burden of verification placed on Kristoff's piece. We also talked about the US sanctions against her, with a US court has just suspended because they were based on lies and malice. I hope @NelsonMandela Foundation feels strong and energized. They were harassed for daring to invite @FranceskAlbs to give the Annual Lecture. It is GOOD to stand for justice, truth and accountability. Fransesca reminded me of her parting words to me at the Nelson Mandela Lecture "We shall dance again." Today she added "I couldn't even hug you in the end." One day I'll tell you why. But for now, this is where we are. Sanctions suspended. She can use her credit card again.

@RediTlhabi And let’s not forget an entire president of Israel’s biggest ally and funder of their genocide said he had seen "confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children” only to have to retract and admit he in fact had NOT seen any such pictures nor independently verified (so lied?)
