Norman Finkelstein just schooled everyone on international law. Finkelstein citing Article 51: Iran is legally defending itself. The US and Israel are legally committing aggression. There's no debate

As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality. A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.

Today Israel killed at least five reporters in Gaza and some of the western news organizations they worked for didn’t even name them in their news alerts.

For months, folks on this website have pushed a set of "gotcha" tropes to debunk the existence of famine in Gaza. In fact they are mostly debunking their own credibility on famine dynamics. As we await tomorrow's IPC report, here is a pre-buttal 🧵of some of those tropes.

This famine is a war crime perpetrated by the State of Israel. The BBC, still bleating the perpetrators’ lies, is complicit, manufacturing consent for the genocide

THREAD: Various reports suggest that the United States is debating direct participation in Israel’s war against Iran. In addition to the massive supply of arms and funds to its Israeli proxy, the mobilization of anti-missile defenses to protect it from Iranian retaliation, and the provision of diplomatic and political support, this would mean that US forces would become directly involved in attacking Iranian territory and assets. How did we get here?

“8th generation Israeli”? That’s like claiming to be an eighth generation computer user. There have only been about 10 generations in *America’s” history (since 1776). The choice to repeatedly tell easily disprovable lies feels like a kind of psycosis.

@krautkultur @FranceskAlbs I suggest you stick to lawn care (as your account name implies), as your comment is beyond the pale.

@FranceskAlbs The balestinians could stop beeing savages, that could be a start!

Europe and its countries/societies need to interrogate their deep rooted racism toward non Europeans (and non European looking people). AntiArabism & Islamophobia are coming to the fore through the full display of AntiPalestinian Racism in European streets, squares, police stations, public offices, universities, schools and other work places. It must be addressed and for it, it must be SEEN.
