If anyone doubts Israel is waging a genocidal war in Gaza, just have a read through South Africa’s 84-page application to the World Court.
I’ve followed events closely, but even so, it was shocking to see it set out in one place the dimensions of what Israel has already done.

- BREAKING from the New York Times: Israeli intelligence officials discover Hamas command and control centre beneath The Hague
- So, it's illegitimate to evoke Nazi Germany when Israel kills 550 children (as it did in 2014). But it's legitimate to evoke Nazi Germany when Margaret Hodge receives a mild letter of rebuke after she verbally abused the leader of her party. Is that right?
- US military historian Robert Pape says: “Gaza is one of the most intense civilian punishment campaigns in history”Israel's military campaign in Gaza seen as among the most destructive in history, experts say apnews.com/article/israel…
- According to the former head of USAID in West Bank and Gaza, the much-publicised US air drop on Saturday delivered *less than one truckload* of food aid. In other words, it was a depraved PR stunt designed to distract from and enable the infliction of famine.🧵 Monday's humanitarian update; Gantz visit to DC. The US Air Force air dropped 38,000 meals on Saturday into Gaza, less than one truck load equivalent. By contrast a relatively small US NGO, @AneraOrg delivers 150,000 meals daily, 4x the amount of this US Air Force drop.
- Israel's "investigation" into the killing of seven WCK aid workers in Gaza was led by the CEO of the company that supplied the murder weapon. telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…
- Israel has annexed the West Bank. It denies non-Jews who live there any political, while regularly violating their human, rights. It is able to do this because other states, including the UK, are unwilling to impose on it any meaningful sanctions.
- The antisemitism "report" by Lord Mann and Dame Mordaunt is barely longer than their Telegraph op-ed promoting it. Excluding the Forewords, Executive Summary, & Recommendations, the entire "report" runs to... 2.5 pages.
- "It is not clear how or why We Believe in Israel was granted access to classified documents"
- For more than a decade, Gaza has been placed under a suffocating, criminal blockade. Israel's army has repeatedly bombarded its impoverished civilian population -- most of them children -- with heavy weaponry. Why has the world done nothing?
- Veteran Israeli journalist and dissident Gideon Levy: 'Corbyn is not an anti-Semite. He never was. His real sin is his staunch position against injustice in the world. . . The Jews and Israel’s true friends should hope that Corbyn is elected'.
- I joined Labour to get rid of all forms of oppression and injustice, including antisemitism. And it is precisely because I oppose racism, antisemitism, injustice that I am campaigning for Labour and Jeremy Corbyn to be our Prime Minister. jamiesternweiner.wordpress.com/2019/11/01/lab… #Jews4Labour
- Don't want to rush to conclusions here, but, it seems 'antisemitism' was weaponised for factional purposes.
