- Replying to @karinloevytowards achieving an immediate ceasefire between Israel and its neighbors, for the future of both peoples in Israel/Palestine and the peoples of the region, and for their rights to security and life. (2)
- Replying to @karinloevyMany of us are veteran activists against the occupation, for peace and mutual existence in this land. We are motivated by our love for the land and its residents, and we are concerned for their future. (3)
- Replying to @karinloevyUnfortunately, the majority of Israelis support the continuation of the war and massacres, and a change from within is not currently feasible. The state of Israel is on a suicidal path and sows destruction and devastation that increase day by day. (6)
- Replying to @karinloevyWe have been horrified by the war crimes committed by Hamas and other organizations on October 7th, and we are horrified by the countless war crimes that Israel is committing.(5)
- Replying to @karinloevyThe government of Israel has abandoned its citizens who are hostages (and has killed some), it has neglected the residents of the south and north of Israel, and it has forsaken the fate and future of all of its citizens. (7)
- Replying to @karinloevyIsrael’s Palestinian citizens are persecuted and silenced by state authorities and by the wider public. It is our opinion that the repression, intimidation, and political persecution prevent many who share our views from joining this call. (8)
- Replying to @karinloevyThe leaders of many countries make repeated statements about the horror they feel and verbally denounce Israel’s operations, but these condemnations are not backed by practical actions. We are replete with empty words and declarations. (11)
- Replying to @karinloevyThe lack of true international pressure, the continuation of arms supplies to Israel , economic and security partnerships, and scientific and cultural collaborations, bring most Israelis to believe that Israel’s policies enjoy international support. (10)
- Replying to @karinloevyEvery day that goes by further distances any possible horizon 4 regional agreement & reconciliation, a future where Jewish Israelis can live with security in this place. Achieving these require lengthy processes, the constant massacres & destruction must be stopped immediately!

- And so it begins: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice”, said Martin Luther King, Jr.’ So excited to receive David Dyzenhaus’ beautiful new book The Long Arc of Legality, where he applies King’s statement to the universe of law.
- “There is only one morally, legally and strategically defensible choice: an arms embargo” read this @Verfassungsblog interview w @JaninaDill again.
- New provisional measures to protect civilians - NOW!On Sunday, the UN Human Rights Office said that Israel "may be causing the destruction of the Palestinian population in Gaza’s northernmost governate." 1. In my view, South Africa should request the ICJ to order new provisional measures to protect the civilian population. 🧵
