    Doctoral thesis submitted! Proud to have survived it through a pandemic while working full time, losing family, gaining some, and chasing a crazy toddler while heavily pregnant. I will celebrate with something stronger in eight weeks!

    “US officials went line-by-line through arms shipments to Israel to rebut Netanyahu’s delay claim” If only this much effort was put into ensuring Israel’s use of US weapons did not violate international law.

    It's official: I passed my PhD viva at Oxford with no corrections! Incredibly honored to have been examined by trailblazers @AdHaque110 and David Rodin, and grateful for my inspiring supervisors @cecilemyfabre and Tom Simpson.

    Found out on Twitter that I didn’t get the job. No polite rejection letter, just a tweet congratulating the man they hired instead. This is after a 7-month application process, many interviews, and a memo written in 24h with a screaming baby. Please do better for working moms

    Latest report on Israel's use of AI in Gaza raises significant concerns about civilian harm. NSC Spokesperson John Kirby says US "looking into it." Here are 10 questions policymakers and the public should ask - courtesy of @just_security:

    “As soon as people enter [the kill zone], mainly adult males, orders are to shoot and kill, even if that person is unarmed.” This kind of indiscriminate killing is illegal and falls far short of any gold standard for civilian harm. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

    DOD should stop treating civilian harm as if it were the inevitable, tragic cost of war. It is only by rejecting the military culture of impunity – and correcting systemic problems – that the United States can do better. My latest @just_security:
    justsecurity.org
    Tragic Mistakes: Breaking the Military Culture of Impunity
    Civilian harm in U.S. military operations is not merely a “tragic mistake.” It is a systemic failure that requires institutional reform.

    How does the idea of war legitimate violence that would otherwise be illegitimate? A fascinating book on how the concept of war affects the application of law.

    “Next week, I will be the first president to visit the Middle East since 9/11 without U.S. troops engaged in a combat mission there.” Misleading. The US is still at war in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia…and everywhere it chooses to apply the 2001 AUMF.

    Two decades later, America's longest war - the "war on terror" - hasn't ended. "Over-the-horizon" strikes (a term that reflects the increasing sanitization of force) shouldn't be presented as a moral alternative to war. It's just war by another name.
