The economy will do what the genocide in Gaza and the egregious violation of international law and the Genocide Convention did not. 3/3

If Israel does not stop attacking Lebanon, the Straits of Hurmuz will remain closed, and if the Straits of Hurmuz remain closed, the world economy will continue its downward spiral and leaders around the world will blame Netanyahu and Israel for the fallout. 2/3

Negotiations between the US and Iran begin today. Reading the news, we seem to be in the midst of a *monumental change* in western attitude towards Israel. The logic seems straightforward. 1/3

Ok get this, the pilots who drop two ton bombs on residential buildings killing scores of children, women and men in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran earned tens of thousands of dollars from betting on the war. How sick can these pilots get?

Check out the satellite images from July 2023 and February 2026. The Israeli military destroyed Shejaiya (Shuja'iyya) cemetery, located in the eastern neighborhood of Gaza City, and is now building a military base on top of it. This is settler colonialism 101.

Thanks to @SaulStaniforth for clipping and circulating this. My thoughts on the slow-motion genocide in Gaza and the limits of the juridification of resistance.

The Gaza Doctrine | Neve Gordon On Friday, March 13, nearly two weeks into the Lebanese front of “Operation Roaring Lion,” Israeli forces bombed Burj Qalaouiyah, a village in the

Focusing on attacks on health care I show how the Gaza Doctrine is metastasising to Lebanon and Iran just appeared.

As Israeli and US forces damage 13 hospitals and 14 Red Crescent clinics in Iran this is what Belinson Hospital in Israel publishes.

Addicted to violence and dispossession. The deputy head of the Israeli Knesset and her husband dressed up for the Jewish holiday Purim as an executioner and as occupation, expulsion, and settlement.

As many have already put it, Israel's and the United State's attacks on Iran are an act of military aggression, unprovoked and unjustifiable, a clear violation of international law.

High court rules ban on Palestine Action is unlawful – live Protest group’s co-founder wins legal challenge against decision to proscribe it under anti-terrorism laws

Moments of Collective Joy, to quote the one and only Lynne Segal.

Thrilled to have received the updated paperback edition of *Human Shields*, including a new Preface and Epilogue about the use of human shields during the genocide in Gaza.

Almost 20K patients in need need of lifesaving treatment, and yet: Gov to High Court: We will not allow seriously ill patients to be evacuated from Gaza to E. Jerusalem and the WB. This is necropolitics: "letting die" through neglect, systemic violence, and the creations of deathscapes.

The slow motion stage. Amidst the destruction and death, Israel has moved the yellow line another three hundred meters west.

The slow-motion stage.

Lynch pins are now sold in Israel.

Time and again Israeli president Herzog has proven his racist proclivities. I am now wondering what exactly he was thinking about yesterday when he told Chancellor Merz that the: "The global balance of power is clear – we are the ones defending Europe." Defending from what Mr Herzog?

How the Jewish Chronicle weaponises 'antisemitism' to fuel a moral panic Articles conflate pro-Palestinian activism with hatred of Jewish people, following the Israeli government's insidious playbook

Antisemitism is alive and well in the UK but the oldest surviving Jewish newspaper seems set on using antisemitism not so much to fight racism, but to defend a racist regime and cover up horrific violations. By abusing the term, the JC is harming the Jews it claims to represent - myself included.

The Max Planck Society has co-established a research centre for democracy, security and human rights in Israel.

@gordonneve.bsky.social says the decision is “extremely controversial” and that it plays a role in the “whitewashing of…genocide”.

Jonathan Rosenhead describes it as "beyond parody"

Thrilled to be taking part in the annual health and humanitarian crisis conference at LSHTM.

@perugininic.bsky.social and I just received the new cover of the paperback edition of human shields, that will include a new preface and epilogue about human shields in Gaza and Ukraine.

Speaking at Kings College later today on the targeted assassination of Palestinian journalists. If you have time do join us.

Flying to the International Committee of the Red Cross expert workshop on achieving meaningful protection for hospitals in armed conflict. This is data I will be keeping in mind during the conversations with military lawyers, academics and humanitarians.

My article on the Jewish Chronicle and the weaponisation of antisemitism is out and is open access.
