A technocratic response: they have not concluded that Israel is conducting genocide, but they have not concluded that Israel is not conducting genocide. Absolved of any duty to act now but covering their backs when charges of complicity are brought later. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Truly kafkaesque and outrageous. After months of blockade the Israeli government has set up aid distribution points, prohibited Palestinians from accessing them, and warned them that they will be shot if they try. Why is this allowed to continue?
