Israel will not agree to a two-state solution so the UK may as well recognize Palestine now.

Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?

In response to Poland's disproportionate, unnecessary & unlawful decision to temporarily suspend asylum, @ec.europa.eu's silence speaks volumes. @adrianatidona.bsky.social tells @euobserver.com the law does nothing to address border security, only penalizing refugees & migrants.

I had not posted a quote by Francesca Albanese in a while, so here it is, this time for the bureaucrats. Primo Levi, incidentally, was a Holocaust survivor who committed suicide because of survivor's guilt and because of what he saw as indifference to the horrors his people had gone through.

Absolutely can't get over the fact that Alice Wiedel is married to a Sri Lankan woman, has two kids and lives outside of Germany. Oh yes, but no to migration, to non-traditional families, yes to nationalism. Contradictions and hypocrises do no longer matter if you are a white fascist populist.

I pointed out that evoking the world’s most notorious criminal organization in the context of Israel might spark yet another diplomatic uproar. “Oh, yeah,” she replied. “Let me stir controversy. It’s good. People pay attention.” Ancora una volta, signore e signori e signor3, Francesca Albanese🔥

Must-read for anyone considering attending ESIL this year at FU Berlin👇 "International Law is being dismantled before our eyes, [...] Let us put aside, for a moment, the unfinished writings and applications and make sure that Francesca Albanese is allowed to speak in Germany!"

Screenshot with text: "When pressure mounted and Berlin’s mayor, Kai Wegner, intervened, the president of Freie University caved in. President Ziegler cancelled the in-person event and justified this decision with the “present polarization and unpredictable security situation.” Upholding academic freedom only in words, not deeds, he offered the organizers could hold an online event.

Where is our outcry? Some of you have expressed regret about the violation of academic freedom that this incident entails. I thank you for that. Yet, I also have some questions. Why do you feel the need for public caveats, or for critique of the title and concept of the event with Francesca Albanese and Eyal Weizman “Conditions of Life Calculated to Destroy. Legal and Forensic Perspectives on the Ongoing Gaza Genocide” organized by four colleagues – not from international law but from FU’s faculty of philosophy? You “would have preferred a conception of the event which would not have anticipated the outcome of a debate in the title.” I understand that you might have done things differently; but is a statement so urgently needed to defend academic freedom really the right place for quarrels with colleagues about the design of an academic event?"

"The mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967 is to “investigate Israel’s violations of the principles and bases of international law, international humanitarian law and the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949, in the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since 1967”. This has been the case since the position was created in 1993. Francesca Albanese, in her work, has come to the conclusion that Israel commits genocide against the Palestinians. As international lawyers, we should welcome her to explain her findings. We should listen to her. Then we can ask questions and have a conversation. But we should not try to achieve some “fair balance” by inviting also “the other side.” Do we really want to turn our university debates into yet another mediocre talk show format?"

"I would like to invite you to watch the conversation with Albanese that the LMU’s Decolonial Practices Group was not allowed to hold at LMU and therefore livestreamed and recorded from another venue. Throughout the conversation, she reminded listeners of Germans’ and Europeans’ responsibility for the Holocaust and other genocides. This responsibility is what motivates and drives her work. She also reminded her audience of the fact that extermination of Jewish life in Germany was not limited to concentration camps and that Jews, even after the war, continued to face severe discrimination and antisemitism in Germany, but also other parts of Europe and the United States (I highly recommend The Brutalist on that latter point). She clearly denounces all violence against civilians. Seldom have I listened to an international lawyer talking with such intelligence and wit, with such ability to explain complex matters in an accessible way, with nuanced judgment, introspection, a willingness to learn and listen, fearlessness and dedication to justice – not just for Palestinians but for all who are victims of oppression."

Hi, Francesca Albanese still has not landed on Bluesky (and apparently neither has Greta Thunberg which is a shame) so here's another glimpse of hope and a brilliant visual example of intersectional resistance coming from the now very dark land of Twitter/X.
