       #Iceland and the #Netherlands filed declarations of intervention on 11 March 2026 under Article 63 of the #ICJ Statute in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, seeking to interpret the Genocide Convention in light of Israel’s Gaza campaign; they are among more than 50 interventions (including 18 by states) that support the view Israel’s actions in #Gaza (mass killing, starvation, forced displacement and widespread infrastructure destruction) amount to genocide.https://www.commondreams.org/news/netherlands-iceland-israel-icj-genocide-caseMeanwhile, #US (who’s party to genocide in providing Israel with financial and military aid) joined #ICJ case to claim that genocide allegations against Israel are 'False'https://www.commondreams.org/news/icj-us-israel#iceland #netherlands #icj #gaza #gazagenocide #israel #warcrimes

       Nothing against paganism, but did the penny finally drop for people who don’t understand how dangerous fucking Thiel is and, by association, anyone he endorsed or supports for public office?Benanti argues that Thiel's vision, despite a Christian mask, is structurally pagan.[…] He also calls out Thiel’s love for The Sovereign Individual, a 1997 book that taught Thiel “to view technology not only as an instrument of profit, but as a tool for managing the decline of liberal democratic institutions.” Benanti further connects Thiel’s ideas to the TESCREAL movement—“philosophies, championed notably by Elon Musk, see technology as the instrument for transcending the biological and social limitations of humanity.” TESCREAL ideologies like transhumanism and longtermism are Silicon Valley’s true religion. Thiel’s Antichrist meditations attempt to put a Christian mask on these ideas, but Benanti argues that Thiel’s vision is structurally pagan.@tend2wobble#TESCREAL

       “Expelling people from their homes is not heroism.”The post translated from Hebrew describes what a systematic pattern in the West Bank of settler-military coordination to drive Palestinian herders and farmers off their land through intimidation, night raids, arbitrary detention, and access denial looks like in the most direct violent daily interaction between Israeli soldiers (war criminals) and Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. These practices have been characterized by the UN and human rights groups as forcible transfer — which is a war crime under the Rome Statute.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Translation — Iris’s Post (Facebook)To the mother of Corporal Maya,You’re probably missing your daughter who stayed over Shabbat. So know that she’s fine. She and her unit companions didn’t sleep last night — they’re busy with a mission.How do I know? Because she’s featured in videos and photos documenting their operational activity. They’ve been there for weeks already, day and night.Maya serves in the Jordan Valley Brigade. Her mission — hers and her companions’ — is to make sure no Palestinian shepherd goes out with his flock or cattle to graze.Maybe you’re asking why.The goal is simple: to break the shepherds, to make them pack up themselves and their families and leave. To leave another piece of land empty of Palestinians.Don’t worry — Maya and her companions wear masks. They can’t be identified.I’m sure you’re proud of your daughter. Proud that she’s a combat soldier.I’m just wondering whether this is the upbringing she meant when she told me that’s how she was raised.To shout at women and children.To enter a home in the middle of the night.To wake children at three in the morning.To turn a home upside down.You can be proud of her persistence. Her dedication to the mission. In the evening she didn’t find the “wanted” person. Before dawn she came back.After the shepherd proved he wouldn’t go out to graze, she waived the arrest. For this time.The next day she was called out again. A settler reported that the shepherd had “dared” to go out.Threatening to arrest his wife — a mother of five small children — did the job.The shepherd came home. Maya handcuffed him in front of his children and put him in a jeep.After a few hours he was left in the field, in the dark, in the cold, with a blindfold over his eyes.Maya’s mother,Next time you talk, maybe ask her why.Why she thinks it’s okay to prevent people from living as they have lived for decades.Why it’s okay to enter a home with a weapon and terrorize children.Why it’s okay to turn a home upside down.Maya has a weapon. A disaster could happen.And she will have to live with what she has done.Please, tell her:Expelling people from their homes is not heroism.This is not feminism.This is not humane.There are orders it is permitted to refuse.This is not what you gave birth to her for.This is not what you raised her for.@zvinj #palestine #israel #warcrimes #apartheid #ethniccleansing #zionism #idf

       “When it’s framed as a trade, it distorts the reality,” said Jasmine Mickens, a postgraduate student of history and government at Harvard University. “It was not a consensual joint business enterprise.”https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/25/un-votes-slave-trade-gravest-crime-against-humanity-reparatory-justiceMost all EU countries and the UK abstained. #USA #Israel and #Argentina voted against. Israel has historically invoked Holocaust memory and international frameworks around crimes against humanity, yet voted against extending that moral-legal category here. The same legal frameworks and reparations logic could be applied to #Palestinian dispossession. The #ICJ already mandated Israel to end its occupation, dismantle its settlements, provide full reparations to Palestinian victims and facilitate the return of displaced people. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/07/experts-hail-icj-declaration-illegality-israels-presence-occupied#usa #israel #argentina #palestinian #icj #palestine #gazagenocide

       Arielle Angel, 41, is editor-in-chief of Jewish Currents magazine. Her father's family were Ladino-speaking Holocaust survivors from Salonika; her grandmother survived 20 months in Auschwitz.  She grew up in Miami in a "very Zionist" home, Israel flag at school, March of the Living in Poland, summer camps, where she learned to speak about Israel in first person: "We did." Since becoming editor in 2018 at age33, she has transformed the dormant magazine into a platform for American Jews seeking alternatives to Zionism. For many of its 10,000 print subscribers (and approximately 2.5 million annual visitors to its digital version), it represents a community center and critical space for discussion of American-Jewish-leftist identity that is trying to reinvent itself. She now defines herself as anti-Zionist and says she may never return to Israel despite family there. She draws on doikayt - "here-ness" in Yiddish - the Bundist concept of building Jewish life where you are rather than orienting toward Israel.On separation from Israel:"Something happened that cannot be simply rationalized or turned back. Israelis committed genocide. That needs to be accepted. Truth and reconciliation are needed. And until then, I feel my work is to encourage separation. I think it's also good for Israel. If we agree that the conditions for internal change don't exist, we must believe in some form of public pressure. And public pressure from world Jewry can have an impact."On Zionism emptying Judaism: "It's so strange to claim that Israel is still the heart of our Judaism only in negative. In the Judaism of American Zionists there is nothing but Zionism. Zionism itself is what emptied Judaism of content. Not alone, of course—there was a whole history here. The truth is that for most non-observant Israelis it's the same thing. So the problem of the American Jewish left is not exceptional."On the need for new institutions: "If we aspire to weaken Zionism within Jewish communities, we'll need to develop a robust vision for contemporary Judaism; to meet those who want to extricate themselves from the rot with something beautiful and true in our hands," she wrote. "We cannot ask them to jump and refuse to catch them."On whether Jews bear responsibility for consequences of Israel's actions: "Israel changed the status of Jews in the entire world. We are experiencing more violence because of Israel's claim that we are its agents... When foreign governments console Netanyahu for Jews murdered in Sydney, that endangers us."Hebrew https://www.haaretz.co.il/magazine/2026-03-25/ty-article-magazine/.highlight/0000019d-24f4-d7c1-a59f-eeffb4490000 or https://archive.ph/Xj17q#zionism #israel #warcrimes #gazagenocide #JewishCurrents #antizionism

       Case in point:  Zionism is becoming toxic. A resolution proposed for the Democratic National Committee calls for rejecting funding from #AIPAC, citing concerns over the pro-Israel lobby's significant spending in Democratic primaries and its influence on party positions regarding Palestinian rights and U.S. foreign policy.https://journa.host/@theintercept/116301987960951678#uspol #proisraellobby #dnc

       @rms @SubductionRheology Just a reminder: for this bunch of Christian nationalists, the end game is that Israel will be the site of the ultimate showdown between good and evil, at which Jews will burn or convert, and after which Jesus will rule the world for a thousand years from a throne on the Temple Mount. And there’s little doubt who’s good and who’s evil either. So #Israel gets a carte blanche. Whatever the crime: occupation, starvation, genocide, bombing and indiscriminate killing of civilians, its self-defense. No #UN resolutions ever enforced, no war crimes ever prosecuted, no questions ever asked. This US Christian nationalist fan club actually wants the war to happen, destroy everything, get the Jews back in the Holy Land, and set the end times in motion. It’s the Middle Ages all over again.As James Talarico said recently: “there is nothing Christian about #ChristianNationalism,” nor is the anything Jewish about #Zionism. Just a hollow shell of death and destruction.#gazagenocide #Iran

       When the perpetrator is a #Jewish far-right actor targeting a pro-Palestinian activist, mainstream #US coverage tends toward clinical legal framing (“firearms charges,” “destructive devices”). When the roles are reversed, “terrorism” and “terrorist” appear in paragraph one. The #FBI’s own designation of the Jewish Defense League is as a terrorist organization. Alexander Heifler, 26, from Hoboken, New Jersey, is a TERRORIST. A more accurate headline would have been: Arrest of pro-Israel terror group member prevents plot to assassinate pro-Palestinian leader in New York City https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/arrest-of-pro-israel-terror-group-member-prevents-plot-to-assassinate-pro-palestinian-leader-in-new-york-city/3882511#jewish #us #fbi #jewishterrorism #palestine #nyc #mediabias #jdl

       Also, very likely dual nationality settler. One of those currently terrorizing Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Hopefully he’ll be neutralized at least in the USA.

       The #IDF acknowledges it cannot fully disarm #Hezbollah without conquering all of #Lebanon and will instead propose a 2-3 km security zone in southern Lebanon with evacuated villages to minimize friction with civilians. Meanwhile, warmongering Defense Minister Katz declared all border village homes will be destroyed under the "Rafah model" while blocking return of 600,000+ residents. The military counters that only terror infrastructure will be targeted, not wholesale destruction.Hebrew https://www.haaretz.co.il/news/politics/2026-04-03/ty-article/.premium/0000019d-51fb-da4e-a5df-5bffcf520000 or https://archive.ph/uIrLw#Israel #WarCrimes #Zionism #LebanonEthnicCleansing #GazaGenocide

       @JapanProf the Biden admin enabled what’s happening now when it financed and looked away from what Israel did in Gaza. War crimes and genocide as far as the U.S. political class and the grifters currently running it are concerned are really the new diplomacy of realpolitik. Morality is not part of that. #gazagenocide #uspol #Iran

       #Israel announced that #Spain will no longer participate in the Coordination and Supervision Center for the Truce in #Gaza (#CMCC). Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar stated that Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government has a "flagrant anti-Israeli bias" (as in: will not shut up about the Gaza genocide) that make it incapable of being a useful (complicit) factor in the “peace plan” (property development) for Gaza.

Spain is reopening its embassy in Tehran. Hand in hand.

       #Israel wants to give #Trump the so-called Israel Prize for Peace 🤮 If there was ever a more brazen insult to the word peace, I can’t think of one. What’s sure, he should absolutely share it with #Biden. I could comment on how fitting it is for Trump to share a stage with genocide enthusiast Rabbi Abraham Zerviv, but Trump is so thirsty for validation from outside his fascist fan club, he probably wouldn’t mind. Accepting a prize from the genocide state is both pathetic and very fitting. Reports suggest he won’t be showing up in person anyway. https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/116376128937501377#EpsteinFiles

       Israels ambassador to #Germany, Ron Prosor, condemned Israeli finance minister Bezalel #Smotrichs tirade against German Chancellor Friedrich #Merz, stating that Smotrichs reference to the Nazi regime eroded the memory of the #Holocaust.[…] Mr Chancellor, the days when Germans dictated to Jews where they were permitted or forbidden to live are over and shall not return.

Unit 8200 cyberwarfare support — Provides Dell Pro-Rugged 13 AI-powered laptops to Israel's notorious cyberwarfare force for intelligence gathering, surveillance, and military operations in West Bank4. Mass surveillance at checkpoints — Supplies servers enabling AnyVision's facial recognition at checkpoints, plus tech for #CISCO Israel and Cognyte to track Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank5. R&D supporting settlement expansion — Dell subsidiaries partner in National Cyber Park in Naqab, strengthening illegal settlements and displacing Palestinian Bedouin communities6. CEO pro-Israel donation — Michael Dell donated $350M in shares to Israel one month into Gaza genocide (October 2023), posted photo with Israeli President Isaac Herzog saying "honor to stand with Israel"7. Elite military unit support — Technology benefits Golani Brigade (implicated in Rafah paramedic murders), Flotilla 13 naval unit, Israeli air force, and #Elbit Systems weapons manufacturer8. Corporate profiteer designation — #BDS movement lists Dell as priority boycott target in "No Tech for Oppression, Apartheid or Genocide" campaign; called corporate profiteer of occupation, apartheid, and genocide alongside #Google, #Amazon, #Intel, #Microsoft

       RE: https://tooot.im/@zvinj/116922835864077940People outside of Israel will not understand what’s involved in protesting against the government, let alone for the legal rights of a Palestinian.

       RE: https://scholar.social/@gedankenstuecke/117146471046158781The nonprofits did everything #Microsoft asked and still got wiped so the company could free up storage for #AI. That same AI and cloud capacity is what Microsoft sold to the #Israeli military to store mass surveillance of #Palestinians and run the targeting systems used to kill people in #Gaza. So a children's charity loses 500GB of irreplaceable data, and the room it vacated helps power a war machine. That's the trade Microsoft made, and it tells you exactly where you rank when you depend on handouts from a USA corporation. #microsoft #ai #israeli #palestinians #gaza #gazagenocide #selfhostingRT: https://scholar.social/users/gedankenstuecke/statuses/117146471046158781
