Here’s my full interview @mrjamesob.bsky.social’s show @lbc.co.uk on why I think Israel is committing genocide. Once again many thanks for having me! youtu.be/ZHPGh8jZySI?...

Many thanks to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for inviting me to his show to discuss the concept of genocide and why we need broader definitions. Not narrow excuses.

I made a video essay explaining why, in my view, Israel is committing genocide under international law. I hope this helps frame the issue a little bit better and explain why there is a consensus among academics that this is indeed a genocide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmCl...

There’s an old video on Twitter showing him demolishing a mosque and laughing about it with other soldiers

Peruvian independent media outlet La Encerrona has identified the Israeli soldier being investigated for genocide in Peru as Adi Karni, from the 603rd Batallion, adding he might still be in Peru.

The law firm representing the @hindrajabfoundation.be in Peru has added some clarity: the charge against the Israeli soldier in Peru is indeed genocide. The Peruvian Office of the DA has opened an investigation

The key problem is that much of the discourse on unlawful, condemnable violence is operating as if a genocide killing an estimated 100,000 people, injuring 150,000 and starving 2 million is *not* unlawful or condemnable

Ironically, while states don’t have a “right to exist” under international law, peoples under foreign domination do absolutely have an unquestionable right to declare themselves free from said domination. So… Free Palestine.

Some initial thoughts on this case, since, you know… I’m Peruvian. 🧵 1) There’s domestic debate as to whether Peruvian Criminal Law regulates “pure” universal jurisdiction as opposed to an aut desere aut judicare (“extradite or prosecute”) obligation.

It’s nice to see @martinshaw.bsky.social @drmelob.bsky.social @dirkmoses.bsky.social and @vukusiciva.bsky.social get the recognition they deserve as the top names in the field. Academia sometimes is too far away from the mainstream searchlights and we need people listening to top experts like them

Things are moving fast… a new consent is being manufactured in real time and man does it make the paranoia and persecution that preceded this look completely and utterly artificial. We are mere pawns

Emily Thornberry, the Starmer Whisperer, calling for Palestine to be recognise? Yeah… that June Conference is going to [*checks the “What the Kids Are Saying” dictionary*] slay

Piers Morgan calling Gaza a genocide… People have lost jobs, they’ve been investigated for antisemitism, doxxed, threatened, blacklisted… And then all of a sudden someone somewhere gave the green light for the g-word to be politically safe… Sigh… this world is messed up

Piers Morgan literally inviting people to his show so they can say the N-word now. Wtf

The thing to consider is what was lost to secure this? Will Saudi Arabia recognise Israel in a French-organised conference, outside the context of the Abraham Accords? It would be a big EU blow to MAGA and signals current 🇪🇺🇨🇦 dissatisfaction with US by moving away from its leadership

There is a High-Level Conference on the 2 State Solution organised by France and Saudi Arabia on June 2. It is expected to lead to France, Canada, Japan, Belgium and others to recognise Palestine. It’s amazing how states just changed the global discourse ahead of it

It’s like some bureaucrat flipped a switch and made it politically safe to say Israel is committing a genocide. Here is Theo Von - “the Next Joe Rogan” talking about how “it feels like genocide”. He just uploaded a clip of this on Twitter, to the fury of Zionist Twitter youtu.be/0x75tcB8Tnw?...

So thinking aloud here: is Keir Starmer gearing up to recognise Palestine thinking it will bring back Labour voters without alienating Reform voters, who don’t care about foreign policy so long as you keep the foreigners away?
