While we are disappointed that the crime of Genocide wasn't taken into account by the International Court of Justice, we recognize the importance of this court advisory opinion. Full statement in the link. Thread below 🧵1/8

We can only hope that this advisory opinion will not be exploited in the future to further violate the right of self determination of the indigenous Palestinian people on their land. 8/8
..more than ever- considering the court recognizes the occupied Palestinian territories "single territorial unit"- transparently targets Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank as part of a single genocidal plan. 4/8
Above all, 'Israel Genocide' maintains our stance, since our founding, that Israel's colonialism (ie. "alterations to demographic composition") not only "have no legal validity", but rather.. 2/8
..the dangerous limitations the court has set on the Right of Return which is an inalienable right, recognized by the UN General Assembly in Resolution 194, in 1948. 7/8
Furthermore, understanding that the court has deliberately been limited by the UN in its scope, for its own political agenda, we also reject the framing which doesn't encompass the whole of historical Palestine and point to.. 6/8
The only hint we found in the advisory opinion that the crime of genocide may be applicable is in article #239:
"by virtue of the right to self-determination, a people is protected against acts aimed at dispersing the population and undermining its integrity as a people." 5/8
"It's strange to be standing up here when we are witnessing the genocide of the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israeli settler colonial state.. And I would demand that our government.. stop being complicit in it." -- Tatiana Maslany

Dave Reed on @Mondoweiss points to Israeli army Major, David Ben Zion, as the man who started probably the most dangerous incitement to genocide in Israel's most recent genocidal episode against the indigenous Palestinian people.

2- In the past two years, Israel has executed over 400 Palestinians in the streets of the West Bank. A fourth of them children, the majority of them youth. Tens of thousands have been injured.
19- We urge one and all to consider The Crime of Genocide, as defined in a declaration made by the General Assembly of the United Nations in its resolution 96 (I) dated 11 December 1946:

We believe @KarimKhanQC's neutrality is compromised and that he is not fit for purpose. Due process in the Palestinian case is violated, and the credibility of the @IntlCrimCourt significantly eroded. We call on the court to remove him from office.

In an interview with Haaretz, ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan says that after his three-day visit to Israel, he has “reason to believe” that actions defined as crimes according to international law were committed by Hamas on October 7

6- House demolitions have doubled in 2016, leaving over a thousand people homeless, over half of them children. Meanwhile Israel has green-lighted thousands more settler housing projects, quadrupling the number since 2016. The highest rate of settlement construction since 2004.
Third Report of the @UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the OPT "finds that Israel has implemented a concerted policy to destroy the health-care system of Gaza... constituting the crime against humanity of extermination."

21- We urge one and all to consider the crime of Genocide, as defined in a declaration made by the General Assembly of the United Nations in its resolution 96 (I) dated 11 December 1946 in regards to Israel's actions against the indigenous Palestinian people:
We are very concerned about due process as @KarimKhanQC, rather than use the past days as an opportunity to enter Gaza & speak to the survivors of genocide, he preferred to go to Israel.
We are also concerned about the @IntlCrimCourt contending occupied east Jerusalem is Israel.
#ICC Chief Prosecutor @KarimKhanQC is visiting #Israel at the request and invitation of survivors & the families of victims of the 7 October attacks.
The Prosecutor will also visit #Ramallah, State of #Palestine, meeting w/ senior Palestinian officials.
Examining the limits and possibilities of international law as a tool for achieving accountability, @4noura Erakat brings up the disparities between indigenous self-determination, knowledge, and experience, and the forces imposed on it.

7- There are almost half a million Israelis colonizing about 70% of the West Bank (about a half of them are new immigrants with foreign nationality,a 6th of all settlers have American nationality), while 3 million indigenous Palestinians are under Israel's tight military control.
