Live your life in a way that ensures the Lemkin Institute won't have a reason to @ you about your behaviour.

WOW
A website is DOCUMENTING Israel’s crimes with GEOLOCATION, dates, categories of crimes, and footage of the incidents themselves.
One click and you can see EXACTLY what Israel did.
An enormous digital archive built for ACCOUNTABILITY.

I just read the new Haaretz article about how Israeli planted pines are suddenly dying en masse and it is absolutely worth dissecting. Here are a summary & my observations as a Palestinian scholar who writes on green colonialism. 1/

This is beyond horrifying.
New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Among them:
• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5
That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.
Israel isn’t “defending itself.”
It is wiping out Palestinian life.

My last report is downloadable on Rainews' platform: quite a development.
Thank to the conscientious journalists who have worked hard, from within the system, to have my findings and analyses land on mainstream platforms during this genocide.

A UN report confirms many BDS corporate targets are not only complicit in Israel's apartheid and genocide against Palestinians, they are illegally funding it too.
Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide urges “trade unions, lawyers, civil society and ordinary citizens to press for boycotts, divestments, sanctions, justice for Palestine and accountability at international and domestic levels.”
Corporations and States can no longer hide, they are enabling Israel’s #EconomyOfGenocide.
A UN report names companies complicit in Israel’s war and genocide on Gaza, including US giants and firms from China to Mexico.

Prison reform organizers in New Orleans pushed for a “Progressive DA” (Jason Williams) who has since signed a deal with a global private military contractor firm (thanks to his CIA buddy who works there) to use AI to hunt and track people in New Orleans… what happened next?

This is not business as usual.
My new UN report, From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide, is out today.
It shows how corporations have fueled and legitimised the destruction of Palestine.
Genocide, it would seem, is profitable. This cannot continue, accountability must follow.

Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day.

This is Madleen. Fisherwoman in Gaza. The namesake for the #FreedomFlotilla. Click for ways to support: linktr.ee/thesameerproject?u…
As Gaza’s first and only female fisherman, Madleen embodies the resilience of Palestinians in Gaza. The profession is dangerous as the occupation’s Naval ships fire upon the small boats on Gaza’s coastline trying to catch fish. Due to the occupation’s blockade of the land, air, and sea, Gaza cannot even provide the life sustenance that should be their right to gather from the plentiful Mediterranean Sea in which generations of Palestinians have benefited from.
During the ceasefire, The Sameer Project was going to support Madleen and other fisherman/woman with brand new nets and equipment, to return agency and allow them to continue with their profession. We were partnering with the Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (@apnorg) to make the purchases for this sustainable project.
The ceasefire ended, the massacres continued, and now the @gazafreedomflotilla named after Madleen is attempting to break an illegal and inhumane siege on Gaza. The world must act now to stop the occupation.
And when Gaza is liberated, we will be there to support and empower Madleen again.

People who rely on rules will get you killed. People who immediately say "this is illegal" "this is against policy" "they don't have the authority to do that" these are people who will get you killed. Not only will they get you killed, they will watch you die.
