If a single Jewish-Israeli child were pulled out from beneath a pile of rubble of what used to be her home & obliterated the rest of her family, not a single Western gov’t would not condemn it or try to blame “both sides”. Racism & colonialism explain this. They expect us to die.

If, at this point, as you witness a massacre of starving Palestinians scrambling for food as well as the images of babies that starved to death or died because of dehydration, & you are still not demanding a ceasefire, you are an ideologue beyond compulsion & part of the problem.

The US has yet to recognize its elimination of indigenous ppl as genocide. Germany has yet to recognize its campaign against the Herero Nama as genocide. The ICJ narrowly found that only the Srebenica massacre constituted genocide. The final word on genocide is not a legal one.

Noura Erakat ( @4noura ) argues that even if the ICJ rules that Israel's actions have not - in its eyes - met the legal definition of genocide, that does not invalidate the argument that its assault on Gaza is still genocidal, according to any reasonable moral criteria:
