Robbie Sebel, academic in International Law at the Israeli Hebrew University, based in West Jerusalem is on 'Inside Story' (Al Jazeera).
Absolutely mind boggling wilful denial of the overwhelming evidence of Israeli war crimes and genocide in #Gaza. He'd better hope the programme isn't being viewed in The Hague.
This is so fucked up: Israeli settlers destroying truckloads of food on Gaza aid convoy.
How do we describe these people? I'm at a loss for words.
"Aid agencies are running out of food in southern Gaza amid Israel’s ongoing offensive in Rafah and the shutdown of the two main border crossings in the south. Some 1.1 million Palestinians are on the brink of starvation, according to the United Nations, while a “full-blown famine” is taking place...”
“I was threatened with arrest and manhandled for doing my job, as far as I can tell.
“I was reporting on the protesters blockading the Thales arms factory in Govan, when one aggressive officer took issue with me being there.
“The police officer in question – who appeared to have some level of authority – repeatedly refused to identify himself or explain what I had been doing to warrant an arrest."
"IHRA’s working definition of anti-Semitism is “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews... also encompasses the “targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity”."
Al Jazeera: "US [Congress] passes controversial bill that expands definition of anti-Semitism".
In Spain, hundreds of unmarked mass graves from the 1936-39 Civil War and its aftermath continue to be discovered and investigated. Tens of thousands of victims have yet to be identified.
More great analysis from Olga Rodríguez in el cambio.es.
"Con su veto, la Administración de Joe Biden contribuye de nuevo a reforzar la impunidad de Israel, obstaculiza otro camino diplomático y compra tiempo para que Tel Aviv despliegue su política de hechos consumados."
Can someone please introduce David Cameron to the Israeli government?
Guardian: “It’s clear the Israelis are making a decision to act,” and that “We hope they do so in a way that does as little to escalate this as possible [Cameron said].”
Limor Son Har-Melech, a far right member of the Israeli Knesset and the hardline Jewish Power party, has said there are secret Israeli plans to establish settlements in Gaza.
She said that starting in the next session of the Israeli Knesset, “you will see practical steps, including plans, and work in government offices and security services. There is intensive work behind the scenes on this.”

The tsunami of slurry in defence of poor wee vulnerable Israel and its relentlessly oppressed population, defenceless against the Iranian hordes is in full flow this morning across all "public service broadcasters".
"Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a British-Palestinian medic, has claimed he was invited to... a conference in Berlin about his work as a surgeon in #Gaza but was denied entry to the country.
"Abu-Sittah is a world-leading expert on war-injured patients and children and was also elected as Glasgow University’s Rector last month."
The National: "Glasgow University Rector 'forcibly prevented' from entering Germany."
Varoufakis spoke about the Berlin conference on Al Jazeera this morning. Apparently they sent in 2500 police officers yesterday on the pretext that a crime "might be committed". Shades of "Minority Report" at an event organised by Jewish and non-Jewish groups. The first arrest was a Jewish lady holding up a placard protesting against #IsraelGenocide. Dr Abu Sitta has been told he'll be prosecuted if he addresses the conference by video.
The Guardian: "Iranian attack on Israel expected ‘sooner rather than later’, says Joe Biden. President said US are ‘devoted to the defence of Israel’ as he urged Tehran to show restraint."
What did the daft old bugger think would happen when the psychotic Israelis bombed an Iranian diplomatic post in Syria (quite possibly as the US's proxy)?
"A recent Reuters article titled “Israeli soldiers play with Gaza women’s underwear in online posts” describes how combatants from the world’s self-appointed “most moral army” have been “posting photos and videos of themselves toying with lingerie found in Palestinian homes, creating a dissonant [sic] visual record of the war in #Gaza”."
