Professor William Schabas, a leading authority on genocide, says South Africa's case against Israel at the ICJ is “arguably the strongest case of genocide ever brought before the Court" and the US and Germany risk liability as “accomplices to genocide.” populismstudies.org/professor-scha…

The UK has clear obligations under the Genocide Convention and our own domestic laws. Given his role in the genocide Israel has inflicted on Palestine, the only way to comply with those obligations is to arrest President Herzog the moment his plane lands.

The Sheikh President "Al-Sharaa has cultivated the image of a “custodian of Islamic identity and national morality"... He is often referred to as a “Sheikh-President”, blending political authority with religious symbolism." By Sima BEITINJANEH newlinesinstitute.org/sustainable-fu…

The ramifications of #Syria's president taking the title of Sheikh sends a powerful message to his followers. In reading the testimony of Alawites on the coast, one discovers that many of the regime soldiers who attacked citizens were led by "sheikhs." The sheikhs were the

Transitional justice, becomes something very different once religious and military authority are united. No longer is justice about wrong doing or crimes committed under the Assad regime, instead justice takes on a religious meaning. Crime is not being a Muslim; it is about

Here’s why I have less than no sympathy for Angela Rayner. Ahmed-dalloul, a Palestinian takeaway owner, was a constituent of hers. She’d met him several times, visited his shop and posed for pictures with him, emphasised her support for Palestinian freedom. She gave him a tour

Sources say Israel bombed sites that were being prepared as Turkish bases. Is this the harbinger of direct conflict?

One of the most disgusting things I have read in quite some time. Daniel Raab, an American from Chicago who became a sniper in the IDF, brags about how he killed unarmed Palestinian teenagers in Gaza. The callousness with which he brags about his war crimes will send chills

I volunteer! Plenty of diplomatic experience and the British people can rely on me to tell Trump what we think of him.

Just 5 days ago, Keir Starmer welcomed Isaac Herzog into 10 Downing Street. Today, a UN Commission has found that: “Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, have incited the commission of genocide.” Genocide.
