I remember when the Rome Statute was adopted in 1998. It was celebrated across Europe as a major milestone of civilization. Today, Europe has sacrificed the civilizational achievement of the ICC to protect Netanyahu as he commits genocide in Gaza. Here he is flying over Greece,

Buchenwald concentration camp memorial made a booklet of possibly antisemitic statements. It includes “ceasefire now”.

To put this in context, the terrible 1929 Hebron Massacre, one of the worst tragedies suffered by the Jewish community in Mandate Palestine, resulted in 69 innocent deaths. It has been the subject of many books and studies, and is still constantly referenced. Now around double

As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality. A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.

Short thread; In June this year, I was a the University of Cambridge to give a talk on the role of scholarship in the face of wars and genocides with a focus on #Tigray.
