@BlackAzizAnansi that's basically #HostageTaking and #CollectivePunishment - both are very much illegal in every juristiction that isn't a facist hellhole....

Ooooo! The #IsraelLobby is really gonna be pissed off with this ⤵️ being published!

“#UN committee releases exhaustive study on the legality of #Israel’s occupation: ‘The study is the most comprehensive and persuasive analysis of why the Israel #occupation has now become illegal,’ says former UN Special Rapporteur Michael Lynk. ‘It will be the intellectual and political touchstone on #Palestine and international law for some time.’”

by Jeff Wright in @mondoweiss

“Last week, the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) issued a study two years in the making: ‘The Legality of the #Israeli #Occupation of the #OccupiedTerritories, Including East #Jerusalem.’”

“Following a finding of #illegality, the study concludes that, according to international law:

the consequences should be the immediate, unconditional and total withdrawal of Israel’s military forces; the withdrawal of colonial settlers; and the dismantling of the military administrative regime, with clear instructions that withdrawal of breach of an internationally wrongful act is not subject to negotiation. Full and commensurate reparations should be accorded to the affected Palestinian individuals, corporations and entities for the generational harm caused by Israel’s land and property appropriations, house demolitions, pillage of natural resources, denial of return, and other war crimes against humanity orchestrated for the colonialist, annexationists aims of an illegal occupant.”

“Judge acquits two #Palestine Action protesters who shut down a #drone factory because their actions were ‘proportionate’”

By Steve Topple in @thecanaryuk

#A judge has acquitted two #PalestineAction activists after they blockade the entrance to a drone engine-making factory that supplies #ElbitSystems, #Israel’s largest privately owned arms company. Crucially, the judge let them off using a precedent of proportionality versus what they were protesting – that is, the pair’s actions were reasonable compared to what the drones would have done in the #OccupiedTerritories.

Back in September 2022, Jasmine and Iola were protesting at #UAVEngines Ltd, which is owned by #Elbit Systems. This was part of an ongoing activist camp at the site in #Shenstone. #UAV specialises in making engines for combat drones.

Palestine Action said in a press release that:

Elbit openly market these as ‘battle-tested’ on the Palestinian population. The #Hermes450 aircraft has been used to surveil and attack the people of #Gaza for over a decade, decimating thousands of lives.”

#Biko was a great man! Thanks for the reminder!

Interestingly, Wikipedia notes that he was a proponent of ‘African Socialism’ & believed that a socialist society was necessary to ensure social justice.

“He believed that, if post-apartheid South Africa remained capitalist, some black people would join the bourgeoisie but inequality and poverty would remain. As he put it, if South Africa transitioned to proportional democracy without socialist economic reforms, then ‘it would not change the position of economic oppression of the blacks"’.

…. which, sadly, is exactly what’s happened. The country has stayed largely Capitalist & millions of indigenous people remain in poverty!

Rhetorical question: When #Israel’s #Apartheid is no more & #Palestine is free “from the river to the sea”, which Palestinians will we remember in the same way that we now remember Biko, Mandela, Tutu, Sisulu, Tambo, Goldberg, Slovo & Suzman?

Will it be Kareem Younis who spent 40 years in Israeli prison? Will it be the resisters of the #Jenin refugee camp or the population of #Gaza who have endured multiple brutal attacks from land, sea & air by #Israel’s ‘most moral army in the world? Will it be Shireen Abu Akleh, the Al Jazeera journalist assassinated by an Israeli sniper whilst doing her job in Jenin? Who knows?

How India's Bulldozers Became a Vehicle of Injustice

In many BJP-governed states, especially in northern India, demolition drives have not only become a common tactic to quash Muslim dissent, but bulldozers have evolved as a Hindu-nationalist symbol. They feature during election victories, in parade floats in both India and abroad, on packets of chips, and in several Hindu nationalist anthems.

Demolitions as state-sanctioned collective punishment

Abandoning the rule of law for ‘bulldozer justice’ is the first step towards an authoritarian society where ensuring a person’s safety, life and liberty will be at the whims and fancies of state officials, writes Gautam Bhatia.

@atomicpoet Sounds like a form of #CollectivePunishment akin to #NorthKorea's penal system.

@caseynewton yeah, I'm stoll furiois because #YouTube lashed out #CollectivePunishment against my 4 channels during #AdPocalypse despite me following every rule to the letter and never having any strikes on anything, yet the hatemonger and insurrectionist is being wecomed back despite his high treason and failed coup attempt...

Yesterday in Labor History March 16, 2003: Israeli Defense Forces murdered American activist Rachel Corrie in Rafah by running over her with a bulldozer. She had been defending a Palestinian home that the IDF was trying to demolish as part of their collective punishment of the Palestinian people.

If Leah is on an instance that is failing to moderate well, and that instance is defederated by some other instances, Leah might be inclined to migrate, which is how the social pressure of defederation is supposed to work, I think. But if migration means losing all her posts, she may be hesitant to do so! Is it technically feasible to include posts in the migration tools? It would be nice to save bystanders from being harmed in this way! #migration #defederation #SunkCosts #CollectivePunishment
