I was verbally assaulted in Georgetown for 14 minutes by a woman for being Arab. I was standing on the corner of M and Wisconsin silently demonstrating to appeal to hearts & minds to stop the killing of Palestinian babies. I was told I should be burned, jailed, deported, & worse.
A “humanitarian pause,” perfectly timed with American

people while we host a meal rooted in displacing

Extremely thorough, powerful & robust arguments by South Africa against Israel for its genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. The facts, images & reality should haunt the world for decades to come: the world failed Gaza. Time to hold perpetrators of genocide accountable
11 January 2023 - ICJ, The Hague
Watching African women & men fighting to save humanity & the int'l legal system against the ruthless attacks supported/enabled by most of the West will remain one of the defining images of our time. This will make history whatever happens.

British barrister Vaughan Lowe very skillfully and powerfully presents a case on "Israel's inability to see that it is grinding Gaza and it's people into the dust" at the International Court of Justice case of South Africa against Israel for the crimes of genocide.
This was a really hard interview to do-- so much abuse, injustice and inhumanity.
I'm so inspired by the bravery and courage of Nursimangul and Mihrigul.
