We are very worried because we wanted to propose an @opiniojuris pop culture symposium event at next year's Glastonburg festival, starring the resistance's greatest hits, like @alattar_mohsen's annihilation and rape as a tool of de-normalization.
The backlash to Bob Vylan’s set is disgusting, and I worry that Glastonbury will no longer be a safe space for people who want to kill Jews.

🚨🚨🚨CLARIFICATION🚨🚨🚨. The Zionist regime is the most evil regime of all time. This is why @opiniojuris obsesses about anything the Zionist regime does.

We are not deranged 😡. We are pointing out the obvious truth, which you incontestably share:. We must ignore the sex-for-Palestine allegation against our Supreme Leader @kevinjonheller’s man, @KarimKhanQC, lest his lifelong dream of prosecuting @netanyahu becomes derailed.

Well said @MarkKersten! As you astutely imply, we cannot allow the @KarimKhanQC's sex-for-Palestine allegations taint the cherubic process supported by our Supreme Leader @kevinjonheller.
Man wanted on war crimes charges denounces reports that his soldiers were ordered to commit war crimes. A tale as old as war crimes.

Although Iran deliberately targeted civilians, as admitted here, this is not a problem and does not merit any comment by international law Twitter academics™ because actions by Global South countries can never be wrong.
Khamenei is actually bragging about intentionally targeting civilians in Israel. This is a WAR CRIME!. Where is @antonioguterres? Where is @CIJ_ICJ & @IntlCrimCourt? Where are all the so-called human rights champions and int’l law warriors? Your silence & hypocrisy is deafening!

We reject this and call for @ComicDaveSmith to mansplain the terrorist propaganda to @elicalebon again so she accepts it.

So many reasons to love this take:. ✝️The Vatican is blatantly a state. ✝️It is so highly affected by the laws of war. ✝️The Pope made unequivocal remarks on discrete rules. ✝️The Pope is the undisputed leader of decolonized international law. Get in line @BrianCox_RLTW
I’m no fan of the Papacy but in this specific case, the Pope does not speak “pretending to be a scholar of IHL” but on his condition as Head of State of Vatican City and as Pope of the Holy See. His positions on IHL therefore represent state practice / opinio juris.

He is to be celebrated. Zohran’s dad truly grasps the belief that the Global South can do no harm.
Zohran Mamdani’s father Mahmoud Mamdani argued that the Darfur Genocide was not a genocide and that the West was simply trying to manufacture consent for intervention in Sudan to take its oil reserves

This is incorrect. International law Twitter academics™ who believe and disseminate every claim from Gaza are heroically advancing social justice. Those demanding evidence or verification are whiny, boring, and frankly genocidal.
One thing that the war in Gaza has revealed is that people (and I’m sadly including academics in this) don’t understand the concept of epistemology, or don’t care about it. From claims (and denials) about war crimes, to who’s shooting who in aid centres, people are just saying.

This is not an undiagnosed case of white savior syndrome 😡. @Alonso_GD just knows better than @afalkhatib's lived experiences.
The more complex reality is that the brutalities Israel has subjected Palestinians to are always held at a different standard than the atrocities committed by Iran against its own population. Something @afalkhatib himself does, as shown by his recent @jubileemedia.

The suggestion that @Alonso_GD doesn't know anything about international law - and doesn't care to know anything - and is just a political partisan rabble rouser trying to incite the mob while posing as an academic must be totally rejected.
@just_whatever @Alonso_GD Michael, surely you don’t really expect basic intellectual rigour from someone who’s turned total disrespect for words into a traffic-generating art form?.
