🧵 ICJ judge Sebutinde says “the Lord is counting on me to stand with Israel.” This means she has pre-judged the case, cannot weigh evidence neutrally, and has breached her oath of impartiality. Who is responsible for her removal or recusal? Let’s start with Sebutinde herself 👇

10/ Real peace requires the exact opposite of 2803: - Immediate, unconditional end of occupation, as the ICJ ordered. - Palestinian authority chosen by Palestinians, not appointed by Trump. - Reparations paid by the occupier, not conditional donor charity. - Accountability and

9/Israeli withdrawal? Read the fine print: “IDF will withdraw… based on standards, milestones, and timeframes” agreed between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, & the US … except for a security perimeter that stays until Gaza is ‘properly secure’. Translation: Israel sets the terms,

8/Accountability? Zero. Compensation? Not from Israel. 2803 ignores ICJ-ordered reparations for 57 years of unlawful occupation & mass destruction, shielding Israel while turning Gaza’s reconstruction into a donor “trust fund” that pays only if Gaza stays disarmed & plays nice.

7/ Right to resist? Not anymore. 2803 forces Gaza’s total demilitarization while Israel keeps nukes, airspace, seas, & fresh arms deals from half the Council. Disarm the victim. Arm the aggressor. This directly violates the right to resist occupation.

6/ICJ's July 2024 ruling? Shredded. It ordered rapid, unconditional de-occupation of the OPT as one indivisible unit — territorial integrity being a direct corollary of self-determination. 2803 fragments Gaza into a donor-dependent enclave, siloed from West Bank/East Jerusalem,

Second, even the distant promise of statehood is conditional: a “credible pathway” only if the PA “reforms” & Gaza stays perfectly obedient. Only then will the US—not the UN—“establish a dialogue,” meaning Israel dictates the terms while Palestine loses even the right to refuse.

4–5/ Self-determination? killed in two connected moves: First, it installs an unelected technocratic committee under Arab League cover, funded by donors & steered by the US-led Board of Peace, giving Trump effective veto power over Gaza’s governance until 2027+. This alone

3/ The result? Although framed as “peace,” the resolution actually legalizes neo-colonial trusteeship, outsourced occupation, and a new Bantustan for Gaza.

ONCE AGAIN, THE UN CHOSE COLONIALISM OVER LIBERATION. Its new Resolution 2803 liquidates Palestinian rights, whitewashes Israel’s crimes, cements occupation, & openly mocks the ICJ’s order to end Israel’s unlawful presence unconditionally. Let’s dismantle this catastrophe. 🧵

Gaza is being permanently dispossessed. The ceasefire serves as cover for creeping genocide & accelerated systematic destruction: territorial seizure, displacement, demographic reduction, & prevention of return, all engineered to ensure that Palestinians never reclaim their land.

Israel is hell-bent on perpetuating genocide, yet the world nods in approval while Israel cites a delay in returning its own already-dead captives as a pretext to slaughter living Palestinians. This remains, even for me, a moral abyss beyond comprehension.

Israel offically calls this the "mosquito protocol"; they kidnap Palestinian civilians, use them as human shields then murder them when their use is over.

Israel’s arming of 4 clan militias goes far beyond the “defeat Hamas” narrative, that’s just the cover line. The real play is structural: 🔴DIVIDE Block any successor monopoly → Gaza becomes a patchwork of rival fiefdoms. Palestinian sovereignty atomized by design. 🔴CONTAIN

Israel is backing four separate anti-Hamas militias in Gaza, Sky News has confirmed. Militia leader Hossam Al Astal says they are part of an "official project" backed by Israel, the Palestinian Authority and unspecified Arab and Western states.

Israel's state-level dehumanization of Palestinians: “Who to shoot first? The child or the donkey?” The conversation lays bare the system, and the system is criminal.

Now back to the “non-binding” intellectual deception: • ICJ advisory opinions = supreme interpretation of binding law (law binds by definition, obviously). • States already bound by treaties & custom, with or without the opinion. • ICJ doesn't create duties, just spells them

Killings continue. Effective humanitarian aid, including food and other lifesaving essentials, is denied. Borders remain sealed. Vital reconstruction is barred. A ceasefire in headlines; a continuing genocide on the ground.

8/ Exiling Palestinian prisoners is the continuation of captivity by other means. A war crime, it tears families apart and uproots lives. No headlines tell their pain or the stolen moments of reunion. This is not security; it is the anatomy of apartheid.

7/ Since it controls all borders, Israel even prevents families of exiled Palestinian prisoners from traveling abroad to see their loved ones. Exile here is turned into a whole system of collective torture, to punish, to isolate, and to erase human connection itself.
