i note that there hasn’t been a single word in recent days about the killing of palestinian children by israeli forces…

During the 2014 war, which began after Hamas kidnapped and killed three Israelis, Netanyahu ignored calls from right-wing MPs to launch a ground invasion of Gaza. Harder to resist such demands this time: the trigger is much, much bigger, and his coalition is entirely right-wing

We’re being manipulated to think migrants are a threat in order to justify coming out of the ECHR - but this would leave us ALL vulnerable and without protection. And while the targeting and scapegoating STARTS with the most vulnerable it doesn’t end there!!! #bbcqt

🗣️‘ We need to be extremely vigilant , we’re being manipulated to think migrants are a threat.
Coming out of the ECHR. It’s starts with the most vulnerable. Then they would erode ALL our rights, unless you are part of the ruling class” 👏🏼

"The most immediate threat is not the “AI apocalypse” – where machines take over the world – but humans leveraging AI to establish new patterns of violence and domination over each other." Insightful discussion by @rosen_br on @just_security justsecurity.org/89033/ai-an…

The person behind this semi-viral Great Replacement Theory tweet recently moved to Texas for a job at Pale Horse Strategies, a consulting firm that works with far-right groups/candidates funded by West Texas oil tycoons Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks.

Terrorist methodology but not motive - today’s findings on Liverpool Women’s Hospital attack (2021) illustrate complexity of terrorism as legal concept. Rented separate flat specifically to build a bomb…/1

Totally beyond parody, CodePink founder now referring to an explicitly anti-immigrant, pro-Putin right wing populist party as “a win for a left-leaning party in Europe”.
Just the most deranged batshit crankery on Earth.

I have just submitted my independent review of the UK's autonomous international CT sanctions to the Foreign Secretary, and look forward to its publication in due course.

Relatives for Justice welcome the decision by the Law Society to postpone their conference platforming the ICRIR and legacy bill of shame, which has now become law.
Victims have spoken with one voice. That unity of purpose has been heard loud and clear. Families have spoken truth to power.
We thank those lawyers and academics who took a moral position and decided not to attend and participate in the planned conference.
There should be no quarter given to the British government and those appointed to roll out this appalling amnesty legislation through the ICRIR.
No amount of spin or talking will change the fact that this new law will systematically deny basic investigations, legal redress, truth, justice and accountability to victims.
The only place for discussing this law is in the courts, especially the European Court.
Families will never give up on their legal rights to justice.

I take the point, but Yoo was neither gullible nor flagrantly ignorant. He knew exactly what the law was when he wrote his infamous and terrible memo. His job was to provide cover for the Bush administration's #torture regime, and he did what was necessary to get the job done.

A panel finds #SERE-ing #torture made a 9/11 defendant psychotic. A #Guantanamo judge will rule whether he can stand trial - in ongoing pre trial hearings ny1.com/nyc/manhattan/ap-top…

Good morning from the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, OK, where Anthony Sanchez is scheduled be executed at 10am. I will be one of the media witnesses.

British journalist held by counter-terror police at airport for 5 hours without being arrested. He was met by police as he left plane and taken for questioning, where he was asked “do you consider your reporting objective” and his opinions of British state.theguardian.com/media/2023/s…

Genuinely the worst possible “advocate” for human rights in Iran
Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, held up a photo of #MahsaAmini during Ebrahim Raisi's speech at the #UNGA. More of this, please! 🇮🇱👏🏼

A typically unerringly sensible thread.
“We fall into error if we think that the criminal process is the only arbiter of whether someone has done something wrong.”
