If the 🇪🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧🇩🇪 ignore the ICJ ruling, it will send a giant f**k you to the international liberal order. It will completely justify the perception from the Global South, Russia, China and elsewhere, that Western Liberalism is a menu that the powerful can pick and choose from.

Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh, presenting the South African case against Israel in the Hague, is a fucking hero...
Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh was inspired to become a lawyer after learning about Majella O’Hare, a 12 y/o child from Armagh who was shot in the back & killed by a British soldier in 1976 She went crying to her mother and her mother said, ‘Do something about it’ Now look where she is

Francesca Albanese completely destroying Kirsty Wark & the media’s ridiculous narrative that to point out Israeli war crimes means you’re ‘advocating for the Palestinians’. We really need to see more of this!

Keir Starmer says two-child benefit cap row is example of what taking ‘tough choices’ involves. No, kicking those already down is a sign of weakness. Want to be tough - clean up the City of London. End corporate money in politics. End profiteering. theguardian.com/politics/liv…

I love how intertwined my favorite 20th century theorists are: James was friends with Jung and Bergson. James and Bergson influenced Whitehead. Bergson admired Whitehead and Jung. All four influenced Deleuze, Hillman, Stengers (Jung indirectly via Deleuze). Hillman read Deleuze.
