If you haven't already seen the summary of today's submission by South Africa to the International Court of Justice I urge you to do so, however uncomfortable it may make you feel. It has broken me. 'Never again' should have meant never again. We are witnessing genocide.

Latest Gaza numbers from Swiss-based Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, that reveal the unbelievable scale of the atrocity:
- 8,176 children killed and 4,112 women: 61% of those killed
- 92% of those killed are civilians (18,460 people out of 20,031)
- 1,730,000 people displaced: more than 80% of the Gaza population
And so on...
In just 49 days. Which means:
- 167 children killed a day on average, or 7 every hour, or 1 every 8 minutes.
- 377 civilians killed a day on average, or almost 16 every hour.
I don't think this has many parallels in post WW2 history, probably no parallel.
For reference the war in Ukraine recorded 9,614 civilian deaths so far, in 20 months, according to OHCHR. So given this is a population 22 lower than Ukraine, and that we're talking only 49 days (as opposed to 20 months), this war on Gaza is a crazy 520 times deadlier to civilians than the war in Ukraine ๐

Say their names: Rebih Mehmari and Farah Omar. Even tho itโs happening every few hours, I am now I am trying to post about each journalist killed by US-backed Israel. This morning itโs two Lebanese TV journalists targeted in south Lebanon. They join 60+ martyred journalists.

In memory of Anna Campbell, who was killed five years ago today by the Turkish state, fighting for a better world.
Her mortal remains still lie on the battlefield. Rest in power โ

If half the staff are being sacked what does it say about the company from here?
Those who remain should walkout in support of those who were fired and see where that leaves Musk.
