Today's hearing is beginning. Namibia is starting off

Namibian representative has a kufiya draped over her shoulder

Mentioned Germany committing the first genocide of the 20th century in Namibia, and is now talking about the similarities between Namibia and Palestine

Pointing out that an ICJ ruling helped Namibia's liberation. Other nations had also mentioned this in their presentations

Addressing the Palestinians directly with a message of hope, now passing it over to their second speaker

Namibia is focusing heavily on apartheid

Namibia is asking the court to set a strict time limit for the unconditional end of the Israeli occupation. Also acknowledging Israel's history of defying the UN and the ICJ

Norway is next. I don't know their stance

Talking about severe use of force in Gaza, illegal settlements, displacement and destruction of homes and so on

Talking about Hamas violating international law and needing to be held accountable, but that this does not justify measures taken against the civilian population

Discussing the possibility of this being a de facto annexation as it's been allowed to continue indefinitely

Norway's representative has been mentioning several previous ICJ rulings that are comparable to the current hearing

Quoted Netanyahu to prove that Israel's goal is annexation

second speaker for Noway is up and talking about Norway's full support for a two state solution

Discussing at length the process of Israel joining the UN and their responsibilities as a member state

Mentioning that the Israeli occupation has already been defined as illegal, quoting a Security Council resolution from 1980

Oman's delegation is up next

Accusing the international community of failing Palestinians in achieving their dream of having a free state, and mentioning the severity of the genocide happening in Gaza

Calling for an immediate and unconditional end to all actions, policies, and laws that prevent the Palestinian's right to self-determination

"There is no legal justification for continuing the occupation and denying the right of self-determination"

10 minute break, Pakistan will be first after the court resumes

Pakistan is now presenting

Discussing Pakistan's history of supporting Palestine, and stating that these hearings offer hope to the Palestinian people

Stating bluntly that this is not, if it ever was, a military occupation. It is annexation

Talking about how France previously withdrew over 1 million settlers from Algeria, and that this outnumbers the number of Israeli settlers in the OPT

Talking about the unique status of Jerusalem and how it is holy to all 3 Abrahamic religions, but Christians and Muslims have not had full religious freedom in the city

Discussing support and the necessity for the two state solution

Pakistan just called out the US for voting in favour of ending South Africa's occupation of Namibia in the past, but not doing so for Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories

Drawing parallels between the Namibia case and Palestine

Just stated that if the ICJ refrains from issuing a ruling they will be signaling to other powers that they too could possibly get away with illegal occupation

Indonesian representative is up now. She is wearing a kufiya

Quoting Natanyahu when he stated that no one, not even the Hague, could stop Israel

Did air quotes while mentioning the "rule-based international order"

Stating that the argument that an ICJ ruling would undermine the peace process is null because "there is no peace process to undermine"

"Negotiation with someone holding a gun to your head is not a negotiation"

"Never again means never again"

Indonesia is finished, and I hope I can find a recording of that presentation later.

Qatar is presenting now

"For 75 years the lives of the Palestinian people has been treated as an exception to the rules of humanitarian law"

"Recent events did not occur in a vacuum"

"the so-called peace process is dead"

Talking about how the war in Gaza is being used as a cover for an increase in illegal settlement activity

"Before October 7th Gaza had already been described by the UN secretary general as 'hell on earth' today it is indescribable"

Just spoke about Israel murdering journalists and members of human rights organizations. I don't think I've heard any other delegation mention that

Qatar has finished their presentation by telling the ICJ that the whole world is looking at them, and they hope they take this historic opportunity to end the injustices against the Palestinian people.

Throughout Qatar's presentation the representative followed several comments about Israeli crimes, and other points, by mentioning that more information is included in the folders that Qatar provided the court. I don't know how large the folders are, but it sounds like at the very least Qatar provided more information for every breach of international law they observed, and they also included arguments from other states where the same conclusions were drawn. They came very prepared.

That's the morning hearing finished, afternoon hearing is in 2 hours with presentations from the UK, Slovenia, Sudan, Switzerland, Syria, and Tunisia

A note: I know annoying Desis are going to see this and go "Oh but Kashmir is Pakistan's because-" and "Kashmir is an integral part of India because-". I must make my stance clear: Kashmir belongs to the Kashmiris, the natives, no matter what religion they belong to. Neither Pakistan nor India get to decide the matter of Kashmiri sovereignty. The reasons given by both parties as to why Kashmir should be a part of either nation are hogwash. The United Nations itself recognises Kashmir as a disputed region, so I will not entertain bullshit. I highly encourage fellow Indians especially to take the time to go through and properly understand the violence the government enacts on Kashmiris. I've also included links to learn more about Kashmiri culture because really, what do the rest of us know about it? Culturally and linguistically Kashmir differs so much from the rest of India and Pakistan (also the amount of fetishization of Kashmiri women...yikes). This is not just a bilateral issue between these two nations over land, this actually affects the people of Kashmir. And if you're still here, thank you for reading

This is a direct action you can take to say fuck you to the government directed genocidal efforts, bookmark the tab, add a calendar notification daily, do what you want. Or if your prefer: Donate Directly to UNRWA

Mirna El Helbawi just put out an update — right now the Gaza Esims email only has 500 esims left when they send out more than 3,000 esims daily. If you have not yet sent an E-sim, now is the time to do so.

To send an e-sim, refer to the information at https://gazaesims.com/

(February 15, 2024)

my Nomad esim that I sent them a while ago is being used!!! please do this, y’all, if you have only $15-20 to spare it is literally life-changing.

Because my last post about this didn't get much traction, I'll say it in a text post.

There is an upcoming global strike for Palestine. February 18th to the 25th. Talk about Palestine and other injustices, call your representatives and email them, boycott companies and limit spending during the week. Get your grocery shopping in now and only buy essentials during the week, please. Limit interaction on posts other than injustices around the world. If you can, skip work or school, though this is a privilege not everyone has.

Edit: It is 18th-25th not 18th-24th!! If you've already reblogged this, please reblog this version instead, edits don't show on past reblogs

here's James Baldwin summing up Palestine in 1979

In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.
