This is a very good video from Bernie Sanders about why it is really important to vote for Kamala Harris next week, even despite disagreements on Gaza:
TL:DW - Trump is far worse on Gaza, Trump is Netanyahu's preferred candidate. And there are other issues such as climate change where Trump is threatening the entire planet. Rich will get richer, poor get poorer and world will burn.

Microsoft fired employee Hossam Nasr for organising a vigil for commemorating the lives of Palestinians killed by #Israel in #Gaza. Even expressing sadness over a genocide is against Microsoft’s rules.

South Africa files 750 boxes of evidence of #genocide in #Gaza: "which shows how the government of Israel has violated the Genocide Convention by promoting the destruction of Palestinians living in Gaza, physically killing them with an assortment of destructive weapons, depriving them access to humanitarian assistance, causing conditions of life which are aimed at their physical destruction..." commondreams.org/news/south-af…

Middle East crisis live: #Israel passes law banning UN refugee agency in #Gaza from operating inside Israel
“The legislation to ban Unrwa from operating inside Israel, passed by the Knesset just minutes ago, deals a huge blow to the UN agency, which has provided essential aid and assistance across Palestinian territories and to Palestinian refugees elsewhere for more than seven decades.” theguardian.com/world/live/202…
While South African legal researchers were in an undisclosed location last week, racing against time to finalise hundreds of pages of evidence proving Israel’s intent to commit genocide in Gaza, in Israel, leaders gathering near the Gaza border were calling for the besieged and bombarded Strip to be emptied of Palestinians.
Monday (October 28) is the deadline for South Africa to submit a detailed memorial against Israel to the ICJ.
Israel could kill everyone left in Northern Gaza if its assault on the enclave continues, a United Nations relief official warned on Saturday.
U.N. Acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Joyce Msuya also called for an end to the Israeli attack.
“What Israeli forces are doing in besieged North Gaza cannot be allowed to continue,” Msuya said.
The #unitedkingdom military won’t have to be the commandants of Israel’s new concentration camps for #Gaza because private #UK military contractors — who will be accountable to no one but their shareholders — will run the private prisons.

❞ Last October, my Vox colleague Sigal Samuel and I interviewed scholars about how to think through those allegations of genocide. At that time, some were willing to definitively call what was happening in Gaza a genocide. But most were hesitant, citing the high threshold required to establish genocide under international law. Several said “crimes against humanity” or “war crimes,” which hold equal weight under international law, had likely been committed, but withheld judgment on genocide. ... In light of those developments, I went back to the scholars we cited and spoke to last fall to see if their thinking about allegations of genocide against Israel had changed over the last year. Of the five who responded, most of them were now more confident the legal requirements for genocide had been met. If an official determination of genocide by the ICJ follows, that could have critical legal and political consequences. ❝

"It doesn’t matter if Israel says it is doing this or not, if it calls it by a different name or not.
