"The first genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time in the desperate, so far vain hope that the world might do something." Blinne Ni Ghralaigh at the ICJ in the Hague

Going to bed thinking about the time the ABC sent 27 people to England cover the death of the Queen and yet barely bothered to report on South Africa’s case at the ICJ

Palestinian genocide scholar Maha Abdallah مها عبدالله calls South Africa’s genocide case against Israel “a historic moment for the Palestinian people in their pursuit for justice and accountability.” “Whether in Palestine or in diaspora or in exile, we have been waiting for this moment.”

the ABC is leading with an Israel says Khamas story instead of reporting on the ICJ proceedings in case you were wandering how colonial institutions would respond to South Africa speaking truth to power.

Of course the perpetrators of genocide are also deeply racist and anti black

Is this ‘impartial’ journalism? On the first night of the South Africa v Israel ICJ hearing, these are the top stories reported on by ABC News; a national broadcaster principally funded by the Aust Govt., and Governor-General appointed Board on the recommendation of the Govt.

A great summary of the Thursday 11/01/2024 ICJ hearing (South Africa)

A Broome man restrained Indigenous children with cable wire. This is the colonial and imperial violence Indigenous people face - here and everywhere. A world that treats children like this is a world that needs to be dismantled, resisted, imagined otherwise…

Orgs, councils, universities still referring to it as ‘harmony day’ need to recognise just how problematic it is and how it does no work to dealing with racism.

On this International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, rebranded as ‘Harmony Day’, let us be reminded that harmony is a lie… let us be reminded that despite this year’s theme being ‘everyone belongs’, racist systems continue to exclude and discriminate…
