Before people start getting mad at the ICJ for not ‘doing enough,’ from the day South Africa announced the case a) we’ve known that these proceedings will take time to have tangible outcomes (that Palestinians do not have) b) the ICJ does not have meaningful immediate power over Israel’s current activities, and c) Israeli officials have repeatedly affirmed that they would not comply with any orders for ceasefire if such orders had been called by entities with meaningful immediate power over their current activity.
However, I think the preliminary ruling in Gaza’s favor is still important. It’s acknowledgement. It’s bearing witness to Israel’s actions and saying ‘we are looking. we see you. this is wrong and should not happen.’ And no, that’s not enough to save lives today, it’s not a call for reparations and an end to the apartheid, but it is an important political precedent to set. I really feel that the tables are turning and things are changing; maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but we are approaching the precipice of a new paradigm. Take heart and have hope - Palestine will be free, and we will see justice and peace in our days.

From Al Jazeera, explaining the ICJ verdict in the South Africa/Israel case.
This is nowhere near enough (no ceasefire and Israel has not been ordered to stop its military operations in Gaza) but it’s a step in the right direction. We need to use this ruling to pressure Israel’s allies to stop funding and supporting the genocide.

from Let's Talk Palestine on instagram:
🚨ICJ refused to order a ceasefire or suspension of Israeli attacks.
ICJ only ordered the following:
1️⃣ By 15-2 judge votes: Israel shall take all measures within its power to prevent genocidal acts against Palestinians. 2️⃣ 15-2 votes: Israel will ensure that its army doesn’t commit any genocidal acts. 3️⃣ 16-1 votes: Israel will prevent and punish public incitement to commit genocide against Palestinians. 4️⃣ 16-1: Israel will ensure the provision of urgent services and humanitarian aid to Gaza. 5️⃣ 15-2: Israel will ensure the preservation of evidence related to allegations of genocide. 6️⃣ 15-2: Israel will submit a report to the court in 1 month showing its compliance with these orders.

While I totally applaud South Africa on taking the israeli occupation to the courts, I think ppl should also keep in mind that the SA government has also been complete shit for places like Sudan. They may had condemned the Israeli Occupation but, in a show of blatant hypocrisy, they've also personally welcomed people greatly responsible for the genocide in Sudan and their president has "condemned" that genocide about as much as Joe Biden has the one in Palestine.
So yeah, people are going to be rightfully pissed. That doesn't mean they don't believe in a free Palestine; it just means they want to be free too and the hypocrisy is hurtful to say the least.

I know you have all probably seen the esims for gaza posts circulating. Some of you have probably looked at them and thought maybe you should help out, but have weighed up the daunting process of signing up for something you're unfamiliar with vs. the gut-wrenching scale of the things people are going through on the ground right now, and you've put it off or questioned whether it will make enough of a difference vs. some other future kind of activism you could put that $6+ towards. I'm not calling you out or scolding you, it is natural to feel conflicted and ambivalent about the multiple calls for aid that you are seeing on social media.
but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.
telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.
many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.
please, please visit gazaesims.com and spend 5 minutes and $6 to change the way this plays out for everyone.

So, Freunde der Sonne, mal kurz Tacheles.
Dass AfD Nazis sind ist ja nun indiskutabel und nicht hinterfragbar, dass sie sich mit reichen Leuten zusammentun yadda yadda, alles keine Überraschung. Überraschend ist an der Correctiv-Geschichte im Grunde nur, dass sie sich bei ihren Vertreibungsplänen, Plänen zur Wahlmanipulation und Sturz der Demokratie generell haben erwischen lassen.
Nichtsdestoweniger. "Nix Neues" und "Keine Überraschung" darf nicht davon abhalten, JETZT sein/ihre*n Bundestagsabgeordnete*n zu kontaktieren und ein AfD-Verbot zu fordern.
Übrigens kann man seine*n Bundestagsabgeordnete*n ganz einfach über die Bundestagsseite finden (nach Wahlkreis suchen). Dort sind auch Kontaktmöglichkeiten  direkt vorhanden:
https://www.bundestag.de/abgeordnete
Wer einen Vorlagentext braucht, darf diesen hier verwenden bzw. natürlich für die eigene Person passend abändern (courtesy of @[email protected] auf Mastodon). Hab ich auch gemacht, hat alles in allem 5min gebraucht.
TUT WAS! JETZT!
