Israel shat on every page of the Geneva Convention. No protected zones, no safe passage for civilians, blocking of aid, bombing of hospitals, killing of humanitarian workers, looting, mass killings, etc. etc.
The Geneva Convention is worthless, there is no functional international law system.

Logged onto twitter and saw that a young journalist I've been following for the last year and a half has been killed, via his final message posted on his behalf by his community. Was a primary source of news for so many. I recall many times over the last months feeling relief that he was still alive

This is an attempt to criminalize free speech and suppress dissent. If we don’t take a strong stand against this, it’s the end of our democracy, and not just higher education. Universities are the trial balloon, but it doesn’t end here. Next, it will be employers, cities and towns, and individuals.
