<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The BBC’s news verification service, Verify, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cn4wzyv21jvo" target="_blank">digitally reconstructed</a> a residential tower block in Mandalay earlier this week to show how it had collapsed in a huge earthquake on 28 March in Myanmar, a country in Southeast Asia largely <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/28/asia/central-myanmar-quake-intl-hnk/index.html" target="_blank">cut off</a> from the outside world. </p>
<p>The broadcaster painstakingly pieced together damage to other parts of the city using a combination of phone videos, satellite imagery and Nasa heat detection images. </p>
<p>Verify dedicated much time and effort to this task for a simple reason: to expose as patently false the claims made by the ruling military junta that only 2,000 people were killed by Myanmar’s 7.7-magnitude earthquake. </p>
<p>The West sees the country’s generals as an official enemy, and the BBC wanted to show that the junta’s account of events could not be trusted. Myanmar’s rulers have an interest in undercounting the dead to protect the regime’s image.</p>
<p>The BBC’s determined effort to strip away these lies contrasted strongly with its coverage - or rather, lack of it - of another important story this week. </p>

I think Keir Starmer’s out of his depth today with the ICC arrest warrants - the UK being a founding member of the ICC - so he has to defend the UK’s membership of the ICC while rejecting the arrest warrants… 1/2

The British government is helping commit genocide without even having as much as a single debate in Parliament about its direct military involvement — never mind a vote — and you think we live in a democracy?

11/ Peaceful Palestinian resistance—through diplomacy, protests, or boycotts—has been met with repression. Yet when Palestinians fight back, they’re denied even the most basic right: the right to defend themselves.

10/ Israel’s violence isn’t reactive. History didn’t begin on October 7, 2023. For 76+ years, Palestinians have faced ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and brutal violence at the hands of a settler-colonial state.

9/ Reminder: “Self-defense” does not justify collective punishment, targeting civilians, destroying hospitals, or murdering aid workers. These are war crimes, not defense.

8/ Yet Western politicians and media will never mention Palestine’s right to self-defense. Instead, they justify Israeli war crimes with “self-defense,” even when hospitals, schools, and civilians are the targets.

6/ So what does international law say about self-defense? It applies to Palestinians. Under the UN Charter, occupied people have the right to armed resistance to achieve self-determination and liberation. Yes, including Palestinians.

5/ Every Israeli airstrike, every missile, every soldier in Gaza is an illegal act. Israel’s legal obligation isn’t bombing Palestinians—it’s ending the occupation, dismantling settlements, and withdrawing.

4/ In 2004, the World Court affirmed that Israel’s occupation makes it ineligible to claim self-defense in Gaza. In 2024, it reiterated this: Israel’s occupation itself is illegal under international law.

3/ The UN Charter (binding on all member states) prohibits the use of force against other states unless in self-defense from external attacks. But Gaza isn’t “external” to Israel—it’s occupied territory.

2/ Let’s start with international law: Israel, as an occupying power, cannot claim self-defense to wage war on the territories it occupies—Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. Here’s why. 👇

The Palestinian resistance is currently articulating the clearest expression of anti-colonial dissent, of a national liberation movement that refuses to have its humanity cancelled, and its populations erased and sacrificed for the imperial core. mondoweiss.net/2024/11/pale...
Palestine against an eco-apartheid world
In coming years, eco-apartheid will become more prominent worldwide as colonial violence is used to maintain and safeguard Western interests and profits. We are seeing this future in Gaza today.
