Teaching and writing on international law as a rhetorical and material form from out of a background in the humanities, currently in UK higher education. Global governance, humanitarianism, technicity as a mindset.

One out of every 200 people in Gaza have been killed by the Israeli army — and the bombing still hasn’t stopped.
Let that sink in for a moment, then remember how Israeli authorities are trying to make Western publics believe they aren’t targeting civilians. This is a massacre.

The embedded ambiguities of international humanitarian law are being actively exploited by the IDF. The law is part of the problem. They will continue to insist on military necessity over civilian protection, hospital after hospital.

Hoping for a tipping point, where people aren’t focused on political alignment but instead about who will suffer most, and how to try to prevent that as best they can. How can civilians be asked to move south to a border that remains closed while Israel strikes in the south
