RT by @MarietjeSchaake: A mistake? No it wasn’t, he repeatedly said he’d attack Rafah and he did.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: For months, there were two big fears about Israel starting an offensive in Rafah: that it would lead to horrific attacks on displaced civilians and a crisis in Israeli-Egyptian relations. Both of those things have happened in the past 24 hours. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c51108le52xo

Independent investigations only, the whole IDF investigates IDF and concludes there was some Hamas target that justified whatever action can not be taken seriously

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: New piece from Tasha McCauley and me, on the connection between why the OpenAI board decided to fire Sam and recent debates about whether the AI industry needs outside oversight.

(Believe it or not, we had basically finished writing this before the last couple weeks of news)

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Macron's efforts to speak German to German audiences, involving long hours with private teachers and so on, are genuinely impressive.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: The scale of the violence and disruption in Sudan boggles the mind.
And, yes - whataboutism aside - it does not get anywhere near enough attention.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Bombing a tent camp full of displaced people is a clear-cut, full-on war crime. Even if Hamas troops were present, that does not absolve the IDF of the obligation to protect civilians. It does not turn a tent camp into a free fire zone.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Today I read an article by an American journalist about Israel’s genocide in Gaza that claimed killing children could be legal, and now I’ve seen a picture of a Palestinian baby in Rafah without a head.

We’ve built a world of horror. Of unimaginable horror.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Is Israel committing humanitarian crimes in Gaza? The Israeli gov’t strenuously denies it.

Aryeh Neier, a giant in the world of human rights who escaped Nazi Germany and later cofounder Human Rights Watch, says the answer is yes.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: The @EUombudsman has launched a much-needed investigation into the departure of a senior EU antitrust official to a US big law firm. Some striking language in the letter on the "corrosive effect" of the revolving door on public trust &amp; European interests.

France 35%

There are few places more vulnerable to isolationism and hard borders than this
