Achille Mbembe said international law is necropolitics codified—an apartheid system where the power to dictate who lives and who dies is institutionalized through legal and political structures of the UN and the Security Council veto to permit the five colonial powers to shield the axis of genocide since 1948. We need the reforms advocated by Nandeli Pandor and the Council of Elders.

This is unbearable reading. What can we do? I am despairing!

The conditions faced by Palestinians are atrocious. The blame rests with the murdering, maiming Zionist Israel. Accountability for the bombing of Gaza, the destruction of civilized infrastructure like sewage, water and power rests on the heads of the Zionists. The Zionists continue to show their hate by restricting food, aid and the on-going bombing coupled with the stealing of land owned in the international court by Palestinians.

The case for the civilized world to impose divestment, sanctions and boycotts is strengthened daily. The Enlightenment will see this happen. No one has any justification for stealing what isn't theirs.
