Can the ICJ Survive Israel's Genocide on Gaza? | Dr Noura Erakat

Video Description

Palestinian-American legal scholar and attorney Dr Noura Erakat grants this is indeed a horrifying moment of despair for Palestinians everywhere but says giving up is not an option: “Yes nothing has worked to stop this genocide and to liberate Palestinians, but does the opposite of that mean that we give up? Or does the opposite of that mean that we act with greater strategic acumen and foresight and try to think to ourselves, how do we do this differently? How do we do this better?” Noura argues that the legitimacy of institutions such as the ICJ rest upon their responses to Israel’s genocide on Gaza, “we already know this is a genocide, so it’s a way in which Palestine has inverted the lens. It doesn't matter what you say about Palestine at this point, it matters what Palestine says about your legitimacy and your institution.” Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers. __________________________ Support Palestinian led independent media amplifying Palestinian voices against attempted erasure, from just £1 per month: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/support __________________________ Follow us: Twitter: https://twitter.com/PDeepdive Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pdeepdivegram/ Newsletter https://palestinedeepdive.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=2931c4b53e89e695a30817efb&id=ea848d5a28 __________________________ 00:00 Introduction 1:20 The masks are off: Western responses to Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel 5:10 What good has international law and UN delivered in the last year for Palestinians? 8:50 When will this genocide end, what can we Palestinians do now? 10:30 Arab states have been supplying Israel with oil throughout the genocide 12:00 Surrender is not an option 13:30 How do use the law more strategically? 14:30 We are fighting empire 15:30 This a test for everyone 16:55 This is a test for the ICJ 18:00 What does Palestine say about YOU? 19:30 What can we be doing now? 21:55 Imagine what it’s like when we win?
