In a place scarred by genocide, we gathered as another unfolded in Gaza. This people's tribunal is more than a legal inquiry; it is a moral intervention against the global complicity that enables it.
Refreshing Journalism Thank you for your clear articulation of the purposely altered paradigms in which we are unknowingly emersed. This article brought my head above water. People's Tribunals are contemporary archives of truth in which continued analysis and contrast of the past and present weave understanding of futures yet to come.
I am glad you laid out the intellectual background of this conference in all it's specifics.
Though I do not agree with everything postulated (it doesn't really matter what it is exactly and would take up too much space) because I do totally agree with the need to say something!!!
I also know you are a proponent of the Two-State-Solution, as indeed I am too, and of course I highly respect your judgement in any case or question related to your excellent expertise.
I just want to say that this abominable right-wing coalition and this criminal, murderous, utterly failed so-called-politician Netanyahu (who evades justice time and time again) have to be stopped immediately!
It is a genocide now, in every sense of the word, and everyone who is thoroughly convinced that human rights are inalienable should say something! Thank you, Ezgi!
Thanks for sharing your impressions of the Gaza tribunal. Another important people's tribunal that Prof. Falk was involved in is the World Tribunal on Iraq, whose final session took place in Istanbul in 2005. Over a period of two years, the tribunal gathered in about 20 cities, and created a historical record of the U.S. war and occupation in Iraq. I think WTI has a special place within the canon of people's tribunals as it both took its lifeline from, but in turn strengthened, the anti-war movement.
Thank you for this piece, written with utter clarity. Lest we not forget also, Israel is a huge military and diplomatic staging point for the Middle East and the West. Netanyahu is challenging this long-held position
Excellent piece again, Ezgi! I'm grateful that there are people who give voice to the indignation and impotence that's felt worldwide. Such an important tribunal!
