UN rapporteur: Israeli crimes in Gaza could keep ICC ‘busy for the next five decades’

The UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory has said that “accountability is more needed than ever” over Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

“The colossal amount of evidence concerning [international] crimes committed by Israel in Gaza just over the past 6 months could keep the [ICC] busy for the next five decades, especially at the current proceedings pace,” Francesca Albanese said in a post on X.

She was responding to footage of four Palestinian men being killed by an Israeli air strike in Gaza.



The ICC is still (dragging their feet) working on war crimes committed in Gaza in 2014.

Why have people taken to video games to express solidarity with Palestine?

Some 3.2 billion people, or nearly half of the world’s population, play video games on a regular basis.

Online multiplayer games are particularly popular, allowing users to interact virtually. And one of the ways players have been interacting is through protests – from Black Lives Matter to Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement – and now, Palestine.

While hundreds of thousands of people have turned out in solidarity with Palestine in cities around the world in recent months, online protests through games like Roblox are an important outlet for those who are unable to join them in the real world.
