ICJ Ruling on Total Illegality of Palestinian Occupation, part one

July 26, 2024

Good morning. Remember that every day is a good day to learn to talk about the real story of Palestine.

LEARN. Listen to this episode of The Mondoweiss Podcast, episode 82, called, “ICJ says Israel’s occupation is illegal.”

NOTICE. What did you know about the International Court of Justice (ICJ) before today? Does the knowledge that the Israeli government is acting completely against international law - with the full support of the U.S. and other western countries - make you feel outraged, disgusted, or something else?

ACT. Do NOT believe it if someone says to you that the ICJ ruling is “non-binding.” It’s not true and the guest explains why not in within the first few minutes of the podcast episode. Practice saying, “That’s not true - can you tell me where you heard that incorrect information?”

And stay tuned - we plan to send out more context on this ruling and the ICJ as soon as we can.

SHARE. Forward this to at least three friends who will be curious to know the real meaning of the July 19, 2024, ICJ ruling on Israel’s illegal, deadly and cruel occupation of Palestine.

ASK. What would you like to learn more about? Please reply to this email (or, if you are reading this online, leave a comment below) to let us know.*

In solidarity for Palestinian liberation,

Kay Coughlin, on behalf of the Shades of Anger collective

*You can also continue the conversation with us in the Speaking Up Network, a private social media platform co-created by Animah Kosai, one of the leaders of Shades of Anger.

Shades of Anger was created by a global collective of women to raise awareness and inspire action to free Palestine. We chose the name of our collective to honor the poem, “Shades of Anger,” by Palestinian-Canadian poet Rafeef Ziadah. We also believe in liberation for Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, and all places where systems of oppression are causing immense suffering and crushing the life out humans. We are led by women of the Global Majority/BIPOC. Shades of Anger is for everyone who wants to act for liberation and you can learn more about it here.
