🔴✡ New York Times business editor Andrew Sorkin seeks an economic boycott on anti-genocide students.
He wrote in a column:
⬥ “Many business leaders have told me they are deeply concerned about incidents of harassment against Jewish students that have taken place at and around universities like Columbia”
⬥ “Companies could tell universities that they won’t hire their students”
⬥ “Wall Street, private equity and venture capital firms may uniquely have [a pressure point]: They could threaten to stop managing the endowments” of the universities.
⬥ “Examining D.E.I. policies [Diversity, equity, and inclusion] [...] What would happen if the Wall Street firms also sent such questionnaires to the universities before deciding to work with them as clients?”
⬥ “The most common course of action so far has been to pull back on individual donations.”

🔴 Israel erases Gaza's religious and cultural heritage
The Pasha's Palace (13th century), also known as Ridwan Castle and Napoleon's Fort, has been completely destroyed.
206 heritage sites have been damaged or destroyed since the start of the Israeli assault.
Have been levelled:
⬥ the ancient harbour of Anthedon (Mycenaean era)
⬥ the archaeological site of the Byzantine Church of Jabalia (built in 444)
⬥ the Great Omari Mosque (7th century)
⬥ the Sayed al-Hashim Mosque (12th century)
⬥ the Library of the Great Omari Mosque (opened in 1277)
⬥ the Samaritan Bathhouse (restored in 1320 by the Mamluk ruler)
⬥ the Rafah Museum (2022)
⬥ the Qarara Museum (2016), whose collection consisted of about 3,000 artefacts dating back to the Canaanites in the Bronze Age.
📝 The deliberate destruction of Gaza's cultural artifacts is an ethnocide or cultural genocide. They should have been protected under Article 1 of the 1954 Hague Convention, that Israel has signed along with Palestine.

📑 Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity.
The checkpoints are designed to allow some women and children to leave Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli offensive, but unarmed, civilian Palestinian men will likely be separated from their families and remain trapped in Rafah during an expected Israeli assault.

📑 The International Criminal Court is being warned by members of Congress in both parties that arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials will be met with U.S. retaliation — and legislation to that effect is already in the works, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu has gone so far as to urge President Biden to intervene to help prevent the warrants, Axios' Barak Ravid reported.
The White House declined to comment on Netanyahu's call with Biden but said "the ICC has no jurisdiction in this situation and we do not support its investigation."
Driving the news: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) issued a statement on Monday calling the reported warrants "disgraceful" and "lawless."

🗣️ Quoting a settler from Metulla:
🗣️ Quoting a settler from Avivim
I saw my house burning before my eyes due to Hezbullah's missiles. The security forces prevented me from approaching and extinguishing the fire due to the seriousness of the situation. Apparently Hezbullah saw Israeli army soldiers next to the house and fired the missiles.
🗣️ Quoting a settler from Metulla:
The Metulla settlement has not been evacuated since its founding in this way. Even in the 2006 war there were a number of settlers still inside it. This time we were evacuated in a state of panic because they were afraid of infiltration operations, and today there are missiles. Anti-armor precision missiles targeting us.

🌷 Update on yesterday restaurant tragedy in Beirut
Sources of the Beirut Fire Brigade told Al-Akhbar that the initial investigations indicated that the incident occurred while workers were welding gas pipes, which led to the outbreak of the fire.
Workers who were present in the shop escaped towards an inner room instead of outside. When the fire spread, they were trapped inside, and civil defense teams were unable to save them, so most of them died of suffocation.
