@aral I just posted on this. I encourage people to download the UN Special Rapporteur's report. Read it if you have the time, or at least skim through it so you understand the contents. The news coverage is potentially useful to a casual audience but sharing the report is likely a better strategy.
@evan like others, I reject the framing as obligation. I hope that they will choose the strategic path, which is threatening to withhold their support for leverage, and ultimately voting to minimize the harm that comes to Palestinians, Palestinian Americans, Muslims in the US, immigrants in the US (including those whose citizenship may be nullified), and others.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed that one of its staff was killed in Gaza on Tuesday alongside her six-month-old baby.
Dima Abdullatif Mohammed Alhaj, 29, was a critical part of the WHO’s trauma and emergency team and had been part of the organisation since 2019, it said. She studied at the University of Glasgow as part of the Erasmus exchange programme in 2018-19, it said.

Alhaj was killed when her parents’ house in southern Gaza, where she had evacuated from Gaza City, was bombed, the WHO said in a statement. More than 50 family and community members sheltering in the same house also were reportedly killed.
@atatassault@Urluck_UR@mos_8502 I disagree. He demonstrates intelligence and aptitude about a variety of subjects. The only thing he's not good at is exploiting people for profit. For that, the Ferengi see him as an "idiot".
