18 posts held, back to 15 February 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 18 posts for this entry, the most recent from 16 February 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 13 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.
BREAKING: Tomorrow, #Israel's Ministerial Committee for Legislation will endorse a draft bill that would (I) impose an 80% tax on donations from third States to Israeli NGOs, including humanitarian and human rights groups, and (II) prohibt these NGOs from petitioning the High Court of Justice, Israel's constitutional and administrative court, which among other things, exercises judicial oversight over government acti…
I can only hope that European Parliament President @EP_President Metsola, having just concluded a visit to Israel and Palestine, @EUinIsrael @EUpalestinians, will use her influence to push back on the draft bill targeting @eu_echo @ECHO_MiddleEas @EU_Commission and @EUCouncil member States humanitarian relief to the Palestinian people.
In past years, I would have said that even if this bill passes into law, it is unlikely to withstand judicial review by the Israeli High Court of Justice (for reasons of administrative law). But, having observed the Court, which was never impartial with respect to the rights of Palestinians (indeed, how can the court of an occupant treat the occupied people even- handedly), become less independent from the prejudice …
In 1949, the Director General of #Israel's Foreign Ministry, Walter Eytan, suggested Israel annex the #Gaza Strip - part of the Arab State of Palestine - and in exchange would allow the 200K #Palestine refugees it deported to narrow strip to repatriate. In 2025, Israel suggests annexing the Gaza Strip, deporting 2M refugees and their descendants further afield. As was the law then, is the law now. Gaza is an integra…
The US Government and the @GOP have gone, in the course of 160 years, from codifying humanitarian law to sanctioning @IntlCrimCourt prosecutor @KarimKhanQC for pursuing international criminal justice for breaches of norms contained in the Lieber Code. Shameful.
In February 2025 Republican President @realDonaldTrump overturned an order of Republican President Lincoln from 1863, which created the modern law of armed conflict. Let's see how:
In 1863, President Lincoln, against the backdrop of the American Civil War, promulgated General Orders No. 100: Instructions for the Government of the Armies of the United States in the Field. The order is better known as the 'Lieber Code,' after its author, Prof. Franz Lieber.
Novel in balancing humanity against military exigency, Lieber created the prohibition on forced displacement: "Private citizens are no longer [...] carried off to distant parts." Trump, turning his back on Lincoln and Lieber, espouses mass deportation of #Gaza Palestinians.

EXCLUSIVE: Within the extensive dossier of files presented to the International Court of Justice @CIJ_ICJ in the pending advisory proceeding oh the presence and activities of UN agencies and humanitarian organizations in occupied Palestinian territory, is one document that tells the story of Israel's prolonged, acquisitive and unlawful occupation. A thread:
In a lecture he gave 11 years ago, now Prof. Emeritus Blum, regretted the decolonization process that introduced African and Asian nations to the UN General Assembly, and in his words "increased its numbers and lowered its quality." It is appropriate that the UNGA referred to the @CIJ_ICJ in December 2022 a question on the legality of Israel's presence in Palestine, which had the Court - in the 2024 Advisory Opinion …
Is this the map @realDonaldTrump is showing @KingAbdullahII as he asks him to cede Jordan's sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence to Israel's colonial pursuits?
Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @EpshtainItay. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
@EpshtainItay named 3 handles that resolve to nothing today. That is a fact about the reference, not necessarily a fact about the handle’s history — see the two groups below.
Most of these may never have existed as a live channel at all.A handle a channel names can be a typo, an aspirational name nobody registered, or a channel that was already gone before this one ever mentioned it. Unless a row below is marked evidenced, all we know is that it references a handle that is not a live channel today — not that anything “died”. How this is measured.
References a handle that is not a live channel — we have no record it ever was one.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 13 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
