Interview

with Ahmed Abofoul, legal researcher & advocate, on enforcing the ICJ’s ruling

Israel is lying, while its allies parrot whatever it says.

"Without a direct enforcement mechanism, attempts to rein in Israeli attacks are likely to continue to fail.

"Will complicit western states continue business as usual, or will we see sanctions on Israel?”

New Israeli attack on another tent camp near Rafah just days after the attack that caused an inferno

On Tuesday, Israeli forces struck a group of tents at the al-Mawasi area west of Rafah, killing at least 21 people & injuring dozens.

The area had been designated a "humanitarian zone" by Israeli forces, who had encouraged Palestinians in Rafah to seek shelter in the area.

Rashida Tlaib delivered her harshest rebuke yet of the US administration during a speech at a Detroit pro-Palestine conference.

“Attacking the authority of the International Criminal Court & interfering in legal processes is nothing more than an attempt to prevent the genocidal maniac Netanyahu & his senior Israeli officials for being held accountable for crimes against humanity.

“You are an enabler, President Biden."

Interview

with Mohamad Elmasry on Spain, Norway & Ireland's recognition of Palestine

They are adopting US talking points, eg, normalization with Saudi Arabia.

They talk of a revitalized Palestinian Authority, which is deeply unpopular with Palestinians, while at the same time talking about Palestinian self determination - a contradiction in terms.

They talk about a two-state solution, which Israel has intentionally rendered an impossibility.

Analysis

"The ICC was built for Africa & for thugs like Putin... not for western & west-backed leaders"
~ senior US politician

This is the first time the ICC has sought to prosecute senior officials from a US ally.

Republicans earlier told Khan, if he applied for warrants against Israeli leaders, he would be barred from the US.

Potentally, also, the US could pressure the PA to stop cooperating with the ICC.

Interview

with Yezid Sayigh on Palestinian statehood

Whether Israel will stop its Rafah operation "depends almost entirely on whether the Biden admin seeks to give teeth to" the ICJ judgement.

While more western states are recognising Palestine, "as long as the US opposes Palestinian independence & sovereignty, things will get worse for all of us."

The US “day-after” plans in Gaza don’t lead to statehood & hence "set the stage for future violence".

The fascist rich fear only one thing -- people power:

Nixon & Kissinger:

"1971, huge antiwar demonstration surrounding the White House, & Nixon has put empty buses, city buses end-to-end as a kind of barricade...

"and he’s standing at the window wringing his hands, going, Henry, they’re going to break through the barricades and get us.

"And that’s just where you want power, people in power, to be.”
