"If Netanyahu comes to address Congress, I would be more than glad to show the ICC the way to the House floor to issue that warrant."
~ Rep. Mark Pocan
Opposition to speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) invitation to Netanyahu has been mounting following ICC prosecutor Karim Khan's application for arrest warrants.
The right to privacy is a fundamental right in this country. The discussions a patient has with her physician were protected by Roe v Wade.
This isn’t about being pro life. The republicans have shown time and time again they wouldn’t give two squirts of piss for anyone’s life. If they did, they would quit trying to defund social programs that are proven to save and improve lives of children and adults.
A majority of Supreme Court Justices were appointed by Presidents who lost the popular vote.
We must abolish the antiquated and slavery-era Electoral College have a national popular vote. We can have a runoff between the top two if no candidate gets 50% in the first round.
Joe Biden has expressed a willingness to work alongside the PARTY OF DONALD TRUMP to intimidate a legitimate court of law which is trying to defend one of the most persecuted and marginalized groups of people in modern history against a bloodthirsty genocidal war criminal and his ongoing campaign of butchery.
A campaign of butchery for which Biden has chosen to aid and abet for months.
@angiebaby They stand for what political parties, no exception, have always stood for in purported democracies: subverting democracy to get the reins of power.
The ICJ rulings last week as to Israel also included rulings as to Hamas; including a cease fire order and an order that Hamas release all Israeli hostages. The US through Anthony #Blinken said that Israel can ignore the ICJ rulings directed to it. I assume Blinken is also directing Hamas to ignore the rulings against it, to keep fighting, and to continue holding the Israeli hostages.
If the ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu & Gallant are granted, they "won’t be able to step foot in any country that is a signatory to the ICC without risking arrest.
"The ICC court has long been criticised for going after leaders only from the Global South."
Architects/Participants/Funders/Promoters/Deniers of this genocide can't be allowed to scapegoat a single person
Continue pretending:
Israel isn't
A) Rogue State (illegal nuclear weapons)
B) Violating sovereignty of more than 3 countries
C) Targeting civllians
D) Nationalistic ethn-ostate promoting systemic white supremacy via #apartheid
#Israel = plurality party system, 1 party, "Jewish Power"= a settler (aka criminal) organization
"ICJ rules Israel must stop Rafah operation, what’s next?"
"International Court of Justice orders are legally binding.
"However, the court’s ruling will now be discussed at the UN Security Council, where states can decide to take united action to enforce the court’s rulings.
"However, the US has a veto, which it has historically used to shield Israel from the consequences of violating international law."
@DrALJONES The use of its Veto will exhaust all of its political capital and will create long term consequences for the US, it will be a much diminished power. Good!
"Private equity firms owned more than 20% of the health-care companies that went bankrupt last year. The nonprofit Private Equity Stakeholder Project, which investigates multiple industries, said it spotted at least 17 such bankruptcies in 2023, compared with eight in 2019 and even fewer during the previous three years, marking a 112.5% increase over the last five years."
With private equity firms failing to find success in healthcare, and with rural hospitals unable to keep their doors open, now is perfect time for the US government to take the healthcare industry public.
Profit and healthcare don't mix. Scoop up the hospitals and clinics for pennies on the dollar and restore healthcare access to rural areas.
