" If we turn our backs and ignore the crimes against humanity that are being committed in Gaza right now, what credibility will we ever have in criticizing the actions of any country, no matter how terrible those actions may be?"
"His applications wholly ignore, any and all, issues unconnected with the current situation in the Gaza Strip. Nothing about the crime against humanity that is #apartheid, nothing about the war crime of illegal settlement, nothing about #Israel’s previous onslaughts against the #Gaza Strip, or its systematic sniper attacks against demonstrators during the 2018 #GreatMarchOfReturn." - #MouinRabbani
An Israeli attack on a residential square in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza crumbled several buildings and scattered body parts of victims all over the area, according to witnesses.
A little girl, distraught with grief, said all of her siblings were killed in the attack.
“I was in the market. I came home to find all my brothers and sisters gone,” she said. “All of them were killed, ripped to pieces, their flesh scattered all over the place.” @palestine #Gaza #WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity
The lead prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has announced that he is seeking arrest warrants for Benjamin #Netanyahu and Yahya #Sinwar, along with senior figures of their respective regimes, for the commission of #WarCrimes and #CrimesAgainstHumanity.
Amidst the predictable performative outrage from the US political elite, one fact is barely reported upon: the US is amongst a handful of nations that does not recognise the #ICC, and has on its books a 2002 law (colloquially dubbed 'the Hague Invasion Act') threatening war upon the #Netherlands (!) should any US citizen (or the citizen of any US ally) be brought for trial before the ICC.
Given the fact that the #US routinely fails to follow its own laws, let alone #InternationalLaw, when it comes to war crimes and crimes against humanity, the chances of an actual US invasion of the European lowlands is scant. Nonetheless, the rogue nature of #USexceptionalism is the always the elephant in the room when it comes to all discussions of accountability for the most egregious crimes of #geopolitics.
#POTUS#Biden said #Israel’s #military assault in #Gaza after the #Hamas#Oct7 attacks “is not genocide.” “We reject that,” he said, telling an audience of #Jewish ldrs & activists Americans “stand with Israel.”
>> decision to seek arrest warrants… is retribution against Israel for the original [sin] of existing as a #Jewish State
The reason #Torres is completely unhinged here is because ICC prosecutor ALSO said that he had “reasonable grounds to believe” that #Sinwar, #Deif & #Haniyeh were responsible for “#warCrimes and #crimesAgainstHumanity” — including “the killing of hundreds of #Israeli civilians in attacks perpetrated by #Hamas”
"For #KarimKhan history begins on October 7, even though his investigation has, by his own account, been ongoing for a number of years and is supposed to take into account all crimes committed since 2014. He has yet to address any crimes between 2014 and 2023, notably the crime of #apartheid, the crime of #IllegalSettlements in #OccupiedTerritories..." - #MouinRabbani

@DropBear@serge There is so much wrong with your post that it would take forever to properly unpack... Primarily you are tokenizing Jews via one of the most fringe sects out there. Secondly, you fundamentally do not understand what Zionism is.
"The strategy utilised by the Zionist Establishment within Jewish communities and outside these communities, particularly, in the United States, England, France, Germany and Australia is to engage in an intentional falsification of history and contemporary reality when it comes to the supposedly intractable conflict between Israel and the Palestinians."

"As the world witnessed in the case of the destruction of the highly probable victory of Jeremy Corbyn becoming British Prime Minister, these campaigns of destroying opponents of Israeli ethnic cleansing have been extremely potent and successful.
This is an important case given current crimes against humanity in the Middle East and Africa.
Switzerland tried the case under the principle of universal jurisdiction, which allows countries to prosecute people for crimes that took place elsewhere.
Philip Grant, head of the organisation that filed the complaint leading to Ousman Sonko's arrest, said the case sends a "resounding message against impunity".

"The ongoing violence and oppression against Palestinians by the Israeli government violate fundamental human rights principles. The disproportionate use of force, illegal settlements, and blockade of Gaza have resulted in immense suffering and loss of life. Our nation should not support regimes engaged in such violations. Action Requested: We urge the Prime Minister to take a principled stand against the Israeli government's actions by severing diplomatic ties, ending military support, and condemning human rights abuses in Palestine." https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN6106 #AusPol #IsraelPalestineConflict #Israel #Palestine #WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #genocide @palestine @israel
