#gaza#ICC#israel
From Laura K: "When asked about the possibility of a ceasefire, President Biden said he is “powerless to do anything about this.” The people who control the barely sentient husk that is the US president are currently formulating a more thorough response. The Hague has been advised to urgently get an iron dome just in case AIPAC gets carried away."
"The Israelis have gone to the dark side, and they really don’t give a damn"
They're "addicted now to the sadism that we’ve seen practiced in Gaza. The first victim of this war is morality. The second is human decency. And the last but not least is the truth. Netanyahu chose lying as a strategy, & he thinks he can get away with it."
"Netanyahu understands now that he’s gone too far & there’s no way he can back off."
The weight of the evidence incriminating Netanyahu and Gallant, as briefly outlined in Khan’s statement, “Notwithstanding any military goals they may have, the means #Israel chose to achieve them in #Gaza — namely, intentionally causing death, starvation, great suffering, and serious injury to body or health of the civilian population — are criminal,” Khan said.
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."
"Who is the American ICJ judge who voted in favour of Israel ceasefire order?"
"US citizen & former Columbia law school professor Sarah Cleveland was among the 13 judges at the International Court of Justice who ordered the immediate halt of Israel’s offensive in Rafah."
La Corte internazionale di giustizia ha ordinato a Israele di fermare la sua offensiva a Rafah
È una decisione molto importante a livello politico, che aumenta la pressione internazionale su Israele: il governo però ha già detto che non la rispetterà
** il governo però ha già detto che non la rispetterà **
Come se ne sono sempre fottuti di altre millemila risoluzioni ONU con il beneplacito, il sostegno e tutta l'ipocrisia dei quali sono capaci gli USA
Given the developments this week it has become clear that:
The International Criminal Court,
The International Court of Justice,
Ireland,
Spain,
and Norway…
…are all Hamas.
Yes, there is no other explanation and Israel is by no means an apartheid state engaged in genocide (how could you even think such a thing, you raging antisemite, you?!)
There's hope for a halt to the war in Gaza, but Netanyahu likely won't comply. The US may side with him. Most countries are supportive a #ceasefire.
"The ICJ rules that Israel must halt its military offensive in Rafah in southern Gaza. South Africa had asked the ICJ to order it as an emergency measure, saying Israel’s actions in Rafah amount to a “genocidal” operation & threaten the survival of the Palestinian people."
Yesterday's Russian attack on the #Kharkiv region, which killed and injured people, destroyed a printing press and burned 50,000 books, shows that Russia is at war with humanity and all aspects of normal life.
Russian terrorists kill adults and children, destroy cities and villages, leaving scorched spots where normal life once was. Another day of Putin's genocide... 8 killed and dozens wounded in this atrack. Please, speak up for Ukrainians. They need our help. 🙏

"The EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borell, warns Israel not to intimidate ICC judges"
Earlier this week after the news of a potential ICC warrant, Netanyahu said he had no fear of travelling internationally & that Khan "should be concerned about his [Kahn's] status”.
"Khan says he was also warned by a senior western official that the ICC should be for Africa and for thugs like Putin, not for the West and its allies."

“Let me repeat: democratically elected officials can commit war crimes. The ICC is doing its job—it’s doing what it is supposed to do—we cannot only apply international law when it is convenient.”
#HumanRights groups are urging US President Joe Biden’s administration to oppose threats against the International Criminal Court (ICC) after its chief prosecutor’s decision to seek arrest warrants against Israeli officials drew ire in #Washington.
In a letter to #Biden that was made public on Thursday, more than 100 organisations from around the world called on the US government to “oppose any legislative efforts to undermine the #ICC”.
We are finding out who the real fascists are in the world today. The christian Taliban leadership of Poland standing firm behind the genocidal regime of Israel.
EU should have punished and even kicked Poland out of EU when they became the torture center for CIA and US state department during Bush presidency.
But sadly, crimes against EUs so called fundamental foundation of human rights, don't cover crimes against Muslims or people of color. Not to forget their outrageous Taliban style abortion laws or continues torture, mistreatment and even murder of immigrants.
“Despite efforts by #Biden and Congressional leaders to assert that the #ICC has some kind of anti-#Israel bias, nearly every leader ever prosecuted by the ICC prior to 2023 has been African, including presidents of Liberia, Libya and Sudan. #Netanyahu and Gallant would be the first US-allied leaders ever indicted by the ICC.
It appears, then, that in Washington’s view, international humanitarian law should only apply to leaders not supported by the #UnitedStates”
"Clear majorities of respondents say they back peaceful pro-Palestinian demonstrations and ‘an immediate ceasefire,’ but 61% feel the protests ‘crossed the line into antisemitism’"
That these protests increase suffering by siding with a perceived underdog. But when almost the entire UN has voted to recognize Palestine as a state, whereas the #icc only refers to Israel as a territory, they've inverted the meaning of underdog.
I'm just not seeing how these protests are against oppression as they only fan the flames in effectively rewarding the Hamas policy of martyring civilians. They've incentivized death.
