Roundtable

with Miko Peled & Sami Al-Arian on Zionism

"You can't really sustain racism & the kind of violence that's perpetrated against Palestinians without fear. Fear & mistrust are the foundation...

"Growing up in Jerusalem, there was no wall, no checkpoints, but you wouldn't dream of going into a Palestinian neighborhood in Jerusalem - because of these walls & checkpoints that were built inside your head".

@DrALJONES that sounds odd to me. Plenty of Jews in West Jerusalem eat and drink and mix with Arabs and Palestinians in East Jerusalem every day. Infact, school kids do it a lot ignoring any Kosher observance.

“Why Do Israel’s Bidding?”: Hossam Bahgat Blasts Egypt Policy at Rafah Crossing

"Egyptian authorities have closely coordinated with Israel in decisions around.. the Rafah crossing.

"Egyptian security forces have also locked up over 120 people in Egypt... on terrorism charges for expressing solidarity with Palestine."

Egypt fears that allowing pro-Palestinian expression will extend to broad criticism of Egyptian policies.

@russellt we’ve been watching real time over these last months not only the destruction of Gaza and genocidal acts, but the erosion and loss of influence and credibility of the USA on the global stage. Biden & Blinken have been PR disasters for the USA and their unconditional support and enabling genocide leaves them with no credibility. Not only are they getting the finger from Netanyahu, but the ICC and some major European allies.

No word from Republicans on how further tax cuts for corporations and multi-millionaires are not reckless wealth transfers. Republican support for debt bondage is full-throated, however.

Instead of putting up "angry" performances wrt student protests and ICC's issuance of an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, Biden had better listen to what the Irish Prime Minister had to say when Ireland announced the recognition of the State of Palestine (along with and ).

That's how politicians, who actually respect the intelligence of the people whom they serve, deal with political issues, and how they honor their homeland's love for freedom.

The can issue for signatories countries an arrest warrant on because it has jurisdiction over international crimes committed in since 2012

BUT

If doesn't recognise the , its territory isn't included in the jurisdiction, and the crimes of Hamas where carried out there, then how can the issue a legally binding arrest warrant on Hamas leaders?

@amnogues @academicchatter @politicalscience @geopolitics @sociology @anthropology Palestine became a signatory of the Rome Statue in 2015. Judiciary agreed that for the intent of the Rome Statute Palestine be recognised as a State. Crimes committed by or to a member of the ICC gives the ICC full jurisdiction to investigate and Khan has done that. This is no different to Putin’s warrant where Ukraine is a member, but Russia is not.

Though both Israel and US are not signatories of the Rome Statute that concedes ICC jurisdiction, the Genocide Convention that went into force in 1951 covers all General Assembly members and the is authorized to charge crimes against humanity without limitation.

It also imposes obligations on all members to arrest persons charged. Putin was charged in March 2023 under the genocide convention. Arrest Putin now!

Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.

@WizardBear @cstross Biden is very much complicit by providing the funding and arms. He is the enabler. He has broken both Federal and Intl Law. Should key Israeli Gov and IDF officials ever be charged with genocidal acts, Biden and Blinken will be next on the list. The law is clear on that. You cannot point the finger at Trump for today’s actions while Biden is shovelling money and arms into Israel as fast as he can. That is risible.
