Yes, I know that guy still stands a good chance of winning the election in November, but this is your regular reminder that you can't fight a long fight without stopping to enjoy your victories or you will burn out to a cinder.

So to recap—Israel:
•Illegally spied on ICC for 9 years
•Threatened ICC prosecutor Khan
•Killed a story by Haaretz on the illegal spying by having Mossad threaten the Haaretz journalist with torture
•Bans journalists in Gaza and has killed 100+ journalists

BEHOLD: "The only democracy in the Middle East"

In the same way most of us say “goodbye” without realising it derives from “god be with ye”, maybe one day people will end conversations with “likensubscribe”

'We Did the Same Thing,' US Official Says After Israel's Rafah Massacre

The White House appears to be arguing, “George Bush should be prosecuted for committing war crimes in Iraq,” and for the record, I think that’s a great idea.

my heart goes out to everyone in Delhi, especially the workers and street vendors, children and elderly, the many without AC. Water scarcity and rationing; overflowing morgues in Rajasthan.

What have Labour done in their first campaign week? Deselected left-wing (not Israel supporting) candidates!! Diane Abbott (not sure but looks like it), now Doctor Faiza Shaheen, in Chingford, and more. This is appalling. Really angry.

EDIT: it’s become a bit of a 🧵 because i am so angry. But honestly: everyone should be very angry about this, on Faiza’s behalf and for us all.

Apparenly Faiza Shaheen was suspended from the Labour party for liking a tweet with a Jon Stewart sketch. This is appalliing!!!

With having destroyed the majority of schools and universities in the Strip, activists have assumed the responsibility of assembling children in displacement camps to ensure their education continues, despite the severe shortage of resources and safe spaces.

I haven’t posted a ‘here is something insane that a German said recently’ so here is one.

After educating us on antisemitism this German is now educating us on democracy, which is famously what Germany is historically known for

Italian opposition urges government to recognise Palestinian State

Italian opposition parties, the Five Star Movement, the Democratic Party, and the Green and Left Alliance, are putting increasing pressure on the Italian government to follow the lead of Norway, Spain, and Ireland in officially recognising the state of Palestine.

It’s really indicative to read testimonies of how people around Warsaw and Poland were reacting to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising as it was being crushed by the Nazis.

One thing that struck me is how the merry-go-rounds on the ‘Aryan side’ of the wall were full with kids playing with the smoke from the Ghetto just near them. https://sprawiedliwi.org.pl/en/about-the-righteous/poles-reaction-to-the-uprising-in-the-warsaw-ghetto-1943

Anyway, here is a photo of Gaza taken from Israel.

It's always weird when people insist Biden has no power in a foreign policy situation, the one area where -- unfortunately -- the president has virtually unlimited authority.

gwynnion,
@gwynnion@mastodon.social avatar

Biden can unilaterally freeze military assistance under the Foreign Assistance Act.

He and Secretary of State Blinken have been overriding State Department findings on Leahy Law violations in Israel in order to avoid doing so.

Biden can recognize a Palestinian state right now if he wants to.

He can impose sanctions.

He can direct his UN ambassadors to stop protecting Israel at the security council.

He isn't helpless to act.

He just doesn't want to.

May Biden be haunted by the screams of the children in Palestine, by the shouts of protesters, the loneliness of the disabled he abandoned and the disabled he created, and by the voices of peacemakers holding him to account.

Statements from countries in the global North about "regrettable" or "horrifying" outcomes occurring during a rolling genocide that they have either done nothing halt, or worse, have actively fueled, should be viewed as nothing more than counterrevolutionary propaganda. Please stop treating them as acts of bravery or indications of a policy reversal - it's ass covering at best, presumably so they can get back to the business of profiting off death.

Revealed: Israeli spy chief ‘threatened’ ICC prosecutor over war crimes inquiry

Unsurprising, but also likely to isolate Israel even more. They are acting like Russians.
