"Israeli campaign against ICC may be ‘crimes against justice’"
"International lawyers believe conduct of Israeli intelligence service should be investigated by prosecutor in The Hague"
“It is quite clear that these are matters that fall within the jurisdiction of the ICC, in particular under article 70 of the statute. Any person who has attempted to obstruct the independent investigations of the prosecutor must face the consequences"
Here, the @EUCommission resembles the worst multinational corporations — trying to evade its responsibilities by simply subcontracting its human right violations.
Several hundreds of MILLIONS € are being spent on this.
An International Court of Justice ought to look into this.
As the Dutch newspaper Trouw wrote this morning, this is only the first article on this topic.
More will come.

"“What is happening here is so off-the-charts egregious that there is no other reading of the law: We have to cease weapons transfers to Israel.”
The letter also calls on Garland to investigate the thousands of U.S. citizens currently serving in the Israel Defense Forces for potential war crimes."
Note: regarding #Malta, whereas some accounts state that they already recognise #Palestine, they in fact recently made a joint statement in March 2024 together with #Ireland, #Slovenia and #Spain saying that:
"We discussed together our readiness to recognise Palestine and said that we would do so when it can make a positive contribution and the circumstances are right."
« La critique du gouvernement d’extrême droite du Premier ministre Netanyahu doit être possible, sans jamais être réduite à une critique d’Israël. J’irai même plus loin en disant que nous avons le devoir de critiquer un gouvernement où les extrémistes radicaux prônent la colonisation et le remplacement de population. »
🔥 "Évoquant le choix du terme de République pour le régime qu'il met en place":
« il ne comprenait certainement pas ce que voulait dire la République au sens moderne mais en revanche, […] dans ses oreilles sonnait immédiatement La République de #Platon, les textes qu'il enseignait pendant toute sa vie ».
Platon — que Popper prend comme principal responsable idéologique des régimes totalitaires du XXième siècle — se fait salement dézinguer.
Très très chouette #lecture 😁
Il y est aussi question de l'intéressant problème Socratique ; Popper arguant que si "l'Apologie de Socrate" est sans doute assez fiable, on ne peut plus faire confiance à Platon dans "La République", où il fait dire à Socrate ce que lui-même pense.
Le bâtard.
Oh ! Alors que j'y vois une critique de Platon, l'auteur de la citation a l'air au contraire de trouver ça positif !
Il joue sur le sophisme "si c'est grec, c'est que c'est bien" et enchaîne par des constructions lexicales alambiquées invitant à repenser l'État—sauf qu'il me semble qu'il ne parle pas de repenser l'État tel que définit en Iran, mais bien l'État démocratique (Platon haïssait la Démocratie).
Tout ça a un côté "soft power" pro-Chiite et encore + pro-Iran.
Varoufakis was not travelling to Germany nor attending the conference in person btw, but Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah was and got also banned from entering #Germany.
Germany moreover seems to believe that their internal #censorship, from their Interior Ministry (right?), should somehow apply outside of their borders, as they threaten people with fines or even jail time if they connect via Zoom from abroad!
