Is the ICC going after Turkey, Syria, and others?

This is a prime time for Democrats to change their tune on #Gaza.

"On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin NETANYAHU, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav GALLANT, the Minister of Defence of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023"

Like the Dersh or dislike the Dersh, the law is pretty interesting.

The ICC has to follow its own charter and it's authority, which is defined by its signatories.

Seems pretty clear to me.

"After seven months of enabling Israel’s large-scale destruction of Gaza...Biden finally took a step toward accountability by suspending one shipment of bombs. But within days, it became clear he would allow Israel to receive a far larger flow of weapons.

Biden will go down in history as a president who had the power to restrain Israel, but refused to use his influence effectively – and allowed the US to be complicit in a ruthless war"

The "War" was started by Hamas, & is between Israel & Hamas primarily.

This propagandic transference of responsibility to the United States & President Biden is total bullshite.

The fight in the "region" is about the Middle East Balance of Power. Iran & Russia are supplying their proxies; Houthis, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihadi, & others Al Qaeda/AQAP, ISIS.

Biden has no sway over Netanyahu. This talkingpoint that it's America's problem is false.

"Palestinian resistance fighters?" You mean Hamas terrorists.

Alt- narrative: Fighting age Gazan men caught in a cross fire between Hamas terrorists & the IDF. After intense fire fight, suspect Hamas fighters interrogated & released alive.

Funny though, the so called self described human shields in the line of fire were not struck by Hamas terrorists.

Real Ukrainians have died, Russia has gained ground, all for the politics of Republicans.

Truly sickening. Mike Johnson did singularly obstruct the military aid because he refused to allow a vote on it. It would have passed 3 months earlier with an overwhelming Bipartisan support.

The House Insurrection Caucus threatened his Speakership in fealty to traitor tRUMP.

As Representative Jared Moskowitz pointed out yesterday at the Comer Weaponization Overshoot Committee Sham-hearing, the House only has 3 months left in this Legislative Session until the 2024 election, (they're out for 2 summer months).

So how will their Biden Impeachment Inquiry continue, the Merrick Garland subpoena stuff, & various other congressional stuff happen in 3 months left?

It won't, but the Smears & Innuendo will fill those 3 months, which is their only function.

@verdantsquare

Everything Cohen testified to is corroborated by other witnesses & physical documents.

Too much attention is being generated around Michael Cohen's testimony, because Cohen is the target of the tRUMPublican 'Blue Suit Red Tie Coup-Groupies' task of discrediting 'tRUMP's Fixer Bagman'.

Most media represents the tRUMP controlled narrative, which is a faulty point of view.

Juan Cole constructs a Potemkin argument. Nothing being done for the Gazans is good enough for the Potemkin Journalists.

Why, because everything happening to the Gazans is viewed through an Anti-Western, Anti-American, & Antisemitism lense. The Hamas terrorist apologists feed their confirmation biases exclusively.

Admiral John Kirby just yesterday explained that the 'pier' was at day 1, & clearly isn't a replacement for the 500 trucks needed.

Just ignore the Hamas War, it's Jews.

The most ridiculous thing about US notions of decorum, is that people are expected to be silent when Black women are attacked.🤷🏿‍♂️

If a Black woman is attacked and no one says anything, it's allowed to slide. But if a Black woman is attacked and people say anything in response, either calmly and politely like AOC did, or with an in-kind response like Crockett did, then all the "neutral" parties come pouring out of the woodwork, worried about "decorum."

Deeply unserious.

Two things, 1) the Majority in the U.S. House must show a justifiable need, (which there is none since they have the full unredacted transcript, & held a lengthy hearing with direct testimony from Hur), & 2) the so called Biden Impeachment Inquiry is under the purview of the Comer Oversight Committee, (which is dead in the water & sunk, since their bombshell witness is in prision), & it's not the purview of the Gym Jordan Judiciary Committee.
