After 13 months of live-streamed, sadistic slaughter inside the open-air concentration camp that once was Gaza, the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
Yes, Donald J. Trump won the US Electoral College by 312 to Kamala Harris’ 226 and the official popular vote by 76.8 million to 74.3 million, but that doesn’t count as a “landslide” for any rational Australian.
The reality is that only 31.3% of eligible Americans voted for Trump, just a single percentage point more than the 30.3% who voted for Harris.
Contrary to almost every headline, Donald Trump did not achieve his second coming by a landslide, at least not by Australian measures of what makes a landslide. Michael Pascoe comments while mentally preparing for a month in Trumpistan.
While they convenience typical people, they also enable the mass coercion, surveillance and control of those very same people at the hands of the corporate and military state.
After months of deliberation, the International Criminal Court on Thursday formally issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri.
Even the bill’s supporters are aware of the threat it could pose to groups like Oxfam & (Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF ). Earlier in the week, when H.R. 9495 was before the House Committee on Rules, Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., proposed an amendment that would strengthen protections for such groups. (A spokesperson for Schneider declined to comment.)
“Regardless of political affiliations, do you really condemn someone who defends you and has your back against a terrorist state? Israel has been butchering, dehumanizing, torturing, and bombing us for 76 years. And has imposed a strict siege on us in Gaza for 17 years. In this context, where does this question even fit? It’s incredibly enraging that people are trying to justify Israel’s genocide by asking such silly questions.”
Israeli forces are explicitly allowing — and, in some cases, giving protection to — armed gangs in Gaza that are looting aid trucks and creating major obstacles for humanitarian groups to reach Palestinians in need, reports reveal.
One might well ask are they “Israelis in disguise. The Stern Gang and Irgun remain a very real part of the Zionist psyche ( Old Dog)
