NEW — 27 members of Congress press Marco Rubio & Mike Huckabee to free Palestinian-American teen Mohammed Ibrahim from Israeli detention.

Anyone with a TV, laptop or smartphone can see that what's happening in Gaza is genocide. But not the US, which denies what is clearly evident with little more than Chico Marx's "Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?"
@VictorBlackwell You're right, of course, that there is no genocide going on in South Africa. But it's frigging shameful that when you list places where there are genocides underway you could not bring yourself to say Gaza.
A warning to the US administration and Congress: Under Art.70 of the Rome Statute of the ICC, you can be prosecuted for “impeding, intimidating or corruptly influencing an official of the Court” and for “retaliating against an official of the Court on account of duties performed by that or another official.” If convicted, you can face five years in prison. In addition, your lawlessness will result in even further isolation of the US on the world stage. Both the global South and 124 ICC state parties will be compelled to oppose you. And decent people everywhere will resist your criminal conduct. #BackOff

Can't wait to see how @StateDeptSpox doesn't talk about this.

@SenTomCotton You are either deaf and blind, incredibly stupid or simply owned by the Israel lobby to spin what's happening the way you do. You should be ashamed.
