"Albanese has done nothing more than speak" — Justice Richard J. Leon.
US court temporarily blocks Trump's "vastly over inclusive" sanctions against UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine @FranceskAlbs on freedom of speech grounds. Will Europe now act?
Albanese had submitted reports denouncing Israel's mass killing and ethnic cleansing. She also named US companies such as Google and Palantir who facilitated Israel's actions.
The ruling was made by senior DC judge Richard D. Leon who was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2002.
US sanctions are still active against European and Canadian ICC judges (the legality of which was not considered) and punitive measures against Albanese could be reimposed during subsequent hearings.
The EU can block the sanctions using its "blocking statute" — a move Spain's government said it would back. But will it?
Promoters have pulled Macklemore from Ed Sheeran’s tour after he called for a “Free Palestine” on stage:
“We have been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup”

The General Medical Council (@gmcuk) has officially become an arm of the 'israeli' lobby, tasked with punishing British doctors who oppose the genocide in Gaza.
Exhibit A: Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta.
The British Palestinian surgeon who volunteered in Gaza, saving countless lives. The pro-'israel' lobby group UKLFI reported him 10 times to the GMC. After a two year investigation, the Medical Practitioners' Tribunal Service (@the_MPTS) rejected all misconduct allegations on 9 January.
Now, the GMC, acting for the lobby, is appealing to the High Court to overturn the tribunal's decision.
This is UKLFI's playbook. They are a malicious, charity status lobby that has:
· Lied to have artwork by Palestinian children in Gaza removed from a UK hospital.
· Provided legal support to those 'upset' by opposition to genocide.
· Asked the 'israeli' government for help when threatened by UK NGOs.
· Claimed the genocide may reduce obesity in Gaza.
And has harassed and terrorised hundreds of British doctors and healthcare workers.
Their mission in their own words is to:
'use the law to counter attempts to undermine, attack and delegitimise "israel", "israeli" organisations, "israelis", and supporters of "israel"'.
Foreign agents are using British regulators and courts to ruin the careers and lives of British citizens for the benefit of a genocidal entity—shut them down.
Eternal shame on the Genocide Medical Council.
Power to Dr @GhassanAbuSitt1.
They say we Arabs are "savages"
Did we kill 6 Million Jews?
Did we drop the Atomic Bombs?
Did we melt the skin off Vietnamese children?
Did we kill 2.4 Million Iraqis?
Did we create Al Qaeda?
Did we imprison a million children without food, water, and medicine?
And you call us the savages?
A video was shared on social media for a civilian was executed on the main street of Beit Lahia, north of Gaza, enduring 40 minutes of suffering with amputated legs. Rescue efforts were blocked, and anyone attempting aid was targeted and sniped. Don’t say you didn’t know.
What happened to the ICJ provisional orders?
What of the international obligations?
Alongside this report by trusted British journalists, we have "safe-zone" hospitals bombed, patients burning w/ IVs in; ICU patients reported killed by Israeli shelling of Indonesia Hospital...

🇪🇸🇮🇱 Spain has refused entry to its territory to two ships carrying military equipment and explosives from India to Israel - Independent
Spain is not allowing ships carrying arms to Israel to call at its ports, the country’s foreign minister said, in keeping with its commitment to not “contribute to war”.
The European nation refused to let a ship carrying 27 tonnes of explosives from India to Haifa dock at the Cartagena port, El País reported.
"This is the first time we have done this because it is the first time we have detected a ship carrying a shipment of arms to Israel that wants to call at a Spanish port," José Manuel Albares, the foreign minister, said in Brussels on Thursday
"This will be a consistent policy with any ship carrying arms to Israel that wants to call at Spanish ports. The foreign ministry will systematically reject such stopovers for one obvious reason: the Middle East does not need more weapons, it needs more peace."
Listen, Israel. I was not born Palestinian. But you have made me Palestinian. Your cruelty, your racism, your mendacity, your crimes have burned the love of Palestine into my heart. Because to love justice is to love Palestine. Brave, beautiful Palestine. Today, #IAmAPalestinian.
