Kailey Leinz: "Do you think there should be conditions on the aid the United States sends to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv?"
Haley Stevens: "Absolutely not."
Settlements expanding in the West Bank? No Problem
Far-right ministers calling for ethnic cleansing? No Problem
Genocide case at the ICJ? No Problem
No conditions. No accountability. No questions asked.
Just blank checks. For everything. Forever.
If you try to break the siege & genocide in Gaza — Apartheid Israel forces attack you.
If you try to enter Gaza to colonize it — Apartheid Israel forces embrace you.
John Fetterman says he and Lindsey Graham bonded over -- his words -- ''our love and devotion to Israel."
In what other country can elected officials just constantly and repeatedly proclaim their "devotion" to a foreign country this way?
Oh wow!! how touching, he and his wife traded their fancy penthouse for some gun licenses and are now moving to a farm right next to Palestinians in the Jordan Valley to Kill them and call the whole bloody thing a “dream.
Zionism is truly a mental disease among other horrific things
Yesterday thousands of 🇮🇱 Israeli far-right activists marched to the 🇵🇸 Gaza border, reportedly led by 8 Ministers and more than 20 Members of Knesset. The far-right is attempting to secure settlements in Gaza before the next Israeli election, coming at the end of October.
It's clear that the messianic Zionist movement will not stop at the West Bank or Gaza, they will attempt to take as much land as possible, and dispossess as many Arabs as possible, for the purpose of their Lebensraum project.
The ICC is not a “kangaroo court.” It was created by treaty, the Rome Statute, which now binds 125 states, and its judges are elected by those states. The statement attacks Karim Khan personally, but Khan neither convicted Netanyahu nor issued the warrants. Under Article 58, a prosecutor may only seek an arrest warrant. Three independent judges must find reasonable grounds before one can issue.
On 21 November 2024, Pre-Trial Chamber I unanimously found reasonable grounds to believe Netanyahu bears criminal responsibility for starvation as a method of warfare, intentionally directing attacks against civilians, and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts. That is the Court’s ruling, and attacks on Khan do nothing to change it.
Nor does the ICC stand alone. At the International Court of Justice, an entirely different court, Israel is the respondent in South Africa v. Israel under the 1948 Genocide Convention. The Court has issued three binding provisional-measures orders finding that the Palestinians’ rights under the Convention are plausible and directing Israel to prevent genocidal acts and permit humanitarian aid at scale. Its March 2024 order addressed famine conditions in Gaza directly. That is the same factual reality underlying the ICC’s starvation charge.
The claim that the ICC has “no jurisdiction over Israelis” is equally false. Article 12(2)(a) is territorial, not national. Palestine acceded to the Rome Statute in 2015, and crimes committed on the territory of a State Party fall within the Court’s jurisdiction regardless of the accused’s nationality. A foreign national who commits a crime on someone else’s soil is not immunised by his passport, and Netanyahu is no exception.
If Mayor Mamdani’s Law Department concludes that the city has a lawful basis to act on the ICC’s warrant, then New York should enforce the law. The same principle applies wherever Netanyahu travels.
In practical terms, that means countries whose airspace Netanyahu’s aircraft enters should require it to land and arrest him.
European countries that are parties to the Rome Statute are treaty-bound to cooperate fully with the ICC under Article 86 and, when the Court requests it, to comply with requests for the arrest and surrender of a person under Article 89(1). They are not free to treat an ICC arrest warrant as optional simply because the suspect is politically powerful.
It's not quite so simple. First, Carney made cuts to Canada's ability to track wildfires, which isn't something you can blame provinces for
Second, national parks/First Nations communities are federal in jurisdiction
How is this not treason? A sitting senator calling a foreign government to pressure other elected American politicians into voting to give American tax dollars away to that foreign country!
