It is pretty remarkable to watch Germany stand up at the world court to argue that: "A finding of failure to prevent genocide is dependent on a prior finding that genocide has taken place." In other words, states' duty to prevent genocide is not justiciable until it is too late.

[John McEvoy @jmcevoy_2]

Germany is at the International Court of Justice arguing that the duty to prevent genocide is only triggered after a genocide has taken place.

This insane argument was previously made in court by the UK government when justifying the supply of fighter jet components to Israel.

Die SPD hat kein Problem damit, die Waffen zu liefen, mit der das isr Regime diese genozidalen Intentionen, die seit Okt. 23 immer wieder offen und ohne Scham artikuliert werden, umsetzt. Allein von Nov. 25 bis März 26 wurden Lieferungen im Wert von 167,4 Mio Euro genehmigt.

[Mustafa Barghouti @Mustafa_Barghouti @MustafaBarghou1]

The decision by Israeli Defense Minister Katz to transfer security powers in Israeli illegal settlements in the West Bank from the army to the police, run by fascist settler Ben-Gvir, marks the beginning of the de facto annexation of the West Bank and giving terrorist Israeli settlers free rein to attack Palestinians without accountability, and is part of a dangerous plan displacement and ethnic cleansing.

All Palestinian institutions , all Arab and Islamic countries, and international community, especially those who uphold international law, are called upon to take urgent action to stop the dangerous assault currently being carried out against the Palestinian people that will lead to a dangerous escalation.

America’s “Favor” That Powers Its Empire

U.S. troops in Germany are not there out of charity—and certainly not to “protect” Germans. They are there because without German soil, American global reach doesn’t function.

Ramstein is the largest U.S. air base outside America. Stuttgart hosts EUCOM and AFRICOM—the command centers for operations across Europe and Africa. Landstuhl has been the lifeline for wounded U.S. soldiers from Iraq to Afghanistan. Even drone operations in places like Somalia rely on infrastructure routed through Germany.

Remove that, and you don’t weaken Berlin—you blind Washington.

Yet somehow the narrative persists: America is doing Germany a favour. That Europe is the dependent, the beneficiary, the so-called “freeloader.”

It’s a convenient story. It’s also strategically backwards.

Because the reality is simple: those bases are not acts of generosity. They are instruments of power. And they exist in Germany not for Germany’s benefit—but for America’s ability to operate far beyond its own borders.

Take them away, and the question isn’t what Germany loses.

It’s how much the United States does.

[Hüseyin Dogru @hussedogru]

You can't make this up.
It's World Press Freedom Day, and these posters are on my doorstep: "Free Press. Protect what matters to us."

The very same @eucouncil literally sanctioned me for exactly that.

This is definitely going to be my campaign poster.

[Elisa Mosini 🇪🇺🇮🇹 @MosiniElisa]

Slovenia has joined Spain in demanding the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement over the situation in Lebanon

Honestly, it’s a shame that so many lack the courage shown by Slovenia and Spain in opposing Netanyahu

Hats off to the Slovenians and the Spaniards

They sabotaged Iran’s economy into collapse, infiltrated and armed protesters to riot and create mass casualties. Then inflated those numbers 10x to start an illegal war of destruction.

These aren’t conspiracy theories. These are confirmed facts and statements by officials.

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

Note how Israel NEVER names that "targeted Iranian commander" because he most definitely doesn't exist. Meaning the synagogue itself was the target.

Israel used that playbook repeatedly in Gaza; bomb a school, a church, a mosque...etc, then claim it was "collateral damage" in a "targeted strike" on an unnamed "commander"!

[Tariq Kenney-Shawa @tksshawa]

In 2021, @DCIPalestine reported that Israeli interrogators raped a 15-year-old Palestinian boy while in detention. DCIP shared the allegation with State Department officials, who reportedly raised it with Israel. In response, Israeli forces raided DCIP’s offices and later designated it as a “terrorist organization.”

Now, DCIP has announced they can no longer continue their work under constant Israeli attacks.

[Itay Epshtain @EpshtainItay]

BREAKING: In 2021, Israel designated Defence for Children International – Palestine @DCIPalestine, offered no evidence, and moved against its lawyers and that of five other Palestinian civil society groups to prevent effective appeal.

By July 2022, nine EU States (Belgium , Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and Sweden) publicly concluded that Israeli claims were unsubstantiated and continued their support to the NGOs.

DCIP endured. But institutions do not break overnight; they are worn down, incrementally, by accusation without proof and pressure without recourse.

What we are now witnessing is not an isolated episode, but a method of frivolous allegations and repression. One that will not stop at Palestinian organisations and will affect Israeli and international NGOs.

Measures framed as security regulation operate, in practice, to constrict humanitarian space, undermine human rights protection, and erode the institutional capacity through which Palestinians exercise agency and pursue self-determination.

A country that has nuclear weapons is threatening to use its nuclear weapons on the country it won’t allow to have nuclear weapons because if they had nuclear weapons they would ‘use them.’

When will the world stop these monsters? How many more lives will be destroyed by them before the world finally wakes up?

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

It is painful to see what Israelis are doing to the Palestinians -soldiers, settlers, security, police, very tangibly. This is not a war. It is to torture a people: physically and psychologically. And it is part of their erasure.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

The ICC prosecutor has faced more punishment for holding war criminals accountable than Netanyahu has for committing genocide.

Imagine explaining this to future generations.

[Mohammad @MargBarAmerica]

the shit israelis do is so incomprehensibly evil that you have no idea how to tell other people about it without sounding insane

Das #israel|ische Militär hat gestern in #Gaza in Deir el-Balah ein Geflüchtetenzeltlager bombardiert (1 Toter, 8 Verletzte)⬇️, bei Nuseirat per Drohne 2 Menschen getötet und mit Kriegsschiffen Zelte in Khan Yunis attackiert (4 Verl.), und im Westen heißt das Waffenstillstand.
