Tree reunion 🧵
When I was far younger than now,another lifetime so to speak,I started work as a steeplejack (apprentice). One of my first jobs was at the brick yards (works) that used to be dotted about in 'black valley',as it used to be known, in Bedford. Brick chimneys
Blatant US double standard:
On Gaza: Only negotiations can resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, not a withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza
On Ukraine: Now is not the time for negotiations to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict, until Russian forces withdraw from Ukraine
The deep state stenographers sold you the Covid lies and the US proxy war in Ukraine that killed over 500k people. They are now flooding all channels with propaganda against Tucker Carlson because it’s their job to keep the war going. They are your enemy.

يجب على الصين أن تبيع عدداً من الأسلحة إلى تكساس يماثل ما تبيعه الولايات المتحدة لتايوان.
هذا اقتراح جيد، وأنا أؤيده بشدة!
Next steps after the ICJ genocide ruling against Israel:
An application to the UN Security Council to enforce the ICJ ruling which will likely be vetoed by the US. Followed by an application to the UN General Assembly under the ‘Uniting for Peace’ Resolution 377A(V):
1. To suspend the UN membership of Israel until it complies with ICJ ruling.
2. Admit the State of Palestine to become a member of the UN.
3. Set up a special criminal tribunal to try Israel and its senior officials on charges of genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
4. Try the US, UK, Germany and other members of the ‘rules-based International order’ for aiding and abetting Israel in its genocide against Palestinian civilians.
5. Impose comprehensive economic sanctions against Israel and its enablers.
The US and its allies have set precedents in pursuing and punishing the perpetrators and enablers of war crimes. Time to find out if the same rules apply to them.
15 of 17 Judges at the International Court of Justice concluded that provisional measures in the case of genocide against Israel are necessary.
The ICJ order:

What does this mean?
A victory for the Palestinian people and a massive problem for Israel and its enablers like the US Govt and Germany who are the two largest arms suppliers for Israel.
South Africa deserves gratitude for brining this important case against Israel.
Netanyahu, senior Israeli officials and military leaders are at great risk to be found guilty of genocide because they made their intent to commit genocide widely known. But this case will drag on for many years.
The nickname Genocide Joe based on the complicity of Joe Biden in the Gaza genocide will haunt him during his re-election campaign. He’s now unelectable and if the Dems can’t get Biden to stop his re-election bid they are guaranteed to lose.
It’s one thing for the Biden DOJ to indict Trump for all kinds of misdemeanors but being associated with the systematic and criminal mass murder of over 10,000 children makes Biden the worst possible candidate.
Because the US Govt vetoed every ceasefire vote at the UN Security Council and continued to provide arms to Israel after senior officials made their intent of genocide publicly known the US Govt, Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken may end up as co-accused in this case of genocide.
The rules-based International order is finished. The double standard of the West and especially the US Govt have been exposed in this case.
Many nations and militant groups in the Middle East may use this ruling to justify their interventions against Israel and the US.
This is a big day for International law and justice. There’s hope that not every important institution has been corrupted by the US and its vassals.
Officials in Israel have already slammed the ICJ ruling as anti-semitic but the ICJ order speaks for itself. Israel is charged with the worst crime known to humanity and has become a pariah on the world stage.
What should happen now:
All foreign arms deliveries to Israel must stop immediately.
Trade embargoes and sanctions should be established against Israel if it continues to attack Palestinian civilians.
Consumer boycotts of products and services from Israel are certainly a choice for people around the world.
@elonmusk should call off his friendship with Netanyahu and @RobertKennedyJr is unelectable for his unwavering support of Israel. Don’t vote for him.
Demonstrations for the Palestinian people and the establishment of a Palestinian state with borders that pre-date the theft of Palestinian land. Thanks to all the fair minded people who demonstrated for the Palestinians around the world.
Thank you South Africa 🇿🇦
Why did the International Court of Justice accept all of South Africa's arguments but not order Israel to end its genocidal military assault on Gaza?
Because it dared not take on the real culprit: the US. Biden would have been forced to wield his veto at the Security Council to block enforcement.
Identifying Washington as the sponsor of genocide marked the limit of the World Court's courage.
