US administration investigating Iran war critic Trita Parsi, says report https://t.co/8aR1sKZdQ0
The US is already in many respects more autocratic than many contemporary autocracies. Complete intolerance for free speech and debate joined by rule of propaganda institutions and media
These arrest warrants were issued by three independent and impartial judges of an ICC Pre-Trial Chamber.
The warrants aren't going away, and further warrants may follow.
ICC fugitives may choose to appear in The Hague. If they clear their names, the warrants will be terminated.
"What the Gaza genocide has done, it's unmasked these realities in Western societies and revealed that they don't actually believe in those basic liberties that they claim separate them from the despots and dictators in the world."

Israel killed Sam, a 7-month-old baby on Friday. He joins my 14 nieces & nephews, & over 20,000 other children Israel has killed.
We’re told they were mistakes, collateral damage or human shields.
This video will show you that this is a lie. Israel wanted to kill these children
Israeli killings of civilians and displacement of hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians have continued unabated, despite the declaration of a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah on April 17.
Unless Israel’s impunity is brought to an end, more unlawful bloodshed will continue.

"In the past two and a half years, Israel has killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza and the West Bank. The immunity it gets from the international community has led to a reality where, under Israeli rule, Palestinian lives are entirely disposable."
⬇️
New footage obtained by B’Tselem uncovers the moments when the Abu Haikal family was shot. Seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was killed in the shooting, and both his parents were injured. The footage clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at the car as it was slowing to a stop. The car was far from the soldiers and posed no danger to them whatsoever.
Moments later, in another video obtained by B’Tselem, seven-month-old Sam’s father, Fahed, is seen just after his son was shot. Fahed is holding baby Sam in his arms, trying to stop the bleeding from his head with his hands, while Sam’s mother, Daniyah, who was also injured by the gunfire while holding her son, is seen sitting on the ground, next to the car.
Last Friday, 5 June, an Israeli soldier fired at a Palestinian family driving home from a family visit, as they sat in their car in the Tel Rumeidah neighborhood in Hebron. The family was shot as the car was slowing to a stop at the soldier’s command. Sam, a seven‑month‑old baby who was in his mother’s arms in the back seat, was struck in the head and pronounced dead shortly afterward. Sam’s parents were also injured by the gunfire; his mother is still in the hospital. After the shooting, the soldier who fired and another soldier who was with him left the scene without checking the car or offering any assistance to the critically wounded baby or to his mother.
In the past two and a half years, Israel has killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza and the West Bank. The immunity it gets from the international community has led to a reality where, under Israeli rule, Palestinian lives are entirely disposable – even a seven‑month‑old baby.
A video shows armed Israeli settler terrorists attacking Palestinian civilians while they were working on their homes in the village of Jiljilya in the West Bank.
In a global order lacking agreed rules, where major powers and non-state actors treat international law with contempt, the business of war and peace grows similarly anarchic, writes Simon Tisdall.

🚨Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs Sunday in retaliation to a Hezbollah missile attack on northern Israel, Israeli officials said
🚨Why it matters: Iran threatened last week to launch a missile attack against Israel if it attacks Beirut. Such a move could unravel U.S.–Iran negotiations and reignite the war

BREAKING: US President Donald Trump has called for more attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon effectively urging an escalation of Israel’s war on the country - after pushing for a ceasefire.

Israeli strikes on Beirut come again after the theatrics of a Trump-Netanyahu spat fought out in public
Bibi chooses domestic politics (where he has come under pressure by his coalition partners for not pushing back against Trump) over his relationship with Trump who has been slapped in the face by Bibi yet again
@realDonaldTrump humiliated again by Bibi
"Two senior U.S. military officials said that American personnel, particularly those serving in Israel or with Israeli counterparts, were well aware of the counterintelligence risks before the new report".
Hardly surprising, really.

"Pentagon Sees Growing Espionage Threat From Israel.
The Defense Department has increased the counterintelligence threat assessment to its highest level, and Israel is believed to have eavesdropped on American negotiations with Iran" https://t.co/8ZSihoBK8Q
Mohammad Abu Jiab, a young fisherman, went out to sea in search of food for his family. Today, Israeli forces killed him off the coast of Gaza.
In Gaza, even the search for food can become a death sentence.
🚨 Massacre after massacre in Gaza.
Red Crescent ambulances just evacuated 4 martyrs and over 10 injured following an Israeli strike on the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis, which is densely packed with displaced families.
Earlier this morning, a Palestinian fisherman was killed by Israeli naval forces off the coast of Deir al-Balah, following a bloody Saturday that claimed the lives of 10 martyrs yesterday.
With Germanys failure to get elected to the United Nations Security Council, this brilliant address by Slovenia, Spain, and Belgiums action in Europe and the weakening of the US/Israeli military by their defeat in Iran, there is real hope that US/Israeli global terrorism may finally be addressed.
