A short thread, very worthwhile reading. While in Davos Switzerland, Swiss prosecutors have served Israel's President Herzog with the complaint “Legal Action Against Crimes Against Humanity" - intended to be in parallel with the cases pending against Israel at the ICJ and ICC.

[Holly @HollyBlomberg]

Universal jurisdiction for genocide, the ‘crime of crimes,’ & other serious criminal acts means that the alleged perpetrators may be prosecuted anywhere they are found. Israeli President Isaac Herzog is discovering this at the WEF in Davos🧵1/4

A simple question 🙋🏽‍♂️

If GD promised Canaan to the Israelites, why didn’t GD bother to proclaim such gift to the rest of humanity?

As it stands, it just sounds like a self serving statement by a mob of shysters 🤷🏽

The Bible often deals in “types,” that is, a physical foreshadowing of a spiritual reality. The story of Abraham and his descendants up through the Exodus and the settling of the Promised Land is a physical representation of a far larger spiritual reality. The children of Israel took refuge in Egypt because of a famine, but several hundred years later, their refuge had become a place of slavery and misery. Through Moses, they were rescued from slavery, lived for many years learning how to trust God ever more fully, and finally, under the leadership of Joshua (whose name means “God saves” they entered the Promised Land of Canaan.

@AkiretaHK Sean, I can relate to, and quite possibly will experience something similar (to what you've described) again.

Huggz to you

@KateEmerson88 @GuardianAus Kate your without fear or favour truth telling is needed much much more in the world.
Shame upon shame of the Guardian's editorial staff 'waving this through'.
The journalist having blatant truth-warping bias is 1thing,albeit THE foundation of editorship's therefore don't publish

@mtshiyo_yamkela You are still soo youthful anyway!

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This is stunning data by the Pew Research center: in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, a huge percentage of the population considers the United States as a threat. We're talking 70%-80% of the population.

Even in Japan, THE main US ally in the region, 53% of the population considers the US "a major threat" and 23 a "minor threat".

[jonska @jonska8]

@rachmonkey1 Yes, good summary of where he's at &his MO.
Like Craig Foster here,he keeps in perspective that sport for the sake of sport is only that. ⚽ being the world game=geopolitics are intertwined with it.
Gary endorsing the Israel team playing ban is highly appropriate in that context.

[jonska @jonska8]

More power to Gary Lineker ✊🏽💜

Truth is truth and objecting by all means possible to genocide is incumbent upon each and every human.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Here we have it Gary Lineker v GB News and Kelvin Mackenzie.

If you support Lineker's right to free speech Like
If you can't stand the awful Kelvin Mackenzie and GB News RT.

[jonska @jonska8]

@rachmonkey1 2/2 Highly likely he has much wealth from playing at the highest level for 16 years;&hasn't needed to work since,but enjoys punditry/sports journalism. Indeed he knows right from wrong,&when incumbent to speak out,he does. Will research what he backs financially,he may be already

[jonska @jonska8]

@rachmonkey1 1/2 Sure, no reason to be concerned for Gary in that regard, nor most likely does he lack in robustness to deal with RW buffoonery.

It so happens that i played ⚽ for decades &following it's my main hobby since 10yo. I followed Gary playing (we share the same birth year).

[Joe2: Woke & proud of it. @eatatjoe2]

Remember, an @abcnews journo was sacked for drawing attention to this, coz it was considered 'too controversial' for a social media account.
Sadly, ABC is doing it's best not to report on Gaza, but censor what we see & hear. #auspol

@T1DME Hear hear,with 0.00% recurring of doubt
True ethics&actual humanity demand it must b seen&condemned as that by all,as well as doing everything possible to stop it. For most in actual/so called liberal democracies this means being en masse on the streets &assertively telling govts

[jonska @jonska8]

Except those I know(&certainly myself), in Australia at least, never ever use "woke" to describe themselves, &quite possibly it never crosses their minds that they are [never does for me].
This word only ever comes to my attention on social media/trashy media during RW rants.

Whether so called drips,sewer rats,stans etc like it or not- the govt is effectively anything but labor/tory 2 party; &effectively a state constituency of the US(declining hegemony unethical warmongers) anything but democratic party. I.e. our sovereignty is relinquished to the US

[melissa @ArtistAffame]

“It's only been 6 months give labor time to raise the rate”
“It's only been 12 months give them time”
“They will cancel the stage 3 tax cuts the closer it gets”
“They can't cancel them this close to it happening”
I think we've heard every excuse.

To all the journalists too scared to speak up about genocide for fear of losing their job…

Reporting the truth is literally your job description!

Do your job FFS.

The gutless wonder-ness, sycophantically hitching our wagon to the declining US hegemon, and dispense with ethics and even handedness of the current tory party 2 Australian government.

We can be better and it's incumbent on all Australians to assist on better.

Some take home points for our Government from the UNSC Emergency Session apropos our support for the bombing of Yemen.

Serious questions have been raised about the risks and the legalilty of our actions.
