🚨 BREAKING:

​Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur:

​"My credit card doesn't work, I can't pay bills or transfers; my health insurance was cancelled. I feel like Pablo Escobar—all because I said, 'Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.'"

[Rafael Shimunov 🍉 🕎 @rafaelshimunov]

I don’t know why you follow me @BoyGeorge, is it to remind me that George Michael won? We all know.

He gave millions in charities in secret, while you defaming dead bodies of Palestinians for publicity with monsters. He gave all proceeds of so many songs to needy kids, while you celebrate bombing them. He worked anonymously in homeless shelters, while you defend those who made millions homeless. And those who are still buried under their bombed homes. He was an advocate for Palestinians while you are their genocide denier.

In his coffin he is still an artist. Alive, you are wasted away.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

Just because you lobbied to have the man who issued the war crimes taken down doesn’t mean the war crimes disappear or your guilt is assuaged. You will not outrun justice. You will not lobby history. You are a murderous maniac Benjamin Netanyahu. You will always be remembered as such.

🚨Press statement - Removal of ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan KC

NEW YORK: Today the Assembly of States Parties voted to remove Karim Khan KC from the office of Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. ⬇️

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

Why can no leading politician or media figure in the UK speak the plain truth about Netanyahu with the moral clarity of Mayor Mamdani?

Either they are immoral or they are cowards or they are both

[its only me @monsta_mani]

@gorba2211 @mehdirhasan Well if you watched his speech you’d actually hear him say putin too. As for the other 2 they have no ICC arrest warrants so maybe do a little research before you start with peak performative gaslighting 🙄

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

This level of violence against Muslims is completely unacceptable.
Where are the strong condemnations, the emergency meetings, the taskforces to tackle it?

One mosque attacked every 5 days, says Muslim Trust

@fesshole Maybe you’re wrong and she doesn’t give Edam 😜

[its only me @monsta_mani]

@FranceskAlbs But but but the ICC was created for African dictators not western presidents.
The genocide in Gaza and the continuous land grabs and killings in west bank and Lebanon just demonstrate the double standards of these so called leaders that feel they are above the law.

[its only me @monsta_mani]

@piersmorgan Yes let’s use the daily fail article to target Ms Jamil but fail to remember the owner was a hitler loving supporter. But that’s ok then 🙄

Meet Andrew Gilligan.

Andy Burnham appoints a Muslim man.

Gilligan's verdict, in the Spectator: keep him away from power.

He has written that sentence before.

Ifhat Smith. A mother.
Her son was questioned at school under Prevent over one word in a French class.

Prevent has referred nearly 3,000 children under 10.
One four-year-old was flagged for saying "cucumber."

She spoke up. Gilligan linked her to extremism.
The Telegraph apologised. Paid her damages.

April 2026. Smith reposted a fundraiser for IDF equipment, held at a North London synagogue.
Gilligan used it to attack her again.
Not to ask why a synagogue was fundraising for a foreign army.

Haras Ahmed. One honest interview.
Gilligan called him an "Islamist activist."
The Telegraph called its own claims "completely baseless." £20,000 in damages.

Mohammed Kozbar. Chairman of Finsbury Park Mosque. Worked with police against radicalisation.
Gilligan called him extremist-linked.
The Telegraph apologised.

Three Muslims. Three apologies. One byline.

2014. His reporting helped drive the "Trojan Horse" panic in Birmingham schools.
Every review found no plot. The New York Times confirmed it fabricated.
Teachers had already lost their careers.

2003. He told the BBC the Iraq dossier was "sexed up."
2004. Hutton ruled it unfounded. His source was named, then found dead. He resigned.

That dossier took Britain to war.
Iraqi deaths: 150,000 to over a million.

2010. A film: "Britain's Islamic Republic."
Four years calling Tower Hamlets' elected mayor "extremist-linked."
2015. A court found "not a shred of credible evidence."

Today: Senior Fellow, Policy Exchange.
The same Policy Exchange that faked mosque evidence in 2007. Forced to apologise.

Founding chairman: Michael Gove, who now edits the Spectator, Gilligan's magazine.
The same magazine employs Douglas Murray.
His words: "conditions for Muslims in Europe must be made harder across the board."

Centre for Media Monitoring, this month: 3,733 Spectator articles on Muslims.
Fewer than 12% free of bias.

Twenty years obsessed with anyone tied to Muslims.
Never once the IDF. Never the 2,000+ UK nationals who served in it.

He still writes for the Telegraph, now owned by Axel Springer.
Its corporate principles bind it to defend Israel's right to exist.
Its CEO told staff who disagreed to find another job.

He built his name on a dossier the establishment called unfounded.
Not one apology has ever come from him. Only from the papers that printed him.

Now he has chosen his next target.
His name is Ali Milani.
This time, we were already watching.

[Defend our Lawyers @DefendourLawyer]

A petition in support of Rajiv Menon KC launched by @DefendOurJuries and Netpol has now exceeded 11,000 signatures. The details are below

[Tayab Ali @tayab_ali_]

🚨 An urgent message to the States Parties of the Rome Statute ahead of the vote on 24 July from the Prosecutor’s legal team.

We act for Karim A. A. Khan KC, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.

On Friday, at a Special Session of the Assembly of States Parties, your delegations will vote in person and by secret ballot on whether the Prosecutor should be removed from office under Article 46 of the Rome Statute, in respect of allegations he has consistently denied.

Before that vote is cast, you are entitled to know how this process has been conducted.

The President of the Assembly has closed every formal channel through which Mr Khan’s legal team might make representations to you and has written to all States Parties suggesting that you should not meet with us.

Mr Khan KC and his legal representatives were refused accreditation to attend the session on 24 July. The right under the rules to address you on the substantive decision of misconduct has been flatly denied to us.

Consider what that means.

You are the decision-makers. You alone will determine whether the Prosecutor is removed. Yet the man whose removal you are considering has been told that his representatives may not address you, may not answer before you the case put against him, and may not correct errors, of which there are many, in the material placed in front of you. We know of no court or tribunal in any proper and fair legal system that bars a person facing the gravest professional sanction from being heard.

So we write openly, though restricted by confidentiality obligations, because no other route has been left to us.

These are the facts. 🧵👇

This is insane. Twitter suspended the account of the British consulate in Jerusalem for this tweet! WTF

[Reza Nasri @RezaNasri1]

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.

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

A British surgeon who treated dying and injured children in Gaza says his evidence of war crimes was ignored by Keir Starmer.

Professor Nick Maynard talks to us about his experiences, including how he had to watch babies starve to death after Israel’s deliberate blockade of food, and how Starmer skipped meetings with him and other doctors who had worked in Gaza amid the ongoing genocide.

The UN also released two reports last month confirming a genocide and the IDF’s targeting of children, yet the UK government still remains an ally of Israel and refuses to use the term ‘genocide’ for the years long assault on Palestine.

Professor Maynard also shares his experiences in a new film, Life Support. Find a screening here:
