How can anyone ever trust this country’s politicians? Most moral army in the world?! A democracy?! Well done to the ICC and Karim Khan for their bravery and tenacity.

Today will go down in the history of international law. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has applied for arrest warrants against Netanyahu & Gallant and Sinwar, Deif & Haniyeh. It's a game changer in global politics & the Israel-Palestine conflict.🧵 https://t.co/VYgFUI3zWs
Opinion: 'As international lawyers, we felt compelled to assist when the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, asked us to advise whether there was sufficient evidence to lay charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Today, the prosecutor has taken a historic step to ensure justice for the victims in Israel and Palestine.'

Read the full letter from 12 Senate Republicans, inc Cruz & Cotton & McConnell, to @KarimKhanQC, that we are posting on @zeteo_news, and read also the scathing response to it we got from Dem Sen. @VanHollenForMD:

Richard Dawkins’ claims against Islamic teachings on women and science are completely misguided. Islam explained expansion of the universe before humans had capacity to observe it. Islam established eternal and divine rights for women centuries before the era of western feminism.
It is telling however that despite his objections to God and religion based on his understanding of the Bible that he would ascribe himself as "culturally Christian", a statement that makes a mockery of the Christian faith.
While Richard Dawkins asserts that women suffer a low status in Islam, let us remind him that Hazrat Maryam or Mary, is a highly regarded figure in the Muslim faith. We are quite certain we respect Christianity as taught by Jesus more than Richard Dawkins ever will.
Alhamdollilah, unlike Richard Dawkins, Muslims do not need to 'choose' between Christianity and Islam. We fully recognise the importance of Jesus (peace be on him) as a Prophet of God and admire his teachings.
Prof Dawkins : “there is an active hostility towards women promoted by the Holy books of Islam”. Really? Like the Hadith ‘paradise lies at the feet of mothers” or Quranic verse ‘whoso does good works whether male or female and he or she is a believer, such shall enter heaven’
"If I had to choose between Christianity and Islam, I'd choose Christianity every single time."
Self-proclaimed 'cultural Christian', @RichardDawkins, tells @RachelSJohnson he's 'slightly horrified' to hear Ramadan lights were hung on Oxford Street rather than Easter lights.

Excellent interview with award winning journalist Gideon Levy - “the best question to ask any Israeli ‘what would you have done if you had been born Palestinian”.
