“Deal now! Deal now!” If Netanyahu torpedoes this, Biden should torpedo him. Enough. No more offensive weapons of any kind. Enough.

'Attempting to prosecute crimes might encourage the perpetrator to commit further crimes' is certainly a novel legal defense bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Biden....order must be restored. Are you out of your mind? The only question that needs attention now is whether YOU will regain your sanity and accept that international law and order is restored for YOU. Unbelievable schizophrenic logic. bbc.co.uk/news/live/worl…

There is no shutting this down. You cannot defeat pure clear and lucid moral reasoning. Biden and those defending the indefensible are going to bring the entire house down. Somebody please save the US from itself.

US lawfare naked and ugly. Jailed in the US for protesting genocide - kept out of ICC by the US for committing genocide. On the scales of justice one incomparably more world historical and illegal. Wtf is going on. All calibration of reason gone.

Imagine getting hot a bothered with some peaceful student protests but can't lift a finger to stop this....and cant even be arsed investigating properly. What has gone so badly wrong in the moral calculus of the US? aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/30…

'protests should be legal and peaceful?' Is Joe Biden for real? Thats exactly what the students are asking from you.... what you are doing on each is incalculably more catastrophic. What a bloody cheek. cnn.com/2024/04/30/pol…

The SNP have no doubt been hopeless and hapless but what this commentary ignores is that relative to Westminster it is still a well oiled high performing national parliament. There is no polity in the world at present more of a laughing stock than in London.

An extraordinarily generous offer? What an extraordinarily pernicious framing.....unless full access to ICC, full sovereign Palestinian statehood, disband of all illegal settlements. massive compensation for rebuild, release of all held.....even then framing as generous is awry.

meanwhile dispensing wisdom from the pulpit on the imperative of good governance....do as i say not as i do. The Hague need to take charge here....the most heinous banal evil is committing unspeakable atrocities daily. why is this being allowed to continue?

This is of course not surprising. But if the ICC bend a single sinew on this then it sets a dangerous precedent. You either are believed to have committed a war crime or not. Its witness intimidation for a bully to obstruct justice.

But this is only the start of it surely. Im afraid the world - including the majority in the West - are long past thinking about this as self defense. I's have Hamas up in the dock with Israeli leaders - but Israel is deluded if they think this can end without massive tribunals.

Per Derrida on hospitality - what is being assumed by these morons? They think its within their gift to extend hospitality or withdraw it as they please. Where does this assumed authority come from? Stunning to arrogate to yourself this entitlement.
