International Criminal Court Calls for Arrest of Leaders of Hamas and Israel dianeravitch.net/2024/05/21/int… via @dianeravitch

Worth remembering that Karim Khan is the International Criminal Court's most experienced chief prosecutor to date. My conversations with him suggest he is conservative in his approach, unlikely to bring charges that don't have strong evidence behind them. icc-cpi.int/news/statement…

This made my year!!!!! So proud! ❤️🤜

.Mayor Eric Adams plans to spend at least $2.9B for new Bronx jail -- but not single new school in borough to lower class size. Hearings on DOE “class size plan” start this Wed. May 22 via Zoom for the Bronx; Thurs. for Manhattan. Instructions & talking points: 3zn338.a2cdn1.secureserver.net/wp-content/upl…

“Adams defended the NYPD Monday against outrage from fellow Democrats,” @JoeAnuta reports. “Democrats who represent Bay Ridge and are typically measured in their criticism of the NYPD, described the officers’ actions as unnecessarily aggressive.”

Mayor Adams said today he was “really surprised” Councilman Brannan questioned the NYPD response to Saturday's Nakba Day protest in Bay Ridge.

But Brannan said there has never been this 'preemptively aggressive' of an NYPD response to the annual protest. nydailynews.com/2024/05/20/ada…

This is immoral and illegal.

Correction: @nycmayor planning to spend at least $2.9B for a new jail in the Bronx - not DOE- but not a penny so far for a single new school building in that borough.

The ICC prosecutor is right to issue arrest warrants for political leaders who engage in war crimes.

The global community must uphold international law.

Without these standards of decency & morality, the planet may rapidly descend into anarchy, never-ending wars, and barbarism.

There will undoubtedly be racist and islamophobic attacks against Karim Khan and Amal Clooney. So it bears mention that Theodor Meron, another expert who moved these requests forward (and a giant in the field of ICL), is an American-Israeli Holocaust survivor.
