If you ever need a reminder why you shouldn't join the U.S. military here it is. The U.S. needs to be regularly condemned by the international community for their failure to address mental crises and simply provide healthcare like the most sanctioned countries in the world can.

I fucking hate that I'm almost positive this fuck is going to have a bigger gofundme in a week than most Palestinians trying to escape Gaza could ever hope for. And I hate that it's one of my first thoughts, too.

Google “project for a new American century”. You’re welcome.

How's the whole world just totally ok with Israel constantly releasing new 'confession' videos of tortured abductees? For 8 fuckin' months!
And why does no one care about thousands of Palestinians that are being brutally tortured every day for no reason other than Zion*zi sadism?

the idf & mossad worked with the US State Dept. to train paratroopers for US backed dictator Mobutu's Armée Nationale Congolaise death squad in the Congo

Israel's Strategy in Africa, 1961-67, Prof. Zach Levey:

i will no longer be accepting critiques about our encampment unless you provide me with hard proof that you have won any material change for any movement in your life 🫶

“What’s happening in Rafah is the slow onset of an all-out operation — with civilians still being killed under the cover of precision strikes”

'humanitarian organizations on the ground say the administration is simply refusing to acknowledge what it doesn’t want to see.'

American Airlines hired a pedo and then their lawyers victim-blamed a child for not noticing a camera in the bathroom. What the fuck?

Periodic reminder that local news matters. RFT was one of the only publications still reporting on Darren Seals' murder, and found that the FBI had generated over 900 pages surveilling him.

This is where the humanitarian aid is going from the #GazaDeathPort : to abundantly & lavishly feed israeli invading troops while Palestinians starve

private security guards working for the private firm Apex accosted & assaulted protesters at UCLA on May 1, witnesses told Connor Sheets. Apex's parent corporation, a Northridge-based security giant, did not respond to requests for comment latimes.com/california/sto…

The electricity and internet have been completely cut off at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip.

So, beware of lazy reporting or outright attempts to obfuscate how the basics of the #ICC & international law works.

Most of these are intended to defend a violent & racist status quo in which accountability + peace are only presented as feasible if they are profitable.

Now, if Israel does want to challenge the admissibility of the Court, it may do so (via Article 17 of the Rome Statute).

To do so, it has to accept the authority of the Court & investigate/prosecute Netanyahu and Gallant for their crimes.

The Economist says a successor gov't in 🇮🇱 'would probably appoint a judge-led commission of inquiry into the war.'

That's (thankfully) not how the law works. The ICC investigates individuals & expects states to hold their own to account. If they won't, the ICC can & should act.

In a terrible take that makes numerous easily avoidable mistakes, The Economist says: 'the ICC should prosecute only when states are 'unwilling or unable to do so genuinely'. Israel is a democracy with an independent judiciary.'

This is legally & factually incorrect. Short 🧵👇

Take a moment to fully appreciate the combination of racism, ignorance and arrogance that went into leveling this threat against 147 sovereign nations around the world from a guy representing a tiny sliver of a single state.

The words 'unwilling or unable' appear in an exception to this rule.

The case remains admissible, even when it is being investigated or prosecuted, when the State is unwilling or unable do so genuinely.

PALESTINE ONLINE 🇵🇸 This is incredible. SEIU is usually pro Democrat no matter what the administration does, so this is a spectacular rebuke from rank and file members against their own union leadership who thought it was OK to invite war-mongering genocide apologist Kamala Harris and her boy Biden
