It's sad that these Reps, who know that Israel has committed war crimes & #IHL violations, help pass a bill, that shows they don't care about HR, but seek revenge against the ICC.
"42 HSE Dems Help GOP Pass Bill Targeting ICC Officials Over investigating Netanyahu for War crimes.
These same HSE Dems want Trump prosecuted for his wrongdoing but protect Netanyahu. They're like #MAGA Reps defending #TFG for political gain."

Many MOC receive AIPAC money for their campaigns, but for these lawmakers to actually target the ICC, is beyond the pale.
The ICC is an intergovernmental org. & INTL tribunal seated in The Hague, NL. It's the first & only permanent INTL court with jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the INTL crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes & the crime of aggression.
Israel's disastrous, inhumane, & barbaric response to #Oct7 has led to an unfathomable amount of deaths, injuries, democide... to Palestinians trying to stay alive in Gaza. The ICC's decisions have been correct.
Amount of Israeli bombs dropped on Gaza surpasses that of WWII -Israel dropped 70,000 tons of bombs on Gaza Strip since last Oct, exceeding WWII bombings in Dresden, Hamburg, London combined.
At the time of the #brexit referendum I warned many people the real reason was not to leave the EU but to leave the European Convention of Human rights and with it the Court which protects them. Now the Tories and Hitler Farage are promising just that. Expect mass harassment and rounding up of opponents plus those they seem morally wrong if they ever get anywhere near power. #echr#humanrights#election#uk
These are the same people who still celebrate the slave traders.
Still lots of work from everyone, to help get full #HumanRights for all. LGBTQ2S are still under many threats. If you're an ally - especially one who isn't #marginalized & have privileges most of us vulnerable populations don't - please use your privilege to speak out more, stand up stronger & fight for full human rights.
Thank you. I post this in tribute to my queer cousin, who came out at age 50 ❤️❤️❤️
Child Faiz Abu Ataya passed away this morning at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza due to malnutrition and lack of treatment caused by Israel's closure of the Rafah crossing. #GazaCrisis#HumanRights#EndTheBlockade
In her intervention, Phyllis Bennis highlights the ongoing #Nakba faced by the #Palestinian people since 1948, juxtaposing it with the global advances in #HumanRights during the same period. She underscores the role of #SettlerColonialism & the complicit support of some states in perpetuating the crisis, particularly in #Gaza. Bennis calls for an immediate #ceasefire, emphasizing the deliberate nature of #EthnicCleansing & the dire #humanitarian situation
If you haven't heard her speech at the UN - I highly recommend taking a few minutes to watch & listen. It's a very astute & outstanding verbal intervention presentation.
They need to stop these videos from being "edited to remove the most gruesome scenes." The pro Hamas leftists in the US need to see what they're supporting, and own it.
#HumanRights groups are urging US President Joe Biden’s administration to oppose threats against the International Criminal Court (ICC) after its chief prosecutor’s decision to seek arrest warrants against Israeli officials drew ire in #Washington.
In a letter to #Biden that was made public on Thursday, more than 100 organisations from around the world called on the US government to “oppose any legislative efforts to undermine the #ICC”.
