The Israeli army justifies the bombing and burning of the displaced in an UNRWA displacement camp in #Rafah, claiming that it is “a #Hamas compound”.
The #UNRWA displaced camp, which was designated as a safe area to which thousands of civilians were pushed, was targeted with 8 bombs, killing at least 35, most of whom are women and children.
"We’ve started a tracker to keep tabs on the #Kosher, #Jewish, and #Israeli-owned r#estaurants (kosher and not kosher) that have been attacked or vandalized since October 7th, 2023.
Surely, #antisemitism existed before the #Hamas attacks, and many of these types of businesses have been attacked prior, but we’ve seen a ramping up of these targeted attacks since October."
To all the bad opinions regarding #gaza aid trucks from people who have never driven a truck:
Go to #Palestine and drive a truck through a #war zone, then report back.
The problem is finding #truck#drivers willing to risk their lives as the trucks are attacked by mobs of civilians standing around in a live fire war zone.
I’m just gonna say it — this “Genocide Joe” thing is the dumbest fucking liberal shit I have seen in years.
Joe Biden can do more to try to rein in Israel, but Biden doesn’t run Israel. He isn’t CIC for IDF. He isn’t deciding what hospital to bomb. He isn’t deciding what border crossings to close.
You know who is pushing the Genocide Joe narrative? The fucking Russians and the Israelis. Why is that? Well, it’s an election year, and Trump is a hard right, pro-Israel puppet.
I see it as part of a broader pattern of certain countries harboring a reservoir of latent antisemitism: Australia, Zealand, Canada, Ireland, Scotland.
Notice the pattern? These are all countries that were historically part of the British Empire. They explicitly cast Israel in the role of Britain and the Palestinians as themselves, and that's how they justify everything.
The ICJ rulings last week as to Israel also included rulings as to Hamas; including a cease fire order and an order that Hamas release all Israeli hostages. The US through Anthony #Blinken said that Israel can ignore the ICJ rulings directed to it. I assume Blinken is also directing Hamas to ignore the rulings against it, to keep fighting, and to continue holding the Israeli hostages.
The International Criminal Court announced that it is filing arrest warrants for colonial prime minister Benjamin #Netanyahu and colonial war minister Yoav #Gallant, on the grounds that they have committed war crimes in their aggression on #Gaza. The charges leveled against them include intentional starvation, extermination, and persecution.
The Court is also issuing arrest warrants for the leader of Hamas in Gaza Yahya Sinwar, Commander-in-Chief Mohammed Deif, and head of #Hamas political bureau Ismail #Haniyeh.
Mehdi Hasan and Zeteo on the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas.
Interviews with Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Territories and Luis Moreno Ocampo, former ICC Chief Prosecutor.
Worth 18 minutes of your time.
The charges against #Netanyahu and #Hamas should not be equitable—- one side committed unspeakable acts of violence for one day in October, the others have done so 8 straight months.

From Laura K: "When asked about the possibility of a ceasefire, President Biden said he is “powerless to do anything about this.” The people who control the barely sentient husk that is the US president are currently formulating a more thorough response. The Hague has been advised to urgently get an iron dome just in case AIPAC gets carried away."
@Soretski #Israel could always surrender & return its 9,000 hostages + adhere to those 100+ UN Resolutions it holds in contempt.
You can't have it both ways. You can't pledge to kill every member of #Hamas, their families, destroy homes, hospitals & infrastructure of 2 million, promise to drive those left into a desert, then expect Hamas to lay down their arms. There have been offers of ceasefire acceptable to the international community - which Israel rejects as it continues its #genocide.
