"You should help us and let us take care of you. You don't want to be getting into things that could compromise your security or that of your family," the Mossad chief is reported to have told Bensouda.
Why just why is Israel so freaking above all international laws and impune?
Any other country in the world had done even a fraction of the crimes Israel have omitted just in the past 6 months (not to mention any of the crimes before that) would have been treated like a pariah state, sanctioned and boycotted to total collapse.
But something is making Israel untouchable. Is it the Holocaust guilt? Is it blackmail? Is if money?
I have been asking those questions all my adult life, starting from the invasion of Lebanon and the Sabra and Chatila massacre that went unpunished even today.
Hugh Grant has been priced out of his ‘phone hacking’ lawsuit against The Sun, after learning it would cost him more money to win than it would cost Rupert Murdoch.
Israel has completely ignored the demand and not shown even a hint of complying with the UN demand.
The silence of world leaders and their inability to hold Israel accountable is once again proving that their talks about rule of law and human rights are anything but empty talks.
Loblaw executive, Rachel Huckle, has been named the new CEO of Staples Canada. Prior to her appointment, Ms. Huckle held the role of Senior Vice President of Shoppers Drug Mart for seven years.
Israel Held 82-year-old Gaza Woman With Alzheimer's for Two Months as an 'Unlawful Combatant'
Israeli soldiers arrested Fahamiya Khalidi in early December at a school in Gaza after she fled her home due to IDF shelling. She was moved to Damon prison, where she was refused a meeting with an attorney and was only freed after an appeal.
The Israel Defense Forces and the Israel Prison Authority arrested and imprisoned for almost two months an 82-year-old Gaza woman who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. She was jailed under the Incarceration of Unlawful Combatants Law. Because she was considered an unlawful combatant, Damon Prison in Israel's north also refused a request by a lawyer from the Israeli organization Physicians for Human Rights to meet with her.
She was released 2 weeks ago after HR groups filed complaints on her behalf.

Mokhiber said he had not been made aware of the review.
He said: “Israel lobby groups regularly harass and complain about UN officials who speak out on Israeli violations, but the UN is used to this tactic, so I would be surprised if any such ‘complaint’ went anywhere.

After the death of the Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was almost certainly fatally shot by an Israeli sniper, Mokhiber posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Israel was “whitewashing the cold blooded murder of its own citizen”.
The post continued: “No accountability. Just an official cover-up. A pattern of supporting #impunity that goes back 75 years and includes covering up war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, apartheid & state terrorism.”
Israel—with Biden’s full support—is waging a war of revenge with no regard for the lives of civilians.
Hamas, once again, has failed to recognize that killing civilians is not just morally reprehensible but politically counter-productive. They aren’t like Israel and Saudi Arabia, which can #kill thousands of #civilians with #impunity and still receive massive military and diplomatic support from the United States.
The trustee overseeing the bankruptcy of Ontario's self-proclaimed "Crypto King" wants a judge to deny Aiden Pleterski a discharge from bankruptcy until he pays back more than $4.5 million in assets and funds the trustee says Pleterski hasn't accounted for.
Where the hell are the "international observers" who were queuing to visit the "mass graves" in Ukraine? Where is EU? Where are US state department? Where is UN?
What does it take for the world to (at least) investigate these allegations?
Nothing less than a solid prison term will do for Trump. Now o'clock is the time when the GOP and rightwing media will start trying to convince the world that felonies are the coolest and Trump didn't really do anything wrong and we need to overturn all laws that could get a rich man jammed up. #prison#trump#accountability#impunity
