If all #Palestinians are culpable for the actions of #Hamas because they voted for them 18 years ago, does that mean all Israelis are culpable for the actions of Benjamin #Netanyahu?
#Biden says there is no equivalence between the crimes committed by Israel and Hamas
I actually agree: in terms of the duration, causalities, impact on human conscience, and who’s been the provoking party, ISRAEL 🇮🇱 is definitely more than 10,000 times more guilty than Hamas
(Although he seems to be missing the point that the ICC’s jurisdiction - and the arrest warrants being sought now - is over individuals such as Netanyahu, rather than States such as 🇮🇱)
Oh man, imagine a trial for both of them, wouldn't that be more civilised than endless warfare?
Isn't that what a grown up planet would do?
Just apply the Law no matter which side it was applied to?
The International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, and Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Die-In For Life-In Gaza, 18th May 2024, Old Town in Warsaw, Poland
Organized by the collectives Wschód and Kefija, it was a die-in protest commemorating 76th anniversary of Nakba - the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians during the war in Palestine in 1948. Particularly significant in the context of the on-going genocide in Gaza.
I'm not Rafał Milach and I'll cut my usual irrelevant yadda-yadda to say this: if you know enough of history, either of your own country or theirs, it's very hard not to feel sympathy to those folks. Listening to their stories was incredibly heart-wrenching.
Essential, horrific and heart testimony from Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, a pediatric intensive care physician who works with Medecins Sans Frontières and co-founded @Gaza Medic Voices
“No matter where you look, no matter where you go, there’s destruction, there’s devastation, there’s loss. There’s a lack of everything. There’s pain. There’s just incredible suffering.”
“White nationalists and neo-Nazis joined forces with Zionists (including some saying they were Israelis) to attack #UCLA’s #Palestine Solidarity Encampment, whose residents included a large number of Jewish students. The assailants were not affiliated with the university. One neo-Nazi was heard shouting, ‘we’re here to finish what Hitler started,’ without any apparent protest from the self-identified Zionists.” #studentprotests#freepalestine https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/uclas-unholy-alliance/
