Eyes on The Hague. Israeli & US efforts to obstruct justice must not be allowed to succeed.
"Our vigilance and our attention and our demand for justice has to be louder than the pressure that those judges are receiving in the dark," says @CraigMokhiber
Journalist @DanaBashCNN's disbelief when confronted with facts about Israel’s policies raises a critical question: If you’re informing the public, Dana, shouldn’t you start by informing yourself? If not, you are just being a mouthpiece for the genocide in Gaza.
Sure thing. Agam Berger was a soldier in Unit 414, responsible for combat intelligence collection. She manned remote surveillance towers, including some equipped with remote controlled machine gun turrets. She was captured when her base, located adjacent to the Nahal Oz kibbutz,…
AOCIA nods along with Joy Reid’s McCarthyite, pro-war, pro-regime change case for opposing Tulsi Gabbard, then calls Tulsi “pro-war” without explaining why This is the poseur who boxed the Squad into supporting $100+ billion in military aid to Ukraine
So honored to say I’m now officially a contributing writer for @TheNation 🎉 From Gaza to the pages of a publication I’ve long admired, this journey has been humbling. Grateful to everyone who’s supported my voice along the way. Here’s to telling more stories that matter! ✍🏼
Other countries send diplomats to serve as UN Ambassadors. The US always sends AIPAC-approved Israel shills. And, this time, one who is also an abrasive, bigoted, far-right clown. A fitting pick to represent the rapid decline of the US on the world stage. cnn.com/2024/11/10/pol…
Why Trump and Biden are just two rooms in the same hell:
"There's plenty to fear, but to pretend that we've just gone from a paradise into hell is ignoring the fact that we've just gone from hell into another room in hell," says @CraigMokhiber of Donald Trump's US election win and what it means for Palestine.
This copy of Gaza Writes Back was with Refaat Alareer when he was assassinated.
Why is an Israeli soccer team in the European Football Associations Champions League? Israel is not in Europe. What is this weirdness? Should Bahrain be in the European League? What about El Salvador?
and Mike Huckabee has written openly about the need to engage in a "crusade"...
The new secretary of defence nominee (who served in Guantanamo, Iraq and Afghanistan) has the Crusaders' Jerusalem Cross on his chest, as well as Matthew 10:34 ('Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.’)
hey @threadreaderapp pls unroll!
5/ Israel seeks permission to hold sole discretion over life and death all over the Middle East. This is the only "grand" principle. The actual annihilation, the business of death, is already anything but grand. Israel has an infinity of "targets", all "validated". --->
Update: the bill failed because they were using a parliamentary procedure that required a 2/3 majority. It will certainly come back when the GOP trifecta is in place. In the meantime, here are the 52 Dems who voted to give the next Trump admin an authoritarian housewarming gift.
This clarifies that Bliden/Blinken/Sullivan/McGurk didn't support mass starvation of Palestinian civilians out of political necessity. Election is over & Biden has no political future. They did this because this is their preferred policy. They are the architects of these war…
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱Secretary of State Blinken has decided that there will be no change for now to military assistance to Israel following the deadline the U.S. gave Israel regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza and that expires today, two U.S. officials said. The officials said Israel…
Shocked, shocked!!
Also, Elon Musk...
Professor Lisa Hajjar's suggestion to President Trump is a case in point !
Today, in a landmark verdict, a jury found government contractor CACI liable for the torture of Iraqi men at Abu Ghraib in 2003-04 and ordered it to pay each of the three plaintiffs $3 million in compensatory damages and $11 million in punitive damages. ccrjustice.org/home/press-cen…
This outcome was literally more predictable than the sun rising in the east this morning. #Israel's impunity is simply not going to be touched by #GenocideJoe and his thug henchman Blinken. There is nothing, NOTHING Israel can do that will bring a response from these monsters.

Thank you to my 🇺🇸 publisher, @helenacobban Good timing for the US audience. A view of the long-game ✊🏽
"Women Surviving Apartheid’s Prisons" by @ShantzN discusses how women from different oppressed communities in South Africa defied traditional #gender expectations and played a key role in the overthrow of #Apartheid. Get the book 📖 🇿🇦 bookshop.org/p/books/women-… #liberation…
Tomorrow the house votes on whether the government can, without due process, label a non-profit "terrorist supporting" and remove its tax exempt status. This would be used to destroy so many leftist organizations, I can't even begin to contemplate the extent of it.
