“The dual charges underscore a fundamental principle of international humanitarian law: war crimes by one side never justify war crimes by another.”
When Republicans express outrage at the International Criminal Court's charges against Netanyahu and Gallant, they forget that the rule of law does not apply only to one’s adversaries. Selective support for the rule of law is imperialism, not law. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

The Trump presidency is an unmitigated, authoritarian shitshow — a descent into American fascism that directly echoes the terrifying collapse of democracy in 1930s Europe. Driven by a deranged madman's non-stop serial lying and his all-out war on truth, it is a relentless, calculated assault on the Constitution and the rule of law.
While the regime is actively executing the fascist playbook to a tee, the real horror will take place when Trump loses the midterm elections and orders Attorney General Todd Blanche to subvert the will of the people.

MAGA says Ilhan Omar isn't using her real name.
Melania Trump was born Melanija Knavs.
Ted Cruz was born Rafael Edward Cruz.
JD Vance was born James Donald Bowman.
Nikki Haley was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa.
Mike Johnson's real first name is James.
Rand Paul is Randal Paul.
Newt Gingrich was born Newton Leroy McPherson.
But suddenly MAGA wants a congressional investigation into names?

If Palestinians took their children to the motorways and roads to block aid trucks and food to reach Israelis, Palestinians would be painted as far worse than the Nazis by every mainstream media outlet and politician.
Haven’t seen a single story about this today. Not one.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history.
Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.
Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is.

Israel has different colored license plates for Israelis and Palestinians.
This makes it easier for Israeli terrorists to identify Palestinian cars and attack.
And cars with Palestinian plates cannot access all of the roads; Israelis can.
But it's not apartheid, guys.

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank.
The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

It should be illegal for Israel’s top arms producer to purchase a Canadian company.
Elbit Systems is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians.
Cancel the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement, enact sanctions and a two-way arms embargo now.

Jason Alexander says he feared visiting Palestine as a Jew until 10 Palestinians protected him during an Israeli army raid in Ramallah
“How much of a risk would I be taking as an American Jew walking into Palestinian cities? And Mohammed said, ‘The greatest dishonor that could happen to a religious Muslim is to allow harm to come to an invited guest’”
“And he said, ‘Jason, if they had to, they’ll take a bullet for you.’ And what was so interesting about that trip is, we were having lunch in Ramallah with a bunch of actors and artists at a sort of outdoor restaurant”
“And the Israeli army was conducting a raid on a bank that they thought had terrorist ties a couple blocks away. And they must have, to announce themselves, just shot into the air. And I remember 10 of those guys at the table surrounding me. And I went, ‘Oh my God, he wasn’t kidding. They’re not going to let me get hurt’”
