(La Haye) Israël a demandé à la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) de retirer ses mandats d’arrêt visant le génocidaire Netanyahu et son complice Gallant https://www.lapresse.ca/international/moyen-orient/2025-05-12/cour-penale-internationale/israel-demande-le-retrait-du-mandat-d-arret-contre-netanyahou.php
Pourquoi pas un "bravo" et un "Mars", bande d'ordures criminelles ?

BREAKING: The #EU former top diplomat, #JosepBorrell, has accused Israel of perpetrating genocide in Palestine, & “carrying out the largest #ethniccleansing operation since the end of the second world war."
If #Western governments had any sense they would realise this fact, work to re-establish the rule of #law, & try to establish the #moral basis for #mutual respect & #cooperation with the rest of the world.
In the 21st century, the West will find itself isolated from the world majority, and the world will move on without them.
If you think people will be willing to tolerate this going forward, you are mistaken. As Southern states begin to develop the capacity to reject #Western hegemony, they will not hesitate to do so.
#Western governments have made it clear that they do not care about #humanrights & the rule of law when it comes to people of colour, the global majority. They spit on #humanity. 500 years on from the beginning of the #European #colonial project & they have hardly changed in this regard.
What do you think people in the #South are supposed to conclude from this? What would *you* conclude from this in their position? Decades of #Western #propaganda have been shattered, this time in full technicolour.
... in the most spectacular displays of hypocrisy in order to prop up their #military proxy-state as it openly conducts genocide & ethnic cleansing against an occupied people, even in the face of *overwhelming* #international condemnation.
Palestine is the rock on which the #West will break itself.
Put yourself in the shoes of people in the #globalSouth. For nearly 2 years they have watched how #Western leaders, who love to talk about #humanrights & the rule of #law, are happy to shred all these values ...
Ich unterstütze die Erklärung des Parteivorstands von #DieLinke zum antisemitischen Post von #UlrikeEifler
Dies und die gestrige Ablehnung der IHRA-Definition von #Antisemitismus zeigt das wir ein antisemitismusproblem haben, das es in Zukunft zu lösen gilt.
Wer den Staat #Israel als ganzes in Frage stellt ist ein Antisemit.
Die Kritik am Militäreinsatz und der fehlenden zivilen Hilfe in #Gaza teile ich durchaus für mich gilt aber nach wie for #freegaza und #FreeGazaFromHamas gehören zusammen.

Some good news out of Norway as their largest trade union votes to boycott Israel and demands sanctions against the genocide of Palestinians.
As #Israel inflicts mass #starvation on #Gaza & now openly plans to carry out #ethniccleansing, the editorial board of the Financial Times has issued a statement saying that the #US & #Europe “should be ashamed of their silence” & must act to stop #IsraeliCrimes.
#Breaking UW has now reportedly suspended some or all of the 30 students arrested for holding a protest against the genocide in Gaza.
The protest was led by Palestinian students who decreed the schools connection to the weapons makers whose equipment has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
The UW administration labeled the anti genocide protesters "anti semitic", had them arrested, suspended and charged with crimes.
#Famine Haunts the People of Gaza. #Israel Is Trying to Convince You It’s Fake.
Israeli extremist officials deny the existence of famine in Gaza as they push for harsher measures to block food.

Students posted videos today of cops violently arresting protesters outside of the Boeing funded engineering building.
The students point out that UW developed these partnerships with Boeing during the Vietnam War. We saw how Boeing products killed an maimed in Vietnam and they want to stop that same pipeline today.
A similar protest in the Vietnam era by local Black Panthers was successful in achieving change. Now UW calls the cops instead of negotiate.
