"... there are reasonable grounds to believe that Israel is committing the international ‘crime of all crimes’: that of genocide."
"... while our government has called for a ceasefire, they refuse to name Israel’s crimes or take the material action many have called for under international law, including implementing sanctions and throwing our weight behind a global arms embargo. As Palestinian human rights lawyer Rabea Eghbariah asked in a 2023 essay commissioned but then censured by Harvard Law Review, “does one have to wait for a genocide to be successfully completed to name it?” "
I tell you what, keep on believing the Israel propaganda and argue in their purpose, then you're more antisemite than anyone else, because the reaction of the genocide is antisemitism among people who never can separate between Israel's actions and Jews -- and the moral behavior of Israeli's seems never being able to get worse, they reached the very bottom.
I'm definitely concerned about the state of democracy, plus all of the other issues shown in your cartoon.
I think the war against Palestine is interconnected with them, and Biden is too.
He has already earned the name of "Genocide Joe" for the unconditional support he has given the Israeli onslaught against Gaza.
And now he and his team are trying to tell people not to look at the train wreck on Thursday night. I'm not saying this because I don't like Biden, it's just a fact. If he doesn't allow someone else to be the nominee, it's very likely Trump will win.

@appassionato Looks like firefighting foam. It's perhaps toxic with long term or continuous exposure... I mean they aren't gonna use CS Tear Gas on these people. It's poisonous to the nervous system... or pepper spray. It hurts. FireHosing, a la the southern US during the civil rights movement, can cause physical damage. They're saving all that for #Palestinians. @photography@palestine

Nutanyahu wants another war the people don't. The court sides with Nutanyahu. Guess how his criminal trial will go?
Complicity in genocide is not confined to the Israeli right. Members of the liberal organization that spearheaded the anti-Netanyahu protests last year are now blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza.
"transitive. To exert influence upon, to affect by influence." (OED)
The term "influenced" means having an effect on the character, development, or behaviour of someone or something. When used in a context where it doesn't refer to being a singular cause, it implies that the effect is part of a broader set of factors contributing to an outcome.
[1/4] WARNING: Many are unaware of the magnitude of the disaster. The Israeli army has now released a statement identifying areas that need to be evacuated. The "Red" area is extensive and home to hundreds of thousands who returned to their homes with the start of the Rafah invasion. However, what is concealed in this map are areas where Israeli tanks are present: the southern area of Rafah, part of Al-Mawasi, and the northern area near Netzarim.
[1/3] This means that a large part of the so-called "humanitarian" zone is adjacent to dangerous conflict zones due to the presence of Israeli tanks (the yellow misleading area).
The Israeli army is attempting to deceive the world by not providing complete information and not conveying the true reality. This map implies the use of displaced people as human shields to protect its soldiers and military equipment in the Rafah and Netzarim axis.
[3/3] The current situation is far more dangerous than the Rafah invasion due to the overcrowding of displaced people in a much smaller area compared to before the Rafah invasion.
On the night of March 2 Israel wiped out four generations of my family. I barely survived the slaughter. It is now my responsibility to tell their story.
You don't know shit about israel history , Gaza situation on the Last 40 years, even that israel gives money to Hamas, nor how war can/must be leaded.
But YOU know better than UN , ICC, and every expert.
And have absolutely zero humanity.
And enjoy children being killed.
@VoxClamans@plink@palestine@israel Except for propaganda purposes? Interesting.
Quoting the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide", the official document that defines genocide, Article II:
"In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
You piece of human crap. I'm not asking you to change your views, I'm asking you to stop presenting lies as facts.
We need an alternative approach to understanding Palestine that situates it within the wider region and the Middle East’s central place in our fossil fuel-centered world.
A brutal, nine-hour, multi-agency police assault against unarmed protesters at UC Santa Cruz shows the university would rather use violence against its own students than address demands to divest from genocide.
These are the same cops who pretty much ignore violent street takeovers and mass robberies. Why? To paraphrase the SFPD chief, the street takeovers are too dangerous to intervene at.
Cops prefer to beat the nonviolent and unarmed because it is just sport for them.
Reuters reported citing two US officials that the Biden administration has sent to Israel large numbers of munitions, including more than 10,000 highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs and thousands of Hellfire missiles, since the start of the genocide in Gaza.
According to the report, the US has sent at least 14,000 of the MK-84 2,000-pound bombs, 6,500 500-pound bombs, 3,000 Hellfire precision-guided air-to-ground missiles, 1,000 bunker-buster bombs, 2,600 air-dropped small-diameter bombs, and other munitions.
This is pure fascism, the real thing: the National Union of Israeli Students’ proposed bill whereby “Academic institutions will be obliged to immediately fire a lecturer, a teacher or researcher who expresses or acts in a manner that includes denial of the existence of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, incitement to racism, violence or terrorism and/or support for an armed struggle or an act of terrorism against Israel”
