#US / American Immigration Authorities to Israelis: Have You Committed War Crimes?

Requests by Israelis for a "Green Card" are being delayed due to an in-depth investigation into their military service: "The interviewer was very curious about my weapon skills and wanted to know details about my reserve duty in Gaza", "I travel to the US so often, I've never experienced such bullying", "It feels like they copied questions from the office of the Chief Prosecutor in The Hague"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

These probing and questions seem to be aimed at investigating whether the person being questioned may have been involved in any war crimes or unethical uses of force during their military service. The tone and framing suggests the immigration authorities have serious concerns they are trying to scrutinize very carefully.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

For example:

Have you ever actually used weapons or explosives? If so: What kinds of weapons or explosives did you use? How did you use the weapons or explosives? In how many cases did you use weapons or explosives? How frequently did you use weapons or explosives?; Did you ever discharge a weapon and/or explosive against another person? If so, please detail the circumstances for doing so, and explain why you discharged a weapon and/or explosive against another person/other people.

Note: take with a grain of salt, given the source's tendency toward sensationalism and accusations of discrimination/antisemitism, even when the scrutiny may be reasonably warranted given the serious nature of potential war crimes, or a routine. The article is not based on any meaningful research work, and seems to be a collection of anecdotal first hand reports (with the obligatory “product placement” of a specific legal service provider.)

Quds News: Palestinian teacher Sabreen Masarwi, from the 1948-occupied territory, was suspended from teaching after she attended a Nakba Day march.

Despite her suspension, her Israeli students organized a protest against her at school. In the video they can be seen chanting again and again "May your village burn". @israel @palestine

As Civil Defense teams continue to unearth hundreds of bodies from the mass graves discovered at Nasser Hospital, Palestinians are flocking to the medical complex in search of their missing loved ones.

Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.
