We Volunteered at a Gaza Hospital. What We Saw Was Unspeakable.
The constant begging for money, the malnourished population, the open sewage — all of that was familiar to us as veteran war zone doctors. But add in the incredible population density, the overwhelming numbers of badly maimed children and amputees, the constant hum of drones, the smell of explosives and gunpowder — not to mention the constant earth-shaking explosions — and it’s no wonder UNICEF has declared the Gaza Strip as “the world’s most dangerous place to be a child.”

I've tried to be restrained with this analogy but this is absolutely Nazi thinking:



For me there is absolutely no question now that the top leadership and individual military units need to be tried and shot, and the population re-educated. Nothing like that will happen of course.

Ah Giora Eiland. The man who in 2004(!) suggested in a leaked diplomatic cable that Gaza was a huge concentration camp. Not as a condemnation in any way. Lovely guy.
 
I had the misfortune today of coming across Israel's Twitter page in Arabic. The messaging in their propaganda is a bit different from their other channels but the fabrication of unbelievable lies is still the same.
 
Hopefully Israeli athletes will be booed during the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

Also, what word can be best to use Israel at this point? What is the worst of the worst?
 
Why aren't they arresting Netanyahu...I thought about America were all about democracy and the rule of law?

How often has someone who hasn't been defeated actually managed to get hauled up to the ICC?

You're referring to a system that basically targets the lowest possible 'win'.

Actors who don't have international support, which won't disturb the status quo, and who doesn't have vested interests in another major players state management.

It's incredibly difficult to actually arrest someone on ICC charges.
 
For the sake of clarification, there is no obligation yet to actually arrest Netanyahu. The ICC's prosecution team applied for arrest warrants and a panel of ICC judges will review it.

The US, the UK and Germany are working very hard to prevent the warrants to be issued. At least not before Netanyahu adresses the US Congress.

The ICC review should've been completed and arrest warrants should've been issued (or not) a long time ago. It doesn't matter anyway since the US is not a member of the ICC and therefore has no obligation to arrest that horrible excuse of a human being.

It will still look very nice on the West's and especially the US' CV tough and will be thrown at their face everytime they'll have the gall to open their mouth about human rights and pretend to have the moral high ground.

Did anyone actually ever believe this?
