Deceptichum , in White House says Israel’s latest actions in Rafah do not cross US red line
@Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works avatar

Bidens red line doesn’t exist, he’s fully backing Israel’s genocide.

Sanctus , in US and UK to back Israel over ICJ ruling after blurring their Rafah red lines
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Please fucken tell me Biden is not throwing away his own chances to back a fucking genocide. You are sacrificing your own people at home so some dudes across the world can murder and take more land. Democracy is gonna fucken die in America because Biden is going to blunder his entire reputation siding with a fucken monster.

CosmicCleric , in Russian forces push deeper into northern Ukraine

Wish the major News networks would cover this more, instead of just Trump court cases 24/7.

bartolomeo , in EXCLUSIVE: “You Have Been Warned”: Republican Senators Threaten the ICC Prosecutor over Possible Israel Arrest Warrants

I'm not the most well read person around but why was there a letter disclosed exclusively to some obscure news agency? Or is it a well known agency that I've just never heard of?

Zeteo is new, created by Mehdi Hasan who was fired from CNBC MSNBC because of his critical coverage of Israel.

Mrkawfee , in EXCLUSIVE: “You Have Been Warned”: Republican Senators Threaten the ICC Prosecutor over Possible Israel Arrest Warrants

I was today years old when I discovered the US is Russia with better PR.

But they really want the ICC to have Putin, huh

Maybe they don't, I don't know. Republicans are kind of unpredictable on that.

I'm not even saying the ICC should judge the case in any particular way, just that a court should be able to go through the process they need in order to make a judgement.

@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

US didn't "endorse" the ICC arrest warrant of Putin exactly for the same reason. They are not part of ICC, since half of their intelligence members and past presidents could be charged there for war crimes.

@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

I know the US as a nation didn't, but there were a lot of sentiments from individuals. That said my comment was of course intended to be a bit light hearted and humorous in nature.

Does ICC charge dead?

BrikoX ,
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

No. Like any court, they only deal with people physically in front of them.

uis ,
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

Oh. I thought past presidents that could be charged with warcrimes implied long dead.

And side question: is it worth keeping those fossils alive to bring to ICC? The Old Rat is 71 and does not become younger.

BrikoX ,
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

What I meant was that if they were signatories to the Rome Statute at the time, actions they committed would quality for war crime charges.

As far as if it's worth it? I would say yes. It would legitimize US in the global community. Right now everyone knows US is the biggest hypocrite on the world stage.

RestrictedAccount , in Israelis rally to demand ceasefire and Netanyahu's resignation

Look at all those anti-semites. /s

BombOmOm , in Hamas and Iran celebrate anti-Gaza war protests taking US colleges by storm

Hamas and Iran attack Israel and its people and westerners cry foul at Israel when they attack back. Hamas and Iran couldn't ask for better support.

WarlockLawyer ,

You do realize the last incident was Iran responding to Israel illegally bombing their embassy and killing people?

DdCno1 ,

They didn't bomb the Iranian embassy. Consider reading into where the bomb fell and who was killed.

BrikoX ,
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

You are either misinformed or pretending to be an idiot. Anything within the embassy grounds is sovereign territory, not just a single building. And all territory the complex takes up is called an embassy (in rare cases, consulates can extend to more than one building too).

ModernRisk ,
@ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I think, you need to read a lot of history as to why Hamas exists and why they attacked Israel.

Your comment is full of ignorance or perhaps you are just an Israel-supporter that leaves out the entire history.

Rapidcreek OP , in Hamas and Iran celebrate anti-Gaza war protests taking US colleges by storm

Hey kids, they called you "the Leaders of Tommorow"

FlyingSquid Mod ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I'm pretty sure they are the leaders of tomorrow what with their generation inevitably taking over leadership when the old guard dies. So... Iran and Hamas made a factual statement? I guess that's kind of news?

Rapidcreek OP ,

I noticed something interesting on the Harvard Square protest, where the real leaders of tommorow hang out.

Most of the tents are the same. And that means...

A) somebody's dad owns a tent company, or

B) there was a rare sale on tents, and somebody had a couple grand, or

C) uniformity was maintained

FlyingSquid Mod ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Or- here's a theory- they all went to Walmart and got the cheapest tent available.

I guess that doesn't involve some sort of conspiracy though, so it's more boring.

Edit: also, the photo in this article along with many others I'm finding suggests you need to get your eyes checked.

Edit 2: In fact, here's a couple of others from other angles.

Dasus , in Israel has yet to provide evidence of Unrwa staff terrorist links, Colonna report says

Wait they lied in defense of the genocide they don't admit to?

I'm shocked

Fuck Israel

tearsintherain , in US vetoes widely supported resolution backing full UN membership for Palestine
@tearsintherain@leminal.space avatar

I am somewhat amazed how much influence Israel seems to have over the United States. Even colleges and universities behaving as though they may as well be established in some autocratic, authoritarian state. It's like a signal was sent out all over the US. The same nation that brought the world NSO has people doxxing students for supporting Palestinians. How easy it's become to dehumanize people, women and children, babies even because the religious fervor truly has the right wing zealots believing they are "the chosen people". The dehumanization of Palestinian people is quite disgusting.

Another reminder that religion and politics should never be allowed to mix anywhere.

melroy , in High Court orders temporary suspension of Telegram's services in Spain
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I will continue to use telegram

Linkerbaan , in Palestinian who converted to Judaism mistakenly killed by IDF soldiers
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

The 63-year-old victim

Only reason this gets investigated is because he converted

Diplomjodler , in Biden backtracks on climate plans and ‘walks tightrope’ to court both young voters and moderates

What exactly counts as "moderate" in the present day US political landscape?

Cheems ,
@Cheems@lemmy.world avatar

It's pretty much a Republican in any other country

gagalo OP ,

sure?
