Good thread. Sadly nothing can be done till the Republican dictator and his lying press secretaries are out, and we get a Democrat in the White House
It's existential matters like this that make it so important to vote this November!

So, they don't really want to influence him.
Killing Palestinians is what gets Biden up in the morning.
I'm sure once Trump loses the election and this existential matter is defused once and for all, it will finally be acceptable to hold Democrats accountable.Good thread.

France to Take Legal Action Against French-Israeli Soldiers Involved in War Crimes in Gaza
Following pressure from left-wing political party, Foreign Ministry says it will take legal action against any dual-national soldiers engaged in activities in Gaza that constitute war crimes

Good. Despite its deficiencies, France remains the most sane leading western nation.
Ireland is still the bust but yea, France (and I think Belgium as well) have been fairly vocal in calling Israel out after going through the whole charade of ‘Israel has a right to defend itself’ bullshit. There was also a French foreign ministry employee who was killed by Israelis in December which may have had some impact.
Spain and Portugal have also upped their funding to UNRWA since the whole debacle. So there’s a smallish but growing group of Western nations turning the tide.
Super big rifts. Netanyahu, you are a mofo, but have everything you want
Good summary. I look forward to seeing what they do next. You can’t talk about human rights while completely ignoring what’s happening in Gaza. Kids are dying of starvation… in 2024. Speaking up against this is the least that you expect from countries that think of themselves as protectors of human rights. France has championed that since 1789.
Dominique de Villepin keeps talking about this issue. He has been right from Day One, just like he was right about the stupidity of going to Iraq in 2003 (I just re-watched his address back then at the UN).
Not from the U.K., but this guy is just as dangerous as anyone, with such expansionist beliefs that are beyond the pale.
Wouldn't want him here in Australia either.
Yes, everyone has been telling me this.
I've explained I have some familial and emotional connections to Israel (and once lived there for a year as a teenager), so I've had a hard time trying to reconcile my own personal feelings about Israel with the 'facts on the ground' regarding just how bad the state of Israel truly is.
NY Times's interview with released Israeli hostage who claims to have been sexually assaulted whilst in captivity
Mods, it's pay-walled, so hopefully it's okay to link a version for those who can't access the full article?
Found below:

For the record, for those who remember the the NY Times article "Screams without Words" which had serious issues regarding failing to meet editorial standards by using dubious sources, be mindful these are different journalists who have published this story and it is a first-hand account.
I also read some earlier stories that members of the I.D.F. committed acts of sexual assault and rape upon female Gazan detainees, which is egregious and definitely constitutes a war crime.

I can not see his face. But I would not be surprised of comments like this.

Israeli government threatening the hostages families if they protest their family hostages would be placed down in the list of release negotiations.
The ultra-orthodox parties don't have a better alternative outside of Netanyahu's govenment. They won't be going anywhere,

He's right - they have been heading straight into the abyss for a long time and international intervention absolutely needs to happen.
The UK government has known it was from before Oct 7th. The reason it’s coming to light now is because there is growing international pressure and the UK are trying to save face.
I posted the recording above.
Sorry, should have checked.
It's ok, I also wanted confirmation that it was him, because you can not see his face
Now the WP has published that too

Absolute state of this cnut
That's what a genocide sounds like.
Wow, he must be a donkey if he thinks people will fall for this.
I prefer it when they say exactly what they think, not this wishy-washy nonsense.

Carter in 2007. Israeli apartheid is worse than the south African.
