The ICC arrest warrants were never going to deter anyone from doing anything, so the UKs stalling tactic is therefore irrelevant to saving lives. In fact, it gives the court a chance to strengthen its jurisdiction. Not worried about this.

“Why are the Palestinians violent?”

Politicians didn’t keep their promises after being elected.

Turkey using its loudmouth support for Palestinians as a cover to deepen its campaign against the Kurds.

Same hypocrisy and double standard as when US officials condemn Russia’s crimes but feel very nuanced, conflicted, appalled but understanding of Israeli crimes.

Oh fuck off.

Free the Uighurs and free Palestine. There, happy?

Canada also has a FPTP system and we have like 5 federal parties. But it’s also a Westminster parliamentary system that allows temporary alliances, minority governments, support and supply agreements and other power-sharing arrangements.

The American system is unique in their imperial presidency and aristocratic Senate and supreme Court, where so much power is concentrated in so few people for such a long time that every election becomes a high stakes cosmic event.

Israeli jews have the right to life, freedom, safety. They have the right to a home in the Holy Lands.

They don’t have the right to set up a Jewish supremacist apartheid state to deny the same rights to everyone else.

The state that they have created and entrenched with genocide and “facts on the ground” no longer has legitimacy to exist in its present form. Because of its entrenchment I don’t see how it can be reformed.

So instead, ending this political entity to establish a new democratic one seems to be the surest way out of this mess.

This is not a call for genocide by any stretch of imagination.

This is Germany’s “special history” with the Palestinians being created right now. This. This supporting and enabling their genocide.

I didn’t say it’s a random state, I said it was a particular one. It is one particular expression of Jewishness, when others also exist. Precisely because of the history of Germany, the German state has no business whatsoever to play arbiter about which version of Jewishness is the most authentic.

Germany equating its historic debt to Jewish people with support for a particular state is an absolutely disgusting distortion of the German obligation of remembrance.

Just like this, they throw under the bus any anti-Zionist Jew.

Honestly, when it comes to Israel/Palestine, the German state should just do what their other genocide victim, Namibia, told them to do and Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Stay the fuck out of it. Say the honorable thing that you will abide by the rulings of international courts. Provide humanitarian aid, help refugees and displaced people. Be a ray of light and humanity, not a stickler for rules and definitions. Don’t be so goddamn fucking German for a change.

How was Iraq a proxy war?

Arguably, a much more critical job for a capital-intensive army.

Unsurprisingly, that’s when your interlocutor disappears from the conversation and you’re not going to get a response, obviously.

Of course. If only Palestinian society was afforded the same amount of nuance.

Define “all”. Because the status quo ante before October 7th was already a fucking crime.

I don’t speak German, so this is just Google Translate:

1. Anyone who establishes an organization (§ 129 paragraph 2) whose purpose or activity is aimed at

1. murder (§ 211) or manslaughter (§ 212) or genocide (§ 6 of the International Criminal Code) or crimes against humanity (§ 7 of the International Criminal Code) or war crimes (§§ 8, 9, 10, 11 or § 12 of the International Criminal Code) or
2. crimes against personal freedom in the cases of § 239a or § 239b or anyone who participates in such an organization as a member shall be punished with imprisonment from one year to ten years.

So like, just wondering a hypothetical here, let’s say that in the future the ICJ sides with South Africa against Israel regarding the Gaza genocide case, would Germany actually start persecuting pro-kahanist bootlickers for terrorism? Or does the German “raison d’etat” cover criminals if they’re Jewish Israelis?

Important missing context:

And to imagine, people in QC sometimes drive to ON for emergency care because our wait times are even longer.

RoC: votes conservatives.

See you at the next sovereignty debate.

On Sunday, a group of 250 Iranian legislators introduced a motion that requires the administration to designate the Canadian Army and federal police forces as terrorist organizations.

Historically speaking, from an indigenous perspective, the characterization of the RCMP as terrorist is not too far off the mark.
