Terwijl Netanyahu door het Int'l Strafhof gezocht voor misdaden tegen de mensheid in Gaza, en de illegale kolonisatie van de Westbank wordt opgedreven, zijn anderen enkel bezig met critici en universiteiten zwart te maken onder de noemer "'antisemitisme". standaard.be/opinies/geef-ge…

1. You are an Israeli Minister carrying out a genocide. Stay out of US domestic politics.
2. The IHRA definition of antisemitism revoked by Mamdani conflates Jews & Israel, which is itself antisemitic & puts a target on Jews' back whenever Israel murders Palestinians, which is what Israel does for a living. He revoked an antisemitic definition of antisemitism.
3. This antisemitic definition of antisemitism has been used by the NYPD to falsely classify anti-genocide (aka anti-Israel) incidents as antisemitic so it's impossible to know how much antisemitism is actually happening in NYC. This is yet a 2nd reason why the antisemitic definition of antisemitism is antisemitic: it means we have no idea how much antisemitism there is.
4. You are a genocidal monster and should sit in prison the rest of your life. And there are quite literally tens if not hundreds of millions of people around the world that will spend the rest of their lives working to make sure your retirement is spent in a dungeon.

“Europe should have offered the Jews a state on half of Germany.. that would be a real good compensation for the Holocaust..”
“Building a Jewish state at the expense of people who had nothing to do with European anti-Semitism was a very bad idea..”
—Israeli historian Ilan Pappé

Dear journalists covering Palestine & Israel,
Your job is to determine if what Israel says is true or false, not to report what Israel says.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

You bombed historic churches in Gaza and Lebanon and massacred entire Christian families

You literally fire journalists for asking questions.
Freedom of speech is the foundation of our strong and vibrant European democracy.
We are proud of it. We will protect it.
Because the @EU_Commission is the guardian of our values.

🇬🇧To the UK government: the more people you arrest to shamefully cover up Israel's genocide the more decent people will stand up against you in the name of human rights.
In the end, we will all make sure that the leaders who are complicit with Israel genocide will face justice.

Alternative headline: Israel accelerates its illegal annexation of the West Bank and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

Never would I have imagined seeing European leaders turn against their own citizens-crushing protest, free journalism, academic freedom-all to avoid holding a genocidal state to account.
Yet History rarely announces itself as barbarism; it often arrives disguised as civilization.
Shocking that @Keir_Starmer will not order even a compassionate release for the hunger strikers who did what they did to end a GENOCIDE by Israel of the Palestinians in Gaza.

The US threatens new ICC sanctions unless court pledges not to prosecute Trump, and drop probes into Israeli leaders and US troops in Afghanistan.
More threats, more bullying; with international justice as battle ground.
How will the 125 States part of the ICC react this time around?
Seriously, there are 125 of them.
And so far, mostly, we have seen appeasement, submission, calls for "dialogue". PATHETIC.
Instead they must / should:
▪Affirm their commitment to protect and strengthen the Rome Statute system and the International Criminal Court within it;
▪ Firmly condemn and oppose the sanctions imposed on the Court by US Executive Order 14203
▪Strongly commit to supporting the ICC, including through engaging with the Court and designated persons to mitigate the effects of the sanctions, so that it can fully continue to execute its independent and impartial mandate and operations;
▪Call on the US government to rescind the sanctions and individual designations of ICC judges and OTP officials; Palestinian human rights organizations and; the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories;
▪Maintain a robust and collective Assembly opposition to sanctions imposed by the USA and oppose any engagement or concessions with the USA on the basis or purported rationale of US Executive Order 14203 - which is founded on the USA’s opposition to the Court’s independent and impartial mandate to conduct investigations where it has territorial jurisdiction.
▪Firmly commit to enacting laws and measures at the national and regional level which would block the extraterritorial effects of the US sanctions law – so called ‘blocking statutes’
▪Recognise that human rights to truth, justice and reparations are the bedrocks for peace, and individual accountability for crimes under international law is non-negotiable in any efforts towards negotiated peace or conflict-resolution outcomes;
And we, civil society, human rights defenders, lawyers, many more of us - will NOT be silent in the face of these threats.
We too will continue to defend the ICC’s ability to exercise its independent mandate and pursue individual accountability, especially with respect to those who are most powerful and would otherwise enjoy the prospect of impunity for crimes under international law.
We will Resist, not Appease.

Citizens opposing genocide attacked by police.
Journalists & activists exposing genocide criminalised.
Conferences investigating genocide cancelled.
Dissent labelled ‘antisemitism’ by law.
Europeans' taxes used to repress freedoms & shield those committing genocide.

Israel did this
Zionists did this
Palestinian journalist and author Plestia Alaqad shared a haunting video of an empty stadium, asking viewers to imagine every seat filled with a child killed in Gaza.
The video reflects the scale of Israel’s mass killing of Palestinian children, with 20,000 young lives brutally erased in the ongoing genocide.
Alaqad said the empty seats are a stark reminder that these are not statistics, but children whose lives and futures were cut short.
