another ceasefire vote overwhelmingly supported by all involved parties except for one as it's unilaterally vetoed by the US. so cool.

we're entering holocaust territory here. and there's going to be ZERO repurcussions against the people and governments purpetrating it. US, German, & UK governments are especially complicit. All parties involved should be tried, jailed, and hung if found guilty.

Defending Rights & Dissent Condemns Passage of H.R. 9495



Washington, DC – Defending Rights & Dissent condemns the passage of H.R. 9495, or the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act. This bill allows the Secretary of the Treasury to unilaterally strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits deemed “terrorist supporting” without meaningful due process.



“It is appalling that in the face of overwhelming civil society opposition, 204 Republicans and 15 Democrats in the House voted in favor of a bill that will be used to strip organizations of their nonprofit status in a politically motivated fashion and without proper due process,” said Chip Gibbons, Policy Director. “The bill is driven by the current McCarthyite attacks on Palestine solidarity activism, but it empowers the executive branch to crackdown on charities broadly. It is intolerable for any administration to have these powers, but it is reckless for anyone who claims Trump poses a threat to democracy to hand his administration yet another weapon to use against their opponents.”



Aimed at nonprofits supporting pro-Palestine advocacy and activism, H.R. 9495 has sweeping implications for all of civil society. The bill’s vague “terrorist supporting” designation could be applied baselessly and broadly, with devastating consequences for the civil society infrastructure supporting dissent. In the absence of meaningful due process, any nonprofit – from humanitarian organizations to independent news rooms – could risk losing tax-exempt status. The bill has further implications for civil society. The mere threat of being tied up in litigation, facing the reputational harm that such a designation would bring, and loss of donors, would chill speech and stifle dissent.



Recognizing the existential danger to dissent, civil society organizations and concerned individuals across the nation mobilized opposition to H.R. 9495. Nearly 4,000 Defending Rights & Dissent supporters contacted their representatives about the bill.



“The massive popular outcry against this bill demonstrates just how controversial it is,” said Sue Udry, Executive Director. “Hundreds of thousands of people wrote and called Congress, and over 300 civil society groups stood in opposition. We urge the House and Senate leadership to resist the urge to include it in any year-end must-pass legislation.”

Here we have it @moose eater . Just as we were both saying in October-November of last year. If the ICC tries to arrest Israeli or US war criminals we're gonna see them threaten and possibly send troops to the Hague.

A year later and it's starting to come full circle;

Interesting from Trudeau. Wasn't expecting this statement from him even though he technically did not say he will arrest Hitleryahu. Will be interesting to see if he doesn't edit or change his statement after the zionist lobby come after him

There are numerous members of the EU, including those who've not supported Netanyahu's criminality of late, who might take a dim view of the over-blown white cowboy hat syndrome we seem to suffer from in 'our' glorification of American exceptionalism and nationalist hypocrisy as a (dying) Nation/colonial empire.

I wonder what a firefight involving Dutch and Spanish military forces defending against rogue illegal invaders and occupying forces from Israel and the US might look like?

Wouldn't be difficult for me to pick a side in that skirmish.
