The ICC prosecutor says Netanyahu and Gallant are criminally responsible for seeking to exterminate the people of Gaza, including by cutting off food and water.

Time then to arrest western leaders like Biden and Sunak who've actively helped Israel carry out these crimes against

The ICC has issued arrest applications for Netanyahu and Gallant for the use of 'starvation as a method of war' including 'cutting off cross-border water pipelines from Israel to Gaza'.

Keir Starmer said 'Israel does have that right' to cut water and power off from Gaza ๐Ÿ‘‡

Free Assange - #FreeAssange(@FreeAssangeNews) 's Twitter Profile Photo

How absurd is the US guarantee that Assange can 'seek' his First Amendment rights?

Author and comedian Matt Alford explains exactly that.

If you want to dive beneath the legal jargon and truly understand what Assange's extradition will look like, this is a must watch!

Difficult to know how the Guardian is so sure Israel is attacking 'Hamas militants' and not just continuing โ€“ as it has been for seven months โ€“ to indiscriminately bomb Gaza.

This piece reads like an Israeli press release.

The British people, and people everywhere, get it. The root cause is colonial occupation, the solution is liberation. But you in the media donโ€™t. Earlier today on LBC. Link to full interview youtu.be/6_RW8p7m_Hk?siโ€ฆ

Israel turns Palestinians it's taken hostage into the human equivalent of battery chickens.

However depraved you think Hamas is, what Israel is doing โ€“ and hardly any of it is being covered by establishment media โ€“ is far worse.

If you murder whole families, if you allow children to waste away by blocking food and water, if you torture doctors to death... What more does Israel need to do for the BBC to say 'Look, this is a terrorist state?'

Just a note for younger readers:

The threat from drug-resistant bacteria, caused by overuse of antibiotics, was a big story 40 years ago. That means one of two things:

Either this is another moral panic.
Or, more likely, the health industry has ignored decades of warnings, and

One moral panic โ€“ an entirely fake story about campus protest 'violence' against a Jewish student at Yale โ€“ illustrates the depths being plumbed by the establishment media.

The Jewish studentโ€™s own video of the incident shows her pressing herself up against a campus protest

The student protesters have been trying to change the national conversation in ways that will pressure Biden to stop his all-too-visible law-breaking in continuing to supply US weapons to Israel that are being used to commit war crimes.

But the students have run up against the

If you can get past the State Department's 'end-of-term school report' euphemisms, it now admits โ€“ after seven months of genocide โ€“ that Israel is probably using US weapons to commit war crimes in Gaza. That means the US is therefore breaking its own laws in continuing to supply

If we are to believe our genocide-supporting politicians, on the right and 'left', this is what the 'new antisemitism' looks like...

In reporting on the campus protests, the establishment media have simply rolled out the same well-thumbed playbook they used to cover up Israelโ€™s genocide in Gaza: strip out context, distort chronology, reverse the roles of aggressor and victim, and push the messaging so hard it
