Netanyahu’s plane avoided flying over countries that could enforce #icc warrant: Report AJ
The aircraft carrying the ISR PM from Hungary to the US flew 400km (248 miles) further than the normal route to avoid the #airspace of several countries that could enforce an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, according to the Haaretz newspaper.

Falls sich die Situation so bestätigt, wie sie hier in dem vom #zdf veröffentlichten Video https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/politik/ausland/israel-gazastreifen-retter-getoetet-roter-halbmond-100.html zu erkennen ist, dürfte es sich eindeutig um einen völkerrechtswidrigen Übergriff israelischer Truppenteile auf Kräfte des Roten Kreuzes / Roten Halbmonds #redcrossredcrescent handeln. Dabei sind Kameradinnen und Kameraden des Palästinensischen Roten Halbmonds #PRCS ums Leben gekommen, eindeutig gekennzeichnete, vom #DRK zur Verfügung gestellte Einsatzfahrzeuge wurden zerstört.
Die israelische Regierung muss diesen Übergriff nun rasch und vollständig aufklären, die betreffenden Militärpersonen gehören wegen #Kriegsverbrechen und Verstoßes gegen das Humanitäre Völkerrecht #HVR / International Humanitarian Law #IHL vor Gericht gestellt!
Übrigens: die betreffenden Soldaten könnten, falls Israel nicht tätig wird, jederzeit auch in #Deutschland nach unserem #Völkerstrafgesetzbuch vor Gericht gestellt werden.

Another article on the actual scandal within #signalscandal being the activity they were coordinating. Not the use of an app.
Trump's 'America Second' strategy of subjugating itself to Israel - in this case bombing targets that present no threat to the US in order to punish a group standing up to Israeli aggression against Palestinians, may likely be making US citizens less safe, not more. While breaking domestic law in defiance of international law. Sounds awfully familiar to Australian foreign policy.
In #Australia the relentless participation in US wars in the name of 'security' and 'alliance commitments' has demonstrably eroded security. While driving up costs and straining regional relationships. All while breaking laws, norms and conventions on behalf of foreign interests. While mouthing glib motherhood statements about 'the Rule of Law'. Empire sucks.
"Historically, the president has only been permitted to unilaterally order US forces to wage war in self-defense — if, say, US troops or civilians come under attack somewhere. But just as with Biden’s own Yemen strikes, that’s not what has happened here. Trump ordered these strikes in response to the Houthis threatening to resume attacks on *Israeli shipping. It’s worth noting, too, that the Houthis’ stated reason for restarting this blockade is as a response to Israel breaking the terms of the Gaza cease-fire and once more blocking humanitarian aid from entering the territory."

Wir haben uns schon vor einiger Zeit Alternativen zu verschiedenen toxischen Plattformen gesucht. Wir meinen, damit der völkerrechtlich verankerten Forderung, dass das Rote Kreuz unabhängig zu sein hat, besser nachkommen zu können als mit der Nutzung von Plattformen, deren Betreiber Einfluss auf die veröffentlichten Inhalte nehmen - und dies inzwischen nachweislich auch tun!
- Wir verwenden kein WhatsApp.
- Neben Instagram sind wir parallel auch auf Pixelfed zu finden, und zwar auf der im Roten Kreuz selbstbetriebenen Instanz https://drk.media.
- X (vormals Twitter) haben wir bereits seit geraumer Zeit verlassen und sind nach Mastodon gewechselt, und zwar ebenfalls auf die im DRK selbstbetriebene Instanz https://drk.network.
Wir würden uns freuen, unsere Follower auf diesen Plattformen begrüßen zu können!

The Great Omari Mosque in #gaza, a 2,000-year-old architectural and historical treasure, has stood through centuries of transformation and war. Yet, on 8 December 2023, Israeli air strikes targeted this sacred site.
The destruction of the mosque is not just an assault on stone and history, it is an attempt to erase a people’s deep-rooted presence, their rights and their unbreakable connection to the land.

Despite the declaration of a #ceasefire on JAN-19 2025, ISR continues to commit #genocide in the #gaza strip by denying Palestinians the basic necessities for survival and imposing conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction.
Now, ISR is enforcing measures to effectively kill the population through an illegal, total siege that blocks the flow of basic supplies and aid.
Report: Euro-Med HR Monitor
A pause in hostilities in Gaza will protect children from bombs and bullets for as long as it holds but must be the turning point to secure a definitive #ceasefire and to rapidly increase humanitarian aid to #children facing malnutrition and disease, said Save the Children.

Dr. Mads Gilbert, anesthesiologist and professor of emergency medicine at the University of Tromsø, Norway, discusses Israel's 14-month onslaught on Gaza's healthcare system, killing more than 1,000 healthcare workers, with many others disappeared and tortured. Dr. Gilbert spent more than 20 years working and training Gaza doctors.

#EUOfficials Will Claim Ignorance of #Israel’s #WarCrimes. This Leaked Document Shows What They Knew.
The internal EU document may strip European foreign ministers of “plausible deniability” in #IsraeliWarCrimes in #Gaza, experts said.
Arthur Neslen, December 23 2024
[...] "Skoog’s analysis laid out evidence from United Nations sources of war crimes by Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah since October 7, 2023, when around 1,200 people were killed during a Hamas-led attack that prompted Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip. The U.N. estimates some 45,000 people have died in Gaza since, with more than half estimated to be women and children.
"Though the assessment did not spare Hamas and Hezbollah, much of its strongest language was reserved for the Israel Defense Forces [#IDF].
"'War has rules,' the paper says. 'Given the high level of civilian casualties and human suffering, allegations focus mainly on how duty bearers, including the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), have seemingly failed to distinguish between civilians and combatants and to take all feasible precautions to protect civilians and civilian objects against the effects of the attacks, in violation of the fundamental principles of #IHL' — international humanitarian law.
"Skoog cites an increased use of 'dehumanizing language' by Israeli political and military leaders, which may 'contribute to evidence of intent' to commit genocide.
"'Incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence — such as that made in statements by Israeli officials — constitutes a serious violation of international human rights Law and may amount to the international crime of incitement to genocide,' the paper says.
"The implications for senior officials from arms-exporting countries to Israel — such as #Germany, #Italy and #France — were not lost on Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek finance minister and secretary-general of the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025.
"If the International Criminal Court finds Israeli officials guilty of war crimes, #Varoufakis told the Intercept, the very distribution of the report to EU ministers carries significance because the Europeans will not be able plead ignorance.
"'They cannot plausibly deny that they were privy to the facts given the contents of the EU’s special representative’s report that they had a duty to take under consideration,' Varoufakis said. “The world now knows that they knew they were in breach of international law because they were explicitly told so by the EU’s own special representative on human rights. History will judge them harshly. And perhaps so will the ICC.'"

Excellent point on pager attack by Dan Davies on Bluesky.
Now the norm against booby trapping objects is broken, where the hell will supply chain attacks end up going?
I do wonder what happens if China, global supplier of everything including batteries, takes notice. The entire Internet is quite right to be worried here.

Now Lammy & Labour are on the receiving end of criticism from Israel & its lobbyists, including the Board of Deputies. I think the smear campaign will focus on Lammy. Prepare for more rhetoric (terrible/horrific/shameful).
I already have the glossary - it's the same words they used against Corbyn, Miller, Universities, peaceful anti-genocide marchers. The accusation of antisemitism will follow soon...

How Israel is displacing Palestinians in #WestBank. “While international attention has been on Gaza, dozens of Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank are being displaced.
