On May 20, the Chief Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, filed arrest warrant applications for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and three senior Hamas leaders.
Mondoweiss correspondent David Kattenburg called the charges against the Israeli leaders a "bombshell." Khan said the two men "bear criminal responsibility" for a host of war crimes and crimes against humanity including:
starvation of Gazan civilians as a method of warfare, wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury in the besieged enclave, wilful killing or murder, intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population, extermination by starvation, and persecution and other “inhumane acts” committed from at least October 8. All of these crimes form part of a "widespread and systematic attack against the Palestinian civilian population pursuant to State policy."
In this episode, Yumna Patel speaks with Hassan Ben Imran, a member of the Governing Council of Law for Palestine, about Palestinians' long effort to access international legal institutions and the impact of this development. Later, I speak to Spencer Ackerman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign policy columnist for The Nation, about how these indictments deepen the crisis of international order.

“The biggest insult to the memory of the Holocaust is not denying it but using it to commit genocide against the Palestinian people.” ~ Norman Finkelstein

how to justify doing a genocide step 1: mention that you've been through a genocide yourself step 2: lie through your teeth that the genocide you're doing isn't a genocide (it barely looks like the genocide you went through)

It’s pretty interesting what Mike Johnson said about Karim Khan: you’ll be put back in your place! How dare an elite among the natives think he’s equal to the master.

The El Al flight path from "Tel Aviv" to "New York" goes over "Canada". Just sayin'.

44:17 A world of law *is* a world of power. Law requires enforcement; also known as the threat of violence, & the willingness to actually be violent, to encourage people to obey. Law requires power.
