The U.S./Israeli hostage rescue operation was a massive violation of the Law of War, especially as it pertains to the issue of proportionality.

There is no legal jurisdiction that would certify a claim that rescuing four hostages is worth 200-plus civilians.

Even the Israeli Supreme Court agrees this outcome is a gross violation of the principle of proportionality—as it set out in a 2004 decision.

The question now is whether the ICC will have the moral integrity to set forth an additional indictment against Israel, and an indictment against the U.S.

VIKTOR ORBÁN:

“It must also be made clear that we didn’t join the European Union in order to collectively go to war.

Nor did we join the European Union in order to pour 100 billion euros into war.

Money’s being poured in by the sackful – money that’s being thrown together from the taxes of individuals and companies, from individual and company taxpayers.

And instead of keeping it in the European economy and using it to develop Europe, we’re sending it away and burning it in the war.

We’re already at 100 billion, and ever more demands are being made.

War is a Moloch, a monster that’s always hungry and needs to be fed.

It needs to be fed with money, and I see that the Americans – at least the Democratic administration – and the leaders of the European Union are prepared to feed it.

If we’re going to spend all our money in Ukraine, how are we going to restart the European economy?”

We were accused of being anti American and antisemitic for questioning the construction of so called humanitarian aid pier:

How the Nuseirat Massacre unfolded:

Israel used the US-built ‘humanitarian pier’ to sneak in a unit of Israeli soldiers, and reportedly American soldiers. The soldiers boarded a humanitarian aid truck and drove to Nuseirat refugee camp.

Once inside, they were discovered by Palestinians, which resulted in nonstop Israeli aerial bombardment and the soldiers opening fire inside the central market, killing over 210 Palestinians and injuring hundreds.

The ‘humanitarian pier’ gets exposed to be an occupation, assassination, and massacre pier.

The Americans cannot be trusted under any circumstances. A humanitarian pier built under the guise of helping hungry and starving Palestinians, was actually used to massacre them.

Every day the US’ colonial barbarism gets revealed to be more and more horrific.

Breaking | The latest toll of the Israeli-American offensive in the Al-Nuseirat refugee camp has risen to 210 Palestinians killed and more than 400 injured, including many children and women.

Israel has used the American pier in central Gaza, initially intended for humanitarian aid delivery, to sneak in a unit consisting of American and Israeli soldiers into the camp using a humanitarian aid truck. Once discovered by Palestinians, Israeli occupation aircraft and artillery began relentless shelling of the camp, resulting in the massacre of hundreds of Palestinian civilians.

Eka. 9

So a ratio of 68.5 Palestinian killed (overwhelmingly civilian) for each hostage freed, plus the hundreds of wounded on top.

In a just world, this massacre would by far be the lead story: it is obviously completely unacceptable to kill 68.5 people to free 1 hostage, especially given Israel rejects ceasefire agreements that’d free all hostages without bloodshed…

#RememberAaronBushnell He knew the US military was involved in IOF mass murder of tens of thousands of Palestinians civilians and that it was being hidden. Today his prediction came true.

“Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now,” – Aaron Bushnell RIP.

A friend who spoke to the New York Post states that Bushnell spoke to him on the phone on Saturday night. Bushnell said that he had top-security clearance and that he was distressed by what he was seeing in Gaza. “He told me on Saturday that we have troops in those tunnels, that it’s U.S. soldiers participating in the killings,’’ the friend said.

“There’s just too many things I don’t know, but I can tell you that the tone of his voice just had something in it that told me he was scared,’’ the friend said. (While the U.S. has special-operations troops in Israel to reportedlyidentify American hostages, the Biden administration has stated that there will be no American soldiers in Gaza.)

Biden lied to his country. Aaron Bushnell died for this country. Never forget him.

Medvedev:

„The spoiled liver sausage Scholz unexpectedly began to talk and spout utter nonsense. Or, as we would say in a well-known language here, he mixed things up. Scholz stated that the Russian President should acknowledge that Ukraine is strong and cannot be brought to its knees.

Ukraine? What is that? Today, the former Ukraine, to speak in high style, is something like a dominion directly controlled by the USA and NATO countries. It is fully maintained by them, although not without difficulty. Despite protests from its own population, it receives all kinds of the most deadly weapons. Even the strange guy with the repulsive bumpy face, Borrell, admitted that the conflict in Ukraine could be ended in a couple of weeks if the supply of weapons to Kyiv were halted.

So where is the strength, sausage maker? In the insane rampant corruption? In the total embezzlement of Western aid by Zelensky’s clique? In the dying people, half of whom live in Russia and Europe?

Shameful. He, the scoundrel, should just kneel and apologize to the Ukrainians. For the lies about the inevitable “victory.” For dooming them to extermination while simultaneously sacrificing the well-being of the Germans entrusted to him. For the revival of Nazism in the form of Bandera-ism. For the indescribable incompetence in governance. For the historical loss of trust in the SPD, from which Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt have turned over in their graves many times.

However, insignificance is insignificance in everything.

Dixi.“

The #Tamimi family in Nabi Saleh stands as a symbol of peaceful resistance. It is heartbreaking to see Basem reduced to a shadow of his former self after months in Israel’s unlawful ‘administrative’ detention—ie. no charge, no trial. Thousands of Palestinians face such harsh injustice across the oPt right now.

Taking hostages is a crime, and so is arbitrarily depriving protected persons of their freedom—especially under an Apartheid regime aimed at forcibly removing indigenous people from their land.

Thomas Fazi@battleforeurope

The results of the European elections are likely to have a much more limited impact than people fear — or hope for. Here’s why (for dummies):

The most obvious fact: the liberal-centrist bloc — i.e., the von der Leyen “super grand coalition” comprising the centre-right EPP, centre-left SD&D and liberal ER — has retained a majority, pointing to the likelihood of a second term for the incumbent president of the European Commission. Brace yourself.

The bigger presence of right-populist parties inside the EP will certainly have an impact on the legislative process, especially on highly polarising issues such as the European Green Deal and immigration, but those parties are deeply divided on several crucial strategic issues: social and economic matters, European enlargement, China, EU-US relations and, most important, Ukraine. This means that, even if they succeed in pushing the European Commission to the right, they will struggle to turn their electoral success into political influence; on Europe’s most important challenges, it seems unlikely they will vote as a bloc. Perhaps the most fundamental issue: the EU is not a democracy. The European Parliament doesn’t even have the power to initiate legislation, which is the basic hallmark of national parliaments. In the EU the real power isn’t exercised by the European Parliament, or even by democratically elected governments, but by institutions that are largely insulated from any form of democratic accountability — chiefly the European Commission, the ECB and the European Court of Justice. These are able to effectively enforce whatever policy they want on elected governments — and even forcibly remove them from office, as they did with Silvio Berlusconi in 2011.

Yes, the European Parliament exercises some oversight over the Commission’s policies, but the EP itself remains a fundamentally undemocratic institution itself. The entire legislative process — which takes places through a system of informal tripartite meetings on legislative proposals between representatives of the Parliament, the Commission, the Council and known as trilogue — is opaque to say the least. This is exacerbated by the fact that European Parliament is physically, psychologically and linguistically more distant from ordinary people than national ones are, which in turn it makes it more susceptible to the pressure of lobbyists and well-organised vested, and to the problem of oligarchic capture more in general. As a result, even the most well-meaning politicians, once they get to Brussels, tend to get sucked into its bubble.

On an even more fundamental level, none of this will ever change, even if the European Parliament is granted full legislative powers; for the simple reason that there is no European demos for the Parliament to represent. Such a demos — a political community generally defined by a shared and relatively homogenous language, culture, history, normative system, etc. — still only exists at the national level. Indeed, the EU remains deeply fractured along national economic, geopolitical and cultural fault lines — and this looks unlikely to change.

For all these reasons, these elections are unlikely to solve the pressing economic, political and geopolitical problems afflicting the EU: stagnation, poverty, internal divergences, democratic disenfranchisement and, perhaps most crucially for the continent’s future, the bloc’s aggressive NATO-isation and militarisation in the context of escalating tensions with Russia.

The biggest impact of these election is likely to be the national fallout in certain countries — especially France, where Macron has called early legislative elections in the face of a crushing defeat to Marine Le Pen. This, however, also raises problems, as it points to yet another way in which the EU destabilises national politics. I’m glad to see Macron humiliated, but the idea that the European elections should have a direct bearing on nationally mandated governments is a dangerous one.

Ultimately, populists should never forget that constraining popular sovereignty and democracy — and resisting populist insurgencies such as the one we are currently witnessing across Europe — is in many ways the reason the EU was created in the first place. Those who believe in democracy and popular sovereignty should aim at tearing the EU down — not at reforming it.

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt@FranceskAlbs

I welcome the #UNSC‘s ceasefire resolution of June 10. Pending a full assessment, here are

some critical observations:

1. UNSC cannot infringe people’s right to #selfdetermination. UNSC lacks authority to determine “who” will or should rule over Gaza or the rest of the oPt. Palestinians (everywhere, starting with the whole occupied Palestinian territory) will have to choose in free and democratic #elections, not piloted, controlled or vetoed by outsiders, all the more by those who have committed or supported crimes against them in 8 months of genocidal war. The fear of ideologically “extremist” parties cannot justify interfering with the free will of the people (in Palestine, Israel, Europe or elsewhere).

2. #eastJerusalem is part of the occupied Palestinian territory, with or without mention by the ceasefire resolution, and Israel must withdraw from there as well: #annexation remains unlawful.

3. Israel, NOT the international community, should pay for the #reconstruction of Gaza. There is something pedagogical in being held accountable for its own crimes, including #domicide #scholasticide and the destruction of the #health system.

4. Healing the wounds of this genocide should remain top priority for the body mandated to ensure peace & security for present and future generations. Now may the UNSC ensure compliance from all concerned parties.
