You mean the man with a reputation for not paying his lawyers is having trouble finding competent legal council?

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

as part of an Israeli plan to construct a security zone just inside Gaza—to which Palestinians would be barred entry.

INSIDE Gaza. They already built their apartheid prison-wall inside Gaza, in violation of international law or Palestinian consent. Now they are going to take even more land for their concentration camp.

These are the types of cases where it pays to be lenient.

Without going deeply into the history & tactics of dealing with insurgencies: If the goal is social stability and reconciliation - it is best to be lenient the first time, but then be absolutely over-the-top brutal the second.

10 more votes than expected.

The point of the ICJ and laws against genocide and ethnic cleansing is to protect minorities, like, say, Jews.

So if they're saying that those post WWII rules are now null and void... then there's nothing to protect them once the US Empire either withdraws or loses interest in providing cover.

I see no downside whatsoever.

Wait ... you mean the Canadian government is willing to step in to make sure their people can get access to medications? Isn't that communism or something?

What's heartbreaking about this is that they were supposed to be God's chosen people.

If genocide and ethnic cleansing is what God wants, I'm really glad we killed him.

you'd think members of Israel's government would know better than to say shit like this

It's a combination of factors:

1. Israelis view the locals as little more than animals.
2. Israelis have been able to get away with their brutal treatment of the locals for generations now.

Corporate media is not a fan of his. That said, he mysteriously gets a lot more screen time every 4 years as he explains to people why they have to hold their noses and vote for the most recent corporate approved Democrat.

Do a quick Google search. This happens every 4 years like clockwork. It's not like there's some vast conspiracy paying Comsky to do this, it's just that he allows Democrats to make the case that leftists should feel bad about not blindly voting for them.

"You don't want to vote for _______???!!! Why here's a clip of Chomsky explaining why you must! You are clearly not a very good leftist if you're so far out there that even Chomsky doesn't agree with you!"

Two quick examples, but you will find that he comes up every four years to explain why this particular election is the most important election ever and you must hold your nose and vote for the democrat.

1. Acknowledging that the people who hurt you are living in your head and you're ready to move on. A lot of folks are unable to even get this far.
2. Therapy.
3. Truly internalize the realization that the act of imagining scenarios where you get to hurt the people who hurt you is like drinking poison with the expectation that someone other than yourself will be made ill.
4. living a good life.

This journey is difficult and requires a lot of self-reflection and maturity. Best of luck to you.

Who is Chomsky?

He's the guy mainstream media ignore most of the time but then trots out every four years because he always ends up supporting the corporate approved Democrat.

Here's the thing: Politics is dead.

You know what else has broad popular support?

Medicare for All

Free college

Well funded public housing

There's a much longer list, but you get the idea. It's not what both parties are the same ... it's that Democrats use the same tired excuses for not doing what is popular and needed.

In 2024 not only are we going to be asked to once again ignore that Democrats are unable to fulfill the most basic functions of a political party, but we're going to be told we need to vote for somebody who tacitly approved of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

That's a bridge too far for me. Saying that the other guy is worse may be true, but it still doesn't take away the reality that the Democratic nominate for POTUS is a genocidal monster.

This is such anti-semitic blood-libel!

Let me explain: 100% of Hamas members eat bread. Children eat bread. Therefore children deserve to starve.

Checkmate!

Now where do you work? I need to make sure you get fired for being so racist.

I suspect whats going on here is that the South Africans know what kind of people Zionists are, since the old apartheid government used to partner with them.

The Christian right aren't Sanders actual enemies; that would be the Democratic party.

If one is willing to prioritize pedantry over human decency - then yes, one could make a case this isn't technically genocide.

But even if one is willing to concede that point - what's absolutely happening is ethnic cleansing. Not sure if that's an improvement.

Spend 30 days in jail vs Murder the locals.

Shocked that this is so rare it makes the news.

Gonna call shenanigans on this.

Bombs shatter organs - even when the victim isn't in the blast-radius. Heck, just the sonic booms from fighter-jets can (and do) trigger miscarriages. Organs that are crushed, riddled with shrapnel, and probably close to the consistency of oatmeal are not worth the risks of retrieval.

2019 called. They want their False Flag operation back.
