To be fair… Satan seems to be in a monogamous relationship with Trump … who sends Netanyahu weapons, money and a diplomatic shield.

Es begann wahrscheinlich schon vor einer Weile, als sich nach dem Wahlsieg sofort die Medien in voreilendem Gehorsam gefügig machten. Seit dem ersten Tag im Amt entrechtet er eine Gruppe nach der anderen. Angefangen bei Trans-Personen (Existenz über Verordnung aufgelöst), über Immigranten und gebürtige, nichtweisse Amerikaner (Habeas Corpus de facto ausgesetzt und damit sind alle betroffen) und körperlich Behinderten (DEI-A) und nun gehts jedweden politischen Gegnern aus “Links” an den Kragen…

Faschisten hören nie bei einer Gruppe auf. Und sie nehmen sich irgendeinen Vorwand, um das zu tun, was sie sowieso tun wollten. Objektive Wahrheit weicht der einen Wahrheit. Genau darum ist Solidarität und Organisation so wichtig, um dagegen halten zu können und dem keinen Nährboden zu bieten. Wir sollten schleunigst aus dem Geschehen lernen, denn auch hier in Europa sehen wir ähnliche Frühbewegungen in diese Richtung ohne wirkliche Opposition.

I don’t think countries that are not joined ICC will be covered by ICJ.

The ICC and the ICJ are completely separate entities. While the ICJ stems from the UN charter, so every UN member has ratified it, the ICC can issue arrest warrants for any person on the planet, but only the signatories to the Rome Statutes are obliged to act upon them.

22 years after Iraq invasion, not a single person was held accountable

There is an argument to be made, that the rise of Trump was only possible, because nobody has ever been held to account. The whole Bush administration should have been brought to justice for their wars or detention and torture programs and other crimes, but Obama wanted “to look forward, not backwards” - and didn’t close Gitmo, while we’re at it. And he bailed out those, who made fraud their business model and crashed the economy for good measure, no accountability. The same goes for Tony Blair, who as you said, has been given yet another opportunity to get away with heinous crimes.

Well… yes? The Rome Statutes establish the ICC (International Criminal Court). It prosecutes criminal individuals. Their chief prosecutor Karim Khan has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant and Deif last November.

I was talking though about the ICJ (International Court of Justice) which was established through the UN Charter itself. Their jurisdiction therefore includes all UN member states. The aforementioned court order was a preliminary decision taken in the case brought forth by the state of South Africa against the state of Israel.

@Farhad

the big difference between ICJ ruling and UN report is that ICJ ruling was against individuals and not many countries are part of ICJ

You might be mistaking it for the ICC (International Criminal Court). The ICJ (International Court of Justice) is the highest court ruling on international law and therefore the genocide convention of 1948. Only states can appeal to it. The order obliges Israel as a nation, not as individuals, to suspend military operations, etc. and not to commit the four out of five actions defining genocide in the convention. The wording is “The State of Israel shall (…)”.

The biggest points out of that ruling to me are:

• The Palestinians are a group protected under the convention.
• The difficult to prove point of intention is met.
• Four out of five genocidal actions are relevant.
• They order Israel and all nations to prevent genocide.

They basically all but called it a genocide, because usually that takes time and legal mubmo-jumbo and is ruled after the fact. I’m sure that political thinking played a role too, since the ICJ has no executive power to enact its orders. They rely on compliance of the states. The big difference with the new report is that they unequivocally see all the conditions (intent and at least one action under Article 2) met to call it a genocide (even if not by a court).

This has been the case ever since the ICJ order from 26 January 2024. Instead, just a few days after the ruling, many signatories froze payments to UNRWA or scrapped them completely, as a reaction to mere allegations of Israel, that UNWRA workers have been part of the attack on October 7th. Thereby they have clearly violated the court order and are punishable under the same Genocide convention.

The court order points that out explicitly:

The Court recalls that, in accordance with Article I of the Convention, all States parties thereto have undertaken “to prevent and to punish” the crime of genocide, that is to say any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group (Article II, para. (a)); causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group (Article II, para. (b)); deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part (Article II, para. ©); imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group (Article II, para. (d)); forcibly transferring children of the group to another group (Article II, para. (e)). Pursuant to Article III of the Genocide Convention, the following acts are also prohibited by the Convention: conspiracy to commit genocide (Article III, para. (b)), direct and public incitement to commit genocide (Article III, para. ©), attempt to commit genocide (Article III, para. (d)) and complicity in genocide (Article III, para. (e)).

Too bad we live in an age of blatant lawlessness.

US-Präsident Donald Trump hat angekündigt, die Antifa-Bewegung in den USA als “bedeutende terroristische Organisation” einzustufen. Wie er das konkret umsetzen will, erklärte er in seinem Post auf Truth Social nicht.

Die Umsetzung ist egal und nicht der Punkt. Genauso wie der Vorwand (Kirk-Mord) sachlich nichts damit zu tun hat, werden Personen/Gruppen in Zukunft ohne Bezug zur Realität als Antifa bezeichnet und damit im Namen der Terrorismusbekämpfung der Willkür seines Staatsapparats ausgesetzt. Das ist die eigentliche Idee hinter der Aktion. Das sieht man z.B. auch am Satz danach:

“Ich werde außerdem nachdrücklich empfehlen, dass diejenigen, die die Antifa finanzieren, gemäß den höchsten rechtlichen Standards und Praktiken gründlich untersucht werden”, schrieb Trump.

following complaints about host’s comments on the killing of rightwing activist Kirk

is definitely misleading when

Before ABC pulled Kimmel, the Federal Communications Commission chair, Brendan Carr, had urged local broadcasters to stop airing the show, saying they were “running the possibility of fines or licensed revocation from the FCC” during an appearance on the rightwing commentator Benny Johnson’s podcast.

Or how Senator Markey put it:

"FCC chair threatens ABC and Disney over Kimmel’s comments. Hours later, he’s off air. It’s dangerous and unconstitutional. The message to every media company is clear: Adopt the MAGA line or the Federal Censorship Commission will come after you.”

Zionists are their own kind of evil. They deserve their own label.

Just gonna leave this here. Wind is SSW

Reminder, that the Ultra-Orthodox parties in Netanyahu’s coalition, didn’t break from him because they oppose anything that is being done in Gaza or the West Bank, but because he plans to end the exemption from conscription for Ultra-Orthodox Jews. In fact they still back the coalition in the legislature, but pulled their ministers.

“I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to pay for genocide in a foreign country against a foreign people for a foreign war that I had nothing to do with,”

It’s consistent from the viewpoint of not wanting to pay for what happens to those children abroad or at home, no matter the nature or morality of the action. Also: Look at the use of the word ‘foreign’ and think about, who she means with each use. Not with the ‘right’ intentions, she ends up at the correct policy.

Auf Höhe der Einmündung Eichenallee wurden die beiden Frauen von zwei Autos überholt. Das erste Auto konnte ungehindert an den Pedelec-Fahrerinnen vorbeifahren. Beim zweiten Auto, ein VW Golf einer 31-jährigen Frau aus Bad Oeynhausen, bog die 84-jährige Frau aus bisher unbekannten Gründen und vermutlich ohne Handzeichen zu geben nach links ab.

“Plötzlich” und “vermutlich ohne Handzeichen” sind schon nicht ganz dasselbe, nicht? Zumal es die Fahrerin des zweiten Fahrzeugs war, welche mit ihr kollidierte. Da scheint mir ein Übersehen nicht ganz unwahrscheinlich zu sein.

I’m certain, they’ll draw similarities to the Warsaw Ghetto to attack Hamas, but will conveniently forget to mention that they are the ones causing this for the whole of Gaza. So that the Western Pro-Genocide Journalists can have more talking points.

Edit: It seems it was the hostages’ families who are drawing comparisons to the holocaust. But to actually call for an ending of the fighting.

Not too long in the future:

The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.

Also from 1984 by George Orwell

Is that from the March Of Return from 2018/19?

If Data and witnesses or in other words verifiable reality “disagree”, there’s a word for that. It’s called “lying”. A word that should have been used a lot more often, because they’ve been doing so from the beginning. From 40 beheaded babies in ovens to now claiming there is no starving, they’ve been lying and lying and lying, without being called out by so-called journalists or leaders, so they lie again.

All the while the world can see what’s happening in this best documented in history, televised in 4K genocide. We should not forget, who kept denying this atrocity for so long. The western world seemingly forgave the media for lying the West into a war with Iraq 22 years ago and forgot. Now the so-called free press are proving to be as disgraceful today. No one should take any word they say seriously, if they blatantly go with the lies. Remember them. We have to hold them accountable.

P.S. There’s a broader point about not holding people accountable (e.g. Obama not wanting to prosecute the Bush administration) leading to today’s situation in the first place, but that’s a story in and of itself.

Compared to just five years ago, they have been more risky during this and last season. We’ve seen more standing starts for example and just a few weeks ago in Silverstone we saw a crash at Copse corner (Hadjar rear-ended Antonelli) because visibility was so bad. At Spa, after multiple fatal accidents at the same corner over recent years, yes absolutely they’d rather err on the side of caution.

Well… let’s see whether that intensity is raceable. If not, they won’t start they race for a while, since there is more of this rain coming after that from W-NW.

Edit: This is exciting. No sign of delaying the start. Rain will wind down a bit after the start, before picking up again. And maybe even with a short heavy downpour too. The drivers really have to prove themselves.

Oh yeah! You are right. Next year all the cars will open both their wings and a car that comes within 1s of another can deploy more electric power (350 kW IIRC) at higher speeds for a boost, but with limited energy per lap and at any point in the lap, so not limited to zones. Will be a totally different kind of overtaking or defending in the new formula.
