Top war-crimes court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas officials​

THE HAGUE (AP) — The world’s top war-crimes court issued arrest warrants Thursday for the leaders of Israel and Hamas, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing them of crimes against humanity in connection with their war that began more than a year ago.
The warrants against Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant focus on allegations Israel has used food as a weapon in its campaign against Hamas in Gaza, a charge Israeli officials deny. Experts have warned that hunger has become widespread across Gaza and may have reached famine levels in the north of the territory, which is under siege by Israeli troops.
The action by the International Criminal Court came as the death toll from Israel’s campaign in Gaza passed 44,000 people, according to local health authorities, who say more than half of those killed were women and children. Their count does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
Netanyahu condemned the arrest warrant against him, saying Israel “rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions” by the court. In a statement released by his office, he said: “There is nothing more just than the war that Israel has been waging in Gaza.”

President Trump's disgraceful oval office offense against the U.S., allies, Zelenskyy and the good Peoples of Ukraine may have distracted.
Trump is not the only high-handed, low-minded national leader making policies that kill humans. Remember Netanyahu?


By CARA ANNA / Updated 4:10 PM GMT-5, March 2, 2025
Israel has cut off the entry of all food and other goods into Gaza in an echo of the siege it imposed in the earliest days of its war with Hamas. The United Nations and other humanitarian aid providers are sharply criticizing the decision and calling it a violation of international law.
“A tool of extortion,” Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry said. “A reckless act of collective punishment,” Oxfam said. Key mediator Egypt accused Israel of using “starvation as a weapon.”
Hunger has been an issue throughout the war for Gaza’s over 2 million people, and some aid experts had warned of possible famine. Now there is concern about losing the progress that experts reported under the past six weeks of a ceasefire.
Israel is trying to pressure the Hamas militant group to agree to what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government describes as a U.S. proposal to extend the ceasefire’s first phase instead of beginning negotiations on the far more difficult second phase. In phase two, Hamas would release the remaining living hostages in return for Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza and a lasting ceasefire.

No word from the U.S.​

MSNBC accidentally tells the truth about what's happening in Palestine​

When a talking head walks something back and says the maps were wrong but doesn't explain how or why ...

"Last Thursday we showed a series of accurate maps detailing the Israeli extermination of the Palestinian people, after we went off the air we were informed that the truth is not what we are supposed to broadcast and that Israeli propaganda is what we are actually supposed to report"... "we apologize and will continue to only air Israeli approved propaganda, now forget you ever saw any of that..."

S2,
The MSNBC angle to this post / story is vexing enough. There's key detail omitted. "We were informed ..."? By whom? MSNBC management? Sponsors? The white house?

And while we're focused on that distraction, we're missing the story of the true destruction.


How can Israel coexist with a homicidal neighbor whose charter is that Israel does not have the right to exist?

Compound depressing.

Israeli press throw the USA under the bus.​

Trump says he was 'aware of' recent attacks on Iran but insists Washington was not involved militarily. He warned the US will respond if Iran targets Israel. However, earlier, the Israel press has already stated the USA helped coordinate the attacks and video footage has shown that Israel launched the first three waves of missiles from US bases in Iraq.

Who ya gonna believe???

Perhaps -finger in Trump's eye- might be more accurate.
Not sure why Trump would misrepresent such thing, unless he's so out of touch he thinks it won't be well known that Trump lied
again.

Thank you S2. I'd been wondering.

"Who ya gonna believe???"

I sincerely can't narrow this down.
I figured, if lucky, I'd live long enough to cavort about in the grump-mobile. BUT !
It seems like early onset to me. So the obvious question, am I prematurely horrid? Or are my reactions scaled fairly rationally to Trump travesty? (aka "second term")

"Who ya gonna believe???"

No body!
If they have a body, I don't believe them. Happy Father's Day

Greta Thunberg hits back at Donald Trump over anger management jibe​

Swedish activist battles U.S. president (again).


“I think the world needs many more young angry women, to be honest,” Thunberg said as she arrived in Paris after being deported from Israel.

By Elena Giordano
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg clapped back at U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday after he described her as a “strange” and “angry” person over her mission to deliver aid to Gaza.

“I think the world needs many more young angry women, to be honest,” Thunberg said as she arrived in Paris after being deported from Israel. “Especially with everything going on right now. That’s the thing we need the most of.”

Thunberg departed Tel Aviv Tuesday morning on a flight to France after Israeli authorities the day before intercepted a boat she was on bound for Gaza.

She was part of a mission .....

“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f–k they’re doing,” Trump said as he left the White House to fly to a NATO summit in Europe.

And you do Mr. President ?! You're in your second four year term as U.S. president, and you're still OJT.

In the real world, just because Trump says that there's a cease fire it doesn't mean that there really is one. The two sides have to agree.

Iran carries out wave of arrests and executions in wake of Israel conflict​

Iranian authorities have carried out a wave of arrests and multiple executions of people suspected of links to Israeli intelligence agencies, in the wake of the recent war between the two countries.

It comes after what officials describe as an unprecedented infiltration of Iranian security services by Israeli agents.

Authorities suspect information fed to Israel played a part in a series of high-profile assassinations during the conflict. This included the targeted killings of senior commanders from the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and nuclear scientists, which Iran attributes to operatives of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency working inside the country.

Shaken by the scale and precision of these killings, authorities have been targeting anyone suspected of ....

Iran can infer / attribute evil on anyone they like.

But whether true or not, Trump declared he had the targeting location for Iranian leadership.

We might hope Trump was bluffing.
If not, it's reason for Iranians to reverse engineer paths to identify possible / probable security leakers.

Trump is wreaking havoc with prospective future intelligence sources by flagrantly betraying the current ones.
