Sanctioning a UN human rights official for working with the ICC is abhorrent, period. Yep, this is still true if you disapprove of her calling for the ICC to investigate corporate actors for allegedly profiteering from facilitating Israeli atrocities in Gaza.
‘Significantly, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander (who is Jewish) & Mamdani cross-endorsed each other in the primary. It was, for me, an inspirational display of solidarity that is refreshing in an era of scorched-earth politics.‘

What is life like for one precocious 8 year old surviving the war on Gaza? Listen to Banias, the Narrator. Beautifully reported by This American Life’s @chanajoffewalt
On the radio this weekend: Banias is an 8-year-old kid living in Gaza. And she has a story to tell — many stories, in fact. bit.ly/3ZQ0jT9
.@JoaquinCastrotx: I wish y’all had been successful in getting a ceasefire. When you weren’t, I wish we'd used leverage with the far-Right Netanyahu govt the same way Reagan did, by withholding offensive weapons... What they’re doing has been inhumane & the world has seen it.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken faced sharp rebuke from Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro of Texas’s 20th District during his testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday. Castro accused Blinken of acting swiftly against Hamas but failing to…
.@lucyaharish: You said 2 words I never thought I'd hear together from you: "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza. Are we on the way there? Ya'alon: Why on the way? What's happening there? There's no Beit Lahiya, no Beit Hanoun & they're in Jabaliya, practically cleansing the area of Arabs
This is coming from former IDF chief of staff and defense minister Moshe Ya'alon, who during the Second Intifada talked about "searing the consciousness" of Palestinians. Ceasefire and hostage deal now!
Israelis overwhelmingly want a deal to return the hostages & end the Gaza war: 71% ✅, 15% ❌, 14% ❓. Among voters for Bibi's govt: 56% ✅, 24% ❌, 20%❓ Who wants to continue war & sacrifice hostages? Extremists (to build settlements in Gaza) + Bibi (keep power, avoid jail).
נתונים חד משמעיים: 71% מהציבור בעד עסקת חטופים תמורת סיום המלחמה בעזה. לא הפסקת אש - סיום המלחמה. בהמשך המלחמה תומכים רק חברי האגף המטורלל בממשלה שרוצים לבנות התנחלויות בעזה
There are many people in mainstream Israel who also blame Netanyahu for the ICC arrest warrants and not only the “antisemitism" and “anti-Israel bias” of the ICC. Alon Ben David, the Senior Defence Correspondent for Channel 13 is one of them.
