World News@lemmy.ml•Biden administration signals it will support push to hit ICC with sanctions
8·2 years agoExcept when the ICC announced Putin as a violator. Biden and Blinken were very happy and supportive of the ICC when that happened. The two of them even said at the time that the ICC has the international rule of law on its side and all signatories should follow its arrest requirements.

World News@lemmy.ml•Germany Is Seizing Jews’ Money Again: It’s fine, they’re pro-Palestine
2·2 years agoThis one in particular is owned by the public, meaning the Berlin state government can control who is on the board and appoints the advisory committee.
So, yes, it is essentially state controlled.

443·2 years agoHamas was not the one that killed her. And they weren’t using her as a shield whatsoever. Israel killed her AND targeted the ambulance they were fully aware was coming to save her, since they agreed to let it go and get her, but then killed the paramedics when they got there.

World News@lemmy.ml•Secret WhatsApp messages show co-ordinated campaign to oust Antoinette Lattouf from ABC
26·2 years agoABC journalists have threatened to walk off the job as the wrongful dismissal case launched against the broadcaster by radio host Antoinette Lattouf escalates.
Also on Wednesday, a federal Cabinet minister was drawn into the dispute.
About 80 employees at the ABC’s Ultimo headquarters in Sydney cited concerns of “outside interference” and issues in its handling of complaints against staff as the dispute escalated beyond Lattouf on Wednesday.
“MEAA media members at the ABC today called on managing director David Anderson to urgently meet with staff and address growing concerns about outside interference, culturally unsafe management practices and to stand up for journalism without fear or favour,” the media union posted on Twitter on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, secret texts from a private WhatsApp messaging group emerged, showing discussion between Lawyers for Israel members, including a call to action to pressure Anderson and ABC chair Ita Buttrose to sack Lattouf.
“It’s important ABC hears from not just individuals in the community but specifically lawyers so they feel there is an actual legal threat,” one message reads.
“I have basically written to them and told them I expect a proper response, not a generic one, by COB today or I would look to engage senior counsel.
“I know there is probably no actionable offence against the ABC but I didn’t say I would be taking one – just investigating one. I have said that they should be terminating her employment immediately.”
Another read: “Why is the ABC allowing this woman to host a radio show?” and a member responded: “Exactly, which is why we need to stamp it out.”

World News@lemmy.ml•‘It is a time of witch hunts in Israel’: teacher held in solitary confinement for posting concern about Gaza deaths
553·2 years agoTen days after that Facebook message, he was fired from his teaching job in Petach Tikvah municipality. Less than a month later he was in a high-security jail, detained to give police more time to investigate critical views he had never tried to hide.
Inside Israel, veteran journalists, intellectuals and rights activists say, there is little public space for dissent about the war in Gaza, even three months into an offensive that has killed 23,000 Palestinians and has no end in sight. “Make no mistake: Baruchin was used as a political tool to send a political message. The motive for his arrest was deterrence – silencing any criticism or any hint of protest against Israeli policy,” the long-established Haaretz newspaper said in an editorial.
I see no word to describe this other than fascism. Trump would love to have the ability to do this (and seems like he plans to with his “one day dictator” claim).

World News@lemmy.ml•Doctors accuse Israeli troops of desecrating bodies and shooting civilians at hospital Israel says was Hamas ‘command center’ | CNN
251·2 years agoThe existence and usage of bulldozers at the location was already confirmed and well known even during that time period. We just had no idea what the point of driving them there was. Since they wouldn’t exactly be useful for digging up claimed tunnels that were several dozen feet underground.
I suppose now we know what the actual purpose of them was.

















Also, that claim is hilarious, because the ICC prosecutor was a very strong supporter of Israel and an arguable Zionist prior to this. It’s actually why some are concerned he’s going to purposefully mess up this whole thing.
