The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli PM Netanyahu and Defense Minister, qnd whoever the fuck it is who's the head of Hamas. Israeli officials for crimes against humanity, IIRC. Now Netanyahu can't travel to any nation that signed the Rome Statute and recognizes ICC jurisdiction without fear of being arrested. So he's safe in the USA. And, ironically, Russia. Now our Congress is getting all huffy bc the ICC dares to indict one of our "friends"?

When the west cheered on Putin's arrest warrant, blowing past the ICC's jurisdiction, they (we) didn't realize the Pandora's box we were opening. Our diplomats and politicians ... they're clowns.

Global Outrage After Deadly Israeli Strike On Refugee Tent Camp In Rafah
Monday, May 27, 2024 - 10:00 AM

There have been widespread reports of a civilian massacre following a Sunday Israeli air strike on a camp for displaced Palestinians in the besieged southern city of Rafah, which the Gaza Health Ministry says killed 45 people, including women and children.

Israel says it is investigating the strike, amid widespread international condemnation and as horrific videos of the attack aftermath circulate widely, with Israel’s top military prosecutor calling the attack "very grave".

Major-General Yifat Tomer Yerushalmi said in a briefing the Israeli army "regrets any harm to non-combatants during the war" and that "The details of the incident are still under an investigation, which we are committed to conducting to the fullest extent."

The targeted area of the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood had been a recognized UN-run "safe zone" which lies about 2km to the northwest of the Rafah city center.

Incredibly graphic and disturbing social media videos show people burning in tents and rescuers carrying mangled and burned children's bodies. According to an eyewitness description:

Mohammad al-Mughayyir, a senior official at the civil defense agency, told AFP that at least 40 Palestinians were killed and at least 65 wounded in the Israeli strikes.

"We saw charred bodies and dismembered limbs… We also saw cases of amputations, wounded children, women and the elderly," Mughayyir said. Eyewitnesses told Reuters that tents were "melting" after the bombardment, burning people alive.


The Israeli strikes followed a rare Hamas rocket launch on Tel Aviv earlier the same day, which included at least eight projectiles, most of which were intercepted.

An international humanitarian organization, ActionAid, said it was "outraged and heartbroken" that the strike hit a tent area to a UNRWQ warehouses stocking "vital aid."

"The images coming from our partners of burned bodies are a scar on the face of humanity and the global community, which so far has failed to protect the people of Gaza. One of our own ActionAid colleagues narrowly escaped this atrocity, having left the shelter just a day before the attack," ActionAid said.

A Hamas statement called it a "massacre" and said the group also holds the United States responsible as it supplies Israel's military with weaponry.

The Palestinian Authority's (PA) Mahmoud Abbas charged Israel with deliberately targeting civilians. "The perpetration of this heinous massacre by the Israeli occupation forces is a challenge to all international legitimacy resolutions." He alleged the IDF was "deliberately targeting" refugee tents.

The high casualty event has elicited statements of condemnation from leaders across the Middle East and Europe, as well as from some Democratic Congressional members in the US. This has included EU foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell who demanded that the ICJ call for immediate ceasefire must be adhered to.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock's words were especially strong. "No Israeli hostage will be freed if more people now have to shelter in tents," Baerbock said. "International humanitarian law applies for all, also for Israel's conduct of the war," she added.

Against this avalanche of criticism, also at a moment of investigations and legal actions by both the International Criminal Court (ICC) and UN's International Court of Justice (ICJ) - both accusing the Israeli side of genocide - the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have pushed back, saying Hamas militants were in the area that was hit Sunday.

"The strike was carried out against legitimate targets under international law, through the use of precise munitions and on the basis of precise intel

Secret Israeli propaganda campaign targets U.S. Congress and public using fake accounts with AI content

The New York Times reports:

Israel organized and paid for an influence campaign last year targeting U.S. lawmakers and the American public with pro-Israel messaging, as it aimed to foster support for its actions in the war with Gaza, according to officials involved in the effort and documents related to the operation.

The covert campaign was commissioned by Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, a government body that connects Jews around the world with the State of Israel, four Israeli officials said. The ministry allocated about $2 million to the operation and hired Stoic, a political marketing firm in Tel Aviv, to carry it out, according to the officials and the documents.

The campaign began in October and remains active on the platform X. At its peak, it used hundreds of fake accounts that posed as real Americans on X, Facebook and Instagram to post pro-Israel comments. The accounts focused on U.S. lawmakers, particularly ones who are Black and Democrats, such as Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader from New York, and Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia, with posts urging them to continue funding Israel’s military.

ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence-powered chatbot, was used to generate many of the posts. The campaign also created three fake English-language news sites featuring pro-Israel articles.

The Israeli government’s connection to the influence operation, which The New York Times verified with four current and former members of the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and documents about the campaign, has not previously been reported. FakeReporter, an Israeli misinformation watchdog, identified the effort in March. Last week, Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, and OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, said they had also found and disrupted the operation.

The secretive campaign signals the lengths Israel was willing to go to sway American opinion on the war in Gaza.

6ixStringJack, does mental disability run in your family? Have relatives killed themselves, or bankrupted themselves, or lived under professional supervision, or ended their marriages for incompatibility? Long unemployment? Quarrels and vendettas? Alcoholism? Drug addiction? You know, not right in the head.

How an Israeli raid freed 4 hostages and killed at least 274 Palestinians in Gaza. The dead included 64 children and 57 women.

2:32 AM CDT, June 10, 2024

The rescue vehicle carrying the three hostages got stuck in the camp.

Palestinian militants armed with machine-guns and rocket-propelled grenades opened fire on the rescuers, as Israel called in heavy strikes from land and air to cover their evacuation to the coast. It was this bombardment that appears to have killed and wounded so many Palestinians civilians.

This Is the Carnage I Saw During Israel’s Hostage Rescue

I was on the road to the camp when Israel launched its raid — and saw the aftermath in a nearby hospital.

By Shrouq Aila | June 10 2024, 1:00 p.m.

This article includes graphic images of violence and death.

As we were approaching Nuseirat, I felt a pang of uneasiness. I told the driver, “I feel uncomfortable going there and I’m thinking of canceling the trip.” Suddenly, everything escalated rapidly.

Through the car window, I saw four helicopter gunships flying low and firing continuously. Artillery shells were landing nearby, seemingly at random. The sounds of explosions were incessant.

We were contemplating whether to proceed or turn back when a missile targeted the house next to us, and shrapnel flew over our heads.
