Except 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.
That’s precisely why I consider conflating anti-Zionism as anti-semitic is itself anti-semitic. Because it is Zionists trying to tie the Jewish identity and Jewishness as a whole to everything Israel does. Which is just insulting to all Jewish peoples.
So, they just have to let themselves be blown up and shot and fighting back is illegal?
I’m talking about right now. For example, for the people in Rafah. Do the Palestinians in Rafah have the right to fight back against the IDF that is shelling them and attacking their homes with tanks?
Question: Is it appropriate for those civilians to get weapons and fight back against the IDF that is killing them?
He didn’t need to order is specifically. He was kept in prison in terrible conditions and died because of that. The outcome of his dying was still what Putin wanted (or at least didn’t care if it happened). No orders required.
This sort of reporting and claims from the intelligence community feels like obfuscation by using a technically true statement, but irrelevant to the overall issue.
It should be noted that this is just a method to determine the amount of infected cows. The milk itself isn’t a threat to anyone. Virus fragments in themselves can’t do anything, they’re just a sign of the original cow problem.
Call out anyone that tries to fearmonger about the milk being dangerous.
It certainly is more mask off this time around. They aren’t trying to hide behind euphemistic slogans like “ethics in game journalism”. Now they are just blatantly open about their anger that women and minorities are being represented in games and how that’s a bad thing.

ABC 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.”

Ten 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).
Regulation and price caps are much better than unregulated drugs getting pumped into the market.
It was an incredibly dumb idea and anyone who knew anything about regulatory markets and pharmaceutical drug importation pointed out that it was a terrible plan.
You’re really trying to cover for Bernie too much. When it comes to a number of topics, he isn’t actually that smart and doesn’t know how the law or governmental systems work. He’s been called out for that going back decades and he just uses his big sound bites about the big banks and big pharma to distract from him not actually having any of the actual specifics on how to enact things, just the big plan to do so somehow.
Also, this sort of unregulated drug importation plan rather consistently results in fake drugs and low performing drugs being supplied by any company that can get away with it.
The same thing happened a while back when Bernie Sanders was pushing a similar unregulated importation of cancer drugs, which had already prior to that had an entire batch of placebo drugs get through customs. Cory Booker pointed out this issue, but Sanders (and his stans) claimed Booker was just shilling for Big Pharma by…wanting to regulate Big Pharma.
In Germany, debate rages over a state policy to support Israel, no matter what
As Gaza is bombarded by Israeli forces, a polemic is raging in Germany over a state policy that makes criticism of Israel blasphemous because it’s seen as antisemitic.

I mean, I’m fine with that. That seems like something that should have been done a while ago.
It’s when they try and extend such things to saying any criticism of Israel is illegal, like what Germany is trying right now.
They seem to be making many mistakes, frequently, always in favor of killing journalists or the family of journalists. Especially those connected to Al Jazeera.
This was a drone strike, how is it not precise? It was directly controlled and manned by the drone operator and the journalist vehicle was targeted by the drone.
And this was a drone strike, meaning it was targeted and controlled on what was being hit.
So the bullshit from the IDF at the end of the article is just that, bullshit.
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.
