Absolutely horrific. From the first at Al Shifa: Human heads eaten by crows, unidentified and decomposing body parts, and hundreds of corpses piled up and buried in mass graves are all that remained of the victims of the massacre at al-Shifa Hospital. The ...
Absolutely to the point. He is also excellent on the history of the sovereignty of the Spratly Islands: Also, important reminder that the Americans told the Philippines at its independence in 1946 (the Philippines were an American colony) that the Spratlys...
Funnily enough, the US as the main organiser of the "containment" of China refuses to ratify UNCLOS. Also, UNCLOS has no ability nor authority to determine issues of sovereignty. Lastly, historically, it has always been the position of both France and ...
Israel is a state "that are no respecters of international law and human rights" Doctors returning from a stint in the only Gazan hospital still partially functioning, the Gaza European Hospital, say: We walked through the wards and immediately found ...
It is unlikely that Israel will leave well enough alone. They are up to their necks in blood already. The only path back to any sort of normalcy has answering the ICJ case of genocide somewhere on it. Israel will not willingly submit to this.
Absolutely Anne. Netanyahu understands that what he is doing is too much even for the West to digest. He understands that he will not get to carry through with his genocide unless he can do it under cover of a wider regional war that brings in western ...
Hmm.. Thats an interesting take that would put you in the minority. Most people would place the perpetrators of genocide as the psychopathic cowards
Stupid??! You may not realise the sanctity that embassies have always been blessed with. In international law (rather than the "rules based order") embassies are regarded as that countries territory. Historically, even during conflicts and war. Israel ...
I'm gobsmacked to think of what your "more deaths" means. Also, genocide does not mean complete eradication of a population. You do understand that the ICJ has determined that Israel has a case of genocide to answer? And that the killing in Gaza was at a ...
In fact, the opposite is the case. As with the whole world outside of Israel, repulsion of Israels actions in Gaza is the majority amongst US Jews and the younger they are, the more this horror is felt and expressed. What may dry up is money from the super...
Sadly, Israel would only agree to a temporary cease fire which goes to highlight their bad faith bargaining and intention to continue with their genocide after the hostages were released
The US seems to be getting the message that the brutality shown by their support of the Israeli genocide in Gaza is going to cost them dearly at the elections. First Schumer and now Pelosi. The deliberate killing of workers from a US NGO and the bombing of...
+972 Mag has done another bone chilling interview of Israeli "intelligence" operatives that shows a Gaza worse than the dystopia of a real bad nightmare. The IDF has passed over to an AI bot named Lavender the work of identifying Palestinians to be placed ...
It actually seems quite difficult to become immune to the latest atrocities comitted by the IDF since the depths they are willing to sink to continually, have the effect of a jab with a cattle prod. The latest is absolutely atrocious torture of Palestinian...
Absolutely right. It may seem that each individual protest is ineffectual but momentum is gathering. The US would not have abstained at the Security Council if Biden were not worried. There are now no longer any lesser evil arguments that he or his ...
That is very sad news. He will be missed
Absolutely. It is the same mentality that needed to wipe out indigenous North Americans and with them their property rights. It is absolutely an ongoing project and the same mentality that seeks to extinguish Paestinians and with them, their property ...
Oh right. Deadliest conflict for children in modern times but (insert excuse)...
Killed yes. Murdered, raped, tortured no. In the few short months of Gaza, six times more women and children dead than the whole two years in Ukraine. Constant reports of torture initiated by Israel keep emerging. Even of UN workers to extract confessions ...
You said I was only interested in the two poles. I assumed one was the genocidal Jewish leaders of Israel. The only others I mentioned were the Jews protesting??
I would not count Jews who protest Gaza as extremist. I would count them as ordinarily caring people. Most polls show a clear majority of people opposed to what is happening in Gaza. The exception is Israel where a clear majority support the destruction of...
Perhaps you could let us know a time when the Hamas rockets were not in retaliation to some terror comitted by the IDF or settlers. Also, the last time someone died from one of these rockets and then compare this with the children anually shot by IDF ...
I just watched the whole interview. CS deals with the issues well. She is definitely assertive and unwilling to back down as she correctly observes that this would be a betrayal of the world wide use of this statement in protests. CS also begins the ...
I'm assuming that you have a television? Or an internet connection? That you have been able to observe the slaughter in real time in Gaza? Many people in NZ, and especially followers of David Seymour and Christopher Luxon, find any public use of Māori ...
I would challenge you to show where Swarbrick has ever been anti Jewish. She is strident in her antipathy towards the Israeli govt and fully supports Palestinian rights. Many Jews, especially outside Israel fully support Palestinian rights which includes ...
Absolutely to the point. James will be missed when he goes
I believe that we still have Treaty exemptions, which Treaty explicitly includes the environment. It is a big reason why we are so lucky to have this Treaty and a big reason why Semour et al are so keen to neuter it.
Well, if business is unwilling or unable to insist on environmentally sustainable construction then the next Green Nz Govt will just have to insist that that capability is built back into a govt department where it can be nurtured and grown into an entity ...
That is a totally awesome response. The gloves are coming off on the green side too! What a huge relief
Ralph Nader writes: Just like the entire mass media, many governments, even the independent media and critics of the war would have us accept that between 98% and 99% of Gaza’s entire population has survived—albeit the sick, injured, and more Palestinians ...
All good Francesca.
