https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveb...revent-icc-arrest-warrants-against-netanyahu/ Israel, US said working to prevent ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu Spoiler According to reports in several Israeli media, the United States is part of a last-ditch diplomatic effort to prevent the International Criminal Court from issuing arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials. In the news site Walla, analyst Ben Caspit writes that Netanyahu is “under unusual stress” over the prospect of an arrest warrant against him and other Israelis by the UN tribunal in The Hague, which would be a major deterioration in Israel’s international status. Netanyahu is leading a “nonstop push over the telephone” to prevent an arrest warrant, focused especially on the administration of US President Joe Biden, Caspit writes. Haaretz analyst Amos Harel writes that the Israeli government is working under the assumption that the ICC’s prosecutor, Karim Khan, may this week issue warrants for the arrest of Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi. The US, which, like Israel, is not among the 124 countries that signed the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, is already engaged in the effort to block the arrest warrants, according to Harel. Netanyahu’s latest public statement about the war said forthcoming decisions by the ICC could set a “dangerous precedent.” “We will never stop defending ourselves. Whereas decisions of the court in the Hague will not affect Israel’s actions, they would be a dangerous precedent threatening the soldiers and officials of any democracy fighting criminal terrorism and aggression,” he said on Friday.
There was a way to not have to actively repudiate Netanyahu and Israel while they face consequences, and we didn’t take it. In fact, we actively prevented it. Giant fucking facepalm.
There are two things I am certain to create a celebratory occasion for: -Husks winning a national championship -a conservative SCOTUS judge dying in office Of course neither of these will ever happen ever but without dreams, wtf would I have?
cant see a difference between the parties when it comes to international politics so who cares -- but i can see the clear difference with domestic issues. so i dont mind people going chud sometimes.
Yeah, exactly. "We can't say no to our Israeli masters who smoked 30,000 children (and counting) in 6 months, and we're going to hand the country back over to Don Trump because of it, who can we blame?"
Like you’ll get me to take the opinion seriously of a man who couldn’t beat Frank the tank in a debate
I'd be fine rooting for you for the former if the universe gives us the latter. Maybe Clarence and another one go Buddy Holly/Big Bopper in one of that rich prick's airplanes.
When their student visa classmates get deported they’ll also look to democrats to advocate for them. It’s a cycle that makes no sense but we’ll watch it happen in real time.
Fox paid 787* million for being a buncha fucking fascist enabling liars. Im sure they’re weighing what can be gained politically by this lawsuit. *generational wealth
by the time this makes it to trial the election will be over Spoiler and Hunter will have fled the country like the rest of the Democratic Party elites, leaving us rabble to fend for ourselves under Dear Leader 2.0
going to guess the guy that’s been under investigation by the house for the last 3 years ain’t worried about discovery
Maybe, but I don’t think more Hunter in the news is going to create more Biden voters. Why not wait until November?
The cycle I alluded to includes where Democrats are now, which is largely not doing anything. Students and Dems are traditionally allies and should currently be as well. I quoted a post pointing out it’s gonna be tougher to organize under a non Biden admin. So uhh ya, it’s becoming an inevitability that if Trump wins he’ll deport students and Dems will be the only ppl who (pretend to) care.
Expert Who’s Correctly Predicted Presidential Elections Teases 2024 Pick American University professor Allan Lichtman, who's correctly picked the winner in nine of the past 10 presidential elections, said "a lot would have to go wrong" for President Joe Biden "to lose" to former President Donald Trump in November during an interview with the Guardian published last Friday (April 26). Licthman, 77, who accurately predicted every presidential election excluding 2000 since 1984, still hasn't made his official pick, but acknowledged his 13 keys to the White House method, which considers whether "the incumbent party candidate is the sitting president" and "there is no serious contest for the incumbent party nomination," after Biden easily won in the Democratic primaries. “That’s two keys off the top,” Lichtman said. “That means six more keys would have to fall to predict his defeat. A lot would have to go wrong for Biden to lose.” Spoiler Biden was recently reported to be gaining momentum on Trump with the two tied in a Quinnipiac poll released last Wednesday (April 24). The current president is also reported to hold a 51% to 48% edge in a head-to-head poll among registered voters, as well as a 53 to 47% lead when only counting respondents who said they definitely plan to vote in the 2024 presidential election in November, in the latest Marist/PBS Newshour poll published on Monday (April 22). The poll was released one day after the latest NBC News poll revealed that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was actually hindering Trump's support more than Biden's. Trump leads Biden by a 46% to 44% margin in a head-to-head matchup, however, Biden (39%) leads Trump (37%), Kennedy (13%), Jill Stein (3%) and Cornel West (2%) when all candidates are considered to be options, according to NBC News. Additionally, 15% of respondents who picked Trump in the initial head-to-head poll instead chose Kennedy in the five-way ballot, while 7% who initially picked Biden instead chose Kennedy in the expanded poll. Earlier this month, a FOX News poll reported that both candidates were in a tight race in four key battleground states. The poll, which surveyed 1,100 registered voters between April 11-16, showed that the two candidates were tied in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, while Trump had a slight advantage in Georgia and Michigan, though both were within the margin of sampling error. The surveys also reported that Trump was "meeting or exceeding his 2020 vote percentages in the two-way race, while Biden trails his number," and that "more voters disapprove than approve of Biden's job performance by at least 10 points." Biden, however, still overperformed his approval rating as 10% of the respondents who claimed to have disapproved his job performance still preferred him in a head-to-head matchup with Trump, who holds a significant advantage over the current president in the poll on the topics of immigration and the economy. A New York Times and Siena College poll released in November 2023 reported that Trump led Biden by a 52% to 41% margin in Nevada, a 49% to 44% margin in Georgia, a 49% to 44% margin in Arizona, a 48% to 43% margin in Michigan and a 48% to 44% margin in Pennsylvania. Biden reportedly had a 47% to 45% edge over Trump in Wisconsin at the time. The latest New York Times/Sienna College poll released last Saturday (April 13) also showed that Trump had an early polling advantage by a 47% to 46% margin.
United States of America: UN Human Rights Chief troubled by law enforcement actions against protesters at universities https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-rele...rights-chief-troubled-law-enforcement-actions
I guess in the summer of 2016 it would have been a surprise. By the end of October and Comey's letter, it was clear Trump was going to win.
