Wild—I was there in the room 25 years ago and among those applauding after the attempts by some countries, including the US, to kill the treaty failed. What a day. Now, the ICC is being tested like never before. It MUST investigate war crimes and genocide against Palestinians
@juliaioffe
Thank you for responding. There actually is consensus among international law practitioners that Israel exerts effective control over Gaza and is the occupying power as it controls all aspects of life—down to how many calories per person were allowed in (before 10/7)
@RitchieTorres
This is so sad to see a U.S. Congressman repeated these lies. I do hope you will educate yourself on how we got here. It is impossible to crush a people forever and expect them to accept it forever. 🤬💔
Hello

thanks for actually governing
@BernieSanders
rally but How did you give the first word to
@ZerlinaMaxwell
who has made her antagonism to Bernie clear. Or why didn’t you book a Bernie supporter to rebut her as she admitted she’s a Hillary hold over?
@juliaioffe
Under the Geneva Conventions, the occupying power is not permitted to wage war on an occupied population. To address attack’s emanating from occupied population, only law enforcement methods are allowed. So, no, it is not a legitimate “war”. But what is intl law good for, right?

@WendellPierce
Just awful! I propose: if audience member disrupts, actors should leave the stage until the person has been REMOVED from the theater. Then start the scene again. No actor should have to do this. And the audience deserves to see the show they paid to see.
@SusanSarandon
Decriminalize Women But not buyers and pimps. This is where the confusion comes in. “Sex Work” is neither sex not work. It is 98% of the time sheer exploitation of the most vulnerable women. Help them, not the pimps

Do you have to be QAnon to object to this objectification of young girls? I hope not, because if so liberals (I am one) will lose even bigger next time.

What endears me about
@BernieSanders
is how hard he works for the people—he literally is losing his voice because he can’t help himself from SPEAKING OUT for the most vulnerable among us. And Abby is mire concerned about his appearance. Ain’t that a metaphor for what’s wrong 🤬🔥

In other news, there’s rampant sexual violence against women and girls online and The Outrage Machine doesn’t seem to care. How ‘bout we start caring about this, ok people?! Because if we don’t care about this, we really don’t care about anything 🤷🏻♀️😨
I want everyone to stop now and look at this image of a Pornhub senior manager instructing a user NOT to report child abuse.
Now consider that Pornhub had ZERO reports to authorities of child sexual abuse cases from 2008 to late 2020.
Lock them up.

Georgia voter here. I voted for you. Why would you oppose this resolution? Why should Israel not be held accountable for human rights violations in its war on Gaza? American weapons are being used to commit war crimes and genocide 🤬
The Senate just voted 72-11 to kill

resolution to have the State Department report Israel's human rights abuses against Palestinians.
Senators voting not to kill it: Butler, Heinrich, Hirono, Lujan, Markey, Merkley, Paul, Sanders, Van Hollen, Warren, Welch.
@SecBlinken
@IntlCrimCourt
Key word: unfairly. If we want to talk about fairness, let’s look at how Palestinians are treated—unfair doesn’t begin to capture what’s happening to Palestinians and the US is doing NOTHING about it. You know this. Please change course and take FAIRNESS seriously
This is from October and still relevant. I never cease to be impressed by my boss...a man of profound integrity. “Carter's impeachment advice to Trump: 'Tell the truth...for a change' “
@WajahatAli
As a Bernie supporter I reject the hate and apologize. Bernie himself rejects this. People need to reflect on what this movement is about: human dignity and well being. Hatred and disrespect do not fit in with these noble goals. 🔥❤️

Hello
@SarahKSilverman
. Do you know why Palestinians actually voted for Hamas members in 2006 (last time elections were held)? If you can answer this question correctly then you may comment on this matter. Since you don’t, then maybe study up first?
In 2006, former President Jimmy Carter wrote the book: Palestine Peace Not Apartheid. The book contained both criticism and encouragement for those wanting peace AND justice. He chose the “A” word because of what he witnessed and the testimonies from Palestinians and Israelis 1x
"
@btselem
argues that by dividing up the territories and using different means of control, Israel masks the underlying reality — roughly 7 million Jews and 7 million Palestinians live under a single system with vastly unequal rights."

and my fellow liberals, reconsider your “sex work is a job like any other” position. This is what it produces. Is this the best we can do for women? I think not

Disgusting & heartbreaking case from the New Zealand so called Nirvana of prostitution legislation. Remember, not one man who used this girl will be charged for what he's done:
Former Chinese official/diplomat met with today said, "Every country thinks America has gone crazy. We benefit by doing nothing, other than appearing sane."
The new prime minister of Iceland is Katrín Jakobsdóttir: a 41-year-old democratic socialist, feminist, anti-militarist who says Iceland will expand its health-care system, "go farther than the Paris Accord" in fighting climate change and strive for increased gender equality.

we see that American government is basically a war machine - Only about a third of the FY2023 spending bill is for programs unrelated to military and law enforcement
Any Palestinian who celebrates the release of their political prisoners will be charged with terrorism under Israeli law.
This is why we call it an apartheid state.

Notice what he says at the end—that if the private sector doesn’t fix (which it can’t given perverse incentives) that “public” system in inevitable.” I interpret as “Warren Buffet concedes that Single Payer health care and elimination of private insurance are inevitable”

@AmiDar
I hope people begin to understand that ignoring and intensifying the horrific and brutal occupation for these many years is his fault too. He has wasted precious opportunities and time when Israel’s leadership should have doubled its efforts for peace. Like you said—catastrophe
We are heartbroken that family members, including the only child, of an NRC staff member have been killed in a strike near Rafah in South Gaza where they were seeking safety. Israel demanded people flee there for safety.
1/2
Proud to have worked with Jimmy Carter for decades. He’s one of the few US leaders to decry the systematic abuse of Palestinians by Israel. He was right in 2006 when he called it apartheid and was crucified for it. He was right. Too bad they ignored his exhortations for justice
This truly Great woman has passed on. Her contributions to the betterment and well-being of the whole world are immeasurable. Sending prayers and bottomless love to the Carter family 🙏🏼💔

And no candidate who won Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada has ever lost the nomination. First time for everything. If Biden and Dems want Bernie to drop out, they should 100% commit to introducing M4A legislation on day 1 of Biden admin—that’s if he wins against trump

I’m old enough to remember when Gingrich lit the match which engulfed the Clinton presidency in flames...up to his old tricks I see. The damage this one man has done is incalculable 🤬
"It will be impossible to win the war if we do not destroy Unrwa, and this destruction must begin immediately"
Earlier this month on 4 January, Noga Arbell, a former Israeli official, called for the destruction of Unrwa during a discussion in the Israeli parliament.
“If that’s your issue Inwould understand you want to support somebody else” Sonthere you have it folks.
@BernieSanders
is the only candidate who has made ending the occupation a priority
Yesterday, we asked
@CoryBooker
“Do you believe the Occupation is a human rights crisis for Palestinians?” He got visibly frustrated.
He admits: “If that's your issue I would understand if you want to support somebody else”
Looks like he’s choosing
@AIPAC
over the grassroots.
Women are punished more severely for fighting back than are the men who beat or assault them. Prisons around the world are full of women who fight back and the streets are full of the men who assaulted them.
Oh well, the pimp lobby is in full force tonight. I think I’ll call it.
I will dream of a world in which women have not been coopted to do the dirty work of sex trade profiteers. And a world in which no man or boy would imagine paying $ for access to another’s sex organs IMAGINE
Only Bernie believes that actual voters should choose the nominee. Everyone else is happy to hand the DNC and Tom Perez the cigar filled room to pick the nominee. Think about that.
Thank you
@DanielSeidemann
for your wisdom and persistence. As always, you ring the bell so that all who have ears can hear. We cannot say we weren’t warned. May justice and peace for all reign in our lifetimes 🙏🏼🥰
We have to be honest about the human rights crisis at our Southern border-we must be ready to hold previous Admins responsible for similar decisions, including Obama and including jailing kids as a deterrent. Otherwise we’re not credible advocates.

For 30 years, this has been the error—to see Palestinians as disposable and “manageable”. Even when they spoke the words of equality and peace, the actions never followed. It is complicity. It must change
FDR unveiled the Economic Bill of Rights in his 1944 State of the Union address.

Bernie energizes voters and can make persuasive case for progressive policies. Biden is too establishment —won’t work with the country anymore
@juliaioffe
Why are you highlighting this excerpt when the overall conclusion is that Israel exercises effective control? And that the ICRC has decisively ruled? It’s fine, like with climate change opinions, to note that some people find otherwise, but the conclusion is obvious in both
