This is what the decline of the American empire into authoritarianism, narcissist feudalism and the cult of ignorance looks like. All of this is on the home pages of the „NYT“ and the „Washington Post“ right now. None of this is normal. There will be lasting, massive damage.

European political leaders are beginning to change their retoric. They're now calling for an end to Israel's starvation of the people in #Gaza. Suddenly, things like sanctions are on the table. But...
Don't be fooled by this. None of the measures they're proposing breaks with the game Israel wants to play: a military-diplomatic dance of three steps towards towards anihilation of the Palestinians, and then one step back. Repeat.
A recent example. The Dutch government is now considering a travel ban into The Netherlands for Smotrich and Ben-Gvir. This is a pointless pirouette. A symbolic tap. The pressure this puts on Israel is that of a pebble, where we need them to feel the weight of a mountain. (In fact, Smotrich and Ben-Gvir should travel to The Netherlands: it's where the #ICC is.)
European leaders have not changed their minds substantially. Their intention behind the current 'pressures' and 'sanctions' is simple: to stop the growing civil unrest in European countries.
They're not trying to stop the #genocide, they're trying to defuse the popular uprising against the genocide.
Once you see it it's blatantly obvious.
Don't give them what they want. Rise up! ✊🍉

Quote by MEE, shorter version:
"Jul 16, 2025
“They will destroy you, and they will destroy the court”
MEE can reveal the details of a meeting in May between ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan and one of his colleagues, British-Israeli ICC lawyer Nicholas Kaufman, during which he was told to drop the case against Benjamin Netanyahu or face consequences.
Kaufman told Khan he had spoken to Netanyahu’s legal advisor and, according to a note of the meeting lodged on file at the ICC and seen by Middle East Eye, was “authorised” to make him a proposal that would allow Khan to “climb down the tree
But Kaufman warned that if the chief prosecutor applied for more arrest warrants, for far-right ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, then “all options would be off the table”.
Head to the Middle East Eye website to read the full report by David Hearst and Imran Mulla, which includes the full response from Kaufman."

A federal judge blocked on Friday the enforcement of #Trump's #ExecutiveOrder targeting those who work with the #InternationalCriminalCourt.
The ruling follows an April lawsuit by 2 #HumanRights advocates challenging Trump's Feb 6 order authorizing potentially far-reaching economic & travel #sanctions on people who work on #ICC investigations of US citizens or US allies, such as Israel.

In her ruling, US District Judge Nancy Torresen called the #ExecutiveOrder an #unconstitutional infringement on #FreeSpeech.
"The executive order appears to restrict substantially more speech than necessary to further that end," she wrote.
"The executive order broadly prohibits any speech-based services that benefit the prosecutor, regardless of whether those beneficial services relate to an #ICC investigation of the United States, Israel, or another US ally."
