It won't amount to shit, but I just thought I'd post that both Georgia senators voted against sending more weapons to Israel.

Ossof is up for reelection in 2026. I hope we can send him back.

Personally, I think it's wrong for countries to announce that they're going to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant.

Don't fucking warn them.

If it were in charge, I'd be like "Hey, Bibi you're the lucky winner of two free superbowl tickets. We're gonna need you to come pick them up"

The apartheid intensifies.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/coalition-lauds-end-of-administrative-detention-for-settlers-opposition-its-dangerous/
Defense Minister Israel Katzs decision to end the use of administrative detention against Israeli settlers who are suspected of carrying out violence in the West Bank was welcomed Friday by right-wing politicians as the end of a draconian and unjust practice against law-abiding citizens, as opposition lawmakers decried it as dangerous and approval for Jewish terror.
Katzs announcement means Israel will now be using the controversial policy of administrative detention, the holding of suspects without charge or trial, solely against Palestinian terror suspects. The measure sees individuals held without charge for up to six months at a time. The detentions can be renewed indefinitely while allowing military prosecutors to keep suspects from being able to see the evidence against them.
While the practice is primarily deployed against Palestinians, it was also used against some extremist Jewish Israelis, which has drawn increasing criticism of the ruling Likud party by far-right coalition members.
A bill sponsored by Rothman which would forbid the use of administrative detention or administrative restraining orders against Israeli citizens, unless they are members of a certain list of terror groups is currently making its way through the Knesset.
The bill I submitted was intended to clarify exactly the basic values of the State of Israel and the necessary distinction between an enemy and a supporter, he tweeted.

Okay, so what do you call the far right terrorists who broke into a military base because one of their own was arrested by Shin Bet officers wearing ski masks?
What about the Ultra-Orthodox Hassidic rioters who throw rocks at and assault police and IDF officers (and never get shot for it) because they are furious about the possibility of being drafted? How about the violent settlers who attack Israeli activists, including Jewish ones, for filming them?

That said, and I shouldn't need to clarify my stance, but this administrative detention shouldn't even exist -- not for Israelis, Palestinians, or even foreigners.

Yeah, seriously. Plus it's a good way to keep them from visiting your country at all. In order to arrest Bibi, you still have to permit him to enter your country. Democratic countries shouldn't allow any war criminals to step foot on their soil, ICC arrest warrant or no. But alas, not a single nation has such principles.

One of the biggest issues of the ICC is how goddamn hard jurisdiction is already. There's a not-invalid complaint that the majority of prosecution are just African nations, because they tend to be some of the few who turn their war criminals over to the ICC.

Which sucks because it really does establish they only hold much power over poor, Black nations. For this to happen in Israel, you'd probaby need a coup against Netanyahu and for the incoming government to see him extradited. Which is just not gonna happen.

They invented a new unit of measurement to describe it: 9/11s. October 7th was apparently 15 9/11s.

I wonder how many 9/11s the current genocide in Gaza is? I guess it depends if you use the dramatically undercounted "official" number of ~43,000 or one of the estimates from Lancet (for example) which have the death toll into six figures.

Someone actually did calculate this months ago and said that if October 7 was 15 9/11s then Israel's killing in Gaza was the equivalent of 900+ 9/11s. It was like the equivalent of one 9/11 every 5 days in Gaza for about 6 months. That was ages ago so I don't know what the number would be now.

Ceasefire with Lebanon seems to be close:

Netanyahu says he is ready to implement Israel-Lebanon ceasefire

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday he was ready to implement a ceasefire deal with Lebanon and would respond forcefully to any violation by Hezbollah, declaring Israel would retain "complete military freedom of action".

In a television address, Netanyahu said he would put the ceasefire accord to his full cabinet later in the evening. Israeli TV reported that the more restricted security cabinet had earlier approved the deal.
The accord, clearing the way for an end to a conflict that has killed thousands of people since it was ignited by the Gaza war last year, was expected to take effect on Wednesday.

"In full coordination with the United States, we retain complete military freedom of action. Should Hezbollah violate the agreement or attempt to rearm, we will strike decisively."

Idk this seems vague. I'd want to see the full terms.

Will this actually leads to a cessation of hostilities along the Israel/Lebanon border? Or will it return to pre-October status quo where both sides are firing at each other and the IDF just withdraws ground troops? A number of questions here.

And of course, most notably, none of this pertains to Gaza, where the genocide continues without interruption.

It does not appear Hezbollah has agreed to ceasefire yet. A ceasefire isn't just something one side of a conflict can unilaterally declare.

If Netenyahu is framing this as a done deal then:

Honestly, given their history it's a bit of an "I'll believe it when I see it", but fair to say that an entirely new candidate (not connected to the existing ones) should at least be given a fair chance.

I was wondering why Israel was suddenly open to a ceasefire. France's ICC threat was most likely their bargaining chip to force Netanyahu into a deal. I guess we can take this as more proof that Israel always had Biden's tacit approval of their war crimes in Gaza.

According to Israeli IDF spokesman Israel are "enforcing the ceasefire" by continuing to shoot and bomb Lebanon. lol.

Did Hezbollah even agree to this ceasefire yet? Or was this unilaterally announced and imposed by Israel for PR purposes knowing that it hadn't been agreed by Hezbollah anyway? so they can carry on bombing Lebanon while claiming that it's the other side's fault? There's no chance of Israel pulling its ground troops out of Lebanon, right? Even with a ceasefire are the IDF expected to maintain military presence/occupation of southern Lebanon? All of this is too confusing to me. It's hard to find any of the details since mainstream media are always so vague and sketchy when it comes to reporting the actual terms and conditions of any of these agreements.

The other thing is fighting Hezbollah is a very different prospect to fighting Hamas. I've heard that Israel's losses so far in Lebanon are something like 95+ soldiers killed, 900 wounded, 42 tanks destroyed. Yet mainstream opinion in Israel still seems to be against a ceasefire in Lebanon.

The whole point of Israel's war against Lebanon was to somehow "decouple" the conflict with Hezbollah from what Israel is doing in Gaza, so Israel could be free to focus on their genocide against Palestinians without Hezbollah interfering. I'm assuming this objective has not been reached?
