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. 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. ... Copied to Clipboard!

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.

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.

"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. --- Yes we're being condescending Yes that means we're talking down to you ...

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? --- ~we are a part of the process, not instigators of its progress~ ... Copied to Clipboard!
