ICC... hello... anybody home ???

Or yeah, I forgot, they are based in a NATO country and only prosecute countries that are fighting against the colonial world order.

Israel gets a free pass to violate every single humanitarian law in the open and in everybody's face.

Israel's military said its troops had fired toward a male "main instigator" who posed a threat by hurling rocks at soldiers.

In other words you didn't mean to shoot an American woman in the head, you intended to shoot a Palestinian in the head for throwing rocks. Thank you for the clarification.

There's been no confirmation on whether live ammunition was used or rubber bullets but other news outlets are reporting the use of tear gas and live rounds which is standard practice for dealing with Palestinian protesters.

Not the First and it wont be the last, IGF snipers are shooting Palestinian children on the head and the heart not just one but twice in the head according to surgeons and doctors in Gaza, " We have never seen anything like this in our entire medical career " said one British doctor

Unhinged IGF has been doing for years and no one is held accountable.

""A rise in violent attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians in the West Bank has stirred anger among Western allies of Israel, including the United States, which has imposed sanctions on some Israelis involved in the settler movement.""

And guess who is arming these Settlers??

No mention of Amado Sison, the American teacher from New Jersey shot by the IDF in August?

“My trust is in the movement and the people rather than politicians, because we see time and time again what they vote for. But at the same time, as an international volunteer that gets hurt by an ‘allied army,’ I would like for some kind of admission that they condemn it or something, even though nothing else happens,” Sison told me. “The money I pay in my taxes as a teacher probably funded the bullet they have run through me,” he said.

This article refers to tear gas and live rounds fired at the protestors.

The Track AIPAC website has now added a page for the UK, so British people as well as Americans can follow exactly which of their politicians have been bought by AIPAC and the Israel lobby in the UK.

Israel has built settlements there that most countries deem illegal

ALL countries, international bodies, law, judiciary and rights groups deem them illegal. Not "most."

Even the Israeli supreme court rules that the "settlements" are illegal.

Can we please stop using the white washed language pushed by Israeli propaganda? Call a spade a spade. They're illegal colonies.

Colonies built on stolen land with the express purpose of excluding the indigenous population for the benefit of Jewish people.

So again the JSIP militants murder a human rights activist, and like their murders of thousands of journalists, health care workers, children, and babies, it is being treated as if it was a rare accident rather than a deeply ingrained pattern of behavior.

As I said previously, and will no doubt have occasion to repeat, if all the times the JSIP militants have been caught outright and unquestionably lying, shown to be twisting definitions of words out of any resemblance to their legal and dictionary definitions, spouting conspiracy theories they insist are based on facts, only to be less able to produce any than Mike Lindell was can't stop you from treating them as credible, nothing will, except for a moment of mature ethical awakening.

The IDF specialise in carte blanche murder, let's be honest.

In a separate incident on Friday near Beita, in the village of Qaryut, a 13-year-old girl was killed by Israeli gunfire, Palestinian health officials said, after settlers attacked the village.

Thomson Reuters can't even be bothered to print her name, but it was Bana Amjad Bakr. 13 years old, shot in the chest while she was in her own home.

Not a big surprise considering their terrorist origins.

This Injustice can't go on forever, times are changing and the west will soon realize that Israel is a Liability and rein it in or the rest of the world will.

Am I correct in thinking that the Israeli political and military leadership is unhinged, mentally imbalanced and deranged? Either a ceasefire gotta happen quickly or something more drastic might be necessary to stop them.

There are too many people on both sides of this conflict who have no desire for peace, unless it is achieved at the expense of eliminating the other side.

Here in California there are many former Palestinians and former Israelis who fled the war zone, looking for somewhere saner to live. A Jewish friend told me he came here because, although he is a devout Jew, he strongly disapproves of the way Palestinians have been and are treated. A Palestinian business associate of my son-in-law said that he was invited by his brothers to return to Gaza and take part in the fighting, but he told them, "Why would I want to do that, when I have a business and good life here in California?"

Those who can leave, have. Those who stay and try to work to end the injustice are targeted for death by radical extremists on both sides. There are no easy solutions, only easy death.

The Harris/Biden administration have fumbled, incoherently heedless.

Any Israeli/Gaza/Palestinian policy approach has been divisive, lacking in any clear methodical realistic solution.

When Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress Harris failed to even preside as Vice President, choosing to sit it out in Indianapolis.

It has been reported that Harris was to communicate, one to one with Netanyahu.

“it is time for the war to end in a way where Israel is secure, all hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can enjoy their right to dignity, freedom, and self-determination.”

Whether such a conversation actually took place, has been left to conjecture.

For sure, Gaza/Hamas/IDF/Iran/Hezbollah are moving closer to all out war across the middle east.

Harris Biden still sitting on the fence, heads where the sun doesn't shine, brains in neutral.

Not going to happen with Thomson Reuters they are a Canadian company and like everything now in Canada speech is under government control, speak out of line of the Trudeau government position and risk, fines, arrest, even possible imprisonment.

Under Trudeau the threat of being hit with a " hate" crime over speech is real.

Boycott Israel movement was declared hate speech, Reuters has to thread a thin line along with other Canadian news organizations and the population.

Broadcasters have been threatened with removal of their licenses news organizations with removal of their accreditation.

The White House said it was deeply disturbed by the death of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi and called on Israel to investigate.

Only "disturbed"? And the distress so deep Biden and his people can't sleep? Well, it's no secret that we wear our inhumanity on our sleeves with boilerplate cliches and weasel words. After almost a year of violating every international law on the books with its crimes against humanity in Gaza and the West Bank, the "most moral army in the world" now has a backlog of (self-) investigations it would take a team of Methusalahs to work through, never mind the mountain of war crimes committed but buried by the hasbara of western MSM.

Addendum:

... the mountain of war crimes committed but buried by the hasbara of western MSM since the founding of the state of Israel.

The whole world including the people of U.S. know the US government is the main enabler of Israeli military killing innocent people, even the victim is a US national. Nobody should trust America anymore, she is biased and actively assisting with the mass human rights violation in Palestinians.

There were those who said the problem was 'both sides' in South Africa, but they proved to be either racist or ignorant or gullible (but universally wrong)

Obviously, anyone in a Palestine is fair game for an Israeli bullet…
