Ceasefire or no ceasefire; scam or no, we cannot allow Israel to escape the legal consequences of their war crimes. The Hind Rajab Foundation has, among other things, filed a case with the ICC against 1,000 Israeli soldiers for war crimes in Gaza.
They have taken further steps in recent days, and vacations are becoming a lot more difficult for IDF soldiers, worldwide. The Foundation can use our help. Please join me in making a contribution. https://buy.stripe.com/cN228hbY5g7jaM84gg
The recent interview that Glenn Greenwald did with the head of this organisation is very informative.
We need to get the entire Biden administration charged under 18 U.S. Code § 1091, the statute that incorporates the Genocide Convention into US criminal law. Members of this administration shouldn't go a single day without having this statute in their faces, up front and center, at every protest, at every meeting, press conference, briefing, and trips home and abroad. Let them consider what is looming, now, as they are about to leave office. They should have visions of prison all the days of their lives. Let us find the way.
Perhaps Microsoft should be added to the list of culpable parties which also should be charged.
The ceasefire is Trump's deal, or at least he believes it is. If the deal makes him happy, he'll want to see it continue. If he gets more good feelings from those supporting the ceasefire, than those who are unhappy with it, we can pretty much count on which side a narcissist will favor.
We need to encourage an on-going campaign to send praise, along with "thank yous" to Trump, on Inauguration Day and every day thereafter. Let him feel the love. He may decide he likes it. Encourage the idea of him deserving a Nobel Peace Prize, because he will have earned it, unlike Obama. We have turned out millions to protest this war. Can we turn out to save this ceasefire and the people of Gaza? It's a question with an unknown answer as of now.
Flattery has never had a higher calling. We owe it to Gaza, to humanity, and even possibly to Trump, to give it our best try.
I am asked and respond today at Dropsite News, that we boycott advertisers at X and Fox News. My response is an ask that we have lists of those advertisers. Also, if we can measure the depth of a boycott, that is a recast of the Trump "mandate."
Now I see wider opportunity in recasting the Democratic Party as oppositional to Zionist/ Trump madness. Shall we try to harm Microsoft in visible added support of its competitors? Will Apple stand on that other side regarding the fate of Palestinian people now fully-dumped by Trump?
The involvement of American business in foreign militaries is terrifying. But we must always remember that war is big money. Prior to American entry in WW2, many corporations supplied the Nazi war effort. General Motors and Ford were essential in the Nazi invasion of Poland and Russia, and they began the conversion to making military equipment in Germany while they were still resisting it in America. There is evidence they both used forced labor. After the war, they both sued the US for bombing their factories in Germany during the war. We don't seem to learn from our mistakes, the tech companies, and almost certainly every other big company that sees a profit, are simply repeating history.
It has become increasingly apparent that ALL of the major tech companies are a threat to human rights and democracy. I'm not sure what we can do about it since they seem to have infiltrated every aspect of American society.
So depressing and Trump, his son in law Jared Kush.., Steve Witkoff and Netanyahu now what to develop Gaza to sell to Israeli settlers. Trump is currently sending 2,000 lb bombs to Israel, bombs that Biden banned because they were so destructive. These people together are going to commit mass atrocities and murder in a much wider way, just so they can grab the land ‘oceanfront property’

Anything or anyone whose effort brings an end to a wholesale killing of civilians needs to be given due credit.
now, what kind of action can be made/taken ?

Wasn't IBM also one of the early supporters of the Third Reich?
That shows, if nothing else, the main reason for U.S. support of Israel in all matters. How to work around profit, profit, profit? Very depressing.
Fantastic reporting. Thank you.

It is just how deep in bed with Israel ALL these tech giants are seems like Treason to me.
