Κι αυτό, παρά το ένταλμα σύλληψης του Διεθνούς Ποινικού Δικαστηρίου, το οποίο υποχρεώνει την ελληνική κυβέρνηση να συλλάβει τον Νετανιάχου για εγκλήματα πολέμου στη Γάζα.

"In the dark halls of the museum that is now what remains of Auschwitz, I see a heap of children's shoes, or something like that, something I have already seen elsewhere, under a Christmas tree, for instance, dolls I believe. The abjection of Nazi crime reaches its apex when death, which, in any case, kills me, interferes with what, in my living universe, is supposed to save me from death: childhood, science, among other things."

@disisdeguey Efectivamente, el texto completo del artículo deja más en evidencia al gobierno español que el título del mismo, que puede desorientar un poco. Yo también denuncio a gritos esta demora injustificada y de lavado de cara. De nuevo una actuación cobarde e hipócrita del España. Ojalá la Historia también nos juzgue.

Huge rallies take place in Argentina in support for Palestine en.mehrnews.com/news/234298/Hu…

I’ve seen resounding condemnation from countries and politicians against Bob Vylan for chanting “death to the IDF,” yet virtual silence from them against Israeli occupiers killing a U.S. citizen in the West Bank and Israeli military in Gaza shooting Palestinian teen boys in their testicles.

When empty chants from a harmless musician offend you more than literal war crimes from a nuclear power then you’re not protecting peace you’re enabling genocide.

“My inescapable conclusion has become that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Having grown up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of my life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and spent most of my career researching and writing on war crimes and the Holocaust, this was a painful conclusion to reach, and one that I resisted as long as I could. But I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one when I see one.

The continued denial of this designation by states, international organizations and legal and scholarly experts will cause unmitigated damage not just to the people of Gaza and Israel but also to the system of international law established in the wake of the horrors of the Holocaust, designed to prevent such atrocities from happening ever again. It is a threat to the very foundations of the moral order on which we all depend.”
