Palestinian Territory - Israel continues to ignore orders from the International Court of Justice (ICJ), including the Court’s most recent ruling. This ruling requires Israel to halt its military assault on the Rafah Governorate in the southern Gaza Strip and reopen the Rafah border crossing to facilitate the movement of people and humanitarian aid. In the 48 hours that followed the ICJ’s ruling on Friday 24 May, however, Israel conducted more than 60 air raids on Rafah.

Furthermore, dozens of artillery shells and constant gunfire were fired in areas of Rafah where the Israeli military was encroaching. Israel’s ground incursion began at dawn on 7 May and has since spread to the west and central parts of the city, mostly along the border strip. It has already impacted a significant portion of the city.

Thirteen Palestinians were killed in the 48 hours following the Court’s ruling, including six members of the Qishta family, an elderly mother and three of her children—two girls and one boy —and an adult son and his two children. The victims were killed when Israeli planes bombed their home on Saturday 25 May in Khirbet Al-Adas, north of Rafah, an area not included in the Israeli evacuation orders.

    cuz at nearly 90 and held together by cutting edge miracle drugs, he’s probably at least a little out of touch, and has no way of understanding how big the blunder is he’s making, and it’s far worse than Hilary’s decision to simply not campaign at all until it was too late.

    Because the democratic party should never have chased him in the first place, he said he didn’t want to and he meant it. But they couldn’t embrace new ideas and nobody can put a good face on the old ideas any more so they frankensteined up the monstrosity and affront to nature, man, and democracy we now see before us, and we coulda had Bernie Sanders, who would have risen to the occassion in stellar form and changed the course of history. Good job, DNC! Great system you’ve got down there, well and competently managed, to boot. /wrist

    But Trump is going to Hitlertown in a honky carriage, and if that happens EVERYBODY is probably fucked, so make the right decision, would you, please?

      Biden is doing genocide. We’re already in Hitlertown.

      This November is a choice between polite Hitler and rude Hitler. If you vote for this, the Democratic Party is going to learn one lesson: they can kill as many children as they want and not lose a single vote i.e. “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” If Blue MAGA wins, they will put me in a camp and you will vote for it because the other party would be ‘worse.’
