🗣️ 𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 @𝐍𝐎𝐖 ✍️ (from @MiddleEastEye) #OpEd Why Israel's Defence In ICJ Genocide Case Has Disintegrated by Peter Oborne / Irfan Chowdhury “Last week, Israel suddenly dropped charges against five soldiers accused of the sexual abuse andnian prisoner. This development was grotesque - all the more so, since there is no shortage of evidence. The soldiers were filmed as the atrocity was allegedly committed. As for the victim, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz has cited medical records showing that his injuries included a ruptured bowel, a severe injury to his anus, lung damage and broken ribs. In this article, however, we will not dwell on the moral squalor of the decision by Military Advocate General Itai Ofir to abandon the case. We will examine instead the consequences for Israel’s ongoing defence against genocide charges at the Hague. At the heart of the Israeli position is the claim that the country already boasts a robust and non-partisan legal system, and that there is thus no need for a body such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to interfere in its domestic affairs. British lawyer Malcolm Shaw set out this argument with admirable clarity when he defended Israel against South Africa’s charges of genocide at the Hague in January 2024. He told the ICJ: “Were it the case - which we deny - that Israeli forces have transgressed some of the rules of conflict, then the matter would be tackled at the appropriate time by Israel’s robust and independent legal system.” The implications of this statement from one of Britain’s most eminent lawyers are straightforward. If Israel possesses a “robust and independent” judicial framework, then there is no need for South Africa to ask the ICJ to uphold international law and redress the injustice of Israel’s persecution of the Palestinian people; Israel can be trusted to take matters into its own hands. If the claim is false, on the other hand, then such an international intervention is required as a matter of urgency.”

🗣️ 𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇�@� 𝐍𝐎𝐖 ✍️ (from @left_voice) #OpEd At No Kings: Let’s Flood the Streets to Demand the Abolition of ICE, Full Rights for Immigrants, and an End to the Imperialist War Against Iran “On March 28, No Kings and dozens of izations, and left-wing groups across the country are calling for a mobilization under the slogan: No ICE, No War, No Kings. This cannot be just another mobilization; it must be a historic surge of millions so that Donald Trump and the Epstein gang hear us loud and clear. Trump and the Far Right were defeated in Minneapolis by the massive grassroots movement that brought about the end of Operation Metro Surge and the firing of Kristi Noem as head of the Department of Homeland Security. The Epstein scandal has shown millions that capitalism and violence against women and children go hand in hand with the systematic oppression of the most vulnerable by those who rule the world. Further, it revealed that several leaders of the ruling class from both parties are responsible for the rape, torture, and trafficking of over a thousand women and girls. In this first year of Trump’s presidency, the rights of trans people have been trampled upon in a super-conservative offensive that demonstrates just how authoritarian and reactionary the Far Right’s agenda is.” 🛠️⬇️ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ - ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ᴏɴ ᴀʟᴛ⬇️🛠️

🗣️ 𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 @𝐍𝐎𝐖 ✍️ (from @jacobin) #OpEd There Was No “Right Way” to Attack Iran by Ben Burgis “When Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA director John Ratcliffe went before Congress last week, they were grilled about the war in Iran. The nature of the grilling was revealing, as many Democrats seem focused on impropriety or strategic errors in warmaking rather than the warmaking itself. Some Democrats pressed Gabbard and Ratcliffe about whether Iran actually posed a meaningful threat to the United States. Gabbard, in particular, was evasive on this point. She’s repeatedly said that it did not, but now she’s committed to staying in Donald Trump’s good graces, no matter the hypocrisy and humiliation involved. Other Democrats, though, only seemed to be concerned with giving the administration a hard time about how they’re waging the war. Did Trump understand that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz? If not, why not? Did he understand how extensive Iran’s retaliation might be against American assets in the Gulf monarchies? If not, why not? Did Gabbard and Ratcliffe not brief him appropriately, or did Trump just not listen? At times, the grilling seemed about as high-stakes as mid-level managers being dressed down in a quarterly performance review, where the company’s goals are taken for granted and only management’s competence is in question.” 🛠️⬇️ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ⬇️🛠️

There are zero cases where regime change was brought about by a conventional air campaign alone, and zero cases where a US ground invasion has achieved its aims without needless bloodshed and world-altering blowback. Iran won't be the first: jacobin.com/2026/03/united…
