This is Israel's so called 'justice' system.

I'm confused. Why does this private citizen who recently made it clear in front of cameras and a packed book-tour audience that she's 'neither the president nor the vice-president', feel the need to weigh in on foreign policy or global events?

NEW

Former Vice-President Kamala Harris’ statement on the ceasefire deal.

“I am thankful and deeply encouraged that this ceasefire has brought long-awaited moments of joy and reunion - as 20 Israeli hostages are finally reunited with their loved ones and Palestinian families and the people of Gaza begin to receive desperately needed relief from unimaginable suffering.

Through diplomacy and persistence, today is an important first step toward a more hopeful future. I commend the leaders and partners whose efforts made this agreement possible, including the President and his team.

There is still much more work to do to secure a lasting peace, ensure the safety and dignity of every innocent life, and build a future where Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in freedom and security.”

People in the West need to start reading Haaretz when it comes to getting slightly more accurate news about Israel's crimes.

Israel is out. FIFA are hypocritical in their stances and didn’t kick the occupation’s football team, which is full of former IOF soldiers, from competing, so the Italian team had to kick them out themselves 💪

This won't surprise anyone who's been paying attention.

Israeli news report that after taking back their Israeli captives from Gaza, Israel now declares it will keep the Rafah crossing closed and reduce the agreed-upon humanitarian aid by half.

Israel's word is not worth the paper it's written on.

To fight for Israel you have to be a supremacist, someone who believes Jewish lives matter more than the lives of other people.

How many doctors in the West support someone like Dr. Soback, and what does that mean for the safety and welfare of their patients, colleagues and students?

Jakarta refused to grant them visas — the court ruled it can’t make a sovereign nation open its borders.

Three cheers for Indonesia 🇮🇩 👏👏👏

In light of all the paid pro-Israel influencers’ ‘Where are the women hostages’ posts, it’s a good time to remind every one of the craziest community note ever logged.

This is why ill-informed comedians, or news hosts, shouldn’t interview politicians.

Marc Maron let Obama get away with saying he didn't push single-payer because he didn't have the votes. In fact, at the time Obama said he opposed single-payer because it didn't "build on our traditions."

"I've never been discriminated against as much as in Israel."

This Dutch man lived in Israel during Saddam’s attacks in the ’90s, and was refused a gas mask because he wasn’t Jewish.

"It's a horrible country."
