Palestine’s ICC bid is only as threatening as Israel makes it
Instead of reviling Palestinian accession to the International Criminal Court as an effort to delegitimize and isolate it, Israel would be better off focusing inward. By Emily Schaeffer Omer-Man One of the more ironic aspects of Israeli opposition to Palestinian accession to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) is its deep involvement in…

Israel’s High Court chooses occupation over international law
In at least two major decisions, Israel’s top court has shown it is prepared to uphold grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention amounting to war crimes, and to give its implicit endorsement to unlawful discrimination.

Not even a ‘bump on the wing’ these days when killing Palestinians

Gaza dispatch: When tanks shell refugee camps
In Jabaliya sustained Israeli shelling has obliterated entire families, leaving them homeless and with few options to rebuild. Scenes of destruction abound along Gaza’s eastern border.

Photos by: Basel Yazouri and Anne Paq/Activestills.org Text by: Ryan Rodrick Beiler The most commonly cited statistic from Gaza is the death toll, now rising past 1,814, according to UN figures.
