Israel's war has always been a war on children. As long as there are Palestinian children there will be a Palestine.

October 7 was Netanyahu's excuse to pull out all the stops and go full speed ahead with its genocide.

Nothing justifies the deliberate killing of children. NOTHING.

Wow.

Uganda's Judge Julia Sebutinde on the International Court of Justice has consistently voted against every ruling the ICJ has adopted in South Africa's case against Israel under the Genocide Convention. (Including motions the Israeli judge voted for.)

As I'm not a lawyer, much less an expert in International law, initially I thought she was a contrarian, but expected her decisions would have at least some basis in International law.

I was wrong.

Public statements Ms Sebutinde is quoted as making in the linked article make a mockery of the “impartially"she swore to exercise as an ICJ judge:

"The Lord is counting on me to stand on the side of Israel. The whole world was against Israel, including my country.”

"She went on to say that she had a strong conviction that “we are in the end times”, and that the situation in the Middle East was among the signs.

“I want to be on the right side of history. I am convinced that time is running out,” she added. "

Dear American Friends:

CBC (Canada's public TV) is problematic, but despite various Conservative threats to eradicate it, I will do anything I can to prevent it, because it is extremely important for any free nation to have non-commercial media with which its peoples can communicate.

So I am horrified to see this is happening. My own first exposure to American public television was Sesame Street when I was a kid. So much brilliant educational programming has been produced, which is why I've donated to PBS when I could over the years. I can't begin to imagine the repercussions of this blow to American culture.

With all Mr Trump's other hits to the economy, it may be tough, but please donate/share if you can. If public media is allowed to die, reinstating it will be next to impossible.
