Yesterday, the US called Israel’s demolition of the meager possessions of one of the most vulnerable, destitute communities in the West Bank “a unilateral step exacerbating tensions”. Not the gross violation of international law and the moral abomination it is. https://twitter.com/barakravid/status/1357769065406869511

Today, it was ruled that the International Criminal Court has jurisdiction over Israeli actions in East Jerusalem and Gaza. The US is “concerned”.

Yesterday statement on Khirbet Hamas and today’s ruling are intimately related.

For years, the US and others have been whitewashing Israel’s violations of international law.

Well, when our allies absolve Israel of accountability, they assume responsibility for the criminalization of Israeli actions before the ICC.

Giving us a pass won’t work anymore.
