A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
How does this actually play out in practice? If we believe all the NATO bluster about their holy article 5, an attack on Netherlands would mean the rest of NATO has to come to the aid of the Dutch. So the US would come to aid the country it's invading?
But of course it wouldn't play out like that, as article 5 is only meant as a causus belli to attack the US' villain of the week.
If it played out, I imagine the Dutch govt. would cave like the good little puppets they are, and try to claim the US was "invited" or something if they couldn't cover it up.
article 5 applies to internal wars within NATO?
I doubt it, I just found the contradiction funny. It's just a microcosm of the international rules based order: do whatever the US says.
They should call their bluff.
"US politicians" is a very broad term for the 12 senators that said this
Didn't both parties back it?
The source in the video states:
On April 24, a dozen Republican senators sent a threatening letter to the ICC prosecutor. The media outlet Zeteo obtained the document.
I am not American and do not know how trustworthy these news outlets are. But to me it looks like an empty threat.
