The olive harvest season in Palestine has always been a joyful occasion of community celebration & communion with nature, in addition to being a major source of income & national wealth. With the Israeli Jewish terror in the West Bank, the uprooting & burning of trees, the theft of the olive crops, & the violence against our olive pickers, this season has turned it into one of fear, pain, deprivation & total uncertainty.

With Netanyahu's visit to the White House today, a reminder: US authorities should respect human rights and the rule of law. PM Netanyahu should be arrested and tried by the International Criminal Court.
The image is a poster with a photo of a Benjamin Netanyahu. Text at the top reads, "Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu." Below, it states, "Wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity." The word "WANTED" is prominently displayed in large letters over the photo. At the bottom, it says, "Wanted by the ICC," with the Amnesty International logo in the corner.

Marco Rubio has promised a frontal assault on the International Criminal Court. He plans to highlight “the risks posed to Americans”. What he really means is the risk that Trump officials might be brought to justice for war crimes committed in ICC states. trib.al/mpmxMK0

Why does the US want to ‘dismantle’ the international criminal court? | Kenneth Roth

Marco Rubio has offered nonsensical rationale in attacking the court. The Trump administration’s real goal is impunity

Gravely concerned by reported decision of Israeli security cabinet to authorize a series of administrative & enforcement measures in the occupied West Bank. I call on Israel to reverse these measures & on all to preserve the only path to lasting peace: a negotiated two-State solution in line with international law. un.org/sg/en/content/sg/stat…
