  • Norm on the Occupation of "Hamilton hall "

    Today marks a historic occasion. By seizing control of Hamilton Hall, students at Columbia University have anchored in historical memory the nexus between the horrors inflicted in Vietnam that was the hallmark of my generation with the horrors inflicted in Gaza that is the hallmark of the new generation. It is testament to the majesty of these young people that they have risked their futures for the sake of a poor, powerless people halfway around the world in order to uphold that sacred principle that every life is worthy and the murder of none shall pass in silence. As Abraham Lincoln famously quoted, “The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.” The right of the people of Gaza to live is an eternal truth. May the young soldiers in Hamilton Hall be honored and blessed for not countenancing, come what may, its extinguishment.


  • The US is preparing sanctions against the international criminal court in The Hague because of the arrest warrant for Netanyahu - Times of Israel Unprecedented in human history. Members of Congress have warned the International Criminal Court that they will retaliate if arrest warrants are issued against Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials. Speaker Mike Johnson: “If unchallenged by the Biden administration, the ICC could create and assume unprecedented power to issue arrest warrants against American political leaders, American diplomats, and American military personnel, thereby endangering our country’s sovereign authority.” Members of Congress from both parties are reportedly preparing legislation to sanction ICC officials unless they back down.

  • Finally !!!

    Berlin: The Berlin Administrative Court is calling on the federal government to explain the criteria according to which weapons are delivered to Israel without violating international law. (!!!)

    What is required is a description of the considerations underlying the previous approval practice as well as a concrete statement by May 15, 2024, as can be seen from a letter to the federal government dated April 26, which Junge Welt has received >since Monday. The background is an urgent application submitted by Berlin lawyers in February.

    The court therefore assumes that NO ARMS DELIVERIES to Israel that fall under the “War Weapons Control Act” will be approved until a decision on the urgent application is made, and is threatening an interim decision prohibiting these if the federal >government does not comply.

    The Relevant Paragraf is this it seems : https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/krwaffkontrg/__6.html

    "(Export is forbidden if ) There is reason to believe that granting the approval would violate the Federal Republic’s obligations under international law or endanger their fulfillment, "
