The allegations being examined are that Khan retaliated against staff who reported allegations of sexual misconduct towards a female lawyer reporting to him or were critical of his handling of the matter, say three sources with direct knowledge of the UN investigation.

UK Lawyers for Israel says use of inaccurate data, inconsistent methodology, potential bias led to false assertions that were utilized by ICC when charging Netanyahu with war (sic) crimes. A review conducted by the UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) organization into allegations by international famine review bodies that famine and severe malnutrition were widespread and prevalent in Gaza during the war between Israel and Hamas has found that famine did not break out in the territory according to the figures of the very organizations making the claims.

United States: St. Martin's Press, p.38By 1905 the West had liberated its territory previously conquered and savaged by Islam, and declared an economic and military victory, thus marking the end of 1400 years of Islamic rule and Jihad.

The number of civilians reported killed in the Gaza conflict has been exaggerated to depict Israel as deliberately targeting innocent people, according to a new report cited by The Telegraph on Saturday. Researchers say the Gaza ministry of health inflated casualty figures by including natural deaths, failing to distinguish between civilian and combatant casualties, and over-reporting fatalities among women and children. According to the study by the Henry Jackson Society think tank, these figures have been manipulated by Hamas-run authorities in Gaza for propaganda purposes, with international media often repeating the claims without scrutiny. The report highlights that, based on...

Poison Fruits of Hatred Targeting Jews outside of IsraelNo Zionists are aiming at Arabs non terrorists. And of course nor are Arabs, Muslims and mosques attacked outside of Israel by them. But random Jews, places of worship have been, are being attacked by Arabs. Muslims.

But this, again, like fascist Arabs taunting Haredi Jews in Jerusalem, proves, everything is about bigotry. Muslim lobby bloc OIC's slave: UN and some...

Joe Scarborough is notorious for his incessant Trump = Hitler analogies. Now, for purposes of smearing Benjamin Netanyahu, Scarborough has devised an analogy to another mass-murdering dictator. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough began by claiming that Netanyahu "had a plan to force famine on the Palestinian people, on the Gazan people."Scarborough then upped the ante, claiming that Netanyahu's plan is "calculated, and let me say, it's calculated just like Stalin's starvation of Ukrainians was calculated. This is calculated by Benjamin Netanyahu."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban said Friday he would invite Benjamin Netanyahu to visit his country and that he would guarantee that an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against the Israeli prime minister would "not be observed."

Ireland's prime minister Simon Harris said Friday that his country would be prepared to arrest the Israeli prime minister if he came to the country. “We support international courts and we apply their warrants,” Harris told national broadcaster RTE when asked if Netanyahu would...

America must stand with Israel against the ICCAs Israel defeats its enemies on the battlefields in Gaza and Lebanon, the intifada has gone global. The fronts of the war against the Jewish state encompass America's cities, the United Nations, the U.S. Senate, and the International Criminal Court. Marches, resolutions, embargoes, arrest warrants—these are the tactics by which Hamas sympathizers worldwide intend to isolate Israel diplomatically, undermine Israel's war against terrorism, and intimidate the Jewish people.Only one response is appropriate. America must stand in the breach. America must provide Israel with the cover and support it needs to cripple Hamas and...

Actions have consequences. President-elect Donald Trump’s team is acting on that ethos and preparing to challenge the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague with sanctions after it initiated arrest warrants against Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

The move came after President Joe Biden back in May revoked Trump’s original executive order against the ICC. ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, who faces sexual misconduct allegations, initiated...

Justin Trudeau chooses to side with the ICC and Hamas against Israel.. He does so standing next to Chrystia Freeland, whose grandfather was a leading Nazi in his day. History echoes. ... Freeland's Chomiak grandfather was a prolific antisemitic propagandist during the war.
