“Systemic impunity creates an ultra permissive context where Israeli forces know no bounds and routinely shoot to kill Palestinian children in circumstances where there is no imminent threat to life."

“Unlawful killings of Palestinian children have become the norm as Israeli forces become increasingly empowered to use intentional lethal force in situations that are not justified. In short, these are war crimes with no consequence.”

(By the way, how many of the "investigations" have led to a criminal conviction to date?)

„Ten people, including children, were killed in a strike at a water collection point in central Gaza, according to health officials. Israel is investigating the incident.“

4 reasons political violence in #US is rising sharply

#Trump helped cultivate a culture of #impunity

It’s not just that he's convicted #felon whose 3 remaining #criminal cases were dismissed/suspended after re-election. Long before that, he famously proclaimed, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and #shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters."

2nd factor is past acts of #political #violence in US

Albanese’s report said the ICJ’s ruling “effectively qualifies the occupation as an act of aggression … Consequently, any dealings that support or sustain the occupation and its associated apparatus may amount to complicity in an international crime under the Rome Statute.”

He made a list of nearly 40 people who had been involved in his arrest or who had helped to search his home as part of the Jan. 6 investigation, targeting them for assassination, prosecutors said. Mr. Kelley also planned to attack an F.B.I. office in Knoxville, prosecutors said, using improvised explosive devices attached to vehicles and drones.

Even in a Justice Department that has often been pressed into serving Mr. Trump’s political agenda, the appointment of Mr. Wise to the weaponization task force was a remarkable development. His selection meant that a man who had urged violence against police officers was now responsible for the department’s official effort to exact revenge against those who had tried to hold the rioters accountable.

Ukraine rebukes Slovak FM’s call to ‘perhaps forgive’ Moscow

“Russia’s sense of #impunity is the root cause of its #crimes,” Sybiha wrote. “It’s naive to expect a criminal to stop if their crime is forgiven instead of punished. #Russia will hit your other cheek as well. And those who have lost no one in this #war have no right to make such statements.”

Le Monde · Israeli settlers, protected by the army, ramp up violence in occupied West BankBy Isabelle Mandraud

#China, unlike the #SovietUnion, is no one's friend. They will not drag themselves into a war. Certainly not if it's far away from their borders. #Russia, under Putin, was never ever anyone's friend. Whoever is counting on these two to challenge #US #Imperialism must know that they are unreliable as military partners.

#Iran is learning it the hard way. Cuba has a lesson here. It's also terrible news for all who wanted to stop the #impunity with which the US and #Israel operate.

Today in Labor History June 8, 1967: The Israeli military attacked the United States and got away with it. Israeli aircraft and boats attacked the USS Liberty during Israel's "Six Day War," killing 34 U.S. sailors and wounded 171. The U.S. government “investigated” the attack and issued a whitewashed report calling it an unfortunate mistake. However, witnesses and critics dispute this claim, calling it a deliberate attack by Israel to silence U.S. criticism of Israel’s war tactics. According to George Ball, undersecretary of state at the time, the attack set the stage for future Israeli policy by sending the message to Israel's leaders “that nothing they might do would offend the Americans to the point of reprisal. If America’s leaders did not have the courage to punish Israel for the blatant murder of its own citizens and soldiers, it seemed clear that their American friends would let them get away with almost anything."
