The International Criminal Court decision to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant is an important indicator of the solidification of international opinion against the openly genocidal state of Israel. At the end of the post, we have extracted the key section of the ICC’s press release. It describes how the basis for the administering the warrants is the systematic starvation, cutting off of electricity, and withholding of medical supplies to the population.

Among the many criticisms of the government’s response to the coronavirus that Nocera and MacLean outlined in their recent book, “The Great Failure,” is that public health officials were not quite on the same level as the American people. Health officials presented their claims with far more certainty than the evidence warranted. Returning to why the pandemic preparedness book, which took years of effort to create, has been of little help, Nocera and MacLean say: One of the key problems for public health officials trying to combat the new coronavirus has been that it is a different type of virus.…

Medicare for All is a prime example, but tuition-free colleges and post office banks also fall under this category. The same goes for job guarantees and debt jubilees. Clearly, neither liberal Democrats nor conservative Republicans can carry out such a plan. This is because both are neoliberalisms of different nature (“for the market”). I don’t really care about profiteering “isms”, but either way we need to…
