That’s a clickbait tweet caption that belittles the significance of what Marc Lamont Hill actually did.

He criticized Black pastors and Black Christians SPECIFICALLY, for being hypocrites letting Joe Biden come to a BLACK Church with a history of oppression and not hold his feet to the fire for committing atrocities in Palestine and not siding with the protestors.

That’s why them DEVILS are speaking to the latent racist in liberal white ppl.

By all means pushing the fear campaign that:
“lsrael is the last stand against the invasion of Europe.”

Nothing triggers the inner racist in liberal white ppl like fear of BIPOC.

Every racist politician understands this, that’s why
fear of BIPOC is their #1 tactic to gain votes.

1/3. A criminal complaint filed against Israeli President Herzog for war crimes is in the Office of the Swiss Attorney General (OAG). Herzog was informed of the charges while attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, yesterday. Those filing the complaint against Herzog believe that the evidence for these charges is largely contained in the materials provided by South Africa for its case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

The ICJ addresses issues concerning the **State of Israel** , not individuals who may have personally committed war crimes. Prosecution of war criminals is a separate process that may occur in a National Court, a a Tribunal, or the ICC. Those filing this complaint seek to try Herzog for crimes against humanity in parallel to the ICJ case, given the level of atrocity happening in Gaza.


2/3 What’s this case against Herzog? Switzerland? ICJ, ICC HUH?

This case is not with the ICJ or ICC. It is being brought in Swiss courts, so...

What right does Switzerland have in terms of prosecuting Israel?

Several international treaties, including the Geneva Conventions of 1949, have been signed by both Switzerland and Israel. This allows for something called 'Universal jurisdiction.' Universal jurisdiction allows any country that is a signatory to the treaty to file charges against individuals, regardless of their nationality or where the crime took place, if the crime is recognized under international law as a crime against humanity.


If Switzerland were to prosecute Isaac Herzog, the trial would occur under Swiss law, incorporating legislation based on the principle of universal jurisdiction.

Whether Herzog would be held in Switzerland for trial depends on various factors, including whether he is in Swiss territory. While he was served while at Davos, my guess is that the Swiss, due to diplomatic and political considerations, would choose not to hold him there. So, if this goes to trial, extradition could be sought. Of course, we already know Israel would not agree, and thus an international arrest warrant could be issued.


If there is an international arrest warrant, it can be enforced by any state that recognizes and chooses to cooperate with that warrant. This means if the person against whom the warrant is issued travels to or is found in a country that acknowledges the warrant, they could potentially be arrested and extradited to face charges.


Update: Israel of course denies any validity to charges and Herzog tweeted a picture implying the Swiss Attorney General is a Nazi.*shakes head*

In the event the Swiss court were unwilling or unable to prosecute, only then might the ICC intervene.

3/3 The prosecution of Israeli President Herzog in Switzerland, while notable. And ultimately the more action is of the sort the better. Regardless of whether there is a trial it makes a clear statement that Israel can no longer act with total immunity, still at this moment when concrete action to end the genocide is beyond urgent, such actions pale in comparison to the significance of the South Africa vs. Israel case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). This case's focus on allegations of genocide by a state is pivotal, as it has the effect potential to influence international efforts to stop and prevent genocide. Again we encourage any and all actions.

But any(he who can should put their efforts into supporting the South African Case which can result in an order of a ceasefire and other concrete measures, These measures would have to be enacted by States(UN term for nations)

However, there is significant pressure deterring nations from actively supporting actions against Israel. Many states fear repercussions from the United States, such as sanctions, loss of trade deals, or even military consequences, should they take a stand beyond issuing statements. This reluctance underscores the importance of a collective approach, where a critical mass of nations participating in the ICJ case can provide the necessary political weight to enforce the court's decisions. Filing declarations of intervention by these nations is crucial. It not only signals a firm commitment to addressing the allegations but also reduces the individual risk for each participating country, creating a united front that can withstand external pressures. This collective action is essential for the effective enforcement of any rulings made by the ICJ, especially in light of the potential geopolitical consequences.

This is the current focus of the Campaign to Invoke The Genocide Convention and Code Pink -River Valley
We are committed to keeping Palestinian’, American American and Indigenous voice and perspectives central in Palestinian Solidarity Work. Cease-fire is essential but we keep our eyes on Ending the Occupation, Self-Determination and support for the Palestinian Liberation Movement.


Switzerland is notorious for playing both sides.
(Let’s not forget their partnership role with Hitler during WW2)
That being said, if they follow through then :ehh:

China Using AI to Create Anti-American Memes Capitalizing on Israel-Palestine, Researchers Find​

According to a new report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, the CCP is spreading memes depicting Biden as a war crazed tyrant.

A campaign linked to the Chinese Communist Party is creating and spreading AI-generated memes designed to stoke anti-American sentiment by capitalizing on President Biden’s support of Israel’s ongoing bombing campaign in Gaza following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack.

That’s according to a new dispatch from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), a non-profit that studies disinformation online. Over the past few years, the CCP has promoted anti-American memes and information online. Spamouflage refers to a disinformation campaign where a state actor uses bots to mass post memes and propaganda across social media. China has ramped up its spamouflage activities in the past few years. Its targets include Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the U.S. In particular, the Chinese Communist Party loves posting memes that depict Joe Biden as a deranged and warmongering drug addict who is out of step with the desires of the majority of Americans.

It’s a pernicious problem. In April, the Justice Department arrested 34 people on charges related to operating one of these troll farms. In January, Google deleted thousands of fake videos on YouTube it said were related to Chinese spamouflage campaigns. In August, Meta killed more than 7,000 accounts it said were related to disinformation campaigns operating against the U.S. Not to be outdone, the U.S. has also been caught operating similar campaigns targeting Russia, Iran, and China.

According to ISD, the Chinese-linked groups are in a rebuilding phase on X—where most of the activity is happening—as well as on Facebook and YouTube. “After the August takedown on Facebook, Spamouflage appears to have fallen back on accounts which may have flown under Meta’s radar, such as accounts which were active in early 2023 but not active in later months leading up to August,” ISD said in its post. “The campaign also began creating new accounts, for example a series of accounts using AI-generated women’s faces as profile pictures.”

Washington’s staunch support of Israel’s “siege” on Gaza responding to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack—Israel has killed nearly 20,000 Palestinians so far, while Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis—have provided China with the raw fuel it needs to create anti-American memes.

IMAGE VIA ISD.

Some of the images appear designed to drive a wedge into the existing divide between Americans who support Israel and Biden’s stance, and those who don’t. In one image, a frightening Uncle Sam sits atop a throne made of guns above the words “American Arms Dealer.” In another, Biden appears in the uniform of an operator in front of an American flag and scenes from Gaza. “Biden Slayer,” the image says. “U.S.’s sole supporter of the war.”

Many of the memes bear the hallmarks of being hastily created with an AI image generator, though it’s not clear which tool was used. Earlier this year, the loose guardrails on both Bing’s image generator and Facebook’s sticker making AI allowed users to create images of corporate mascots participating in atrocities. “These AI images do not appear to be intended to fool anyone into thinking they are real photographs; instead they seem to be intended as graphic illustrations of the key narratives,” ISD said.

According to ISD, these shytposts follow the same pattern as those from previous months. “While the Gaza conflict features prominently, the focus of Spamouflage in recent weeks is clearly shifting towards the US’s 2024 Presidential elections,” it said. “In this context, the operation may start seeking to associate Biden specifically with costly US military entanglements overseas. Depending on how the position of the Republicans and of the likely Republican candidate Donald Trump evolves, this could serve as a wedge issue which the CCP may seek to exploit.

In August, around the time of its massive takedown, Meta published an Adversarial Threat Report detailing these Spamouflage campaigns. “We continue to take down these unsuccessful attempts by Spamouflage, a persistent influence operation, to target audiences in various countries, as part of our ongoing work against coordinated inauthentic behavior,” a Meta spokesperson told Motherboard. “While this campaign struggles to build audiences among authentic communities across over 50 different apps it targets, we’ll keep monitoring and evolving our defenses to stay ahead.”

YouTube has worked with Google over the past few years to identify and remove accounts linked to Chinese-run spam campaigns, which it calls “Dragonbridge.” After the ISD report dropped, it removed 12 accounts related to this activity from the platform. “We have invested heavily in robust systems to proactively investigate coordinated influence operations and terminate their channels and accounts,” a YouTube spokesperson told Motherboard.

X, meanwhile, responded to Motherboard with a boilerplate email saying, “Busy now, please check back later.” X’s moderation policies have been under close scrutiny since billionaire Elon Musk purchased the site and whittled its staff down to a fraction of its original numbers, including moderation teams. Motherboard recently found that the site had not placed restrictions on content promoting apps that create non-consensual AI porn, despite TikTok and Meta-owned Instagram doing so.
