    More countries should follow Ireland and Poland. They recognized the ICC judgement for Ben and his backward insanity.

    Instead of denying the label “terrorist”, we should embrace and normalize it. It was always a rhetorical weapon for the status-quo, and we have the power to take that away.

      While I see your point to a degree, that Netenyahu pic should really be a picture of Biden standing next to netenyahu, because thats the reality of it, right. This renders US jurisdiction irrelevant. Netenyahu, Biden, and Putin too are rogue actors who shouldnt ever be allowed to travel beyond their countries borders again. If caught they should be rendered to the hague for war crimes.

      Criminals dont get to set a personally convenient standard for what justice is. the US and Israel both ratified the geneva conventions, so they are bound by it.

      Seems like lately whenever theres an awful event in the US, mcdonalds is somehow mentioned. Its like pure evil emenates from the place.

      They still do have the best fries though, I have to admit-- although a large fries is $5.44 now. Evil.

      Some might not consider him working class.

      But yeah, unless they start having McDonald’s at the commissary (which now that I think about it, is not outside the realm of possibility) he probably won’t be eating at any restaurant ever again.

      He should have gone to a no extradition country. Not Pennsylvania.

        Does that title really require someone to be FROM the working class? I always thought it was more about who they fought for.

        Take Che Guevara, for instance — the guy was from an upper class family who could afford to send him to med school. So was Marx, whose father was lawyer with a comfortable income who could afford to have all of 9 children (though not all of them survived). And John Lennon, who wrote the song that inspired the meme, had already had an enormously successful musical career and was quite likely a multi millionaire by that point.

        Also, Bernie Sanders is a millionaire as well but still widely considered a hero by the working class because that’s who he fights for.

        Point is, my understanding is that “working class hero” isn’t so much about the class membership of the hero themselves, but it’s simply whomever the working class considers a hero. That can of course include members of the working class as well (say, firefighters who risk their lives saving others, for example).

      you may have a case of blindness worse than my school ThinkPad’s scratched up camera, because if you merely read the first 3 words of the title, them being “US judicial logic”, you would’ve realised how off-base your comment is.

      As a person with glasses myself, it seems you might need to seek an optometrist, just a thought.

        Picture shows anti-Semitism. Without the picture having to show it, it also means siding with terrorists, rapists, etc. and being against any form of democracy and religion that thinks differently. This anti-Semitism is disgusting and the way it is defended is even more disgusting. You animals have completely lost your humanity… Picture shows 2 non-terrorist. This meme is pure antisemitism. ( even trump would make more sense on the right picture)

          Anti-Semitism is hatred or discrimination of Jews based on their nationality.

          No sane person holds anything against Jews, or supports violence against them. Some actual antisemites do, but they are in the tiny minority.

          What people mostly stand against is the violence perpetrated by the Israeli army on the land of Palestine.

          Israel has all the capacity to defend its citizens; yet Israeli army went way beyond defence or retaliation, into the territory of indiscriminate razing of everyone and everything, women, children, and sick, homes and hospitals. The state of Israel is accountable for enormous amounts of recorded human rights and law of war violations, and that’s the key reason nearly all of the international community took the side of defending Palestine. Should Palestine have the capacity and will to do the same to Israelis at the same scale, the international opinion would reverse.

          However, as Israel has to gain public support, which is hard to do when you’re commiting genocide, the government and its allies (mainly US and UK, both of whom have strategic interests in Israeli expansion) decided to adopt the rhetoric of antisemitism as something that would virtually put you along the lines of Nazis should you try and challenge their notion. No, Nazis were actual antisemites and pursued to eliminate Jews; the international community wants to put an end to the genocide of Palestinian Arabs, while rejecting any hostility directed against Jews.

          Wishing to eliminate one nationality to make safer room for the other, as well as “bringing in the correct values” by means of violence is a bloodthirsty and dangerous fantasy historically proven again and again to lead to terrible outcomes while multiplying suffering; yet by some it is understood for the very imagined and unrealistic scenario of falling Israel, but ignored while Palestine is actively razed by a hostile force of a much greater scale, ignoring all international treaties.

            You call political actions that protect against genocide, which the terrorist Palestinians want to carry out against Jews (not Zionists), terror? So you defend child molesters etc? So you celebrate the Palestinian attack on democratic values in the West within the West? So you want to see millions of dead Jews to make you happy? Misanthropic sick terrorist believer that’s all you are.

          So in your opinion the thousands of dead children and other civilians in Gaza are ‘terrorists rapists child molesters’ who don’t deserve human rights?

          I’m baffled how you can understand that the Russian/Putin’s attack on Ukraine is wrong, but fail to see the parallel between that and what Israel does and what Netanyahu is responsible for.
