It hasn’t been talked enough that in the US congress bill defunding UNRWA, there was a decision to refuse aid to Palestine if it ever initiates or supports an ICC investigation against Israel, or if it seeks to upgrade its status at the UN or other forums.
Basically, the US is punishing Palestine if it tries to use non-violent diplomacy and multilateralism to seek justice. It really should outrage more of us, because it’s so harmful to discourage states from seeking peaceful solutions through international law.
@BeaFihn @IbrahimZabad66 US is going to make them an offer they can’t refuse. Government as mafioso. Lovely.
@BeaFihn I absolutely agree. I discussed it as part of a wider pattern here: canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
@BeaFihn @mehdirhasan No-one should be surprised AIPAC bought and paid for Congress long ago
@BeaFihn Everyone is talking about it, welcome to the discussion!
@BeaFihn Geopolitical blackmail.
