We need worldwide sanctions on Israel, and the surrender of Netanyahu and his accomplices to the ICC should be a precondition for sanctions relief.

Taxpayers Alliance Against Genocide (TAAG): “We Will Not be Intimidated!”

Article republished by Jerry Alatalo | October 25, 2026

We Beat The Trump Administration In Court

October 24, 2026

Tariq Ra’ouf, Mondoweiss.

Now we’re going to the ICC to hold the U.S. accountable for the Gaza genocide.

A recent lawsuit successfully challenged the Trump administration’s assault on the International Criminal Court. Now, families like mine, whose relatives have been killed with U.S.-supplied weapons in Gaza, might finally have a chance at justice.

Over the course of the last three years, my family has lost 49 family members in Gaza. Their bodies were torn apart by shrapnel, crushed by falling buildings, and mutilated by bullets and munitions made and provided by the United States of America. Now, the U.S. is trying to dismantle the International Criminal Court, the only international court that can criminally prosecute U.S. officials for aiding and enabling genocide, by sanctioning the Court and attempting to intimidate anyone, including U.S. citizens, from working with them. So, in response, I joined others to sue this administration in order to take them to the very court they’re trying to destroy.

I’m a Palestinian-American organizer, and I helped establish Taxpayers Alliance Against Genocide (TAAG), which recently partnered with Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) to sue the Trump administration so we can continue much-needed legal and advocacy work. Over the course of over a year, TAAG worked with an international legal team to prepare evidence against top U.S. officials for aiding and enabling the genocide of my people, but up until now, we haven’t been able to submit our evidence to the ICC because of this administration’s attacks and sanctions on the court and its judges.

Thankfully, that will now change after we successfully challenged the Trump administration in court. On October 13 we won a preliminary injunction that blocks this administration from being able to target our groups for working with sanctioned parties, clearing the way for us to proceed to the ICC. For the first time since the genocide started, I am beginning to see a glimmer of hope that justice will be found for the dozens of family members I have lost in Gaza.

The Trump administration’s war on the ICC

Long before the Trump administration sanctioned the entirety of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on October 9, it first enacted Executive Order 14203 in February of 2025. This executive order granted administration officials the ability to sanction foreign nationals for supporting the ICC’s investigations into U.S. and Israeli parties guilty of committing war crimes and their complicity in genocide. Under this Executive Order (EO) , the Trump administration also sanctioned leading Palestinian human rights groups al-Haq, al-Mezan, and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), as well as the UN Special Rapporteur for the Human Rights Situation on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Francesca Albanese, along with other ICC officials.

What many people don’t know is that the EO that allowed the administration to sanction these parties doesn’t only go after foreign nationals, it also makes it a federal offense — punishable by a $1 million dollar fine and/or 20 years in prison — for anyone, including American citizens, who provides or receives a “service” to or from a sanctioned party. This provision of the EO is exactly why TAAG and DAWN took this administration to court: Our lawsuit argued that the EO violates our First Amendment rights as American citizens to speak, associate, and engage in Palestine-related human rights advocacy with these parties. As a founding member of TAAG, I can tell you firsthand how these sanctions have prevented us and organizations like DAWN from being able to continue our work sharing evidence and advocacy ideas with people like Albanese and ICC officials, because the definition of “service” is so broad and undefined — the US can interpret it as being anything that confers a benefit to the recipient.

In an October 9 video of Marco Rubio announcing the actions against the ICC, he tries defending the administration’s actions by calling the ICC a “rogue court,” which the U.S. is “not subject to the jurisdiction of.” But Rubio leaves out a fundamental principle of international law: A country does not have to join the ICC for its nationals to fall within the Court’s jurisdiction.

If a country that is not a State Party to the Rome Statute commits a war crime on the lands of a country that is a state party, the perpetrator of that crime can be investigated. Given that Palestine is a State Party to the Rome Statute, and that Gaza (and the West Bank) are classified as Occupied Palestinian Territories by the United Nations, the ICC has every right to investigate and prosecute the United States and Israel for the insurmountable war crimes committed against my family members and thousands of other innocent civilians.

It is clear that the only “protections” this administration are seeking are for the citizens responsible for aiding and abetting war crimes, which after three years, we have plenty of evidence of. Anthony Aguilar, a retired US special forces officer and whistleblower who resigned from his work with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution centers in Gaza, has gone on record saying he saw the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) shooting at crowds of Palestinians, and in an interview with the BBC says he saw Israeli and American military forces of the GHF using an “indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population.”

Rubio consistently mentions the idea of “protecting American citizens” from investigations by the ICC, but the citizens he is referring to are the ones committing the war crimes he doesn’t want investigated. What about American citizens whose families have been killed with U.S.-supplied weapons? Who protects our right to seek justice?

In sanctioning the entirety of the ICC, the Trump administration is not only trying to cripple any attempt to hold them accountable for their war crimes, but they’re also telling American citizens like myself that if you dare to seek justice for the family members you’ve lost, we’ll imprison you.

The struggle for accountability moves forward

Now that the courts sided with us in our lawsuit, we are finally able to prepare for the next steps ahead.

With the injunction in place, TAAG is now moving forward to finalize its evidence submission and plans to imminently send this to the ICC. We are also rallying support, within the US and beyond, for human rights organizations and advocates for the ICC to act responsibly upon this massive collection of evidence, in hopes that more parties take appropriate legal actions where possible. We fundamentally believe that grassroots movements like ours, and so many throughout the world, are the ones who must step up where our leadership has failed, and build the democratic, popular power capable of ensuring that legal action against genocide is taken and enforced.

We also hope that our actions inspire more American citizens to speak up against this administration and the priorities of our government. I helped found Taxpayers Alliance Against Genocide because I’m sick of our tax dollars being used against my own family in Gaza, while our communities here in the U.S. suffer from a lack of housing, education and healthcare. Those of us within TAAG recognize that we have a duty as American citizens to hold our nation accountable for the war crimes they commit, not just in Gaza but all over the world.  We will not rest until we’ve exhausted every avenue to seek justice and accountability for these war crimes. We will continue collecting evidence, and pursuing every available legal avenue, moving forward with our crucial evidence work for a prospective submission to the ICC and advance our efforts to hold U.S. officials accountable for crimes against humanity.

We will not be intimidated into abandoning our work, our families, or the principle that no one is above the law.

@stellarsarah

I don't think Trump will be removed from office by constitutional means. I think he'll stay in the White House until the next President is inaugurated.

On that day, January 20 2029, the new President needs to invite the #InternationalCriminalCourt to take jurisdiction in the U.S. (This is allowed in countries that haven't signed the Rome Statute treaty, under article 12 section 3.) The #ICC can investigate, indict, arrest, and try him at the Hague.

Israel Goes Ballistic Over Navi Pillay.

Article republished by Jerry Alatalo | October 12, 2026

Israel goes ballistic over Nobel Laureate Navi Pillay

October 12, 2026

Navi Pillay in Nuremberg, Germany, on Friday (Daniel Karmann)

Foreign Ministry says ‘Goebbels is applauding from Hell’ over Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to jurist who chaired a UN commission that concluded Israel had committed genocide in Gaza – 3 articles below

(1/3) ‘Goebbels Applauding From Hell’ Israel Denounces Nobel Peace Prize Winner Over Gaza Genocide Probe

Reposted from Haaretz, October 09, 2026

The Israeli Foreign Ministry accused Navi Pillay of a ‘relentless, politically motivated demonization of Israel’ over her having chaired a UN commission of inquiry that concluded that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza

Israel denounced on Friday the decision to award Navanethem “Navi” Pillay the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accusing the laureate of spreading “blood libels” against Israel and claiming she helped legitimize a “fake case” against the country at the International Criminal Court.

“The Nobel Prize committee has lost its moral compass,” Netanyahu wrote on X, accusing Pillay of building her career around “inventing and propagating blood libels against the one and only Jewish state.”

Netanyahu also accused Pillay of helping ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan build a case against Israel, alleging that Khan, who was accused by ICC employees of rape and sexual molestation, had used her “lies” in the case. Khan has denied the allegations against him.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry also condemned the award, accusing Pillay of “relentless, politically motivated demonization of Israel” over her role chairing a UN commission of inquiry that concluded Israel had committed genocide in Gaza.

“If there were an award for lies, hatred, and blood libels, Navi Pillay wouldn’t just be a contender. She’d be a frontrunner,” the ministry said in a statement on X. It also called accusations of genocide against Israel “the biggest lie of the 21st century.”

The statement also said that accusations of genocide leveled at Israel are “the biggest lie of the 21st century.”

“Joseph Goebbels is certainly applauding from hell,” it added, referring to Nazi Germany’s chief propagandist during the Holocaust.

The UN human rights chief said that Pillay’s Nobel Prize was a collective win for human ‌rights and for all those seeking justice and accountability, including through the International Criminal Court.

Volker Turk, who worked closely with Navi Pillay during her tenure as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014, ⁠described her as “the embodiment of international law”.

“The fact that the Nobel Award Commission decided to give this to Navi Pillay is a collective win for human rights, but also for (those) seeking justice and accountability in this world,” Turk said in response to a question about Pillay’s former role as an ICC judge.

Pillay, who was chair of a ⁠UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory until last year, found that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza.

“It is a recognition not only of what she did in relation to Palestine, ⁠but frankly what she did in relation to so many other conflicts and situations around the world,” said Turk.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said Pillay was awarded the prize “for her efforts to promote ‌peace and international law.”

Pillay, 85, held states and national leaders accountable and brought hope to victims of violence and conflict, and demonstrated a firm moral ⁠compass in her long career, the committee said.

Prediction: Donald Trump and/or Benjamin Netanyahu Will Order Nuclear Strike(s) on the Iranian People.

Will humanity gather the necessary/required spiritual power in time to avert fast-approaching nuclear catastrophe?

Posted by Jerry Alatalo | October 11, 2026

[Editor: Ray McGovern, Patrick Henningsen and host Joe Lauria engage in an insightful, remarkable, outstanding discussion of highly-concerning current world events.]

Description (Consortium News):

THIS WEEK
1. Did Putin Bail Out Trump?
2. Execution Madness
3. Russia Pounds Kiev; Calm Before Storm in Iran?

Plus: India Arrests Youth Movement Leaders as French Student Protests Grow.

Russia is selling the U.S. 4.8 million tons of diesel fuel over the coming months after a sanctions waiver to lift Donald Trump‘s November electoral chances, infuriating Volodymyr Zelensky as Kiev suffers its most intense Russian attacks. Why is Vladimir Putin bailing Trump out?

Trump was reportedly angry that Zelensky ignored half a dozen demands to stop hitting Russian oil refineries. After the deal was announced Zelensky again struck Russian oil facilities. This all came as Zelenky’s envoys were arriving in Miami to meet the real estate agents.

On Saturday, Trump said Zelensky “wants to make problems for the world,” adding, “I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president.”

Trump announced during the week that he won’t resume war against Iran until after the November midterm elections, which his party is in danger of losing. But can anything he says be believed?

And in the U.S. an execution victim awakes from a coma after a botched attempt from the state to kill her, while the government is ready to execute a man in public, live-streamed. You can’t make this stuff up.

Plus, how far will the French protests spread in France and beyond, as India cracks down on a youth movement. What’s behind the unrest?

[Editor’s note: Here is my brief comment:

Trump announced during the week that he won’t resume war against Iran until after the November midterm elections, which his party is in danger of losing. But can anything he says be believed?

*

Most people who’ve engaged in sober, mature, discerning observance of extraordinarily disturbing world events have come to place no trust in anything Donald Trump says, meaning: if Donald Trump says he won’t be ordering the launch of nuclear weapons against the Iranian people before November 3, the odds are high that the increasingly desperate and dangerous Donald Trump and/or Benjamin Netanyahu will, unfortunately – to say the least, choose the unthinkable, – and order nuclear strikes on Iran before the October 27 Israeli elections.

Peace.

Please share this timely and important discussion far and wide. There are two weeks and two days left (until the October 27 elections in Israel) to prevent a nuclear catastrophe, – namely, the third use of nuclear weapons in world history. Peace.]
