The agreement offers the Saudis the same options Trump has sworn Iran will never have

Why does the US want to ‘dismantle’ the international criminal court? | Kenneth Roth
By Kenneth Roth

Marco Rubio has offered nonsensical rationale in attacking the court. The Trump administration’s real goal is impunity

According to mum and dad, they remember #KennethRoth was the head of #HRW in the early 90s.

A British woman of Somali descent left HRW because of Roth's bullshit.

'#Israel's #Starvation Strategy': #IDF Fires on #WorldFoodProgram Team

"This is totally unacceptable and the latest in a series of unnecessary security incidents that have endangered the lives of #WFP's team in #Gaza."

Jake Johnson

"The World Food Program said Wednesday that it was forced to suspend the movement of its employees in Gaza after the Israeli military fired on one of the #UnitedNations agency's teams as its clearly marked vehicle advanced toward an Israeli checkpoint in the #Palestinian enclave.

"The agency said in a statement that the WFP team was returning from a mission with two armored vehicles "after escorting a convoy of trucks carrying humanitarian cargo routed to Gaza's central area."

"'Despite being clearly marked and receiving multiple clearances by Israeli authorities to approach, the vehicle was directly struck by gunfire as it was moving towards an Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) checkpoint,' WFP said. 'It sustained at least ten bullets: five on the driver's side, two on the passenger side, and three on other parts of the vehicle. None of the employees onboard were physically harmed.'

"While the WFP's statement doesn't explicitly attribute the gunfire to Israeli forces, U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told reporters Wednesday that the food agency's vehicle was "struck 10 times by IDF gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows.'

"Cindy McCain, WFP's executive director, said the attack was 'totally unacceptable and the latest in a series of unnecessary security incidents that have endangered the lives of WFP's team in Gaza.'

"'As last night's events show, the current deconfliction system is failing and this cannot go on any longer,' said McCain. 'I call on the #Israeli authorities and all parties to the conflict to act immediately to ensure the safety and security of all aid workers in Gaza.'

"The Israeli military's latest attack on aid workers in Gaza came as famine continued to spread across the strip, which Israel has strangled with a blockade that has restricted the flow of food and other necessities.

"#KennethRoth, the former executive director of #HumanRightsWatch characterized the WFP attack as part of 'Israel's starvation strategy.' Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted humanitarian workers in Gaza, making the enclave the most dangerous place in the world for aid agency employees."

P.S. We see a lot of support-#Israel-at-any-cost organizations demonizing people like #KennethRoth for "singling out" Israel for criticism. They claim Israel is held to a higher standard than other countries, and that this is antisemitic.
The thing is, you don't get to claim to be a Jewish state based on Jewish values and then complain when people hold you to a higher standard. A pivotal Jewish value is that GOD holds Jews to a higher standard, one which Israel is not currently meeting.

#HarvardUniversity has reconsidered their terrible earlier decision and has decided to offer a fellowship to #KennethRoth after all.
I don't know whether the change was motivated by public pressure, pressure from faculty, or pressure from big donors, but whichever it was, I'll take it.
Now #DouglasElmendorf should resign or be fired. His initial decision to reject the fellowship should be a career-ending move.

"The #Harvard Kennedy School reversed course on Thursday and said it would offer a fellowship to a leading human rights advocate it had previously rejected, after news of the decision touched off a public outcry over academic freedom, donor influence and the boundaries of criticism of #Israel."

Why the Godfather of Human Rights Is Not Welcome at Harvard | The Nation https://www.thenation.com/article/society/hrw-harvard-israel-kennedy-school/ Why the Godfather of Human Rights Is Not Welcome at Harvard
#KennethRoth, who ran Human Rights Watch for 29 years, was denied a fellowship at the #KennedySchool. The reason? Despite his mother surviving the Holocaust and he's Jewish. Israel. #freepalestine #HumanRightsWatch

God dammit.
#HarvardUniversity rescinded a fellowship offer to #KennethRoth, the former executive director of #HumanRightsWatch, because Jews in power in the United States can't handle the truth about #Israel.
I am a Zionist: I believe Israel has a right to exist as a homeland for the Jewish people.
I also agree with Kenneth Roth that the state of Israel in its current form is an apartheid state.
Both of these can be true.
