The United States has obtained — no doubt after twisting some arms — United Nations approval for yet another invasion of Haiti, this time with the alleged purpose of containing gang-related violence in the Caribbean nation. The military force will ostensibly be under the control of Kenya, but that’s just for show — everyone knows who will really be in charge.
Democracy Now! The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed during Israel's assault on Gaza. The court also issued a warrant for Hamas's military chief Mohammed Deif, whom Israel said they killed in August. This is a major development on the international stage, says HuffPost correspondent Akbar Shahid Ahmed, particularly in its implications for U.S. culpability in Israeli war crimes. The Biden administration, as Netanyahu's "ultimate enabler," is visibly "totally alone" in its refusal to recognize Israel's crossing of "red lines," as even its ally nations who are party to the ICC are now legally required to cooperate with the court's decision.
