In the name of fighting antisemitism, the Congress just voted to sanction (among other jurists) Theodor Meron, a literal Holocaust survivor, former Israeli Ambassador to Canada and President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. (Meron was one of the experts Karim Khan consulted before formally seeking the warrants, and - on a standard of clear and convincing evidence - called for Khan to seek warrants for Netanyahu's and Gallant's arrest, for the use of starvation as a weapon of war and murder.) It is ironic that the fight against anti-Semitism is being used to target someone like Theodor Meron, who is not only a Holocaust survivor but also a major advocate for international justice.

Elon Musk is a very powerful person. He’s the world’s richest man. He’s got one of the largest social media platforms on Earth at his fingertips. By all accounts, he used both to help Donald Trump get elected. But now, he seems to be taking this playbook international. That’s something we should all be worried about. In recent months, Musk has been loudly lauding — and platforming — his political favourites, like Canada’s Pierre Poilievre and Germany’s far-right AFD. He’s also been viciously attacking the leaders he disagrees with, from Justin Trudeau to the UK’s Keir Starmer. According to the Financial Times, he’s even “privately discussed with allies how Sir Keir Starmer could be removed as UK prime minister before the next general election.” Now, elected officials are beginning to raise the alarm about the pattern. So let’s talk about it. SUBSTACK: rachelgilmore.substack.com PATREON: patreon.com/rachelgilmore YOUTUBE: https://lnkd.in/grx-9nnk

🚨🇩🇰NON-WESTERN IMMIGRANTS ACCOUNT FOR ONE-THIRD OF DENMARK’S VIOLENT CRIMES AND RAPES Non-Western immigrants, making up just 10.6% of Denmark's population, are responsible for 29.6% of violent crimes and 32.4% of rapes. Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard is calling for stricter sentences, condemning those who "repay" Denmark with violence. Researchers point to economic and cultural factors driving this overrepresentation. Second-generation immigrants, only 2.2% of the population, account for 15.6% of violent crimes, adding to concerns over societal integration. Source: European Conservative

#breakingnews Another day and another new low for the UK judiciary. Dr Pat Hart, a wonderful practicing GP has today been sent to prison for a 12 month sentence. Is this really a good use of public money? Is it really in the public interest to imprison practicing fine clinical doctors who act out of care and their moral code? Dr Pat is an incredibly caring person and friend. Yet again we are reminded that the wrong people are in prison right now. Pat joins the 40 ordinary people already locked up by the UK state for resisting gen0c1de and ecocide. #FreePoliticalPrisoners "A family doctor has been sentenced to one year in prison for taking action with Just Stop Oil. Dr Patrick Hart took action in August 2022 to demand an end to new licences and consents for oil and gas projects in the UK, something which has subsequently become government policy. Dr Patrick Hart appeared before Judge Mills at Chelmsford Crown Court today after being found guilty in October 2024 of Criminal Damage. Dr Hart disabled petrol pumps at Esso Thurrock Services on the M25 on the 24th August 2022. Esso is a subsidiary of the Oil giant Exxon Mobil which infamously concealed the alarming findings of its own scientists, which showed that burning fossil fuels led to global warming. Exxon subsequently ploughed millions into a disinformation campaign which initially sewed doubt and later confusion around the emerging climate science. In his closing statement at Chelmsford Crown Court during his trial, Dr Hart said: “I disrupted people as an act of care. I damaged the petrol pump screens as an act of care, because in times of great peril, a caring person has to stand up for what is right. My actions have already cost me greatly. I have been handed a suspended prison sentence, and thousands of pounds in costs through a civil injunction for this exact same action. I have been penalised at work and stand to be suspended or lose my licence to practise as a doctor. But I regret nothing. Because to not do it, would have been to give up on caring, and that would be worse. In the face of the permanent collapse of our climate, our economy, our society and life on Earth, the only thing that keeps me going is our continued capacity as people to care, regardless of what happens. Yes, I fear prison, but I am ready to go if I must.” "... https://lnkd.in/e3vyKscd

We must resist this propaganda and "consciousness warfare" "Israel has announced a dramatic expansion of its "hasbara" (propaganda) efforts in its 2025 budget, with the foreign ministry set to receive an additional $150m. This marks a staggering 20-fold increase in funding for "consciousness warfare" compared to previous years, with the goal of reshaping global perceptions about the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The funds will primarily target American college campuses, social media platforms, and the international press, with coordination from Jewish organisations in the US and the Diaspora Affairs Ministry. In recent months, Israel's attacks on medical facilities in northern Gaza have intensified, further escalating global condemnation of its actions." https://lnkd.in/e6HjaDTi

We are extremely alarmed by the latest information we have received regarding the whereabouts of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyyah, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital. He should now be considered as victim of enforced disappeared, and as such at great risk of torture and ill-treatment. Israel authorities must urgently disclose the location of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyyah. Dr. Abu Safiyyah was reportedly arrested on December 27, 2024, when IDF forces raided Kamal Adwan Hospital. Video footage from that day shows the senior doctor walking toward an IDF armored vehicle before being taken for questioning. Following the incident, an IDF spokesperson confirmed his arrest and stated that he had been transferred for interrogation. However, since then, no further information has been provided about his whereabouts. But on Thursday January 1st, the Israeli military informed Physicians for Human Rights that they have no record of Dr. Abu Safiyyah’s detention. This response came after PHRI, acting on behalf of Dr. Abu Safiyyah’s family requested information to facilitate a lawyer’s visit on January 2. In its response to PHRI’s inquiry, the military stated: "Following your inquiry, we would like to inform you that a review has found no indication of the arrest or detention of the individual in question." In light of this denial, PHRI has now filed a petition with the Israeli High Court of Justice (HCJ) on Thursday, demanding immediate disclosure of Dr. Abu Safiyyah’s location. Since October 2023, Israel has detained hundreds of Palestinian healthcare workers from Gaza without charge or trial. Health workers have been subjected to torture and other ill-treatment and been held in incommunicado detention.
