cococandy: They are all bought and paid for by AIPAC and the rest of them have vested interest in claiming Palestinian land after all is said and done.
All for water for front property.
very shameless people, this will surely cause extensive damage to US reputation
FreeStuffsNG: Smh. President Putin will be laughing out loud at the obscene hypocrisy of these guys.
Putin really got them on this. ICC will rule on the request of the prosecutor and no amount of threat and blackmail will save anyone just like they did when Putin was at the receiving end.
true, US is putting itself in a very tight corner by supporting the carnage and atrocities in Gaza, nobody will listen to their hypocrisy about human rights after this war, they've lost the moral compass.
Putin and other dictators are watching everything.
They are now resorting to bullying and intimidation of ICC.
US Senator Bernie Sanders expressed support for the requests by International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan for arrest warrants for Israeli leaders and urged the US to respect international law.
"The ICC as I see it is trying to uphold international law and minimum standards of decency. Our government should do no less," Sanders told the Senate floor Tuesday night.
His remarks came after Khan applied for arrest warrants on Monday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and three leaders of the Palestinian group Hamas for “war crimes and crimes against humanity” committed in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Sanders said that when the ICC declared Russian President Vladimir Putin a war criminal last year, the US government welcomed its decision.
"Some have argued that it is unfair to compare the democratically elected head of the Israeli government to Putin, who runs an authoritarian system...Yes, democratically elected officials can commit war crimes," he said.
"The ICC is doing its job. It’s doing what it is supposed to do. We cannot only apply international law when it is convenient," Sanders added.
He reminded the senators that more than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed and almost 80,000 injured since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7 last year.
Stressing that Israel has the right to go after Hamas, Sanders said: "But Netanyahu and his government do not have the right to wage an all-out war against the children, against the women, against the innocent people of Gaza. And for that, there must be consequences."
"What the ICC has done is important for the global community, in the sense that we cannot allow the human race to descend to barbarity," he added.
President Ebrahim Raisi was buried in the Iranian holy city of Mashhad on Thursday as many thousands of mourners packed its streets for his funeral, four days after he died in a helicopter crash, footage broadcast by Iranian media showed. Raisi, 63, was widely seen as a candidate to succeed 85-year-old Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who wields ultimate power in Iran. Mohammad Mokhber, who had been first vice president, is serving as interim president until a June election.
The burial ceremony was attended by Iranian government and military officials, as well as religious personalities.
Flowers were thrown at his coffin as it moved slowly aboard a truck through throngs of mourners to be buried at the gold-domed Imam Reza shrine, Iran's holiest Islamic site and revered as the resting place of the 9th century Imam Ali al-Reza. Raisi hailed from Mashhad, 900 km (560 miles) east of Tehran
Earlier, thousands had paid their respects as his coffin was driven in a motorcade through the eastern city of Birjand.
Eight passengers and crew were killed when the helicopter crashed in mountainous terrain near the Azerbaijan border. They included Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian. Iran proclaimed five days of mourning for Raisi, who enacted the hardline policies of his mentor Khamenei aimed at entrenching Shi'ite clerical power, cracking down on public dissent and adopting a tough line on foreign policy issues such as talks with Washington to revive Iran's 2015 nuclear pact.
The presidential election has been scheduled for June 28.
A ceremony was held to commemorate Amirabdollahian at the foreign ministry in Tehran, where acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani described him as a martyr who had "guaranteed the revolutionary nature of the foreign ministry". Amirabdollahian was buried south of Tehran in the city of Rey's Shah Abdolazim shrine, a mausoleum where notable Iranian politicians and artists are interred.

siofra: Black people are treated like trash even in our country. This case should not be left to die please. That Chinese man should be sentenced along with the uncle Sam Nigerian police protecting him.
FatherCHRISTMAS: I have always wondered what gives the Expatriate confidence to maltreat people in their host country. They don't act like this in other countries.
I saw one arguing with a mobile police officer a month ago. What gives them this sort of confidence
because our people worship them, they see themselves as demigods.
This is sad, the way these foreigners treat us in Nigeria is too bad, they treat Nigerians so much with contempt and disdain and get away with it most times.
They will enslave you in their country, they will still come to Nigeria and enslave our people again.
He murdered an innocent lady for refusing his advances, he should be given capital punishment
Theres this 9ja Pop Gospel called Resonance that sang famous tracks like 'Chinwe Ike' and 'Holy Ghost Fire'? Do you have a link to their webpage, if available?
It is very difficult to see children of our politicians from governor, senator, minister to president in our universities and they claim to love this country.
Anyway, congrats to her and her Dad the man that raised her.
