  • Their harrassment of Ms Bensouda is super creepy, first they sent an envelope of money to her house and then Mossad came to her in a hotel room:

    In one of the earliest encounters, Cohen surprised Bensouda when he made an unexpected appearance at an official meeting the prosecutor was holding with the then DRC president, Joseph Kabila, in a New York hotel suite.

    Sources familiar with the meeting said that after Bensouda’s staff were asked to leave the room, the director of the Mossad suddenly appeared from behind a door in a carefully choreographed “ambush”.










  • Sorry to burst your bubble but it’s technically incapable of enabling sufficient aid.

    • the US plan is to start with 70 trucks worth of aid and ramp it up to 100 trucks

    • even before the war Gaza needed about 400 trucks of aid, that was when people still had homes and hospitals

    • there are IDF outposts on each side of the pier meaning it could become a choke point just like the crossings

    • the IDF have reinvaded the North where the worst of the famine is

    • the closing of the Rafah crossing means famine conditions are rapidly worsening in the South as well now.

    • once people are actually starving, you need aid workers to distribute aid.
