A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it: If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1932-05-22), Commencement, Oglethorpe University, Atlanta, Georgia

Sourcing, notes: __________

Reminder with respect to the pending #genocide #trial against #Israel (Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza strip), in front of the International Court of Justice #ICJ:

If you had added July 28th 2025 as the deadline for submission of the counter-memorial of the state of #Israel: that was the initial deadline.

You may have missed that the ICJ had extended that deadline to January 12th 2026, already back in April. Before that date, Israel will not have to file anything.

Why? Back in April, the ICJ accepted Israel's claim it was running out of resources, since it had to face so many legal proceedings in parallel:

My sympathy for capacity issues of genocidal governments is exactly zero, especially since the Genocide Convention was meant for preventing genocide, too.

What exactly the court is hoping to "prevent", still, after January 2026 is beyond me. (I did not expect the case to be decided within months, though)

The current status of the case can always be found at icj-cij.org/case/192

“Why Netanyahu is on the ropes”

“Netanyahu's escalating wars and rhetoric mask deep domestic weakness, with crumbling public trust, economic fallout, and growing resistance at home and abroad exposing his fading grip on power”

Today, a RICO trial begins for Ayla King, the first of many who will be tried in waves for Stop Cop City activism.

“in accusing Ayla and 60 people Ayla had never met of beginning a criminal conspiracy together on the day that police murdered George Floyd, Carr and his cronies show that the premise for this trial is chiefly constructed from their paranoid fantasies.”

CrimethInc.The Trial of Ayla KingAyla King was scheduled to be the first of the Stop Cop City defendants absurdly charged with violating the RICO Act to go to trial.

"A judge in #Argentina has ordered the #trial in absentia of 10 #Iranian and #Lebanese nationals suspected of the 1994 bombing of a #Jewish community centre in #BuenosAires, which killed 85 people.

The attack, which caused devastation in #LatinAmerica’s biggest Jewish community, has never been claimed or solved, but Argentina and Israel have long suspected #Lebanon’s #Shiite #Hezbollah group of carrying it out at #Iran’s request."
