Yet another shameless move by the fascist government of a rogue state that continues to make a mockery of the rights of its neighbor nation of Palestinians and the resolutions of the international organisations. Disgusting, ferocious, illegal.

How on earth can one not see that this game is played to discredit SA, who are supporting the case for genocide in Palestine in front to the ICJ? Trump is so ridiculous and yet so manipulative that the average American might even believe him. Pics from Congo, videos of extremists and the likes...

According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%. We must defeat it.

What a shame! I belong to a generation of individuals that worked tirelessly to make sure the ICC treaty would be agreed in 1998. We made it, as activists, with some support from the Italian institutions too that allowed pacific mobilisation and used their soft power too, back then.
