May 9, 2025"The Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), the country’s largest labor federation, has voted in favor of a comprehensive boycott of #Israel, including a ban on trade and investment with #Israeli companies.
The decision was passed with an overwhelming 88 percent majority during LO’s national congress, held in the #Norwegian capital, Oslo, from May 8 to 9, the official #Palestinian news agency WAFA reported."
It was always a land grab.
Oh, I agree, but knowing and proving are different ballparks, especially in an international court.
The discussions I had on reddit in 2023 about it was proof of intent, which is needed for acts to be labelled genocide. An official press statement stating that intent is proof. The ICC case has basically just been made.
It’s no longer about a suspected landgrab, and if it wasn’t for 18 months of Hasbara PR wearing us down, more countries would feel forced to act, as governments should now no longer be allowed to appeal to “benefit of doubt”.
I just wanted to point that out that the press communication we all saw coming, is (in regards to calling them a genocidal state) not just a smoking gun, but a video of them pulling the trigger.
When the first Trump golf course goes in, we will know for sure!
What’s really interesting is how Apple Maps doesn’t have updated satellite images of Gaza, yet google maps shows a ton of damage.
It’s pretty nuts to see the before and after like that.
