Israeli soldiers arrested in Belgium after war crimes complaint by rights groups

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/two-israeli-soldiers-arrested-belgium-after-war-crimes-complaint-rights-groups

Belgian federal police on Sunday arrested two Israeli soldiers facing accusations of war crimes in Gaza following a complaint by two rights groups.

The Federal Prosecutor’s Office on Monday said it received two complaints on Friday and Saturday from the HRF and Glan, concerning “serious violations of international humanitarian law allegedly committed in the Gaza Strip by two members of the Israeli army” who were in Belgium to attend the Tomorrowland festival.

The prosecutor’s office said it has determined that it might have jurisdiction on the case based on the new Article 14/10 of the Preliminary Title of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which entered into force on 28 April 2024. The article grants Belgian courts jurisdiction over crimes committed outside Belgium based on the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Convention against Torture of 1984.

“In light of this possible jurisdiction, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office instructed the police to locate the two individuals mentioned in the complaint and to proceed with their questioning. After the interviews, they were released,” it said, adding that no further information will be provided at this stage of the investigation.

The arrests come a day after Belgium’s King Philippe described the situation in Gaza as “a disgrace to humanity”. He said in speech on Sunday that Belgium backs calls by the UN for “an immediate end to this unbearable crisis”.

Belgian court bans further transit of all military equipment to Israel in landmark ruling

https://pers.11.be/belgian-court-bans-further-transit-of-all-military-equipment-to-israel-in-landmark-ruling

In its ruling, the court immediately prohibits the Flemish government from authorizing any new transit to Israel. Since 2009, there has been an agreement that no arms strengthening Israel's armed forces would be exported — a policy that in practice has been severely undermined. To enforce the ban on new transits, the court has imposed a penalty of €50,000 per shipment that still leaves for Israel. The judge criticized the Flemish government for providing little to no information and stated that Flanders gave the impression it "did not have the situation under control." This passive attitude is particularly problematic given the “crushing responsibility,” the judge said.

The Corbyn party is still hypothetical, nothing has been formalised yet. The 15% is purely based on his name recognition / hate for other parties. I assume when they create an actual program and campaign the polling would change a lot

And if you did protest vote or not vote at all I hold you equal as those who voted MAGA

what is democracy in your opinion then? everyone voting for the genocidaire that you approve of?

I don't think anyone seriously thought that the Dems would change. The issue is that there was zero reason for someone to vote Dems, since they do not propose any alternative to Republican policies.

PFP and PSL have been working together in california for like a decade now. And its not like california is a swing state to scare off any swing voters.
