Exclusive: ICC shuns US demands to drop Israel war crimes probe and amend treaty Washington also called for end to Afghanistan investigation and change to Rome Statute in return for lifting sanctions

In a back channeled "offer" to the International Criminal Court, the United States proposed dropping sanctions on ICC officials if the Court

•Dropped charges on Israeli officials and pledged not to indict anymore
•Stopped investigating crimes in Afghanistan
•Amended the ICC treaty

the ICC said: no

Yeah. It's PROBABLY also illegal! But that hasn't stopped the jackboots so far, so, you know.

If you or a loved one has gone through it, you know how many years, how much paperwork, how much money, and how much stress goes into arriving at your citizenship ceremony. This is so pointedly racist and cruel.

A photo of a short-eared owl (Asio flammeus) flying low over long brown grass in evening light. It is a medium-sized owl with brown and cream barred plumage, a round face, very short ear tufts, and golden-yellow eyes. The owl is flying toward the left of frame with long stalks of dark reddish-brown scraggly plants underneath it, with its beak open mid-screech and slight motion blur from its swift movement.

It is a medium-sized owl with brown and cream barred plumage, a round face, very short ear tufts, and golden-yellow eyes. The owl is flying toward the left of frame with its wings outstretched in a vertical composition, low sunlight shining through its feathers from behind so that its wings and tail appear to glow.
