There will be no peace till Bibi and his enablers are at a 21st century Nurenberg.
The extent of the atrocities committed over the last years alone is staggering. The West's support of this animal is disgusting.
He is now attempting to scupper a desperately-needed, and difficult to achieve and maintain ceasefire. The world's economy and food security is at stake here. He has to be stopped before he drags us all into ruin.

  It’s not just one man, you have to follow the money. Look at Trump’s donors, there is a huge lobby in the US funded by Israeli billionaires who got us into this war and the previous Iraq war. The majority of our senators in both parties also supported this conflict (and also the billions in military aid we send to Israel every year) because they too have been purchased by the same lobby.
  Even if we had a Nuremberg for Bibi and his cronies, this lobby will still wield enormous power in the US and continue to push us into wars for Israel.

    Not disputing that in the slightest, but the locus of accountability stands with those at the helm.
    A network is vast and complicated, a cabinet is not. This is where prosecutions typically start.
    The statements Trump and Hegseth have made in the last weeks are similar in form to those used to bring to justice perpetrators of atrocities in Rwanda and Serbia.
    Prosecutions may be optimistic, but the rest of the world needs to think very seriously about boycott, divestment and sanctions on both the US and Israel. The UK and Germany are borderline.
    We stop them all now, or we're all going to spend the next decade broke and hungry.

Immediately after the ceasefire Israel attacks hundreds of sites in Lebanon, what the heck is that! We are tired of this bloodshed.
