You might not find it surprising. Perhaps what's surprising is that it's completely in the open.
An investigation by The Guardian and the +972 Magazine revealed Israel's campaign to threaten and manipulate the prosecutors of the International Criminal Court.
Fearing the legal and political consequences of potential prosecutions, Israel raced to prepare intelligence teams in the army, the Shin Bet (domestic intelligence), and the Mossad (foreign intelligence), alongside a covert team of military and civilian lawyers, to lead the effort to forestall a full ICC investigation.
All this was coordinated under Israel's National Security Council (NSC), whose authority is derived from the Prime Minister's Office.
Kenneth Roth, a former director of Human Rights Watch and an international affairs scholar, analyses what it means on Democracy Now! I invite you to watch it here:
The criminal, genocidal, and simply thuggish nature of the way Israel has been operating can't be clearer. I've just written how it meets the definition of a rogue state in my previous piece and podcast. This new discovery only serves to confirm it.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.

I've removed the option to support my work from this post. Instead, I invite you to consider supporting my friend's fundraiser to assist displaced people in Gaza.
