On International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, Gisèle Pelicot serves as a symbol of defiance in France. Waving the right to anonymity, she is currently facing 50 of her rapists in court. She endured over a decade of abuse, including more than 200 assaults orchestrated by her husband through online recruitment. Her trial has sparked widespread protests across France and has renewed the conversation about patriarchal violence. Her message to other survivors is: "Shame is theirs, not ours."

Uruguay’s leftist party, the Broad Front, has won the presidential elections and defeated the ruling neoliberal government of President Lacalle Pou. The president-elect Yamandú Orsi is seen as the protégé of Pepe Mujica, former president and leftist guerilla fighter.
The Broad Front is a coalition containing social democrats, socialists, as well as the Communist Party of Uruguay. It has also contained right-wing figures such as Luis Almagro, current chief of the Organization of American States. Almagro spearheaded coup attempts in Venezuela, Bolivia and elsewhere. He was expelled in 2019 for his positions on these issues.

124 countries worldwide are legally obligated to arrest both Netanyahu and Gallant following the ICC's recent issuance of arrest warrants. The ICC does not have an enforcement mechanism of its own, so it is up to the individual countries themselves to enforce the warrants.

Despite its obligation under the Rome Statute to arrest war criminals, Germany still “finds it hard to imagine” justice. Germany’s complicity in Israel’s war crimes in Gaza put the German state in a pickle regarding the ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant.

Will the US invade the Netherlands? Since the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant, the US could trigger a 2002 law that allows them to invade the ICC if they prosecute an American or ally of the US.

Gazans tell red. media what they think about the ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant. Most doubt they will be implemented as Israel commits its crimes with protection from the West. After over a year of genocide, Palestinians understandably have no faith in international law.

Borrell has said the EU must respect the ICC’s arrest warrants of Netanyahu and Gallant. But one glaring question remains: will the EU continue to fund and arm the genocidal government to which Bibi and Yoav belong?

“There is only the path of resistance, and there is no other option.” Listen to a Palestinian fighter during the funeral of a brother in arms. The Israeli occupation forces invaded Jenin and other locations across in the West Bank, killing at least eight Palestinians.
Despite the continued invasions and assassinations, Israel has failed to end the resistance in the West Bank. In every invasion, fighters continue to confront Israeli forces with their rifles and explosive devices.

Willful ignorance? Liberals enraged about Trump’s plan to use the military to conduct mass deportations seem to forget that Biden and Obama both deported and expelled more people than Trump.
Biden, in particular, exploited Title 42 to refuse entry to migrants and asylum seekers by citing risks related to the spread of COVID-19.
The US also proportionally deported more people without any criminal record under Biden when compared to Trump.

Venezuelan President Maduro has warned that right-wing oppositionists who support sanctions “will face consequences” for their attacks on the Venezuelan people. This comes in the context of the new sanctions announced by the Biden administration this week.
The ironically named “BOLIVAR Act” passed in Congress this week would prevent the US government from contracting any companies that have any investments in Venezuela. This will add to the more than 930 sanctions that the US already has in place against the country.
These sanctions are part of a wider attack on Venezuela from the Biden administration this week. Watch here.

Did you know that FIFA once tried to force the Soviet national football team to play a World Cup play-off match in a blood-soaked concentration camp? Fifty-one years ago today, the second leg of the play-off for a place in the 1974 World Cup in West Germany was due to be held between Chile and the Soviet Union.
However, following a 0-0 draw in Moscow, the second leg was due to be played at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, where thousands of socialists and communists had been tortured and executed following a fascist coup two months before. The Soviets refused to play in the stadium, and what followed was one of the most bizarre football matches ever. Read on.

Desperate to reach the US before Trump’s inauguration, another migrant caravan has set off from Mexico. At least 1,500 migrants will walk over 1,700 kilometers in a last-ditch attempt to cross the border.
The largest groups within these caravans include those escaping security crises and high poverty rates in neoliberal countries such as Ecuador, Peru, Haiti, and other Central American countries. It also includes people forced out of their countries due to the effects of US sanctions, such as in Venezuela.
This week, Trump promised to use the military to crack down on migrants and begin the largest mass deportation program in history. If implemented, it would inevitably worsen the human rights abuses already being meted out against those trying to cross the southern border.
