so some pretty serious issues that um, however, we heard from the white house and the state department of israel has dealt with the offenders. so it's all low tech fears are mounting and israel as well. we need to mention this stuff. the instructional criminal court could soon at issue arrest warrants for top officials, including benjamin and nets and yahoo. but the case actually has nothing to do with the ongoing more either. right? right. this could come from the i c. c. as soon as the end of this week, and it's interesting because nothing yahoo has said this is for the a crazy time. not absolutely in any sense. so full come back and label we. we finish with the quote, you know, there are many who are trying to prevent us from doing this recently. and they were joined by another force. the international criminal court in the hawk. and these cold has no authority over the state of israel and a possibility that it will issue arrest warrants for war crimes against ideas, commanders, and state leaders get a scandal on the historical scale. netanyahu feels that he should be protected. apparently he

the biden administration is israel with regimes in iran, russia, afghanistan and sudan on its list of the world's most egregious human rights violators. the state departmentmes as u.s. relations with israel are under significant strain over the jewish state's conflict at war with hamas and treatment of palestinian civilians inside gaza. state department correspondent gillian turner has details tonight. >> do we have a double standard? the answer is no. >> gillian: secretary antony blinken roolg rolling out the state department human rights report. defending decision israel's government with some of the deadliest regimes around the world. >> as we are looking at human rights and condition of human rights around the world, we apply the same standard to everyone. >> but today an explosive acknowledgment from ambassador david satterfield, president biden's humanitarian envoy to the mideast. he says there is, in fact, a very different standard for israel's conduct. >> we require from israel, because it is the right and moral thing to do a very different standard of conduct. the president made clear on his visit to israel shortly after october 7th. it's not jus

loving country and radical islamists you don't deserve to be in the state department let alone being president of the united states so israele a friend in the white house right no because they are playing both sides is impairment are not willing to speak truth and as a result these reports become meaningless because they are based on nothing. >> martha: as you are talking, pete, my mind goes back to the video that i watched it happen on october 7th. and i remember one of the hamas fighters, there's a cell phone conversation that was recorded on that day -- >> i remember too. >> martha: year, where he called his parents in gaza where he says mom, dad, he would be so proud of me. i just killed ten jews. and he is -- his mom and dad are cheering say i wish i was there with you for this. so this is what israel has been up against in this situation, you know, i mean it's easy to forget all of this, but that is what started this and i wonder, i often also think, as we are watching this, that hamas knew that the response from israel would be in norma's ways on how savage that attack was. so they must be thrilled when they see the

in exchange for thousands of palestinians to be released by israel and in the middle of all of this, as israel is fighting for its owner survival, the state departmentst israel. the u.s. state department claimed it found five units of thes israel defense forces responsible for what they're calling gross violations of human rights. all of these incidents i'm referring to happened before october 7th attack on israel, nothing happening in gaza. the state department says four units have been reme remediate. they are looking at cutting off military training equipment and other aid. here you have the state department actually threatening the israeli defense forces in the myof their own sur -- middle of their own survival. your reaction? >> well, war crimes happen in war. even on behalf of democratic states and that is true for the united states and it's true for israel. what's different about the united states and israel as compared to russia, as compared to hamas and other terrorist organizations is that we address those war crimes. we have a judicial system. and we put those cases before a jury to determine if there is actually guilt here. in four out o

israel and taiwan. this is how the official representative of our foreign policy department, maria zakharova, assesses all this. allocation of military assistance by the united statesrael and taiwan will be aggravated by the global crisis. military assistance to the kiev regime is direct sponsorship of terrorist activities. taiwan, interference in the internal affairs of china, israel, a direct path to escalation. unprecedented escalation in the region. however, the new tranches are unlikely to help ukraine , says american billionaire david sachs. his opinion is that kiev will collapse in any case, and he considers this 61 billion only a starting point, because the wars in iraq and afghanistan also began with the same amount per year, in ultimately cost trillions of dollars. and another adopted bill is being discussed by entrepreneurs on the confiscation of russian assets in favor of ukraine, an obvious signal to business that the west is unreliable, maybe just. rob if a convenient moment presents itself . let me remind you that after the start of the special operation , the west froze almost half of our foreign exchange reserves, about $300 billion; in europe, whe

of lebanon, obviously, fighting as the law. and meanwhile, the united states keeps giving israel a pass every, in every sense possible. one of the things is becoming very apparent also is watching state department officials approach the press and even even the people that want act or practice acts as journalism. the see them kind of, there was, there was a staring into space like they can't believe what they're hearing. they don't have the courage enough to push back yet. but there was something in the or how do you explain the moment. we're in sam. and i think that this is the combination of a long designed um, uh, setup parameters that between the us and is ro to bludgeon the palestinians. october 7th, was simply the pretext for the tendency that as well as long as the ultimately genocidal project turned into ethnically cleanse of the palestinian people. um, barton is attempt no parts of the truth of this have gotten to the us public biden is attempting to distance himself from this establishment. media which enabled this are attempting to distance themselves from this the international community. and in spite of the efforts of south africa, the international court of justice has not no reaso
