Israeli Historian Ilan Pappé on Interrogation at U.S. Airport and "Collapse of the Zionist Project"
We speak with renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappé about his recent trip to the United States, when he was interrogated for two hours by federal agents upon arrival at Detroit airport about his political views on Gaza, Hamas and Israel, as well as demanding to know whom he knew in U.S. Muslim, Arab and Palestinian communities. Pappé was only allowed to enter the country after agents copied the contents of his phone. "They refused to tell me why they stopped me," he says. Pappé, author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, also discusses the Nakba, growing support for Palestinian rights, and why he believes "the collapse of the Zionist project" is imminent.

"A Watershed Event": ICC Charges Against Netanyahu First Time Court Has Gone After Western Leader
Israel and the United States have both strongly condemned the International Criminal Court's decision to pursue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on war crimes charges, calling it "outrageous" and seeking support from other allies in opposing the court's moves. On Monday, ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan outlined specific charges against Netanyahu and Gallant, including "starvation of civilians as a method of warfare" and "extermination." The ICC also sought arrest warrants for three leaders of Hamas — Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif — for war crimes including extermination and murder, the taking of captives, torture, rape and other acts of sexual violence. The warrants for Israel's top leaders, which must still be approved by a panel of ICC judges, is "a watershed event in the history of international justice," says war crimes prosecutor Reed Brody. "This is the first time that a Western or pro-Western leader is [the] subject of an indictment request."

We also speak with Israeli historian Ilan Pappé, author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, who says Israel's strident response to the ICC prosecutor is no surprise. "This is the kind of Israel we have in 2024. It doesn't care about international law. It doesn't care about international opinion," says Pappé.

Embattled FDIC Chair Says He's Ready to Resign After Damning Workplace Probe
Reuters/Evelyn HocksteinMonths after he was accused of overseeing a "boy's club" workplace rife with misogyny and harassment, the FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg said Wednesday he's prepared to step down once a successor is confirmed.

"In light of recent events, I am prepared to step down from my responsibilities once a successor is confirmed," he said. "Until that time, I will continue to fulfill my responsibilities as Chairman of the FDIC, including the transformation of the FDIC's workplace culture."

A Wall Street Journal report in November marked the beginning of Gruenberg's downfall, with women at the FDIC claiming male employees got to keep their jobs despite sending colleagues pictures of their penises, inviting others to a strip club, and speaking openly about having sex with a subordinate. The agency was also accused of tolerating a messy drinking culture, with staffers having allegedly urinated off the roof and vomited in the elevator of a hotel where employees are housed for trainings.

Int'l Criminal Court Seeks Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant & Hamas Leaders for War Crimes
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has announced he is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and three leaders of Hamas: Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif. The charges against Netanyahu and Gallant include starvation of civilians, extermination, intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population, among other crimes. The charges against the Hamas leaders include extermination, murder, taking hostages, rape, among other crimes. "It places Israel's leaders of this genocidal onslaught on the Gaza Strip in the dock," says Middle East analyst Mouin Rabbani, who explains why this will be "very significant" for Israel's allies and signatories to the ICC. "They now have to make a choice between Israeli impunity and obligations under the Rome Statute."
