On 8 and 9 April, the International Court of Justice in The Hague heard a complaint by Nicaragua accusing the German government of violating the UN Genocide Convention and other international agreements. The highest state court ruled that a criminal law dating from 1864 can be used to imprison doctors who perform abortions. The declaration came only hours after Israeli missiles killed three sons and several grandchildren of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh. Labor's attempts to dupe the population by denying its active complicity in the Gaza genocide are running up against reality. US threats against China underscore that the NATO war with Russia in Ukraine is part of a global war waged by the NATO imperialist powers to assert their world hegemony.
