Brad Sherman models the perfect pro-Israel Democrat
This piece, written late last week, takes on a new importance in light of the Israeli massacre in Jenin and the Palestinian lone shooter attack in Neve Yakov. More to the point, the importance it’s magnified by Antony Blinken’s contemptible tour of Middle East criminals, from Cairo and al-Sisi to Jerusalem and Netanyahu. The article examines the words of Brad Sherman, one of the most zealous…

Many imagine that the war against the Palestinians was settled in 1948, occasional flare-ups notwithstanding. This elides the experience of Palestinians, for whom the war never ended. Indeed, what Israel experiences as extended periods of calm manifests as uninterrupted siege warfare for the Palestinians of Gaza. Both Israel and the West are only able to ignore this state of war because Palestinians have been so thoroughly dehumanized that their brutal subjugation has been naturalized. To break from this order is violence, to maintain it is peace.

To Investigate or Not to Investigate? Exploring the Legal and Political Quandary Surrounding PRRD and the International Criminal Court
Zacaria Benrajiv T. Guialel AB PolSci 3B
BLOG 6
In recent years, the question of whether President Rodrigo Duterte (PRRD) should be investigated by the International Criminal Court (ICC) has become a contentious issue, sparking debates on both legal and political fronts. As the international community grapples with this dilemma, it is crucial to consider the implications of such an investigation and the potential consequences of both pursuing and abstaining from it.
The primary legal argument in favor of investigating PRRD lies in the alleged human rights abuses associated with his controversial war on drugs. Critics argue that extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests, and other human rights violations have marred his presidency, warranting a thorough examination by the ICC. Proponents of an investigation emphasize the importance of accountability and justice for the victims, asserting that no one, regardless of their position, should be above the law.
On the other hand, those opposing an ICC investigation contend that national sovereignty should be respected, and that domestic institutions should address any allegations of misconduct. They argue that the ICC should only intervene when a state is unwilling or unable to prosecute crimes within its jurisdiction. Skeptics further assert that an ICC investigation may be politically motivated, potentially exacerbating existing tensions and undermining the principle of national self-determination.
The political landscape surrounding PRRD's potential ICC investigation is complex and multifaceted. Domestically, some argue that pursuing such an inquiry could destabilize the Philippines and hinder the government's ability to address pressing issues. There are concerns that an ICC investigation might be exploited by political opponents to undermine the administration, leading to increased political polarization and social unrest.
Internationally, the implications are equally significant. A decision to investigate PRRD could strain diplomatic relations between the Philippines and other nations, particularly those supportive of the current administration. Conversely, a refusal to investigate might be perceived as condoning human rights violations, potentially damaging the Philippines' reputation on the global stage and affecting its standing in international organizations.
If the ICC decides to investigate PRRD, it could set a precedent for holding heads of state accountable for human rights abuses, reinforcing the ICC's role as a global arbiter of justice. However, this may also lead to a further erosion of trust in international institutions, with some nations viewing the ICC as an instrument of powerful nations to exert influence over smaller states. Conversely, if the ICC refrains from investigating, it may be seen as a setback for the pursuit of justice and accountability. Critics argue that this could embolden leaders to act with impunity, sending a message that powerful figures can evade international scrutiny for alleged atrocities.The question of whether to investigate PRRD before the ICC is a complex

Imprints of my Hometown: Directing My Path in PolSci, Peace Studies, and IHL Exploration
Princess Hannah Mapa PSElec 2238 8-703
In a world frequently defined by conflict and disagreement, studying Political Science (PolSci) has become a vital academic pursuit for those who wish to comprehend the complexities of power, governance, and the art of resolving conflicts. For individuals like myself, who have witnessed the grim realities of armed conflicts and terrorism, the importance of delving into subjects like International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and peace studies becomes not just a choice but a moral imperative.
Growing up in Isulan, Sultan Kudarat, I found myself embedded in a place where local armed conflicts and terrorist attacks were, unfortunately, not unfamiliar occurrences. The echoes of bomb blasts and the somber tales of relatives who had faced armed conflicts became a part of the backdrop of my life. These experiences served as an unwavering reminder of the impact political instability and violence can have on communities. The desire to comprehend the intricacies of these conflicts and actively contribute to peace-building efforts led me to pursue a degree in Political Science.
Basically, political science provides an angle through which we can analyze the structure of society as a whole. It offers the means to understand the mechanics that govern international relations and the political motivations behind decisions. The intersection of politics, peace studies, and international humanitarian law can be found within this broad field. An interdisciplinary topic called peace studies investigates the reasons behind war and potential solutions, primarily depending on Political Science. International humanitarian law comes into effect in this situation.
IHL, also known as the law of war or the law of armed conflict, governs the conduct of armed conflicts with the primary goal of minimizing human suffering. It outlines rules for protecting non-combatants, prisoners of war, and other individuals affected by armed conflict. The connection between PolSci, peace studies, and IHL is evident: IHL offers the legal framework to protect individuals caught in the crossfire while understanding the political causes of conflicts is essential for developing successful peace strategies.
Nevertheless, studying IHL and peace has major challenges. Applying these concepts is challenging due to wars' unpredictable nature, the complex interactions between many parties, and the blurry distinctions between combatants and civilians. The frequent conflict between political interests and humanitarian considerations further complicates the search for enduring peace. Navigating these challenges requires a multidisciplinary approach, where understanding political science gives the contextual understanding necessary to execute IHL principles and peace-building strategies properly.
The experiences that compelled me to pursue Political Science have only solidified my belief in the importance of studying IHL and peace studies. My hometown, Sultan Kudarat, serves as a microcosm of the global and national conflicts that continue to ravage societies. It is a reminder that political decisions have far-reaching consequences, and understanding these decisions is crucial for preventing future conflicts. In conclusion, the journey of a PolSci major is not merely an academic pursuit; it is a commitment to unraveling the complexities of human behavior, governance, and conflict resolution, for individuals who have witnessed the horrors of armed conflicts, like myself, studying International Humanitarian Law and peace studies offers a glimmer of hope in a world often overshadowed by strife. By comprehending the intricate connections between politics, peace, and IHL, we pave the way for a more just and harmonious world—one that our experiences and countless others remind us is desperately needed.

"To Investigate or Not To Investigate?" (6)
Louie Izak G. Jacobe (AB Political Science 3B)
If you would ask me this during the peak of former President Rodrigo Duterte’s presidency, I would’ve immediately answered no. But as I reflect and take in more information outside of my perspective or reality, I will pursue to investigate former President Duterte, et al on their violations during the drug war and all other violations that occurred within the timeframe of ICC before we, as a country, withdrew our membership. 
Why the sudden change you may ask? It is because of what I learned in this subject that made me reshape my entire political framework on how, why, what actions should be Right, Neutral, and completely wrong. After reading Rapplers article, I understood the reasoning behind the necessity of opening the investigation.
The Rome Statute dictates that the ICC only intervenes when national jurisdictions are unwilling or unable to prosecute crimes falling within its jurisdiction. In the case of the Philippines, the argument could be made that the domestic legal system has not adequately addressed allegations of human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings linked to the government's war on drugs.
If the ICC were to pursue an investigation into President Duterte et al., several potential implications may unfold. First and foremost, it could lead to a more thorough examination of alleged human rights violations, shedding light on the truth and providing closure for victims and their families. Additionally, it may serve as a deterrent for future leaders who might contemplate similar actions.
However, the investigation may also spark diplomatic tensions with the Philippines and also straining its relations with other nations. Domestic political dynamics may be affected as well, it could potentially influence the outcome of future elections and shape the country's trajectory towards what I think is pure pandemonium. 
For example, most corrupt politicians would learn or begin to learn how to cover more of their dark and dirty sides more covertly and secure it by any means necessary, meaning EJK or Enforced disappearance at a higher level. If they could do this confidently out in the open, imagine how easy it would be to do these sorts of actions outside the watchful eyes of the NGO’s, Human rights advocates, and the public.
Although my previous statements seem reclusive to my answer of “Pursue the Investigation” it is merely a statement of warning towards anyone who is involved or wishes to be involved to be aware of the risks involved. From what I have heard, the political scene can be bloody and costly. 
To wrap up this blog, the call for an ICC investigation into President Duterte, et al.  stems from both legal and political considerations. Such an inquiry has the potential to uphold the principles of justice, human rights, and accountability on the international stage, but its consequences may reverberate across the domestic political landscape. As the global community navigates these complex issues, the pursuit of truth and justice remains paramount to the well-being and livelihood of our respective citizens.

We didn’t need hindsight to see Oslo as a failure
30 years ago today, Yasir Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin shook hands in front of Bill Clinton on the White House lawn. Imaginations got fired up about a post-Cold War world that even saw peace in the Middle East. Obviously, that didn’t happen. But we didn’t need the benefit of hindsight to see that the Oslo Accords could never do what it was meant to do. We didn’t even need to be as smart and…
