Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, has been cleared of all wrongdoing by a panel of judges appointed to review the findings of a United Nations investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against him, Middle East Eye can exclusively reveal.

The highly confidential report by the panel of three judges was submitted to the ICC’s executive oversight body, the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), on 9 March. It will not be made publicly available, and has not been seen by the majority of the court's 125 member states.

Since December, the judges, who were appointed by the ASP, have been examining an external fact-finding report conducted by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) into the allegations against Khan, which have unfolded in parallel with his office's efforts to pursue a war crimes investigation against Israeli officials over the war in Gaza.

The charges against him were obviously Israel trying to get him discredited. He had brought arrest warrants against the Israeli leaders earlier in the year.

You can read a great long form article from before then, about the tactics they were using against his office, especially in light of the charges he was bringing (relating to the genocide and the many crimes against humanity Israel were committing) -

This one is ripe for conspiracy theories. Is this a boys clubs covering up for a mate? Is it spurious charges brought to discredit him?

The second. The Zionist lobby using sexual assault as blackmail.
