Deep dives
Starting Your Garden
Select a sunny spot for your garden, whether it's a windowsill, balcony, or patch of ground. Build or buy a planter for your plants, ensuring it has good drainage. Consider the soil composition by testing the chemistry, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Utilize free compost from local tips or create your own compost at home using kitchen waste and organic matter.
Choosing the Right Plants
Consult the USDA Plant Hardiness Map to determine the plant suitability for your region. Consider high-yielding plants like perpetual spinach, tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. Adapt the plant selection based on your space constraints and climate conditions to ensure optimal growth and yield.
Planting and Maintenance
Plant the selected vegetables according to your garden zones and space availability. Ensure proper sunlight, water, and care to facilitate plant growth. Consider the growth time window to align with your climate and harvest goals. Regular monitoring and maintenance will help in achieving a successful and thriving garden.
The Prosecutor's Failure
The prosecutor's failure in presenting the case effectively and establishing a clear narrative around the crime, focusing on a bystander's testimony instead of emphasizing the true threat posed by the defendants' actions.
Errors in Presenting Evidence
Critical errors in presenting evidence, including lack of testimonies from actual victims who were hurt during the incident, missed opportunities to highlight key moments of intimidation, such as verbal threats and physical confrontations.
Misinterpretation of Fear
The misunderstanding of fear in the legal context, where the defense exploited the absence of apparent fear in certain video footage and failed to connect key moments showing the defendants' clear intent to intimidate and harm the counter protesters.
Use of Threats and Undermining Campaign
The former head of Mossad, Yossi Cohen, was personally involved in a campaign to threaten and compromise the ICC prosecutor. This operation, authorized at a high level, aimed to intimidate the prosecutor and dissuade her actions against Israel, suggesting threats to her security and family if she did not cooperate with Israeli demands.
International Criminal Court Investigations and Arrest Warrants
The ICC announced arrest warrants against former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and three Hamas leaders, highlighting their involvement in war crimes. This action signifies a significant step towards accountability for alleged war crimes committed by individuals on different sides of the conflict, including the threats posed by Hamas and the Israeli government.
War Crimes Expectations and Relevance
The commitment to prosecuting war crimes has prompted Israel to actively undermine the ICC and threaten individuals involved in investigations. While the pursuit of justice through such legal measures may face challenges, including threats and complexities, it signifies a critical step towards accountability and addressing egregious acts committed during conflicts.
