The Architecture of Impunity
Six days before a private phone call, Senator Lindsey Graham had already put it in writing: unresolved misconduct allegations against the ICC’s chief prosecutor had cast, in his words, “another cloud, a moral one.” The recording that surfaced this week shows what came next: Netanyahu coached, phone by phone, on how to work that cloud into a bipartisan Senate letter, with a diplomatic favor settled on the side. On nancyperin.com, an update to The Architecture of Impunity traces how that call fits a wider pattern, and where it reaches Canada.
The Licence to look away
A surveillance camera on a wall in the occupied West Bank, flagging a hoodie, a movement pattern—Canadian-funded, Israeli-built, later deployed on Greek refugees, now aimed inward through Bill C-22. On Nancy Perin, a forensic tracing of Canadian foreign policy from Stephen Harper’s Christian Zionist alignment and his venture capital in Israeli military surveillance tech, through Mark Carney’s “principled and pragmatic” doctrine and its Defence, Security and Resilience Bank. The story Canada keeps telling itself about its values—and the policy record that contradicts it sentence by sentence.
