Donald E. Stokes
Donald E. Stokes (1 April 1927 – 26 January 1997) was an American political scientist and dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
Stokes was a founder of public opinion research, and a coauthor of the seminal book "The American Voter".
Stokes was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on April 1, 1957.
He obtained a bachelor's degree from Princeton University in 1951, and a PhD from Yale University in 1958.
Stokes began to work at the University of Michigan in 1958.
There he collaborated with fellow University of Michigan social scientists Angus Campbell, Philip Converse, and Warren Miller to write "The American Voter", which was one of the first major empirical studies of voting behavior.
Through thousands of interviews with American citizens during the election periods in 1948, 1952, 1954, 1956 and 1958, the authors first identified several of the core results in voting behavior that would form the Michigan model.
These include the importance of party identification, the low information level of many voters, and the large number of voters who remain undecided until immediately before an election.
In 1966, Campbell, Converse, Miller, and Stokes followed "The American Voter" with another book, "Elections and the Political Order".
Stokes studied the politics of the United Kingdom as well as American politics; he and David Butler conducted the first British Election Study, and coauthored the 1969 book "Political Change in Britain".
In 1971, Stokes became the dean of the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan.
He held that position until 1974, when he moved to Princeton University.
At Princeton, he became the dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, which expanded significantly under his oversight.
Towards the end of his career, Stokes published the book "Pasteur's Quadrant", which studied the connection between basic science, applied science, and government policies.
Stokes is one of the most cited political scientists of all time, and is widely regarded as a founding scholar in the empirical study of political behavior.
Harold Tafler Shapiro, who was president of the University of Michigan and then of Princeton University, called Stokes "a pioneer in the development of modern political science".
International Criminal Court investigation in Palestine
On 20 December 2019, International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda announced an investigation into alleged war crimes committed during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
A preliminary investigation had been ongoing since 2015.
Israel is not a member of ICC, but the State of Palestine was allowed to join in 2015.
Israel has argued that the court does not apply to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because Palestine is not a state, as Israeli attorney general Avichai Mandelblit argued in a brief released hours before Bensouda's announcement.
On three previous occasions, Bensouda has refused to open investigations against Israel related to the 2010 Gaza flotilla raid.
According to Bensouda, the criteria for a full investigation had all been met, but jurisdiction had not been established.
Bensouda stated, "I am satisfied that war crimes have been or are being committed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip".
According to Bensouda's report, the Israeli judicial system already makes provision for punishing those accused of war crimes—meaning that the ICC may not have jurisdiction over alleged Israeli violations.
Bensouda also found "a reasonable basis to believe that members of Hamas and Palestinian armed groups" are guilty of war crimes, but these groups have no mechanism for punishing such violations.
Israel is accused of illegally establishing West Bank settlements and violating the laws of war during the 2014 Gaza War, including claims of targeting Red Cross installations.
Armed Palestinian organizations, including Hamas, are accused of deliberately attacking Israeli civilians and using Palestinians as human shields.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the investigation as "a black day for truth and justice" and "pure antisemitism", while Israeli newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" denounced "The Hague's hypocrisy" in a headline.
In an interview with "Times of Israel" Bensouda described the charge of antisemitism as "a particularly regrettable accusation that is without merit" and emphasized that the court strives to be fair and impartial.
United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated, "We firmly oppose this and any other action that seeks to target Israel unfairly."
