ICC Issues Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu, Galant, Deif

The international criminal court has issued arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, the county's former defence minister Yoav Gallant and the Hamas leader Mohammed Deif for alleged war crimes relating to the Gaza war.

Further from BBC (www.bbc.com):

It will now be up to the ICC's 124 member states - which do not include Israel or its ally, the United States - to decide whether or not to enforce the warrants.
In May, the ICC prosecutor Karim Khan sought warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, Deif and two other Hamas leaders who have since been killed, Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar. Although Israel believes Deif has also been killed, the chamber said it was not able to confirm his death.
The prosecutor's case against them stems from the events of 7 October 2023, when Hamas gunmen attacked southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 others back to Gaza as hostages.
Israel responded to the attack by launching a military campaign to eliminate Hamas, during which at least 44,000 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.
Mr Khan accused the Hamas leaders of crimes against humanity and war crimes including extermination, murder, the taking of hostages, rape and torture.
For the Israeli leaders, the accusations included deliberate attacks on civilians, and the use of starvation as a weapon of war, as well as extermination and murder.

Good. Let Justice be done.

Lying to, cheating, stealing from, raping, murdering and extermination of non-chosen are all legislated in the Talmud and/or Torah.
So it's no surprise when those permissions are found embedded into the social and legal fabric of a Zionist ethno-supremacist state.

This would be great news if the ICC had the power to actually do something and arrest these criminals. As it is they just have slightly limited vacation options.

No warrants for the Taliban? No warrants for Xi for his war in Myanmar? No warrants for....

You lie in what you wrote. Why do you not go live in Iran, or Afghanistan or Syria? Maybe Sudan will strike your fancy? All those places subjugate women into chattel ------- and in their official state documents they talk about killing all Jews, Christians and Americans yet, here you are bandwagoning against the only state that is Jewish? Sure, the Israeli president is a scumbag but I think your racism is hanging out on a branch for all to see. You condemn one state for doing something multiple states do around the globe like Russian in Ukraine and China and Myanmar and not a whisper from you hypocrites. Why is that? I know it is because you hate Jewish people and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Nazis, KKK, Taliban, Hamass, Al Qaeda and ISIS.

Arrests will never happen. The ICC has become a paper tiger.

Israel is the prize we got for winning WWII, along with Britain, who alone lost 2 million troops in N. Africa... it's not a great prize itself, but geopolitically the area hasn't diminished in importance.

Well, unless Trump truly is the biblical Antichrist (who's description and deeds he mirrors perfectly, in the eerily similar geopolitical climate described precisely as we have right now)

because IF he is, that bible character in that particular area of the world... will make a Peace Covenant with Israel and all her neighbors.

In this case built on his already established Abraham Accords, (to be renamed the Trump Accords as he originally wanted), and an additional 7 years Peace Treaty that the Antichrist character in the story himself breaks by attacking... Israel.

Yes. The story has everything. The Antichrist, backed by some Christians, not by others, directs the American Military, the modern day equivalent to the Roman Empire (last one was the Third Reich) to light up and destroy Jerusalem.

Which is when there is divine intervention, and New Jerusalem appears above what's left of the Old Jerusalem of today.

But that's just a very old tale that happens to predict this particular person, well described, in this particular end time scenario, also well described.

Make of it what you will.

There's others on the current economic and geopolitical situation matching the story setting circumstances of the nations involved just as today.

Iran was a very westernized, progressive, secular nation, until America had need for them not to be anymore.

Iraq was a country where men and women were equal up until the United States had need for them not to be anymore.

I've said that I have the popcorn out... 'member how fun the last Trump was?

This new spin-off tv series for Trumpers will definitely be entertaining what with all the Fox News and House Clown Republicans invading the WH like Vlad on Ukraine.

Sometimes the truth is a bitter pill for those who have had the wool pulled over their eyes for so long.

"You condemn one state for doing something multiple states do around the globe"

Please let me know the next time America gives any of those states billions of dollars in military assets to help enable genocide or kindly inform me the next time leadership from any of those countries visits Washington DC and is given multiple standing ovations by 99% of the US Congress.

Thx.

The US literally has a law on the books that we can invade The Hague if they ever hold a US citizen for war crimes.

I wonder when that was passed?

Hmm... 2002...

What was going on back then again? Anyone remember?

The smelly------------- who killed over a million Americans is still waddling around.

What a joke.

Name me an Arab state that still has a relevant Jewish community.

The Arabs were actually far better at killing ----- than the Nazis were. Most of them were successful in ridding their countries of the Jewish vermin.

And the ICC did nothing.
