Summary

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former defense minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza and during the October 2023 attacks.

The court alleges actions like depriving Gaza civilians of essential resources.

Israel and the U.S., non-members of the ICC, reject the warrants, with Netanyahu calling them antisemitic.

Hamas also criticized the decision.

The practical enforcement of these warrants remains uncertain, as the ICC lacks authority to compel arrests.

Isn't it a little anti-semetic to hold the guilty responsible for crimes the whole world knows they did? /s

Just predicting the media spin that's all

It’s quite frankly just like Nazi germany (when they held the Nazis accountable for their war crimes and genocide).

If I ever saw this yahoo and the other yahoo putin, I would shub this yahoo up putin's arse. It's a little unlikely but that's the plan. And probably poke both thru with a cable, and I would give the cable a bunch of extra twists so they couldn't get out.

Kudos to the ICC and make sure they are cell mates. Damn shame it will not happen.

Anyone putting netanyahu and hamas in the same category, gets it.

Finally the only sensible response to what is happening in Israel.

Arrest the leaders on both sides!

I remember saying this should be done at the start of the conflict and I was called a genocide loving Nazi for saying Hamas was just as bad. Hamas leaders are wealthy old men who live in luxury outside of Gaza

It seems that the Hamas leader they've listed the warrant for might already be dead though. I guess if he turns up less dead than expected in a member country they can nab him with the warrant

This has happened already, it's now the 2nd time they've issued the warrent.

This is just the first time the story was allowed through the US media wall

Hey look! Performative European bureaucratic theater that will amount to nothing. I think this is what people call "virtue signalling", no?

More than a year into this shit show chapter of an 80 year conflict, war criminals, authoritarians and genocidal maniacs on both sides, no mechanism to compel arrest or enforce anything, and the Hamas officials that were named are potentially already dead. I can't believe that people don't know empty political gestures tossing red meat when they see it... 🙄

Netanyahu should be a man and go face the ICC himself in response to this warrant. After all, if the facts show that he has acted within the various laws and conventions of war, then he has nothing to fear. He obviously won't however, nor will anyone bother to arrest him in the US or EU.

He's really fucking up the antisemitic thing for the rest of us. The wolf crier isn't a monolith and he's diluting an important communication tool.

Biden is lucky he didnt get included in the warrant.
