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.

The US and others were fine with it when they issued a warrant for Putin, I'm sure they'll be on board for this as well, right?

''How are you today?'' ''That's an antisemitic question.''

What do rank and file military realize they have to start refusing certain orders?

When do the Americans cut off the supply of certain weapons?

When does the Israeli populace see that a radically new direction is needed to secure peaceful relations "from the river to the sea"?

Shove em all in the same cell, add one vaguely sharp rock, leave them there indefinitely

I heard that Bibi stubbed his toe on an antisemetic table this morning.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bibi has a table that prevents vomiting? What else is that bastard hiding?!

Lmao thanks for pointing out the typo. Or perhaps it’s the zionists that keep making a mistake and are trying to tell us that ending the genocide in Gaza helps them throw up less?

Cue "ICC is antisemitic", just like the ICJ, the UN, every human rights organisation, the Special Rapporteur, independent journalists, protestors etc etc.

Antisemitism and victimhood are the only cards left for Zio fascists to play with.

The original Nazis would always claim that they represented the Arian Race and that any criticism of them was "against the Arian Race" and the Zionists, a Neue Nazi group, do the same only using a different ethnicity.

This is far from the only way in which these Neue Nazis are the same as the original Nazis.

I doubt any country will have the stones to arrest him in the face of US pressure.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure if he ever sets foot in South America he'll be arrested

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 days ago (3 children)

At least with America going full mask off as a force of evil, the rest of the world can stop waiting on us to do the right thing.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Seriously if anything good can come from this the U.S. needs to stop fucking around with other countries sovereignty and handle it's own affairs for a few decades.

Look at what happened to Brazil during trump's presidency. JCPOA. Paris climate accord. The bullshit always overflows.

This is the correct call! A majority of Palestinians and Israeli do not want war. It’s a few bad apples on both sides and they should all be jailed.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 days ago (3 children)

As someone living in Israel, that's a nice thought but a fundamental misunderstanding of Israeli politics. The vast majority of Israelis not only support war but support a complete and total genocide of every Muslim in the middle east. Furthermore a very large amount of Israelis see the hostages as an acceptable loss if it means they can kill more Palestinian civilians. Its not "a few bad apples", Israel is a fundamentally rotten "nation" that only exists on genocide and war.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (8 children)

No one wants their lives disrupted by war. Settlers and the army do not represent the majority.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

The vast majority of Israelis either directly or indirectly support the army. Even the most progressive Israelis (specifically people who call themselves Israeli) will rarely speak out against war crimes.

The majority of Israelis do want war. They only want the hostages out more.

Genocide takes a lot more than a few bad apples making a whoopsie.

Israelis are largely in favor of it. Netanyahus approval has skyrocketed, when they launched the offensive on Lebanon and Israelis opposing the wars and occupation are increasingly targeted by the government and government affiliated "settler" terror groups. These terror groups have ramped up their pogroms in East Jerusalem and the West Bank and decent Israelis who get in their way are beaten while the IDF watches.

Israelis are terrorists who take part of the IDF to ensure the occupation of Palestine.

Of course, people like Haredi Jews and other minorities that don‘t take part of the IDF are innocent. But the rest are terrorists and should be treated as such. ✊

The Palestinian armed resistance is completely valid and it isn’t a „few bad apples“.

Finally! Now arrest the fuckers.

He first needs to come out of Israel to visit a country that recognizes the ICC...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (3 children)

And then the country still needs to actually arrest him. Am I right, Mongolia?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

He is not Putler though. Israelis may be war criminals as much as Russians are but their strength to influence other states decision is somewhat limited. Apart from the USA of course which for some reason appears to be Israeli puppet.
