International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas officials

Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders have condemned ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan’s request for warrants as disgraceful and antisemitic.

Antisemitism does manifest itself in both casual and systematic forms. The region-specific component is also important.

However, claims regarding antisemitism from the Israeli government are increasingly becoming a "reverse confirmation" of sorts. One could almost argue that if they call something antisemitic, chances are it's actually not and may even be the correct course of action (clear cut cases notwithstanding).

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.

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

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

They’ve been preparing for this for a while. Months ago already I remember reading accusations of the ICC being antisemitic by Israelis and various sympathisers. The old fiddle that never stops playing.

Those warrants aren't worth the paper they're printed on, but it's still nice to see official bodies outside the US calling Netanyahu what he is.

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

Arrest the leaders on both sides!

God they really just play the antisemitism card for everything

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.

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?

Now do their enablers.

Finally! Now arrest the fuckers.

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.

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

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

Good news

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 funny how the criminal immediatelly implied that it's a Jewish characteristic to be a criminal like him, just like he and his minions (which includes the American Administration) have been continuously implying that commiting all manner of horrid crimes, from theft and rape all the way to Genocide and purposeful child mass murder, is a Jewish chacteristic.

Like the last bunch of Nazis, these people aren't merelly immoral, they're so depraved, disgusting and devoid of even the most basic humanity that they'll slander millions of those they claim to defend in order to avoid the consequences of acting like the most extreme and out of control psychopath (far beyond mere Serial Murderer and well into Hitler-level).

ICC:
"We acknowledge that Hamas' attacks against civilians are crimes too."

Netanyahu and Hamas in unison:
"What do you mean, 'crimes too'?"

Meanwhile, the slaughter goes on because nobody wants to risk open conflict with the US and they* have a raging hard-on for genocidal imperialism.

*Not all of them, of course, but enough are either complicit or at least complacent that it remains a tenable political position.

Finally... it was about time!

Better late than never, for all the good it will do...

How's that working out?

Biden is lucky he didnt get included in the warrant.

He should be arrested and given a quick trial and hanged.

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

Finally

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

(again)

With Netanyahu calling them antisemetic

Why do they always call justified responses antisemetic? Like I swear, due to this, I have heard a resurgence of people believing that "Hitler was right in his actions" and "he was trying to save us", even though that's clearly a stupid take but I digress.

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"?

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.

Well the ICC won't let me be or let me be me so we'll just see. -- Benjamin Netanyahu

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.

Israel and the U.S., non-members of the ICC, reject the warrants (of the ICC)

Uh, ok?

One thing, why are the Hamas officials never named, and we never get their reaction? I'd really like I to be able to despise both side of that shit medal evenly.

Do they think nobody is going to replace them and resume the conflict?

Anyone who criticizes Netanyahu is immediately called antisemitic.

It's honestly a pathetic shield to hide behind.
