The Trump administration is slapping sanctions on four judges at the International Criminal Court over the tribunal's investigation into alleged war crimes by Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza and in the West Bank.
why are the US and Germany so hellbent on defending everything the Netanyahu regime does? As a german I understand and respect our past guilt, but that does not mean we should turn a blind eye to what is happening in Gaza. Just this week a german leftist politian was kicked out of the parliament, because she wore a shirt simply saying "Palestine". Yet Israel badges are allowed. This is so fucking hypocritical, it makes me sick to my stomach.
The USA is abut geopolitics. Israel is their proxy against iran.
It could have been any other israeli government and another prime minister and still do the same
Israel doesnt let US military planes do overflights, or land. It was a huge deal in 2016 when they let a navy destroyer resupply in one of its ports. Does that sound like a puppet to you? We have no real permanenet military bases in Israel either. They wont allow them.
AIPAC (Israel) runs the US political system. Whenever a bill about israel comes up it gets 97% of the vote and it always has for decades, even when less than half the US supports israel. Its essentially bribes. I dont know about germany-- are your politicians also for sale?
By some strange coincidence John F Kennedy was assassinated right after he pushed to have AIPAC registered as a foriegn lobbyist. After he was killed that effort to rightly reregister AIPAC was cancelled. And after Israel shot up a United states Naval vessel (The USS liberty) in international waters during the 6 day war, we did nothing at all. They own us and we do what we're told. Its impressive really. They are a infitesimal part of our population but they pull it off.
It's funny how the article mentions that Russia punished the ICC when they issued an arrest for Putin. Now the US is behaving the same way,but for Netanyahu
