"The EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borell, warns Israel not to intimidate ICC judges"
Earlier this week after the news of a potential ICC warrant, Netanyahu said he had no fear of travelling internationally & that Khan "should be concerned about his [Kahn's] status”.
"Khan says he was also warned by a senior western official that the ICC should be for Africa and for thugs like Putin, not for the West and its allies."
We are finding out who the real fascists are in the world today. The christian Taliban leadership of Poland standing firm behind the genocidal regime of Israel.
EU should have punished and even kicked Poland out of EU when they became the torture center for CIA and US state department during Bush presidency.
But sadly, crimes against EUs so called fundamental foundation of human rights, don't cover crimes against Muslims or people of color. Not to forget their outrageous Taliban style abortion laws or continues torture, mistreatment and even murder of immigrants.
“Despite efforts by #Biden and Congressional leaders to assert that the #ICC has some kind of anti-#Israel bias, nearly every leader ever prosecuted by the ICC prior to 2023 has been African, including presidents of Liberia, Libya and Sudan. #Netanyahu and Gallant would be the first US-allied leaders ever indicted by the ICC.
It appears, then, that in Washington’s view, international humanitarian law should only apply to leaders not supported by the #UnitedStates”
It's probably best not to trust any Israeli voices on the state of things in #Israel or #Gaza. Even this Israeli "scholar," who admits that Israelis are almost unanimously pro-genocide, is pushing the "sexual violence" lie about Oct. 7.
I think it's cute that the only standard of international justice #Palestine recognizes is the #icj and #Hamas basically told the court to fuck off after it declared Hamas international criminals with #Netanyahu.
A representative of the German government clarified that if an international arrest warrant is issued against Israeli Prime Minister #Netanyahu, #Germany will be obliged to arrest him.
"We are bound by law, Germany supports the court and will remain so," spokesman Stefan Hebstreit said. #ICC
« Le 20 mai 2024, le procureur de la #CourPénaleInternationale#KarimKhan a demandé un mandat d'arrêt à l'encontre de plusieurs dirigeants israéliens, dont Benjamin #Netanyahu concernant la situation en #Palestine ainsi que 3 dirigeants du #Hamas [..] #JohannSoufi revient sur cette annonce et les conséquences que cette requête de mandat d’arrêt pourrait avoir en matière de réponse internationale. »
[...Martin Luther] King demonstrated that 👉you can’t advance democracy at home when you suppress it abroad. That vision rings as true today for Gaza as it did for Vietnam in 1967.👈
...both critics and right-wing allies indicate that 👉the support was intended to help maintain divisions between the #PalestinianAuthority and #Hamas👈, weakening #Palestinian leadership and 👉bolstering the claim that #Israel had no viable negotiating partner for a two-state settlement.👈 The policy was premised on the flawed assumption that 👉#Hamas had neither the capacity nor the intent to launch a...
House Speaker Republican Mike Johnson told reporters Tuesday that his office notified Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer’s staff the day before that if the Senate leader does not sign the draft invitation for Netanyahu by Tuesday, he will proceed with inviting the Israeli prime minister to address just the House. The Speaker, however, noted that he would invite senators to attend the speech.
Republicans just don't care what damage they cause in their quest for power sadly.
The #UnitedStates should slap sanctions on ICC ofcls who seek an #arrest#warrant for PM Benjamin Netanyahu, a top foreign policy adviser to #Republican presidential #candidate Donald Trump said on Tues after meeting the Israeli leader.
#Norway's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Espen Barth Eide, stated that Norway is now obligated to arrest #Netanyahu if he visits the country after the International Criminal Court issues a decision for his arrest for war crimes in Gaza.
This marks the first country to announce its intention to arrest Netanyahu amid global reluctance following #US threats.
Oppressive regimes control & selectively remove media coverage, SM..., that keep them accountable. Netanyahu may be covering up more war crimes:
Israeli officials seize AP EQP & take down live shot of northern Gaza, citing new media law. The QA satellite channel is among 1000s of clients that receive live video feeds from the AP & other news orgs. The AP denounced the move.
"Israel's obstruction of aid: The UN "has suspended food distribution in the southern Gaza city of Rafah due to lack of supplies and insecurity. It also said no aid trucks entered via a pier set up by the U.S. for sea deliveries for the past two days."
@GryphonSK Some are, yes. But I'm unclear what your point is? If it's that some Jews don't support #Netanyahu, true and add me to that list. If it's that some #Jews want #Israel to mitigate innocent deaths, great and add me to that list as well.
But nearly no Jews are calling for the dissolution of Israel or chanting "From the River to the Sea" or ripping down hostage posters or drawing swastikas on Jewish establishments.
Those are anarchists, "progressives" and anti-semites.
