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.

    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.

      I remember when the people who said ‘if you call everything Nazism, then what are you going to do when the real Nazis arrive’ ended up being Nazis themselves… who did not shy away from calling their opposition fascist and Nazis even when they were wearing Swastikas on them.

      Zionists are the same. The exact same. They are remarkably antisemitic (look up the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl. The guy was a RAGING antisemite!) but at the same time throw that accusation left and right at anything that even remotely disapproves of their actions.

    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.

      Its the one silver lining about trump–he’ll destroy US economic, military and political power and in doing that remove the zionists shield from consequences.

    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).

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

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

      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

    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.

    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.

      They’re in the article:

      The court issued a warrant for Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas’ armed wing, over the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in Gaza…Khan withdrew requests for warrants for two other senior Hamas figures, Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh, who have both since been killed. Israel says it also killed Deif in an airstrike, but Hamas has never confirmed his death.

      Hamas in a statement welcomed the warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant but made no mention of the one against Deif.

        Thank you, I should have verified before commenting. It’s still the feeling I get, that Hamas leadership is way less named than Netanyahu. If at least in the headlines.

    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?

        One thing that many people in America have already learned the hard way, is that conservative Americans could not care less about being hypocritical. In fact, I’m convinced that some see it as a plus because while it means nothing to them, it always seems to “trigger the libs”.

        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?

            Who’d have thunk that 2000 years of conflict …

            It hasnt been 2000 years of conflict. Thats a zionist propganda talking point filthy lie, and shame on you for bringing lies here. Go to reddit with that crap.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_the_Ottoman_Empire

            The experience of Jews in the Ottoman Empire is particularly significant because the region “provided a principal place of refuge for Jews driven out of Western Europe by massacres and persecution.”

            The Ottoman empire was there until recently, spanning 800 years and jewish people were safe and prospered. Its only since the zionists surged back that its been a shitshow. Going back 2000 years, it was a shitshow when the zealot faction of judaism (which is exactly the same faction as modern zionists) committed mass genocide of greeks and romans in the region to establish a jewish state on roman territory and then were put down hard by the romans.
