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.

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

Imprisonment for live is the highest possible sentence.

God they really just play the antisemitism card for everything

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 4 points 4 hours ago

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.

It's the only card they have

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.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 17 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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).

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 hours ago

Exactly. Israel's actions is Palestine make Jews everywhere less safe.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 21 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 14 hours ago

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

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

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

Arrest the leaders on both sides!

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 12 points 22 hours ago

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

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

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

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

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

[–] Gort@lemm.ee 13 points 22 hours ago

That's what the constant cry wolf has lead to. The absurd has become real.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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?

[–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This makes us look weak and hypocritical to the rest of the world. Stop the unjust war of aggression and annexation! No wait, I meant the other one. This one is a-OK.

[–] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 hour ago

This is part of the collapse of American soft power around the world.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 hours ago

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".

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.
