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.
Now do their enablers.
They couldn’t arrest Bush when he invaded Iraq, they won’t arrest the entire idea of “The leaders of North America and the European Union.”
We can’t arrest Putin, we won’t get Bibi.
Oh for sure. I’m under no illusions about that. But they all deserve the stink of an ICC warrant.
All I want for Christmas is Biden and Blinken in chains.
