Both Biden and Netanyahu's responses to requests from the ICC for arrest warrants surely invite further prosecution?
Right, so nothing quite says I’m innocent like threatening the organisation seeking arrest warrants against you, but that very much appears to be what Benjamin Netanyahu has done on camera to International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, but this is just one example of the screaming fallout coming from some politicians and spokespeople following the announcement that the ICC is pursuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and his defence minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three figures from the Hamas leadership on different, separate charges. Nonetheless, the accusation is that the ICC is committing moral equivalence on this issue, and indeed if the charges were the same, there might be an argument for that, but they aren’t, so there isn’t. There are two separate cases here, one against Hamas leaders and one against Israel’s, the ICC is literally doing it’s job and some in the world so wedded to Israel’s existence that its conduct even down to committing war crimes gets excused, that now sanctions or worse are being threatened against a literal court. Nobody doing this, should be taken seriously as world leaders and actually, they could be committing crimes and risking arrest warrants being issued to them too by carrying on as they are:
Right, so that was Benjamin Netanyahu there saying that he is not concerned about his ability to travel, even though should an arrest warrant be issued, he would be arrested – or should be arrested – if he lands in one of the 124 countries that are state parties to the Rome Statute, the foundation upon which the International Criminal Court is built upon, including this one; but he is worried about the Chief Prosecutor’s ability to travel. Well why would that be then? He’s not in danger of being arrested for war crimes, so what does he have to fear then? What are you saying? Sounds rather threatening to me, very poundshop mafia of you, it would be a shame if you left the Hague, you might have an unfortunate accident kind of vibes. In another clip he compared the potential prosecution of him to prosecuting George Bush over 9/11 or FDR over WWII, emphasising an argument of moral equivalence here, because Hamas are being prosecuted as well as Israel, but it’s afalse equivalence because prosecution is being sought for them separately on separate charges. What the ICC has done, is dare to it’s job and fulfil it’s actual remit and done so despite pressure being put on them to stick to Africa and thugs like Putin and not prosecute western allies. It’s not a case of who do this guy Karim Khan at the ICC think he is, it’s who those refusing to acknowledge the truth of these potential prosecutions and those trying to excuse it that really need asking who do you think you are?
As much as Netanyahu is trying to excuse himself and threaten the ICC prosecutor, calling the ICC and Karim Khan antisemitic, calling the charges on him as being the same as levying charges on the Jewish faith, the same weasel excuses Zionists always come out with, he’s sadly very much not alone:
