Top war-crimes court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others in Israel-Hamas fighting
apnews.com
The warrant was issued to Netanyahu, his former defense minister Gallant, and Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes.

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.

    I wonder where this vehement outrage was when the iraquis and turks kill kurds 🙃or when uighurs ger marched to camps. Are you seriously trying to make the case that it has nothing to do with antisemitism?

      I mean, I also don’t agree with either of those things. I stopped buying as many Chinese goods as possible because of the Uighurs’ treatment. There’s not much I can do about the Kurds other than support our government arming them? It really fighting sucks and so do religious extremists any kind.

      It sucks but it’s all a gray area and everyone is an asshole I guess. However, wiping out a population because some of them are assholes is never going to be the answer.
