airplane Posted May 20 Posted May 20 (edited) Biden won't be happy about this Edited May 20 by airplane 5 2
Pepo Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Great news The US'd better be held accountable for their support too. 2
Tovitov Posted May 20 Posted May 20 FWIW, they also want them for The Hamas Leadership too. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/20/middleeast/icc-israel-hamas-arrest-warrant-war-crimes-intl/index.html
Taylena Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Biden about to officially become someone who has sent weapons to a war criminal. Congrats. 3
Earth Ripper Posted May 20 Posted May 20 This is so friggin welcome. Israeli propagandists won't be able to use their embarrassing "there is no formal prosecution yet, you can't say Israel is targeting civilians!!" bs, nor will they be able to accuse the ICC of defending Hamas, as Hamas leaders are also on the chopping block lol (as they should). They'll find another way to deflect but it's still a big win. My hope is that this will motivate countries to take a bolder stand against the Israeli government, to speed up sanctions and boycott plans, and to fast track recognizing Palestine. The tone set by Karim here is powerfully clear: all civilians deserve protection, and, right now, Palestinian civilians are an urgent priority due to ongoing crimes. This tone should carry over into all public discussions of this genocide and October 7th. 5
Both Sides Now Posted May 20 Posted May 20 (edited) 2 hours ago, airplane said: Biden won't be happy about this Let's be real, the US will sooner bomb The Hague than accept its arrest warrant of Netanyahu. About a year ago, Biden welcomed the ICC arrest warrant against Putin. Watch him now say that the ICC is a corrupt, biased, antisemitic institution that has no jurisdiction.

Eat The Acid Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Oh GREATTTTTT I'm sure this will go down just as well as Putins arrest All this useless virtue signalling. Someone do something useful please. 1
Hurem Posted May 20 Posted May 20 If this actually happens, Biden can officially say goodbye to his re-election. Not like his chances were high anyways, but still.
ZeroSuitBritney Posted May 20 Posted May 20 This is going to get MESSY. Also, the US and Israel don't recognize the ICC. But our elected officials are already threatening them:
Virgos Groove Posted May 20 Posted May 20 22 minutes ago, Both Sides Now said: Let's be real, the US will sooner bomb The Hague than accept its arrest warrant of Netanyahu. The fact that this is actual US policy Quote The United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Act authorizes the president of the United States to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court". This authorization led to the act being colloquially nicknamed "The Hague Invasion Act", as the act allows the president to order U.S. military action, such as an invasion of the Netherlands, where The Hague is located, to protect American officials and military personnel from prosecution or rescue them from custody.[3][4] x 2
Both Sides Now Posted May 20 Posted May 20 The Austrian/German tears have begun Bu-bu-but our genocidal maniac was elected to carry out the genocide!! 2 1
