L. Graham threatens sanctions on France, Germany and UK if they follow ICC's warrant

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) threatened a potential global economic meltdown if U.S. allies attempt to enforce an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Quote

The ICC was established by the Rome Statute, which has 124 signatories, though the U.S. and Israel have not signed. Several U.S. allies expressed support for, or an openness to warrant, including Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the U.K.

Quote

"This is a direct threat to the state of Israel," Graham told Sean Hannity while claiming the court is an "anti-Semitic body."

Quote

"And you saw little Justin in Canada and his position," the host said. "What should the penalty be?"

 

"We should crush your economy because we're next," Graham answered. "Why can't they go after Trump or any other American president under this theory? We're not a member of the ICC. In 2002, they threatened to prosecute our soldiers in Afghanistan."

 

Graham later reiterated, "If you help the ICC, we're gonna crush your economy."

miss lindsey it's time to mind your own business. most of the western world is signed up to this court and required under international law to make the arrests. it's not a question of picking and choosing.

 

and even then the bar to actually have a warrant out for a head of state's arrest is crazy high. since not committing war crimes is apparently too much of an ask of netanyahu, at the very minimum all you need to do for the ICC not to issue any warrants is launch your own public inquiry  that's how other western countries who've committed war crimes have avoided arrests. but it just so happens netanyahu is not just evil but dumb too.

If only Germany cared about its flailing economy as much as it does about Israel.

So the US was the evil guy all along? Color me shock

[welham]

The way the West is risking decades-worth of global institution-building that helped upholding their power and influence, just because they don't want to say no to Israel

 

Like, they cannot even take a single L, they're not ready to even "lose" just once. Destroying the international order just to let Israel continue its genocide... 

 

I just know that the countries that have been affected/conceded/abided by the rules of this international order the most are feeling bamboozled and taken for fools even more than they already do.

 

If, and there's a good chance it's a matter of when, the international order breaks over Gaza, good luck convincing most global south countries in joining the new one. The West is proving it's hypocrisy and hollowness so blatantly it's like spitting in the face of non-Western countries.
