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.

God they really just play the antisemitism card for everything
It’s the only card they have
I remember when the people who said ‘if you call everything Nazism, then what are you going to do when the real Nazis arrive’ ended up being Nazis themselves… who did not shy away from calling their opposition fascist and Nazis even when they were wearing Swastikas on them.
Zionists are the same. The exact same. They are remarkably antisemitic (look up the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl. The guy was a RAGING antisemite!) but at the same time throw that accusation left and right at anything that even remotely disapproves of their actions.
It’s about fucking time! This should’ve happened much earlier.
Anf of course Netanyahu is hiding behind the discrimination card.
With Netanyahu calling them antisemetic
Why do they always call justified responses antisemetic? Like I swear, due to this, I have heard a resurgence of people believing that “Hitler was right in his actions” and “he was trying to save us”, even though that’s clearly a stupid take but I digress.
ICC:
“We acknowledge that Hamas’ attacks against civilians are crimes too.”Netanyahu and Hamas in unison:
“What do you mean, ‘crimes too’?”Meanwhile, the slaughter goes on because nobody wants to risk open conflict with the US and they* have a raging hard-on for genocidal imperialism.
*Not all of them, of course, but enough are either complicit or at least complacent that it remains a tenable political position.
Its the one silver lining about trump–he’ll destroy US economic, military and political power and in doing that remove the zionists shield from consequences.
Finally the only sensible response to what is happening in Israel.
Arrest the leaders on both sides!
It seems that the Hamas leader they’ve listed the warrant for might already be dead though. I guess if he turns up less dead than expected in a member country they can nab him with the warrant
I remember saying this should be done at the start of the conflict and I was called a genocide loving Nazi for saying Hamas was just as bad. Hamas leaders are wealthy old men who live in luxury outside of Gaza
Sinwar and the others listed in the warrant were inside Gaza. Pretending otherwise was part of Israeli propaganda
Are you still going with this “Hamas are the good guys” bullshit?
That’s not what I said, I said that it’s propaganda to pretend Hamas’ leaders are not in Gaza.
So the reports saying they’re not there, fake news. The reports saying they are, Believe it without question?
What country was Sinwar found in again? A spokesman or negotiator in Qatar is not the same as the leadership. Try again.

Isn’t it a little anti-semetic to hold the guilty responsible for crimes the whole world knows they did? /s
Just predicting the media spin that’s all
It’s quite frankly just like Nazi germany (when they held the Nazis accountable for their war crimes and genocide).
It’s funny how the criminal immediatelly implied that it’s a Jewish characteristic to be a criminal like him, just like he and his minions (which includes the American Administration) have been continuously implying that commiting all manner of horrid crimes, from theft and rape all the way to Genocide and purposeful child mass murder, is a Jewish chacteristic.
Like the last bunch of Nazis, these people aren’t merelly immoral, they’re so depraved, disgusting and devoid of even the most basic humanity that they’ll slander millions of those they claim to defend in order to avoid the consequences of acting like the most extreme and out of control psychopath (far beyond mere Serial Murderer and well into Hitler-level).
Exactly. Israel’s actions is Palestine make Jews everywhere less safe.
Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders have condemned ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan’s request for warrants as disgraceful and antisemitic.
Antisemitism does manifest itself in both casual and systematic forms. The region-specific component is also important.
However, claims regarding antisemitism from the Israeli government are increasingly becoming a “reverse confirmation” of sorts. One could almost argue that if they call something antisemitic, chances are it’s actually not and may even be the correct course of action (clear cut cases notwithstanding).
As a Jew, I’m becoming desensitized to the word “antisemitic.” Even my Israeli cousins overuse the word and can’t explain to me how this kind of shit is antisemitism beyond “Hamas wants to kill us.”
“You can’t cry wolf and BE the wolves. Do you not understand what the villagers do to wolves?”
the Palestinians did not get to choose the ethnicity of their oppressors.
The brits? The ottomans?
And most recently, the Israeli government.
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.

Decrying the persecution of crimes against humanity as antisemitic is quite something. It begs the question then, what these people see inherently Semitic about perpetrating these crimes.
The blatant misuse of this term is actually very harmful to Jews around the world, since calls of those actually suffering from anti-Jewish sentiment are not taken seriously anymore.

That’s the definition they use, so anything you say against the State they see as being against the ethnicity, which doesn’t make sense.
Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders have condemned request for warrants as disgraceful and antisemitic.
I wasn’t aware he was a stand up comedian. I mean, I always knew he was a clown.
TLDR: it’s not antisemitic, it’s just anti-Bibi.
It’s like how if some random dipshit harms someone else they go “Oh, so it’s okay to hate men? I’m a man so I’m the bad guy?”
When no, you’re the one who assalted someone. What you are doesn’t define actions.
What region-specific component are you referring to? I’m genuinely asking, not being argumentative. I completely agree that holding Netanyahu accountable for war crimes is not antisemitism, let alone the ICC charging leaders on both sides of the conflict.
I am looking at it from a more abstract, generic perspective.
When you lose the right to freely travel, work, live in your country. There is going to be a lot of animosity around this. I don’t think it is fair to purely attribute this to a discriminatory attitude.
He should be arrested and given a quick trial and hanged.
Imprisonment for live is the highest possible sentence.
Wasn’t Sadam Houssein sentenced to death?
That wasn’t the ICC, it was the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal, set up by the US.
Sadly.
I heard that Bibi stubbed his toe on an antisemetic table this morning.
Bibi has a table that prevents vomiting? What else is that bastard hiding?!
Lmao thanks for pointing out the typo. Or perhaps it’s the zionists that keep making a mistake and are trying to tell us that ending the genocide in Gaza helps them throw up less?
Who’d have thunk that 2000 years of conflict was all a misunderstanding about spelling…
Who’d have thunk that 2000 years of conflict …
It hasnt been 2000 years of conflict. Thats a zionist propganda talking point filthy lie, and shame on you for bringing lies here. Go to reddit with that crap.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_the_Ottoman_Empire
The experience of Jews in the Ottoman Empire is particularly significant because the region “provided a principal place of refuge for Jews driven out of Western Europe by massacres and persecution.”
The Ottoman empire was there until recently, spanning 800 years and jewish people were safe and prospered. Its only since the zionists surged back that its been a shitshow. Going back 2000 years, it was a shitshow when the zealot faction of judaism (which is exactly the same faction as modern zionists) committed mass genocide of greeks and romans in the region to establish a jewish state on roman territory and then were put down hard by the romans.

Cue “ICC is antisemitic”, just like the ICJ, the UN, every human rights organisation, the Special Rapporteur, independent journalists, protestors etc etc.
Antisemitism and victimhood are the only cards left for Zio fascists to play with.
The original Nazis would always claim that they represented the Arian Race and that any criticism of them was “against the Arian Race” and the Zionists, a Neue Nazi group, do the same only using a different ethnicity.
This is far from the only way in which these Neue Nazis are the same as the original Nazis.
Zio fascists
*nazis
‘‘How are you today?’’ ‘‘That’s an antisemitic question.’’
That’s what the constant cry wolf has lead to. The absurd has become real.
Anyone putting netanyahu and hamas in the same category, gets it.
The US and others were fine with it when they issued a warrant for Putin, I’m sure they’ll be on board for this as well, right?
This makes us look weak and hypocritical to the rest of the world. Stop the unjust war of aggression and annexation! No wait, I meant the other one. This one is a-OK.
This is part of the collapse of American soft power around the world.
One thing that many people in America have already learned the hard way, is that conservative Americans could not care less about being hypocritical. In fact, I’m convinced that some see it as a plus because while it means nothing to them, it always seems to “trigger the libs”.

They’ve been preparing for this for a while. Months ago already I remember reading accusations of the ICC being antisemitic by Israelis and various sympathisers. The old fiddle that never stops playing.
It goes waaaay back
