    Netanyahu should take a trip to the UK, the US will pay for it! That flight ticket would save the American people billions!

    Please allow me as a bit of a centrist and a sympathizer of Israel say that if ICC wants Netanjahu to appear, then Netanjahu pretty fucking much should be clearing his schedule for the next few months and start packing. Together with Putin and I don’t know, perhaps every living American president.

      “I mean, sure Israel is murdering thousands of children, expelling people from their homes, bombing a sovereign nation unprovoked, and Israel is bulldozing homes to make way for new settlements. But other nations do bad stuff too so this is obviously antisemitic”

      What’s antisemitic is conflating the actions of Israel with Jewish people. Jews aren’t inherently fascist and fascist Jews aren’t all Jews.

      This is also fucking disgusting as antisemitism is a real thing. Trying to conflate it with Israel critique makes people take antisemitism less seriously which is also dangerous.

              No. So why would it be antisemitic rather than just… directed against people who break international law? Literally do you have any evidence for this assertion whatsoever that doesn’t depend on complete and utter ignorance of this and other ICC actions?

                  I stand with Israel 100%.

                  I can see that.

                  I guess we will have to agree to disagree about the law. Luckily for me the court seems to agree with my assessment

                  If you stand with Israel, you stand for genocide. You stand next to a war criminal.

                  I’m guessing you were raised to think the motherland can do no wrong and this complete lack of empathy for the Palestinian people was drilled into you.

                  The longer you take to break through the brainwashing, the longer it will take for you to forgive yourself for these disgusting comments.

                  Imagine the Germans that defended and enabled Hitler fervently during the holocaust and ask yourself if you wish to ealk in their steps.

      Isn’t the ICC famous for focusing too much on Africa? Some call it the African Criminal Court. But sure, it is antisemitic that after all the trials in the global south, they go after Israel.

      Who cares about being antisemitic?

      I’m a proud antisemite; I think Israel shouldn’t commit genocide.

      I am a huge sinophobe; I think uyghurs shouldn’t be “reeducated.”

      I fucking hate Canadians; first nations got screwed.

      I hate all Arabs and muslims; kashnoggi shouldn’t have been cut into pieces.

      I hate white people; we need to fix inequality.

      I’m a traitor to my country; I think it could be improved.

      I’m a devil worshipper; I like D&D.

          I would look up the definition of genocide. What hamas did was objectively bad, but not a genocide. What israel is doing is.

          Ignore Hamas. Read the infamous report from the US that was used by Israel as evidence they weren’t committing genocide. The report cleared Israel, and so it was used as a defense.

          But actually read the report.

          According to the US / Israel, they’re holding up food, making it difficult to access, making it get stuck in transit, making it get lost, making zero effort to facilitate / distribute, making it dangerous for people to solve it themselves, etc.

          But they never triggered the video game-like definition of genocide. They didn’t use god-like powers to absolutely withhold food. They didn’t declare “I’m doing a genocide.” Technically some people could eat sometimes, and some pencil pusher can’t change definitions on the fly, therefore no genocide.
