Are Israeli officials under threat of ICC prosecution? | The Take
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 май 2024
- Israeli officials fear potential ICC prosecution over Gaza actions. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned top officials of possible arrest warrants, although the ICC has not confirmed issuing any. What would ICC arrest warrants mean for Israel's war on Gaza - and for international law?

Shouldn't the people who funded the criminal activity also be arrested?
Israel financed HAMAS ✔️🤫🤡
Yes I think so but a president can get away with murder.
Only if they are a member state of the ICC. unfortunately neither of the two major Western nations (you know who they are) are members.
Hence they are neither obligated to follow the ruling nor bring themselves to legal prosecution.
I would say so. They are just as Complicit
Yes. Arrest the USG so we can finally clear our country of religious extremism.

As an American surgeon of Jewish heritage who just left Gaza, I will gladly testify at the ICC against the IDF and Netanyahu for the clear genocide that I witnessed!
I pray for your safety. We are living in truly dark times, all man made by men and women who have absolutely no care for their fellow humans.
You're probably the perfect person to answer this question. Are Palestinians in Gaza allowed to go to the West Bank and vice versa?
ICC do your work you have been mandated to do.
You do realise they can't. Doing so is basically going to war against the USA. Literally USA has laws to siege the Hague if either a member of the USA or an ally is arrested by the ICC. What you think is gonna happen. There are so many things between calling for the arrest of criminals to being able to capture them. Why do you think Putin hasn't been arrested yet despite being an enemy of the USA which you would think the USA would have a hand in making sure happens?

"I hate when I see politicians just trying to denounce Netenyahu as some sort of abberation from Israeli society. No, this is the norm. The whole Israeli society is as fascist as it gets. Look at the polling. LESS than 2% think that Israel was using too much firepower in Gaza after they obliterated and decimated the entire Gaza strip." ---- Abby Martin
It is regretfully true about the Israeli Citizens because of the effective Israeli Propaganda Machine that has been filling them with Lies all of their lives.
The are as much prisoners and their minds occupied by the Apartheid State of Israel as the Palestinians.
Sadly we wanted to believe the agressions only sat with one man, to make it easier to absolve ourselves of any responsibility.

Israel has been dependent on everything from the u.s.since its founding for 75 years now its time for things to change preferably for the Palestinians they deserve international recognition and their own state and the u.s. shouldn't tell us who to support or what we can boycott
All aipac money should go to the Palestinian people
@@protohass You said the US shouldn't tell us who to support, which I agree, but then you said change preferably for the Palestinians and they can't do it alone.
Symbolically I don't care if people stand with Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Palestine, or Iran, as long as we're not giving them billions of dollars and all our weapons. In case some people in the US forgot we have our own boarder crisis. Too many people worried about borders of other countries then they do about their own.
@@protohass Agreed, we shouldnt be told who to support or boycott, however the nature of geopolitics is on another level, I am only just starting to understand.

The peaceful pledge
1) Hypocrisy is not by accident but our way of life.
2) We marry other's girls freely but we don't allow our girls to marry others & hence hide them from head to toe with veil.
3) We always persuade &
welcome others to join our faith but anyone who leaves our faith to join others is our enemy.
4) We love our country because it fights our enemy otherwise loyalty towards ummah is more important than nation.
5) We can freely insult other
faiths like our prophet (Q9:5,
Q2:221,Q 5:51 ) but anyone
who insults ours deserves to be bheaded.
6) We don't want BJP/RSS to
exist but we freely vote for our parties AIMIM, IUML, AIUDF, SDPI, Jamaat e islami party etc.
7) We want more secularism
and appeasement when we are in minority but secularism is shirk when we are in majority.
8) We don't want other faiths in Mecca & Medina but we want mosques in Kashi, Ayodhya, Mathura, Jerusalem & Bethlehem.
9) Colonialism is evil but
Ottoman and Mughal conquests demonstrates exemplary valour and Indians are lucky to be invaded by Mughals.
10) We have 56 nations which
we got by force and deception but we don't accept a Jewish state or a Hindu state though they're much older than our faith.
11) Once a Mandir can become a masjid, but once a masjid always a masjid. Babri shall rise again Insha'Allah.
12) Hindus should not try to
settle in Kashmir but Kashmiris can settle anywhere in India.
13) We freely boycott non-halal forever, but if others boycott halal then they're racist and Islamophobe.

wishful thinking. Israel is the most powerful military force in the area. They have the most advanced weapon that not even US have it. Iran is a joke for Israel Army. How can you think that a tribe of Bedouins can defeat Israel

@@user-jy1jj3fl7l Are you really comparing the holocaust to what happened in Israel?
What I don't understand is how a country the size of New Jersey can get invaded by Hamas on hanggliders and motorcycles.
Israel claimed that for 6 hours Hamas was killing people, raping women, putting babies in ovens and then bringing some of them back to Gaza. Where was the IDF for 6 hours while this was happening? Their intelligence has to be terrible, not only because of that attack but because they didn't know that they had an underground tunnel system throughout their entire country.
Kind of reminds me of 9/11 and and how that reportedly happened. If it did happen the way they said it did, how come Israel didn't stand with the United States when we were fighting Al Qaeda for 20 years in Afghanistan?
@@user-jy1jj3fl7l Are you really comparing what happened with Hamas to the Holocaust?
Israel must have terrible intelligence. How does Hamas "invade" Israel on hanggliders and motorcycles and have 6 hours to supposedly kill people, rape women, throw babies in the ovens and bring hostages back to Gaza?
Israel is the size of New Jersey. Where was the IDF for the 6 hours this was happening?
How did they not know they had a tunnel system underneath their entire country?
It reminds me of 9/11, if you believe how it was reported. However if Israel is such a good ally, how come they didn't help the United States when they were fighting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan for 20 years? Did Israel send troops, weapons or money to the United States? Nope, they didn't do anything. Just like when Saddam Hussein was launching scud missiles at Israel. Israel didn't respond at all.
Israel thinks it's above international law. They refuse to allow weapons inspectors in to look at their nucular program, They continuously are building new settlements in the West Bank and more importantly continue to bomb sovereign countries such as Syria and Lebanon.
Israel just bombed Damascus again last night. What would happen if Syria bombed the airport in Jerusalem?
It seems Israel will bomb any country that is associated with Iran but won't attack Iran directly. If Iran is the head of the snake and Hamas and Hezbollah wouldn't be able to function without Iran, then why would you not cut off the head of the snake and attack Iran directly?
The Occupier must face justice for its Crime against humanity.

As an American citizen by birth I am thrilled at the prospect of warrants for potential war crimes is (possibly) imminent! That Israel in particular, may have to answer for those charges satisfies me beyond words! In addition, I would love to see warrants against my own government for their complicity in potential war crimes, as well as warrants for members of the Bush/Cheney former administration as it is VERY evident that torture and serious war crimes are valid in that case as well!
They’ve been talking about this for weeks.. what is the ICJ waiting for?

Unfortunately, Mr. Kersten did not answer the central question: since neither Israel nor the United States recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC, what practical effect will issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu, et. al., have? The warrants will not be executed in Israel due to lack of jurisdiction. And the US, where the warrants also cannot be executed for the same reason, can easily, and very likely would, grant the war criminals asylum. Obviously, I would like to see justice done in these matters, including regarding the war crimes Hamas may have committed, but nations can just ignore international law at their whims. Israel, as is well known, has flagrantly violated UN Security Council resolution 242 since 1967, and there have been no practical consequences for that.
139 countries have signed for the court. In all these countries the court can enforce his rulings. In all these 139 countries Netanjahu cannot set his foot on the ground without being in danger to be sacked by local forces.
@Vorname_Nachnahme I understand, but, not to belabor the point, it's trivially easy for Netanyahu to avoid those countries. He can stay in Israel, or he can hop a plane for New York. We'll harbor him, because we always run interference for Israel, as with our vetoes of the ceasefire resolutions in the UN Security Council. I'm sorry my country does this, but all of our politicians take money from AIPAC, so it's unlikely that policy will change.
@@m1lkb0n3z Yes, Mr. Netanjahu can live like Israel > US > Israel > US and so on and back and forth, but he also has to avoid the airspace of/over these 139 countries because they might force his plane down because of him being an internationally wanted criminal. So it's not that wonderful life of a pensionist it could be if he'd not tried to kill A People. And who says that there might not some unexpected things happening during hopping from allowed A to allowed B making him find itself on the ground of not allowed C? But all this is phantasy, ... i too guess he will never get sacked for having been nice to the Palestinian People, but at least such a warrant would be historically unique and send a strong moral signal and lift the case of the Palestinian People significantly. I mean, look at the proportions: 1pc israeli hostage and the outcries about and the caring for it in the media seems to be more worth than 1.000pcs of rubbled, bombed, dead, starving, homeless, hopeless Palestinians. The latter are basically 10th-class people to the eyes of the world, it doesn't matter if they are there or not ... Oo
@Vorname_Nachnahme I agree that media coverage in English is radically biased in favor of valuing the lives of Israelis over that of Palestinians, which is why I balance it with AJ's reporting. I try to remind my fellow Americans that some of the Palestinians are Christians, mostly Eastern Rite Catholics and Orthodox, but it doesn't seem to matter. Proportionality is one of the principles of _jus in bello_ ,but Israel ignores that moral principle, too.
ICC warrants have symbolic meaning, and it's good that the International community is expressing its outrage. Perhaps they will serve to isolate Israel diplomatically, but justice requires these war criminals stand trial, and I see no way to bring that about. A more practical approach may be to apply pressure through boycotts, and divestment.
I think Netanyahu should be arrested for crimes against humanity
Isreal is committing war crimes but my fear is this will never happen
It's symbolic, anyway. Who was the last World leader to actually end up in the dock at the Hague? Warrant issued, sure, but arrested, tried, and held to account? Unlikely.
Slobodan Milosevic, President of the former Yugoslavia and the Balkan wars of the 1990's.

It is going to be an interesting time for the law. Any israeli diplomat or special visitor to the UK can be issued a special exemption from prosecution, especially any ICC warrant. What remains to be seen is that if a warrant is issued against an individual that is seemingly protected on UK territory, does that not incriminate this country for concealing a wanted felon, aiding and abetting a fugitive from justice. That would notionally mean that any persons deliberately harbouring said felon would themselves be liable for arrest and warrants for them could also be issued against the UK, who would legally be obliged to submit themselves to the custody of the ICC.
Al jazeera this was educational
certainly hope so but it doesnt seem to deter them from committing more crimes Maybe they just plan to do damage as much as possible before it catches up with them

The UN needs to move out of the US and should consider removing the US from membership of the UN on the basis that it has taken steps to reduce the credibility of the UN and ICJ. The US can reapply for membership when it provides evidence it has resumed democracy rather than the autocracy that currently applies.

If the ICJ were to issue arrest warrants against individuals in the Israeli army involved in acts of genocide or war crimes, it would do so based on the specific evidence and legal criteria related to those individuals' actions. This would apply regardless of the nationality or support of the individuals involved.
In summary, the ICJ's decisions are based on legal principles and evidence, and any issuance of arrest warrants would follow established legal procedures. The involvement or support of any other country, including the United States, Germany and France would be evaluated within this framework.
Sure m, most of this war criminals have dual nationality with countries that are signatory to ICJ , justice will prevail
