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.
America will never cut off the supply of weapons to Israel, as they are not only our most important ally in the Middle East, but also a key symbolic homeland for millions of Jewish Americans that happens to be under constant threat of attack and annihilation from multiple regional neighbors, including Iran.
People won’t like to hear this, but Bernie Sanders could have been president in 2023 and he still would have sold weapons to Israel in the wake of the October 7th massacre.
The best you can realistically hope for is weapons sent under preconditions.
Jewish Americans are at threat of anihilation by their regional neighbour Iran?
