Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

[Noisy noise annoys]

They may as well sign a warrant for Antonio Guterres just to not appear one sided.

Has he killed 20,000 children as well?

I think there’s more chance than might appear - they’ve been very clear to make this about Netanyahu rather than the government, or Israel as a whole.

It is fairly obvious that unless he succeeds in establishing himself as a dictator that he’s going to face the Court for his corruption and probably how he brought that country to its knees, and in order to bring about some form of rapprochement later one might see a future Israeli government hand him over after he’s been disgraced by their own courts.

I mean, the man is transparently guilty even if you just look at his own words.

Can’t see any Israeli leader ever accepting any Israeli being prosecuted by this court, they will just continue to use the anti semitic accusation BS.

Them and USA don’t recognise the court because they are the two biggest terrorist organisations.

Chocolate teapot that fella.

Elected in 2016 and began his term in 2017.

Reelected in 2021.

He's seen the covid global epidemic and said / done nothing towards China.

He's seen all sorts of mischief by Iran and said and done nothing.

He's seen Russia invade Ukraine and flown to meet Putin for a 'friendly' get together.

He's been the head of an organisation that has supported two terror groups on the ground

I'd say hes an effective representive of Russian, Chinese and Iranian initiatives.

So I can keep up the UN is anti-Semitic and now the ICC ?

TBF, he cant really welcome the arrest warrants for Netanyahu given the fact he himself supported the war crime of withholding water and medical supples to the Gazans.

He should be sharing the same cell in the Hague with his mate Netanyahu.

I don't see any world where a three times Israeli premier sits in a court in Europe on trial for genocide, with the secrets he will know you can magnify that by infinity (I'm channeling my inner Baerbock 360' comments with the nothing times infinity btw), unless theu made a show of arresting him with the knowledge he'd 'Mikosevic'

Tosser.

Not you.

Not as useless but way more, you can at least use a chocolate teapot as chocolate. This guy is more like a third hand burst condom.

The joy of today’s warrants for these war mongers is it strips the hypocrites of any place to hide.

You want people to hold Putin to account? You have to hold your pals to account. You want to protect human rights in Ukraine? You have to protect human rights in Gaza.

You can’t cherry pick. These things are universal. If you do, we can all make our minds up if we really want to support the causes you see as non-negotiable. Because, in this case, everything has just become negotiable - because you have shown that to be the case.

Starmer's a lucky boy here in the Commons as there isn't really a strong enough alternative party that will want/be able to haul him over the coals over this. I don't actually know what the Lib Dem position on Israel is right now but the Tories and Reform are certainly not going to be insisting that he make a big deal out of the warrant (Farage might mention the hypocrisy from a pro-Putin position).

I'd put money on a PMQ from Corbyn next week though.

I dunno like i'd head over the Ukraine thread because it seems people can actually cherry pick.
