    If he’s so upset about being compared to mass murderers he should have not murdered people en masse. It’s actually very easy to not do that

    To avoid that label, he could, like… not mass murder the people of Gaza.

    No, Bibi. He’s not comparing Israel to mass murderers. He’s comparing you to mass murderers.

    Yes, I wonder why they could have compared you to mass murderers".

    In a bitter personal attack, Mr Netanyahu said Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) was one of the “great antisemites in modern times.”

    I’ve checked the ICC most wanted list. It’s here: https://www.icc-cpi.int/defendants

    It’s almost all African warlords. Not a big Jewish demographic, if I’m honest. If the leader of Israel can describe the ICC as antisemites, the word literally has no meaning any more.

      At this point, if you don’t support the genocide and forceful taking of land in Gaza, you’re antisemitic.

    And by comparing to mass murderers I mean correctly stating that we are mass murderers

      In another article, some Hamas guy was outraged because of being put on the same level as the Israeli murderers.

        Israel has also stolen parts of Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and historically Egypt. Their extremist ministers, who are currently in political control of the entity, are calling for stealing more of southern Lebanon too. There’s no reason to believe Israel will stop their genocide when the last Palestinian is murdered.

        Yeah, but if the level of a goose is what you need to get to to be considered a war criminal then no one would be a war criminal.

    How you can tell it’s actual journalism - it says “lambasts” instead of “slams” 😂

    I’ve been calling this man a war criminal for almost my entire life and it’s good to see the ICC figuring it out

      More people need to watch the interviews with former IDF soldiers. They openly talk about doing things to Palestinians in West Bank that are war crimes. They also say they do these things routinely. Even the arrest policy is a war crime because they aren’t turned over to the PA, they have to go in front of an Israeli court. If they go in front of a court at all, instead of being indefinitely detained.

    I believe it, but i hate quotes like this. Give me at least a full sentence in quotes.

    “I reject with disgust the comparison of the prosecutor in the Hague between democratic Israel and the mass murderers of Hamas,”

    Protests were calling for years for Netanyahu to go to The Hague. Is it happening?

      No. They would never drag him there but they won’t mind trying him in absentia at some point.

        No. The ICC never tries anyone in absentia. His arrest warrant, if approved, will stand for all time until he either dies or is arrested. There is no statute of limitations for any ICC charges. This means he is effectively barred from visiting any party to the Rome Statute (124 countries).

        It also means he could potentially be arrested in Israel and handed over to the ICC if he loses an election and the new government wants to get rid of him.
