      The whole point is to let Bibi carry the sins of the country to white wash Israel as a whole. Once the job is done he can be discarded as an unfortunate extremist while everyone laments “what he has done”.

      Israel changes leaders and everybody quickly moves forward without Palestinians being a meaningful presence in the ME

      I’m pretty sure no country wants to be in the situation so they should all come out and follow Canada’s lead making it clear what would happen. Netanyahu may try to invalidate the ICC ruling by intentionally going to a member state expecting they wouldn’t really arrest him.

    Nice to see this from a major US ally. I hope more nations take Canada’s example.

    Good. Terrorists hiding behind fake “antisemitism” should be arrested and hung for diminishing and trivializing actual antisemitism.

    This should be interesting. Trump will bail him out by going to war with Canada.

      No, that’s not the plan. This is the plan. In other words, Canada would extradite Netanyahu to The Hague for trial, at which point the US would send in troops to spring him.

        On what grounds? He’s not one of the people listed in that article.
