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.

Do they think nobody is going to replace them and resume the conflict?
Then why would we persecute anyone? Maybe give that take one more round of thought.
Not everyone we persecute is in a leadership position with high amounts of pressure from the population to do the things we’re punishing them for.
It’s about fucking time! This should’ve happened much earlier.
Anf of course Netanyahu is hiding behind the discrimination card.
With Netanyahu calling them antisemetic
Why do they always call justified responses antisemetic? Like I swear, due to this, I have heard a resurgence of people believing that “Hitler was right in his actions” and “he was trying to save us”, even though that’s clearly a stupid take but I digress.
He should be arrested and given a quick trial and hanged.
Imprisonment for live is the highest possible sentence.
Wasn’t Sadam Houssein sentenced to death?
That wasn’t the ICC, it was the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal, set up by the US.
Sadly.
ICC:
“We acknowledge that Hamas’ attacks against civilians are crimes too.”Netanyahu and Hamas in unison:
“What do you mean, ‘crimes too’?”Meanwhile, the slaughter goes on because nobody wants to risk open conflict with the US and they* have a raging hard-on for genocidal imperialism.
*Not all of them, of course, but enough are either complicit or at least complacent that it remains a tenable political position.
Its the one silver lining about trump–he’ll destroy US economic, military and political power and in doing that remove the zionists shield from consequences.
One thing, why are the Hamas officials never named, and we never get their reaction? I’d really like I to be able to despise both side of that shit medal evenly.
One thing, why are the Hamas officials never named
they are always named.
They’re in the article:
The court issued a warrant for Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas’ armed wing, over the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in Gaza…Khan withdrew requests for warrants for two other senior Hamas figures, Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh, who have both since been killed. Israel says it also killed Deif in an airstrike, but Hamas has never confirmed his death.
Hamas in a statement welcomed the warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant but made no mention of the one against Deif.
Thank you, I should have verified before commenting. It’s still the feeling I get, that Hamas leadership is way less named than Netanyahu. If at least in the headlines.
The USA are not friends of the free world. They are not friends of the law and order, they are not friends of justice. They care about their own ass (as illustrated by the last elections) and would gladly throw you under the bus in exchange for their own safety.
Yesterday they have done it to iraqii. Today they are doing it to palestinian. They might do it to you tomorrow.
We should blockade them like we did to russia.
God they really just play the antisemitism card for everything
I remember when the people who said ‘if you call everything Nazism, then what are you going to do when the real Nazis arrive’ ended up being Nazis themselves… who did not shy away from calling their opposition fascist and Nazis even when they were wearing Swastikas on them.
Zionists are the same. The exact same. They are remarkably antisemitic (look up the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl. The guy was a RAGING antisemite!) but at the same time throw that accusation left and right at anything that even remotely disapproves of their actions.
It’s the only card they have
It’s funny how the criminal immediatelly implied that it’s a Jewish characteristic to be a criminal like him, just like he and his minions (which includes the American Administration) have been continuously implying that commiting all manner of horrid crimes, from theft and rape all the way to Genocide and purposeful child mass murder, is a Jewish chacteristic.
Like the last bunch of Nazis, these people aren’t merelly immoral, they’re so depraved, disgusting and devoid of even the most basic humanity that they’ll slander millions of those they claim to defend in order to avoid the consequences of acting like the most extreme and out of control psychopath (far beyond mere Serial Murderer and well into Hitler-level).
Exactly. Israel’s actions is Palestine make Jews everywhere less safe.
Well the ICC won’t let me be or let me be me so we’ll just see. – Benjamin Netanyahu
Isn’t it a little anti-semetic to hold the guilty responsible for crimes the whole world knows they did? /s
Just predicting the media spin that’s all
It’s quite frankly just like Nazi germany (when they held the Nazis accountable for their war crimes and genocide).
If I ever saw this yahoo and the other yahoo putin, I would shub this yahoo up putin’s arse. It’s a little unlikely but that’s the plan. And probably poke both thru with a cable, and I would give the cable a bunch of extra twists so they couldn’t get out.
Kudos to the ICC and make sure they are cell mates. Damn shame it will not happen.
Anyone putting netanyahu and hamas in the same category, gets it.
Finally the only sensible response to what is happening in Israel.
Arrest the leaders on both sides!
I remember saying this should be done at the start of the conflict and I was called a genocide loving Nazi for saying Hamas was just as bad. Hamas leaders are wealthy old men who live in luxury outside of Gaza
Sinwar and the others listed in the warrant were inside Gaza. Pretending otherwise was part of Israeli propaganda
Are you still going with this “Hamas are the good guys” bullshit?
That’s not what I said, I said that it’s propaganda to pretend Hamas’ leaders are not in Gaza.
So the reports saying they’re not there, fake news. The reports saying they are, Believe it without question?
What country was Sinwar found in again? A spokesman or negotiator in Qatar is not the same as the leadership. Try again.
It seems that the Hamas leader they’ve listed the warrant for might already be dead though. I guess if he turns up less dead than expected in a member country they can nab him with the warrant
This has happened already, it’s now the 2nd time they’ve issued the warrent.
This is just the first time the story was allowed through the US media wall
