From the BBC
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas's leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.
Karim Khan is also seeking the arrest warrants of Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Mohammed al-Masri, and Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant.
Khan says he has "reasonable grounds to believe" the men bear responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity
In the Hamas leaders' case, the alleged crimes begin "from at least 7 October 2023"; in the Israeli leaders' case, "from at least 8 October 2023"
Israel's foreign minister calls Khan's decision a "historical disgrace" - a senior Hamas official is also critical, saying it "equates the victim with the executioner"
And listen to the little war criminals from both sides whine.
Arrest them, glue bird feed to them, hang them over a cliff and let the puffins peck them to death.
Well, either that or lock them up. Depends on my mood.

@shavixmir saidI rather be that than a stupid one like you. Thats all you got ... obscenities. You post this rubbish about ICC and ICJ. Karim Khan is a Muslim from Pakistan and a supporter of Islamis extremism. He is trying to stop the IDF from invading and bombing Rafah which will lead to the destruction of Hamas.
Damn, you’re a racist cont.
Mr KKK can call for whatever he likes, Israel is not going to stop. Those sicko Hamas muslims are raping Israeli women, according to hostages who were released. There are fears that some of them are pregnant with muslim babies. What a disgusting thought.
You can rant and rave all you iike, nobody is going to stop Israel. The massacre continues ... well deserved too.

Just because you’re wrapped up in your racist anti-Islam flag, doesn’t mean squat to international justice.

Netenyahoo is a corrupt little fiend, and this will just get added to his sheet of misbehaviour. And deservedly so.
@shavixmir saidArrest the war criminals!

If we did that 25% of the middle east would be behind bars. They've been attacking each other since before the firearm was invented. Insert a well-armed Jewish state in the middle of that quagmire, stir well and we're blessed with an even bigger mess than before.
I wouldn't give you 2 cents for the entire middle east! 🙁
@mchill saidThe Middle East is brilliant.
Arrest the war criminals!

All this fool Karim Khan has done is apply for arrest warrants. They cannot arrest anyone except people with no real authority. They have already issued arrrests warrants for dozens of people from Putin to leaders of the Taliban, and they were ignored. The ICC and ICJ are lame pointless organizations and it is only shallow-brained Jew-haters wet their pants at these announcements.
Here is some news for you. In a war the winners are never prosecuted. The smart people in the world [in the west], know that Hamas needs to be put down at any cost, because they do not only hate Jews, they hate Americans, Canadians, British, and Europeans.
Go educate yourself.
@Rajk999 saidUhuh. Says the trailer trash slime bag racist, pro-nazi, cum bucket.

***********************************
According to Israeli and international sources, the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor is considering the issuance of warrants against Israeli and Hamas leaders based on the Hamas attack of Oct. 7 and Israel’s response. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) has demanded the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu for genocide.
But there is a problem: The ICC is precluded by the treaty that created it from investigating any individual from a state that is willing and able to conduct a genuine investigation of that person. Israel is conducting ongoing investigations of alleged war crimes and will continue to do so.
One of the central tenets of the rule of law is that courts must comply with the limits on their jurisdiction imposed by the authorities that created them. The International Criminal Court is the creation of the Rome Statute, which severely limited its jurisdiction by the rule of complementarity. This rule expressly denies the ICC the authority to be the primary investigator or prosecutor of any individual who is subject to legitimate investigation and prosecution by his or her nation.
The ICC secures complementary jurisdiction only if the nation with primary jurisdiction is unwilling or unable to conduct a fair and thorough investigation.
The signatories of the Rome Statute envisioned cases where the national judicial system had either totally or partially collapsed; is unable to “obtain an accused or key evidence and testimony”; or is “unable to carry out its proceedings” because it lacked “sufficient qualified personnel to effect a genuine prosecution.” The signatories of the Rome Statute did not envision a primary investigation of a Western democracy, such as Israel, whose Supreme Court has been called “the most activist judicial body of any advanced nation in the world.”
Unless the criteria for admissibility under Article 17 of the Rome Statute are satisfied, which they clearly are not here, the ICC simply has no authority to investigate or prosecute any alleged crime that can and will be investigated by Israeli authorities. To do so would be to violate its own charter and place itself above its own law.
.
.
Many signatories would not have agreed to the Rome Statute had the International Criminal Court been given jurisdiction to initiate investigations or prosecutions when the countries with primary jurisdiction were willing and able to investigate war crimes themselves.
Israel’s judicial system is among the best in the world and its Supreme Court is among the most highly regarded of any Western democracy. Its judicial system has consistently stood up for the civil liberties of its people, including minority groups. It has put soldiers and settlers on trial and even prosecuted former (and current) political leaders, including three prime ministers and one president.
Under no reasonable definition of Article 17 can Israel’s judicial system be considered “collapsing.” Since Israel is willing and able to investigate and, if necessary, prosecute any allegations of war crimes, the ICC is precluded from initiating an investigation against Israel.
Moreover, Israel is not a signatory to the Rome treaty, and neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority are states. But even if the ICC can overcome these hurdles (as it has claimed), it cannot overcome its own barrier to investigating alleged crimes committed by individuals who can be and are being held accountable by their own nations.
Israel is not Hamas, and the rules of the ICC are not the same for democracies that live under the rule of law and terrorist groups that live under the rule of lawlessness. This distinction is central to the legitimacy of the ICC and its rule of complementarity. Without recognizing it, the ICC would become a partisan “court” of politics rather than a neutral court of objective law.

The prosecution does not compare Hamas with Israel, so your whole article is moronic.
See? You don’t comprehend anything beyond what your alt-right media is feeding you, and that is so slanted, it makes you look even more moronic than usual.
@shavixmir saidWhat the article says, is that the ICC has no jurisdiction in countries with solid legal departments. They cannot override a Jewish court of law. They have jurisdiction in countries where the law has collapsed, like in many African or Islamic countries.
Dumb arse.

That has nothing to do with the ICC.
You really should learn to read. Or at least read something factual.
Damn, you are dumb.
What sort of crap are you reading???

Anyway your buddies in Rafah are getting clobbered. Serves them right. You dont get to rape, kill, torture, kidnap Jews and escape to hide behind some kangaroo court. The Jews are going to get you. Might as well lay down and surrender.
@Rajk999 saidReally. You lose the argument because you're stupid; parrotting idiotic right-wing propaganda; and then you come away with false claims, as per usual, and you generally just don't have any form of understanding of... well... basically anything.
