The warning was direct, blunt and left no room for doubt. “We expect all ICC actions against the United States and our ally Israel – that is, all investigations and all arrest warrants – to be terminated,” said Reed Rubinstein, legal adviser at the US State Department, before delegates of the 125 member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Tuesday, July 8, at a meeting at United Nations headquarters in New York from July 7 to 9.

If the ICC arrest warrants for crimes against humanity and war crimes issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant on November 21, 2024, as well as ongoing investigations into crimes committed in the Gaza Strip and the settlement of Palestinian territory, are not dropped, “all options remain on the table,” he declared.

      And the UK and Germany. Two of the supporters in the EU.

      Germany has disgusted me, they spent so long trying to make amends they elected a race to superiority. Spineless hypocrites.

        Did they really though? They worked to appease their guilt but never really dealt with the underlying reasons it happened in the first place.

        Most of those that did the dirty work during ww2 just went home after and carried on.

        Same with the British. Most people have no idea about how or why all the shit in the middle east started or why it continues.
