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.

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.
