The US is working to prevent the issuance of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the attack on Gaza, Israeli media has reported.
According to the news site Walla, Netanyahu is leading a "non-stop push over the telephone" to prevent an arrest warrant being issued against him by the ICC, particularly communicating with the White House.
The Israeli newspaper Maariv has reported that Netanyahu is "frightened and unusually stressed" by the possibility of an imminent arrest warrant.
Sources close to the paper believe that the arrest warrants are only a matter of time.
The paper reported that Defence Minister Yoav Galant and Chief of Staff Major-General Herzi Halevi could also be served with warrants. ⠀
An internal State Department memo reviewed by Reuters on Saturday revealed senior US officials have advised Secretary of State Antony Blinken that they do not find "credible or reliable" Israel's assurances that it is using US-supplied weapons in accordance with international humanitarian law.
Other officials upheld support for Israel's representation.
Under a National Security Memorandum issued by President Joe Biden in February, Blinken must report to Congress by 8 May on whether he finds credible Israel's assurances that its use of US weapons does not violate US or international law.
By 24 March, at least seven State Department bureaus had sent in their contributions to an initial "options memo" to Blinken. Parts of the memo, which has not been previously reported, were classified.
The submissions to the memo provide the most extensive picture to date of the divisions inside the State Department over whether Israel might be violating international humanitarian law in Gaza.
That was unexpectedly quick. I thought we'd be waiting years before we could even begin talking about any kind of measures that could be taken in response to the crimes (assuming that it wouldn't be dismissed on the way).
The rest of the world knows what's going on and is a lot to work around the US since our politicians don't have the balls to do the right thing.
It's not that they "don't have the balls" to do the right thing, it's that they have a vested interest in doing the wrong thing. The US isn't just failing to prevent genocide or punish those responsible, they are helping to conduct it.
Mfers need to read Parenti.
The second part of the title in Blackshirts and reds is Rational Fascism for a reason.
This is actually literally antisemitic. Israel does not control the US or its politicians, it is simply in the interest of christian fascists and imperialists and settler colonialism and capitalism to provide unending support for a genocidal fascist state.
But to say stupid shit like "United States of Israel" just belies your own bigotry and small mindedness and total lack of historical or political education.
it's important to come to this recognition.
america and israel are a team.
The state of Israel does not exert influence on the US. It is the opposite. That Is all I was saying.
I think the original point was that “the United States of Israel” can be—and often is—a (((globalist))) antisemitic trope. I think it’s very important not to ever give the impression that the influence is unidirectional, or even that it’s primarily Israel influence over the United States, because it absolutely is not. Israel is the US’s unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Middle East, and “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region.”
Whatever dude.
I don't think you understand the flow of influence and power here.
It's circular, for sure. But Israel is no more a victim then the US or the MIC is. Benjamin knows exactly what he is doing and so does much of the rest of the Knesset, along with Schumer, Pelosi, Feinstein, Biden, Blinken and numerous others (current mental speculations aside, in their long political careers they absolutely knew what they were doing.)
Are you saying I was conflating Israel with being Jewish or the person I was replying to? I was definitely not doing that.
Israel =/= Jewish People everywhere
But believing the nation responsible for the #1 spyware has nothing to do with the US leaders choosing dumb plans shouldn't be ignored
That, AND Genojoe is >$5M richer from this shit (Edit: $5M not $5 lol)
Bruh I just said that it is anti-Semitic to say that Israel controls the US.
It is the opposite.
You need to chill the fuck out and stop carrying water for Nazis if you agree with the person I was dunking on.
What did you say that set everyone off? This is the weirdest dogpile I’ve seen in a while.
Is my reading comprehension so out of touch?
No, it is the children who are wrong.I said that implying the US is controlled by Israel is antisemitic its the other way around lol.
omfg dude. I AM NOT CONFLATING THE TWO. YOU are doing that RIGHT NOW, by being willfully ignorant of the critique of the above poster, whose US of Israel comment was removed for good fuckin reason.
Israel doesn't dictate US foreign policy. That is all I said you people are fucking daft.
Ooooooh I knew I remembered you from somewhere.
Go back to making weird crypto shilling posts.

Zuberi is like a box of chocolates. You might get based takes on imperialism, you might get harassed, you might get crypto shilling.

Lol what a weird guy. First I blocked him, then I unblocked out f sheer morbid curiosity.
That's it? That is your fucking response after Nazi jacketing me? Go fuck yourself.
Conflating Israel with Judaism is antisemitic. Reducing antisemitism to just hatred of Jews is also antisemitic. Palestinians are direct descendant of ancient Canaanites including Israelites and Judeans.

While of course true, I didn’t see Israel & Judaism getting conflated. Maybe I got whooshed?

This is seldom said. Ask 20 people on the street who counts as “Semitic” and you’ll get 10 different answers, none of which are academic definitions 😑 Seldom are the indigenous Christians & Muslims included, and often are the European settlers with little-to-no genetic connection included. And the Zionists propagate and weaponize the confusion.
didnt they also step in between the ukraine-russia negotiations a year or 2 ago?
Technically that was Bojo, but UK obviously wasn't just acting on their own there.
