Partially correct in that #Israel is not a member of #ICC.
But ICC has jurisdiction over many countries. Its warrants remains effective there, just as the one against #Putin for his #WarCrimes in #Ukraine that is hindering his free travel.

The reason #Torres is completely unhinged here is because ICC prosecutor ALSO said that he had “reasonable grounds to believe” that #Sinwar, #Deif & #Haniyeh were responsible for “#warCrimes and #crimesAgainstHumanity” — including “the killing of hundreds of #Israeli civilians in attacks perpetrated by #Hamas”
#MackenzieKing’s “cheerleading” for #Hitler’s regime got a tremendous boost during his tour of landmarks of the #Nazi “miracle,” as Teigrob recounts in riveting detail. The photographs tell a very chilling story as well, especially one that shows King sitting proudly in Hitler’s seat at the All-German Sports Competitions while surrounded by Nazi bigwigs in full swastika-studded regalia.
.....#Nazi#henchmen he considered friends when he spent a day at the #WarCrimes trials in #Nuremberg in 1946. ...King, who never failed to inform his Nazi hosts that he was born and raised in the German settlement of Berlin, Ontario (Kitchener), paid a return visit to the old-country Berlin to view the devastation wrought on the capital of the #ThirdReich by #Hitler — the man, King had confided to his diary, whom he believed “might come to be thought of as one of the saviours of the world.”
"For #KarimKhan history begins on October 7, even though his investigation has, by his own account, been ongoing for a number of years and is supposed to take into account all crimes committed since 2014. He has yet to address any crimes between 2014 and 2023, notably the crime of #apartheid, the crime of #IllegalSettlements in #OccupiedTerritories..." - #MouinRabbani
Extermination and/or murder, including in the context of deaths caused by starvation, as a crime against humanity
Persecution as a crime against humanity
Other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity
ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said that they bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza from at least 8 October 2023:
1/2
Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare as a war crime
Willfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health
Willful killing or murder as a war crime
Intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population as a war crime
Finally!
The International Criminal Court has applied for arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas in Gaza & for President Netanyahu and his defence minister Yoav Galant for war crimes.
This will put a very large cat among those pigeons who are enabling such war crimes.
Russian army murdered 6 Ukrainians, including a woman who was seven months pregnant at the recreation playground. At least 16 people were injured. These are the consequences of a Russian attack on a recreation area in the #Kharkiv region. This is why Russia is a terrorist state.
Palestinian digital rights group Sada Social accused Meta, which owns WhatsApp, of fueling "Lavender" artificial intelligence system used by the Israeli military to kill Palestinian individuals within the Gaza enclave
“The soldiers at several points fired bullets next to their feet in an effort to terrorize them, perhaps to make them amenable to following orders.
“Every time they shot at us, I instantly poked my back to check if I was still alive,” said Ahmad, recalling the soldiers’ giggles at how scared he and his family were.”
“At other times, a tank would rapidly move towards them, then drift back, less than a meter away from them. Ahmad realized the soldiers were toying with them.
At one point, soldiers picked Ahmad’s brother, Saeed, and tortured him, breaking his jaw. They kicked him in his genitals like they were ‘hitting a football,’ according to Saeed. They beat him so severely that he blacked out at one point.’”
A petition to the Parliament of Australia:
"The ongoing violence and oppression against Palestinians by the Israeli government violate fundamental human rights principles. The disproportionate use of force, illegal settlements, and blockade of Gaza have resulted in immense suffering and loss of life. Our nation should not support regimes engaged in such violations. Action Requested: We urge the Prime Minister to take a principled stand against the Israeli government's actions by severing diplomatic ties, ending military support, and condemning human rights abuses in Palestine." https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN6106 #AusPol #IsraelPalestineConflict #Israel #Palestine #WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #genocide @palestine @israel
