Zionist sycophant and Trump republican House Speaker, Mike Johnson, R-La., is pleading with his political enemy, US president Joe Biden, to intervene with the International Criminal Court (ICC) - whose jurisdiction the US does not recognize - to prevent the Court from issuing an arrest warrant against the leaders of the terrorist Zionist regime in Palestine.
Imagine the gall these people have: Unlike most other nations, they think they are above international law and refuse to join the ICC. Then, when the ICC acts, they complain as outsiders without any leverage to have an influence. Why do the US and Israel refuse to join the ICC is simple: They know they are thuggish in their policies; they know they will be caught committing atrocities in their expansionist and colonial enterprises around the world; and joining the ICC will certainly hold them and their soldier-terrorists to account.
The warrants, according to the dumb Speaker, would be "baseless and illegitimate".
"If unchallenged by the Biden administration, the ICC
could create and assume unprecedented power to issue arrest warrants
against American political leaders, American diplomats, and American
military personnel, thereby endangering our country's sovereign
authority," the speaker said.
"Instead
of wrongly targeting Israel, the ICC should pursue charges against Iran
and its terror proxies, including Hamas, for engaging in horrific war
crimes. The Biden administration must immediately and unequivocally
demand that the ICC stand down and the U.S. should use every available
tool to prevent such an abomination." But the US has no leverage.
State
Department deputy spokesman Vidant Patel on Monday told reporters on Monday, "On this investigation, our
position is clear. We continue to believe that the ICC does not have
jurisdiction over the Palestinian situation." The arrogance of an outsider-refusnik to a club who wants to dictate the rules of the club.
Israeli
officials are rightfully terrified at the thought of the ICC preparing arrest warrants them as they will join the ranks off such prestigious political criminals like Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony, former Dictator of Sudan Omar al-Bashir, President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, President Laurent Gbagbo of Ivory Coast and former Vice President Jean-Pierre Bemba of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. According to Wikipedia, Putin became the first head of state of a U.N. Security Council Permanent Member to be the subject of an ICC arrest warrant.
Israel has been accused of blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza while waging a ground invasion and airstrike campaign in order to get Israeli hostages being held by Hamas back to their homes. But there's been mounting criticism of Israel on the world stage over the savagery of its response.
Unlike the U.S. and Israel, Palestine was admitted as an ICC member state in April 2015. Palestine has little to fear as it is the victim of the crimes of Israel which has much to fear from the arrest warrants against its leaders.
"Under my leadership, Israel will never accept any attempt by the ICC to undermine its inherent right of self-defense," Netanyahu said in a statement on X Friday. To him, the threat to seize the soldiers and officials of the barbaric Jewish theocracy is outrageous. Arrogance, it's been said, is the sister of insecurity. When you know you're wrong, you feel insecure, so you turn to arrogance to compensate for your lack of confidence.
Israel and its leaders are the very definition of arrogance: As opposed to confidence, which is being assured of your own self-worth and having belief in your abilities,
arrogance is an over exaggerated view of your own abilities to the
point that you think you’re better than everyone else and feel the need
to “show off” or make sure that people know (you think) you’re better
than them. Oh my!
