US Confusion: Decries Israel's human rights violations but Rejects ICC's Jurisdiction

The Zionist terrorist hounds are howling at the moon because the nternational Criminal Court (ICC) is set to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coterie of barbarian Israeli officials. Just like Putin of Russia and his oligarchs.

 

But House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), the bespectacled idiot lackey of Trump, called the arrest warrants illegitimate and said that “instead of wrongly targeting Israel,” the ICC should focus on Hamas and other Iran-aligned terror groups “for engaging in horrific war crimes.” Naturally, when you are a backward ignorant American Republican, you double down on the "ugly" American with the "dumb" American. Hamas is an organization, not a state. The ICC has jursidiction over states that are signatories to the its charter, it has no jurisdiction over organizations and associations. Now in their hubris of arrogant militaristic totalitarian regimes, neither Israel nor the United States is a member state to the ICC because they want to commit crimes across the globe and avoid prosecution. If Israel and its moronic American supporters want the ICC to prosecute Hamas, they will have to join the ICC first, then let Palestine be a full-fledged state so that it falls under the ICC's jurisidiction.

The imbecile Speaker added, “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.” But how can the US challenge an international authority in which it refuses to be a member?

Now the ICC is by all accounts preparing to issue arrest warrants for Hamas leaders as well. the ICC is not a biased partisan court; it targets everyone and anyone who commits a crime.

Israeli officials stand to be accused of “preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip” and for “pursuing an excessively harsh response” against the Palestinian population, according to the New York Times.

The Biden administration, which has proven itself to be a spineless subservient slave to the Zionists,  said it did not support the investigation.  While neither Israel nor the United States accepts the ICC’s jurisdiction, potential warrants could put Israeli officials at risk in other countries, the AP reported.

While rejecting the ICC's charges against Israel's savagery, the US contradicts itself by accusing the Israeli terrorist war machine of human rights violations. It seems the US is fumbling and has no idea how to deal with the situation. So why does the US reject the ICC's jurisdiction? The answer: Arrogance. The US believes it is superior to all international instances: It either dominates them (its veto in the Security Council is one example) or when it can't control them (like the ICC), it rejects them. That is what stubborn obtuse totalitarian systems do. American dumbness is not even subtle: It is proud of itself.

It seems that after decades of ignoring all of its Israel's crimes and violations of every UN resolution, both domestic and international pressure have ow forced the U.S. to pretend to be fair and unbiased. It finds that five units of the Israel Defense Forces (the official US-funded terrorist organization in occupied Palestine) are responsible "for individual incidents of gross violations of human rights," the State Department announced on Monday. Notice the "individual" qualifier: it means the US condemns certain individuals in these units, but not the unit itself, unlike for example its condemnation of the entire UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees) organziation because of still unproven charges against individuals employees of that organziation.

When pressed by a reporter, Patel admitted that the fifth unit is still eligible to receive U.S. arms at this stage.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has raised the question of applying the provisions of the Leahy Law  with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The State Department says on its website that "the term ‘Leahy law’ refers to two statutory provisions prohibiting the U.S. Government from using funds for assistance to units of foreign security forces where there is credible information implicating that unit in the commission of gross violations of human rights." Under this definition, the US should itself be prosecuting or banning the entire state of Israel and its terrorist armed forces, all of which were founded on a genocide and ethnic cleanising of Palestine. But, alas, even in the 21st century might makes right, bullies prevail over innocent people, and criminals proudly walk over the corpses of their victins. You can be the worst criminal and bully on earth, your military strength prevails when it comes to distinguishing good from bad, decent from abomminable, acceptable from revolting.

Former Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy had championed legislation that became the Leahy law in the 1990s, saying the U.S. needed a tool to block American military aid and training to foreign security units guilty of extrajudicial killings, rapes, torture and other flagrant human rights abuses. The law requires an automatic cutoff of aid to a military unit if the State Department finds credible evidence that it has committed gross abuses.

Rights groups long have accused U.S. administrations, including Biden's, of shirking rigorous investigations of allegations of Israeli military killings and other abuses against Palestinians to avoid invoking such laws aimed at conditioning military aid to lawful behavior by foreign forces, according to The Associated Press.

Israel, meanwhile, pretends its security forces investigate abuses and its courts hold offenders accountable. Yup, I am going to believe this one more lie from a foreign colony that was founded on lies and myths from the Bronze Age of humanity. And the United States, which created the UN and all existing international entities in the post-1945 era to prevent war and promote peace, began immediately violating its own commitments by allowing Israel - under the pretext that it is a "victim" of German barbarity - to be the exception when it came to enforcing justice around the world.

As things stand, the International Criminal Court could soon issue arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials over charges related to the war in Gaza. The court may accuse the senior government figures of pursuing an excessively harsh military campaign and preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestine

“We do not support it,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at Monday’s media briefing, referring to the ICC’s investigation, which encompasses the actions of Hamas as well as Israel. “We don’t believe they have the jurisdiction.”

At its core, the case is about Israel's gratuitously brutal and savage ethnic cleansing campaign in Palestine, including its deliberate starvation of the indigenous Palestinian population and its killing of around 34,000 people.

The confusion and disarray in the American administration over the war on Palestine is easily explainable: The US is stuck in a posture of blind defense of Israel's otherwise indefensible existence over the ashes of historic Palestine and the corpses of millions of Palestinians trying to defend themselves and salvage their country. The disarray at the helm of the American government has led many State Department employees to quit in disgust at the muddiness of its policies. Then, one ought to hear the truth from the mouths of babes: College student protests against Israel’s actions and Butcher Biden's approval of such actions, not to mention the growing disapproval among Biden's own Democratic party voters because Genocide Joe continues to cover for Israel's savagery by refusing to apply any leverage to rein it in and delivering millions of tons of lethal weapons so it can continue killing Palestinian civilians.

Zionist organizations are crying loud over a fabricated rise of antisemitism, the ultimate and eternal scarecrow against any criticism of Israel. Indeed, many in Biden's own party have countered that the charge of antisemitism is used to delegitimize criticism of Netanyahu’s policies.

Those fault lines are once again evident in the debate over potential ICC action.

“I would question as to why anyone thinks the ICC does not have jurisdiction over the exact sort of crimes that they are supposed to have jurisdiction over — or why those governments who are not part of the ICC have any say as to who is or isn’t part of the jurisdiction,” a pro-Palestine expert said. A pro-Zionist expert, who noted that he himself has often been critical of Netanyahu, said that the ICC — as well as the International Court of Justice, which is hearing a separate case in which the government of South Africa has accused Israel of committing genocide — comes with “entrenched biases against Israel.” The standard libel: Any critic of Israel is antisemitic, including millions of Jews who are not Zionists and who are demonstrating against Israel's barbarity in Palestine.

Listen to the apologists of Israel's barbarity:  Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) called the idea of the ICC issuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu or other Israeli officials “disgraceful” and “an abomination.” Numskull Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.), one of the rare Democratic voices backing Israel in the conflict, said on social media that it would be “a fatal blow to the judicial and moral standing of [the] ICC to pursue this path against Israel.” How can an idiot like Fetterman whose government rejects the ICC go around claiming it has a judicial and moral standing? If Fetterman deems the ICC as having standing, why doesn't the US join it? The US and its Zionist friends should not be lectruing the ICC about its moral or judicial standing when they don't recognize it as a legitimate institution?

Israel and the US are blackmailing the international community by threatening to walk out of prisoner-exchange negotiations and not agree to a ceasefire if the ICC in the Hague issues arrest warrants against Israeli war criminals.
