In a post on X, European Council president, Antonio Costa, has now said the sanctions “threaten the Court’s independence and undermines the international criminal justice system as a whole”. Earlier, we reported that the Netherlands condemned the move and said the ICC’s work is “essential in the fight against impunity”, while Amnesty International labelled the move “reckless”. 1h ago (05:45 GMT) Netanyahu welcomes ICC sanctions after ‘ruthless campaign against Israel’ Prime Minister Netanyahu has welcomed President Trump’s executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its staff. “Thank you, President Trump, for your bold ICC Executive Order. It will defend America and Israel from the anti-American and antisemetic corrupt court that has no jurisdiction or basis to engage in lawfare against us,” Netanyahu said in posts on X. “The ICC waged a ruthless campaign against Israel as a trial run for action against America. President Trump’s Executive Order protects the sovereignty of both countries and its brave soldiers. Thank you, President Trump,” he added.
The photo has two Israeli flags, not "Jewish flags." From your many posts, I can understand how you might not be able to see the difference.
Are you goy? (not Jewish?) Here's a prominent Jew saying YOU DESERVE THE DEATH PENALTY! Do you agree with him? 6 - 6 1/2 billion people deserve the death penalty. THIS IS WHO THEY ARE! https://rumble.com/v1twv6q-rabbi-yosef-mizrachi-6-billion-people-dont-deserve-to-live.html Muslims aren't saying this, despite what Douglass Murray says.
Exactly, but Jews like to make a frequent big deal out of the publicly repeated propaganda mantra; "They want to annihilate us" in order to get brainwashed Christian sympathy and money and bombs so they have an excuse to annihilate first.
Hamas wants to turn all the Palestinians in Gaza into terrorists, doesn't want them leaving. Foreign barbarians and assimilation: Hamas deeply concerned about Gazans emigrating, doc. reveals This comes following US President Donald Trump’s announcement earlier this week of his plan to relocate residents from the Gaza Strip to neighboring countries. https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-841120 Hamas sees the emigration of young Gazans from the Gaza Strip as a great concern since this population forms the nucleus of the terror group's strength, according to a document seized by the IDF and exposed by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (MAITIC) on Thursday. This comes following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of his plan to relocate residents of the Gaza Strip to neighboring countries earlier this week. According to unofficial data, approximately 250,000 young people have left Gaza since 2007, primarily due to economic conditions. A survey revealed that 44% of young people in Gaza have considered emigrating, mainly for economic reasons. The document published by the MAITIC, titled "Young People Chasing an Illusion," and written by Hamas's Khan Yunis Brigade, a brigade within the terror group's military wing, describes emigration as a serious threat to Hamas’s power. "Even if Trump’s plan does not materialize, the opening of the Rafah Crossing and additional border crossings could trigger a significant wave of emigration from the Gaza Strip, given the extensive destruction and uncertainty about the future," experts from the center assessed. Such a scenario, they argue, would pose a major challenge for Hamas, which would struggle to prevent young people from emigrating. This phenomenon could weaken the terror group's political and military grip on the public in Gaza. The document reveals how the terror group attempted to combat this trend through religious and nationalist rhetoric, portraying emigration as a betrayal of Islamic values and the Palestinian struggle. It defines emigration as a severe threat on three levels: religious, moral, and social. Hamas warns young people against the "illusion of an easy life" in foreign countries, placing particular emphasis on the dangers of emigration for those involved in jihadist activities, describing them as a "precious treasure" that could fall into the hands of foreign intelligence agencies. The central message is that emigration, even if it brings economic prosperity, constitutes a betrayal of the national struggle and a grave religious sin, with consequences that will be felt "in this world and the next." The document also expresses deep concern about the "assimilation" of emigrants and their families. The author of the document specifically warns against marriages with foreign women (referred to as "barbarians" in the text), which could lead to the rise of a generation of children disconnected from their cultural and national roots. The document concludes with a call against emigration from Gaza, employing a combination of religious and nationalist rhetoric. The author presents a stark dichotomy between resistance and surrender, harshly criticizing those who choose to leave while others remain to fight. The author reinforces his arguments by referencing a Saudi-authored booklet that warns against emigration, which was also seized by the IDF. The booklet, based on Islamic sources, presents emigration as a spiritual and cultural threat, placing the emigrant in a constant state of alienation—torn between the desire for a comfortable life and the duty to preserve religious and cultural identity. The booklet outlines various dangers faced by Muslim emigrants in foreign countries, including exposure to "tempting" Western culture, the health hazards in the consumption of non-halal food, exposure to diseases, pandemics, and sexually transmitted infections, alongside ongoing psychological stress and uncertainty. Criticism of Trump's plan Arab states have criticized Trump's relocation plan, reaffirming the right of Gaza’s residents to remain in Gaza and their commitment to a two-state solution. Egypt is also leading a diplomatic effort to form a united Arab front against the proposal, seeking to rally European support as well. Jordan’s king warned that it would undermine regional security, while Egypt emphasized that it would not allow the permanent resettlement of Palestinians on its territory. The foreign ministers of five Arab countries also sent a joint letter to the US Secretary of State, voicing their opposition. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, issued a rare statement in Hebrew, emphasizing the "Palestinians' right to all of Palestine, from the river to the sea." Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister mocked the plan and sarcastically suggested that instead of relocating Palestinians, "Israelis should be sent to Greenland." Hezbollah and the Houthis have joined the chorus of opposition, accusing the US and Israel of attempting the "complete annihilation and expulsion" of the Palestinians. The Houthis have pledged "unrestricted support" for Egypt and Jordan should they confront Washington over the issue. The Iranian Axis has labeled the plan a grave violation of international law, criticizing the "silence of the free world" and the "cowardice" of Arab states in the face of the American initiative.
Hamas has a written charter which calls for the deaths of all Jews in Israel. You can’t get much more obvious and direct than that.
By — Darlene Superville, Associated Press By — Joshua Goodman, Associated Press Trump orders sanctions on International Criminal Court for investigating Israel World Feb 7, 2025 WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court over investigations of Israel, a close U.S. ally. Neither the U.S. nor Israel is a member of or recognizes the court, which has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes over his military response in Gaza after the Hamas attack against Israel in October 2023. Tens of thousands of Palestinians, including children, have been killed during the Israeli military’s response. The order Trump signed Thursday accuses the ICC of engaging in “illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel” and of abusing its power by issuing “baseless arrest warrants” against Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant. “The ICC has no jurisdiction over the United States or Israel,” the order states, adding that the court had set a “dangerous precedent” with its actions against both countries. Trump’s action came as Netanyahu was visiting Washington. He and Trump held talks Tuesday at the White House, and Netanyahu spent some of Thursday meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. The order says the U.S. will impose “tangible and significant consequences” on those responsible for the ICC’s “transgressions.” Actions may include blocking property and assets and not allowing ICC officials, employees and relatives to enter the United States. Human rights activists said sanctioning court officials would have a chilling effect and run counter to U.S. interests in other conflict zones where the court is investigating. “Victims of human rights abuses around the world turn to the International Criminal Court when they have nowhere else to go, and President Trump’s executive order will make it harder for them to find justice,” said Charlie Hogle, staff attorney with American Civil Liberties Union’s National Security Project. “The order also raises serious First Amendment concerns because it puts people in the United States at risk of harsh penalties for helping the court identify and investigate atrocities committed anywhere, by anyone.” Hogle said the order “is an attack on both accountability and free speech.” “You can disagree with the court and the way it operates, but this is beyond the pale,” Sarah Yager, Washington director of Human Rights Watch, said in an interview prior to the announcement. Like Israel, the U.S. is not among the court’s 124 members and has long harbored suspicions that a global court could arbitrarily prosecute U.S. officials. A 2002 law authorizes the Pentagon to liberate any American or U.S. ally held by the court. In 2020, Trump sanctioned chief prosecutor Karim Khan’s predecessor, Fatou Bensouda, over her decision to open an inquiry into war crimes committed by all sides, including the U.S., in Afghanistan. However, those sanctions were lifted under President Joe Biden, and the U.S. began to tepidly cooperate with the tribunal — especially after Khan in 2023 charged Russian President Vladimir Putin with war crimes in Ukraine. Driving that turnaround was Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who organized meetings in Washington, New York and Europe between Khan and GOP lawmakers who have been among the court’s fiercest critics. Now, Graham says he feels betrayed by Khan — and is vowing to crush the court as well as the economy of any country that tries to enforce the arrest warrant against Netanyahu. “This is a rogue court. This is a kangaroo court,” Graham said in an interview in December. “There are places where the court makes perfect sense. Russia is a failed state. People fall out of windows. But I never in my wildest dreams imagined they would go after Israel, which has one of the most independent legal systems on the planet.” “The legal theory they’re using against Israel has no limits and we’re next,” he added. Biden had called the warrants an abomination, and Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, has accused the court of having an antisemitic bias. Any sanctions could cripple the court by making it harder for its investigators to travel and by compromising U.S.-developed technology to safeguard evidence. The court last year suffered a major cyberattack that left employees unable to access files for weeks. Some European countries are pushing back. The Netherlands, in a statement late last year, called on other ICC members “to cooperate to mitigate risks of these possible sanctions, so that the court can continue to carry out its work and fulfil its mandate.” The U.S. relationship with the ICC is a complicated one. The United States participated in negotiations that led to the adoption of the Rome Statute that established the court as a tribunal of last resort to prosecute the world’s worst atrocities — war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide — if individual governments did not take action. The U.S. voted against the Rome Statute in 1998. Then-U.S. President Bill Clinton signed the statute in 2000 but did not send the treaty to the U.S. Senate to be ratified. When George W. Bush became president in 2001, he effectively canceled the U.S. signature and led a campaign to pressure countries to enter bilateral agreements not to hand over Americans to the ICC.
