The ICC Just Greatly Helped Netanyahu

So the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan said this week he will seek arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his defense minister Yoav Gallant, and three leaders of Hamas…relating to the October 7th attack and the war that’s followed…thus creating an appalling moral-equivalency between the democratic state of Israel and a barbaric terrorist organization.

The ICC’s accused Israel of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the intentional starvation of civilians as a weapon of war and attacks against a civilian population. It is unconscionable to say that, rather than the death and destruction in Gaza being about Israel’s retaliation for the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, it is instead a ‘strategic plan’ to starve and kill Palestinians.

This is not surprising, as the international community has a history of perpetually condemning Israel while turning a blind eye to atrocities being committed all over the world, including right in Israel’s backyard in countries like Syria and Yemen….and including and especially acts of terrorism against Israel itself. That’s because Israel, and Jews, have always been and always will be an easy target. Because it’s always ok to spill Jewish blood. Because the world hates Jews.
