Is Keir Starmer Really Going To Arrest Benjamin Netanyahu?

[Khandro]

'Benjamin Netanyahu faces arrest if he enters Britain. That is the welcome the Israeli leader will receive should he fancy another trip to the UK anytime soon. It comes after the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister, along with former Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant and Mohammed Deif of Hamas, who is thought to be already dead. Justifying the decision to issue warrants for the two Israeli politicians, the court said they shared criminal responsibility for ‘the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.’

Downing Street has confirmed that it will respect the ICC’s decision once the UK domestic process had taken place

In response, the Israeli government has – unsurprisingly – heavily criticised the judgment. The United States (which is not an ICC member) has also ‘fundamentally’ rejected the court’s decision – stating that the ICC has no ‘jurisdiction over this matter’. The incoming Trump administration has warned of a ‘strong response to the antisemitic bias of the ICC and UN come January’ when Trump takes office.

In contrast, Downing Street has confirmed that it will respect the ICC’s decision once the UK domestic process had taken place. This is thought to reference the ratification of the warrant by a UK court. Starmer’s spokesman said the UK government would comply with its legal obligations but added there was no ‘moral equivalence’ between Israel and Hamas.'

The ICC, Ayatollahs without beards. 🙄

Atheist . The ICC have been discredited and their known anti-Semitic bias has no authority. The ICC is currently facing significant challenges which may put the court's legitimacy into question. These challenges include a weak record of prosecutions, discord among the court's judges, and a difficult relationship with the world's great powers, such as Russia and the United States.

Untitled; Jews shoot Muslim terrorists not because they are Muslims, but because they are terrorists trying to annihilate Jews. 

It isn't genocide.

Let me ask you this. If the hamas leader landed in UK, would you want the UK govt to comply with the icc arrest warrant and arrest him, or would you want them to ignore it?

Pity posters don't read some of the info posted here. Genocide is not on the list of the ICC's charges.
