Summary

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former defense minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza and during the October 2023 attacks.

The court alleges actions like depriving Gaza civilians of essential resources.

Israel and the U.S., non-members of the ICC, reject the warrants, with Netanyahu calling them antisemitic.

Hamas also criticized the decision.

The practical enforcement of these warrants remains uncertain, as the ICC lacks authority to compel arrests.

This is the correct call! A majority of Palestinians and Israeli do not want war. It’s a few bad apples on both sides and they should all be jailed.

Israelis are largely in favor of it. Netanyahus approval has skyrocketed, when they launched the offensive on Lebanon and Israelis opposing the wars and occupation are increasingly targeted by the government and government affiliated "settler" terror groups. These terror groups have ramped up their pogroms in East Jerusalem and the West Bank and decent Israelis who get in their way are beaten while the IDF watches.

As someone living in Israel, that's a nice thought but a fundamental misunderstanding of Israeli politics. The vast majority of Israelis not only support war but support a complete and total genocide of every Muslim in the middle east. Furthermore a very large amount of Israelis see the hostages as an acceptable loss if it means they can kill more Palestinian civilians. Its not "a few bad apples", Israel is a fundamentally rotten "nation" that only exists on genocide and war.

I've heard that it's quite jarring to be living in Israel as someone who's progressive. Like, it's not just about state suppression of protests, but the levels of social condemnation that you get when the media landscape is so heavily skewed

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Yes, I get socially ostracized whenever I express any even slightly left wing points. Hell even pointing out the nearly 50k dead Palestinian civilians causes people to respond angrily and with comments like "they brought it upon themselves" or "it's the fault of Hamas exclusively"

No one wants their lives disrupted by war. Settlers and the army do not represent the majority.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

The vast majority of Israelis either directly or indirectly support the army. Even the most progressive Israelis (specifically people who call themselves Israeli) will rarely speak out against war crimes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They don't see their lives as being disrupted any more than usual. That's the problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A war with the middle east is not normal disruption. No one wants to experience a war specially families on both ends.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Tell that to the families in Tel Aviv. They are not having the same experience as a family in Lebanon.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They were bombed by Iran. I guess you are super brave to think the thought of death as not a bid deal. I think isreal is committing genocide lets get that straight. There are a lot of families that dont want to fear death everyday.

Iran's missiles didn't stand a chance.

Alright I honestly didn't know Lebanon was getting effects that far south. But then we need new polling, post bombing, to see if there's been good change or bad change. Because bombing can have an effect where it actually concentrates support for the regime, and it can have an effect where people get mad at the regime because they think they're being abandoned.

Genocide takes a lot more than a few bad apples making a whoopsie.

You don't have a clue what you are talking about.

You have no idea what you are talking about!

Israelis are terrorists who take part of the IDF to ensure the occupation of Palestine.

Of course, people like Haredi Jews and other minorities that don‘t take part of the IDF are innocent. But the rest are terrorists and should be treated as such. ✊

The Palestinian armed resistance is completely valid and it isn’t a „few bad apples“.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Haredis are innocent? Their vision for a the state of Israel is revanchist and purely Jewish. Their votes are squarely in a right-wing corner.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

The majority of Israelis do want war. They only want the hostages out more.

Not such a thing as bad apple in an occupied population

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hamas and their leaders along with the nut jobs running Israel! All it takes is a few bad apples!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You can talk about bad apples on Palestine side if Israel leave all occupied land and stop Gaza blockade and armed group decide to still attack Israel
