Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

I doubt any country will have the stones to arrest him in the face of US pressure.

At least with America going full mask off as a force of evil, the rest of the world can stop waiting on us to do the right thing.

Seriously if anything good can come from this the U.S. needs to stop fucking around with other countries sovereignty and handle it's own affairs for a few decades.

Look at what happened to Brazil during trump's presidency. JCPOA. Paris climate accord. The bullshit always overflows.

I think the mask truly went off in 2003. Dubya was an international terrorist in the highest office of the world.

That was really Cheney, his handler.

Don't worry though, Dems are buddies with the Cheney family now. Those Republican votes for Kamala are going to turn up any day now.

There is number of countries already said they would.

"The Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland, Italy, and Spain all said they would meet their commitments and obligations regarding the Rome Statute and International Law."

If Trump plans on doing everything he says he’s going to do he’s going to expend his political capital rather quickly, and likely meet more resistance than he may be able to handle, domestically and internationally.

International war crimes, mass deportations, curtailing the rights of queer people and women, deleting entire government departments, introducing tariffs. Also being in Russia’s pocket, then adding pressure from other big actors like China, Ukraine, and Iran into the mix. That’s a lot to juggle and many of America’s long-standing allies may no longer be willing to fully back the new mask off fascist regime.

Netanyahu may just become a liability.

Does anyone know how the dimwit lawn torch carrying maga bros square hatred of jews with backing of zionists? Do they just never speak of it? I have a hard time pictruring them sitting in a circle in front of a fire drinking bad domestic beer, talking about the nuances of politics or any sort of long term strategy. Maybe they just push it down and ignore it? Or maybe they hate brown and black skin more than white jewish skin?

For the maga leadership its obviously about money, but the voters?? Anyone have experience here?
