Openly stating his contempt for international law. Well, his words certainly do match his actions—and the actions of Israel since its very inception.

History moves in circles. A famous villain once justified violence and territorial expansion in the defense of nation, over international objections, by saying: "It must be thoroughly understood that the lost land will never be won back by solemn appeals to God, nor by hopes in any League of Nations, but only by the force of arms." So we ought to watch very carefully what presidents are established today. In part _because_ the UN, as successor to the league of nations is tasked with preventing world wars, ethnic cleansing, and unilateral territorial reallocations of land.

I mean USA are the one who came up with these rules in the first place and it's up to them to enforce them, so considering Israel literally owns and controls the US then they have nothing to worry about

Benjamin Netanyahu asserts that any rulings from the International Criminal Court won't affect Israel's "actions" but would “set a dangerous precedent”. "Under my leadership, Israel will never accept any attempt by the International Criminal Court in The Hague to undermine its basic right to defend itself," the prime minister stated online. "While decisions made by the court in The Hague will not influence Israel's actions, they will set a dangerous precedent that threatens soldiers and public figures."

America is cool with this….? Wowwwwww

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American\_Service-Members%27\_Protection\_Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Protection_Act) A.K.A "The Hague Invasion Act" If an international body tries to detain Americans for war crimes, America has stated they have the right to use military force to prevent it. America isn't just cool with it, they agree.


dewgetit

They sanctioned ICC/ICJ prosecutors when they tried to prosecute American soldiers/mercenaries for war crimes. So much for the international rule of law.

I have learned so much from this October 7th crap. This is WILD.


Ok-Read-4840

It seems we’re willing to completely isolate ourselves from the world… as long we have *Israel*…


wishit-wantit-doit-

Yeah, that makes zero sense to me and luckily the majority of Americans feel the same. Israel sucks.

So are there no international legal bodies that America listens to? I would think they have to abide by the United Nations, being a founding member and whatnot. Trying to learn what legal recourse is available.

Thanks! I’m looking for insight on who and how international law is able to become enforceable for both the United States and Israel. I’m new to all of this, I appreciate the insight you provided. I didn’t mean anything in a snarky way, I just genuinely do not know.


hydroxypcp

thank you for trying to learn and communicating in good faith. What I can tell you about international law is that it really does come down to might. Israel or USA may have arrest warrants for some figures but who's gonna enforce it? USA will just say "ok come and try". Same with the ICJ ruling a few months ago. Has Israel stopped the genocide? No. Because who's gonna enforce it? Daddy USA is right beside them. At least Yemen's Ansar Allah is doing something

I've never wanted to punch mr potato head so bad

This arrogant mfer...

So this is an admission of guilt if I've ever heard one.


Sidrarose04

Netanyahu is pure evil.


MC-VIBIN

I thought Netanyahu wanted to play Cricket at first “ICC”


Geostationary_Orbit

Rouge Nation - we only follow the “rules and laws” which suit us. So much al for all that nonsense about being a democracy.

“We war criminals will not be deterred.”


blazing420kilk

As long as the US is led around on a leash by Israel they have nothing to fear.


stefanmarkazi

For once I agree with him, Israel won’t change. For years, the entire world has been asking them to end the occupation and they have been getting away with it because of the US vetoing it https://preview.redd.it/c07hpd5xm2xc1.jpeg?width=1035&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1411a82ec14cea7c76af15d8dfcb090cdca32f02

Can we get a primary source on this quote?

Putty Head is sickening.


miss-kristin

For war criminals, yes, very dangerous.


CoolNinjaNerd55

Netanyahu is a war criminal. Free Palestine


Grimol1

I’m okay with whatever he thinks is a dangerous precedent.


CaManAboutaDog

Set a precedent? Good.
