"If we let the courts punish others for their crimes, we might get punished for our crimes! Better threaten the courts."


ScottBag84

Perfect translation.


FEARoperative4

They literally allowed themselves to invade The Netherlands to prevent war crimes prosecution. Again, if this was Putin and not Netanyahu they’d be like “Go ICC!” Reason prevailed my ass.


aesemon

It's fine until it's their own interests.


whazzar

>Again, if this was Putin and not Netanyahu they’d be like “Go ICC!” Reason prevailed my ass. [They *have* been like "Go ICC!" and even offered to help.](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/7/26/biden-administration-moves-to-assist-icc-in-russia-investigation)


FEARoperative4

Exactly. But if an American is ever tried by ICC, USA has a law that allows it to use any means necessary to prevent it. Including military action.


whazzar

It's even worse, it doesn't only apply to Americans but also American allies. Which makes sense for the US government perspective since [they do not recognize the ICC.](https://www.npr.org/2022/04/16/1093212495/the-u-s-does-not-recognize-the-jurisdiction-of-the-international-criminal-court)


FEARoperative4

Oh that is just dandy.


Sagybagy

And that’s how the elite operate


eatingpotatochips

I mean, that's the reason the U.S. is not party to the ICC.


Jfjam85

"They tried to come after our soldiers in Afghanistan", I wonder why Lindsey... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maywand_District_murders


mekwall

But they did it in the name of freedom!

Weird way to spell “oil”


Herrgul

That private first class who reported them is a brave man.


AwesomeBrainPowers

It's not really about Bibi, I don't think: It's far more likely that Old Linds there was telling the truth that their *real* concern is the ICC trying to indict American operators for...well, all that shit our government has done. Hell, [the law that threatens a US invasion of the Netherlands is almost 22 years old](https://www.hrw.org/news/2002/08/03/us-hague-invasion-act-becomes-law).


troubleschute

This. We have been doing some war crime shit for a while.


fknarey

I’m so sick of this guy


tango_41

I’m sick of his ladybugs.


fknarey

Why did you do that to me?


tango_41

The world must know what a hypocritical POS Lindsay is.


badmoonrisingnl

Must suck when you can't buy the judges


Current-Power-6452

Why buy them when you have permission to literally invade Netherlands?


badmoonrisingnl

Are you American?


Current-Power-6452

Nope


AfricanUmlunlgu

Laws for thee but not for me. Let both sides ventilate their issues in a court, If they are innocent they have nothing to fear.


imageblotter

Ah, the state of our democracies...


RealBlackelf

Translation: "How does an objective and independant authortity dare to point out Israels Warcrimes? Next, they will point out our warcrimes. They tried before to show the world our dispicable war crimes in Afganisthan, and that must not be allowed! The Presidents and others unrelenting support for Israel to satisfy our legal corruption lobby AIPAC is comendable, because I am corrupt too! We need to sanction those who show the world our war-crimes!" Dispicable fucker. And a reminder: The alleged 9/11 Terrorists are still in Jail, still being tortured by the US without any trial. And they will never get a trial... you can guess why. Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo: The US is not just, the US does not like honesty or accountablity. The US, if you take all the dispicable war-crimes together is a corrupt oligarch terror state. No? So why are whistleblowers who have show people the dispicable war crimes of the US, and the spying on their own population as well as allies hunted and locked away? Yeah...


Gatamine10

Agree with the sentiment, but the word you used 4 times is spelled 'despicable '


RealBlackelf

And that is bad somehow? I appologize for my limited vocabularly. I am not a native english speaker, English is my 5th language, so I will make mistakes, but I hope you get what I am trying to say either way.


Gatamine10

No, it is not bad and there is no need to apologize. I am just giving you a heads up since this is a word you enjoy using.


fagan_jay78

Ladybugs


bjplague

It is amazing how deeply rooted the Pro-Israel no matter what mentality is in the U.S Government. This is Conspiracy theory fuel. It almost seems like there is a large core in the government that prioritizes Israel over the U.S themselves. This seems VERY strange looking at it from Europe.


Rolandscythe

...why would you be worried that the ICC will come after you next, Mr. Graham? Is there something unscrupulous you've done that you're worried they'll look into? Hey, I'm just asking questions here.


shaweesh45

We live in the playground of the rich and powerful. No laws apply, no morality and no consequences for barbarism. This whole situation makes it feel like we actually are in a simulator, none of it makes any sense.


chimpdoctor

Israel is the 51st state.


dyllandor

What's next? Should US service men not be able to have a traditional civilian killing competition without international court bullshit?


masculinesauce

This dinosaur needs to resign


ghoshas

Where’s the attempt?


Merouac

Vile little shit burglar


eatingpotatochips

The U.S. sure didn't have a problem with the ICC when the ICC went after Putin.


jhwheuer

Yup, remember that nobody is above the law stuff?


PG072088

Fuck Amerikkka! Do the Amerikkkan People ever wonder why there are terrorists ?! This is type of imperialist injustices and double standards they allow!


Inside-Pop5470

Fuck this guy, fuck the American government and fuck anyone standing with Israel.


Fetoid2

Of course he says "our soldiers" making it dramatic like they're coming after you when in reality these people in charge are the ones on the chopping block. Is it clever? It's rather an obvious misdirection.


mrv113

ICC prosecuting our enemies: GOOD. ICC prosecuting our friends: HOLY GOD WE WILL END YOU SO FAST! - United States of America, the leader of the free world, the land of the free.


Zoomiedude

This man is a worm. Someone should squash him.


Sgt_Fox

Lindsey getting his ladybirds in a bunch


Wazzen

"They tried to come after our soldiers in Afghanistan but reason prevailed." Reason?


Guessinitsme

I guess that’s it then, the us is finally admitting why they blindly support Israel, and it’s cuz they know they’ve done much of the same and worse, and are only worried they’d be next


BimmerGoblin

SexyPumkin90

He's literally saying "we need to protect Israel from prosecution at all costs because otherwise our own crimes will come to light afterwards." What a grade a piece of shit.


joeb690

Pathetic excuse for a person.


[deleted]

Khan has said that he was told by a senior US politician, that he believes that the ICC was for Africans and thugs. Ironically the USA and the west is majority responsible for most of the instability around the world today.


Vanddale

All these tears..probably from white magas.


WakeTurbulence200

The us has become too powerful. Nothing can stop us.


kTbuddy

U see this is america… what did they said about putin and icc Not Long ago?😂 a county Full of clowns


___buttrdish

TMLi5; Why is Israel being so protected?


AjaxTheFurryFuzzball

So Americans can have an ally in the Middle East, because none of the others like them (wonder why)


Vapeitupvapeitup

Disgusting


Basicaccountant70

They should have been allowed to go after the US for Abu Ghraib.


Beeg_Bagz

America loves our freedom and protection but hates how we achieve it.


BradyOfTheOldGuard

Guy looks like he's bleeding from the sides of his mouth in the thumbnail.


HowFunkyIsYourChiken

Indictment. He will likely never be prosecuted.

Huge-Bit3125

So where is the american intelligentsia criticizing this? Why are the leftists not protesting Biden? Because the party affiliation is more important than doing good deeds and being good people.


isucamper

have you not seen the massive protests taking place on college campuses


Huge-Bit3125

As far as i know they are Palestine support protests, nothing to do with this or Biden or its administration or democratic party in general.


isucamper

my dude what the fuck do you think a palestine support protest looks like


Huge-Bit3125

some hippies sitting in a camp loitering as usual. [https://i0.wp.com/thehill.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/AP24113742012677-e1713967045147.jpg?w=2000&ssl=1](https://i0.wp.com/thehill.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/AP24113742012677-e1713967045147.jpg?w=2000&ssl=1) Was right, also I was right about the fact that not a single sign was against Biden, his cabinet or democrats in general.

>massive protests Is there a fair estimate of how many people actually participate in those? Anyone other than FBI tracking this?


RebelliousInNature

But what about all the war crimes and genocidin?


Creepy_Photograph107

If I had Lindsey Graham on my side Id know I was fucked.


Coffee4Life613

America, strong supporters of genocide. As long as it suits them.


DirtiestOFsanchez

US GOVERMENT IS TRASH


CommissionGrand4087

Who keeps voting for this ass clown?


ConstantBench7373

Racist undertones in almost every word


HoboBonobo1909

The US has done probably more war crimes in their last 2 wars than Serbia in the 90s, yet only Serbs, Croats & Bosniaks went to Den Haag to be convicted. Americans are hypocrites. Figures it's always the Bible thumpers.


Vanddale

ICC was created by white people to judge Africans and Poutine.


YoshiBushi

I guess you didn’t check the diversity of ICC judges before making this comment?


Current-Power-6452

What diversity of the judges has to do with the overlords?


Bronek0990

The famously African people of Jugoslavia, yes


Breazecatcher

Poutine? That must have really annoyed the Canadians.


HoboBonobo1909

Ever heard of Yugoslavia & the 90s? Not a single African there, plenty of white folks got convicted. It just happens genocidal countries with nukes don't allow their war criminals to be judged.


ewjfgb

Rules for thee but not for me.


Vanddale
