On Monday, the ICC's chief prosecutor applied for arrest warrants to be issued against Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Defence Minister and three Hamas leaders. So, in this video, we're going to answer what just happened, where things go from here, and whether Netanyahu will actually be hauled in front of judges in the Hague.

@@whathell6t That's bullshit, you are spreading far-right Israeli propoganda. They tell the story that way because they wanted Netanyahu to be far harsher on the Palestinians in Gaza than he historically has been - even though the rest of the world already thinks all of his actions against them have been too harsh. Qatar was trying to send aid money into the Gaza Strip, which necessarily meant the money would go to Hamas as they were the elected government in the Strip since Israel's pullout in 2006. The area at the time was on the brink of a humanitarian disaster - was he supposed to reject the passage of aid money and just enforce starvation? That's what the far-right zionists wanted; starve the Palestinians and they can't fight against us. Would Netanyahu have done it if he could go back in time and know that much of the aid money would just be misappropriated by Hamas and used for military purposes instead, even though he'd be directly starving Palestinians to death? Probably he would have. That doesn't mean he was personally funelling money to Hamas for selfish political gain, you're insane and gullible.

[@128Benja]

It is a call for all leaders to prioritize people and peace. It's a condemnation of wars that start with attacks on innocent civilians. The ICC intervention aims to hold accountable those who commit crimes against humanity, regardless of their country's political system. Europe, having borne the brunt of devastating wars, understands the importance of preventing future conflicts. Their decision not to blindly follow suit reflects a commitment to upholding the law. Innocent lives are lost due to poorly planned interventions. Retaliation shouldn't come at the cost of innocent lives. There are better ways to hold leaders accountable without resorting to violence. The world is yearning for peace. We need strong international action to deter future conflicts. This is a stand for the safety of people who live in constant danger zones. This is a call to action for all leaders to prioritize peace and protect human life.

[@nielskorpel8860]

As a mathematician, i would like to bring up the math term would be equivalence. And that is a broad term, that depends on criteria. To explain, lets look at some extreme forms of equivalence: Here is a question: Are... the Israeli leaders that may be arrested ...equivalent to... the Hamas leaders that may be arrested ..., or not? Well: * They are, because they are all humans. There is something in common. * They are not, because they belong to different groups. There is a difference. None of these criteria are very helpful, but they show the folly of cries about whether you are allowed to compare. So what criteria do matter? The two groups of leaders are being held equivalent, in the sense of having committed either crimes against humanity, or war crimes. People whine about it, because they want to be regarded as the better party in the conflict, and they feel insulted to be said to be just as bad as the other. Boo. hoo. This is about crimes. Both committed some. This is not a wink to one side that they are secretly in the right in this conflict. Lets treat them equivalently, tell them this is not about the conflict but about crimes, and use this equivalence to demand that the crimes stop in both parties. And then sit back and enjoy grown adult geopoliticians whine like little children who cannot understand this stuff, as they play with the lives of millions of citizens in whatever side. You can just see which commenters/geopoliticians are invested in their own sides' conflict logic, and who are looking at it from a distance.

For people refusing to listen to the pertinent parts of the video or refusing to use Google: The ICC has jurisdiction when (1) the crime occurred on the territory of a state that has accepted the ICC's jurisdiction or (2) when the person accused of the crime is a national of a state that has accepted the ICC's jurisdiction. Its jurisdiction exists only with respect to crimes committed after the entry into force of the Rome Statute (that is, when the pertinent state accepted the ICC's jurisdiction). The Rome Statute entered into force on 1 July 2002 in respect to founding members. - Palestine accepted the ICC's jurisdiction by becoming a member state, and that's why the ICC can prosecute any person (including Israeli nationals) for crimes committed in Palestine and can prosecute Palestinian nationals for crimes committed outside of Palestine (including crimes committed in Israel). - For the purposes of the Rome Statute, a state is whatever the UN recognizes as a state. The UN General Assembly has accepted Palestine as a "Permanent Observer STATE" (same status currently held by the Vatican and same status that Switzerland had before 2002), so the Palestinian acceptance of the ICC's jurisdiction is legally valid regardless of what Israel or the US (which aren't even parties to the Rome Statute) think about Palestine's statehood. - Putin is being prosecuted for crimes which occurred on the territory of Ukraine, a state which has accepted the ICC's jurisdiction for crimes committed on its territory from 2013 onwards. it doesn't matter that Russia didn't sign the Rome Statute, because the ICC prosecutes people (like Vladimir Putin), not states (like the Russian Federation). - The US, Syria, China, Iraq and Afghanistan, among others, haven't accepted the ICC's jurisdiction, so the ICC can't prosecute: (1) Americans for crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan; (2) Bashar Al-Assad for crimes committed in Syria; (3) Chinese officials for crimes committed in China. - No crimes committed before 2002 could ever be prosecuted by the ICC, regardless of where of by whom they were committed.

Why are you putting quotes over those things like they didn’t happen or weren’t warranted

[@eldrago19]

Because it was never issued. It seems incredibly unlikely that the ICC would issue a warrant for someone who did not order and was unaware of the crime. The ICC has a list of all warrants it has issued and the Queen of England does not appear on it. A Google search for such a warrant shows multiple fact checks describing it as false.

[@kaplanbahadir2301]

Why not? We should put the queen at the time responsible. They used to dig up the old bones of popes and put them on trial for crimes committed in life. So it's nothing we haven't seen before.

[@2dradon2]

Firstly, its not the Queen of England. She was the Queen of the United Kingdom (like how Joe Biden is the president of the USA, not California) secondly, I just checked on AAP fact checker and this is what is written: "No valid arrest warrants have been issued against the Queen or Pope as the International Common Law Court of Justice has no legal authority or jurisdiction, international criminal law experts told AAP FactCheck. Arrest warrants and judgments by the so-called court are meaningless. The only court which can investigate and pursue charges for crimes against humanity is the International Criminal Court. False - The claim is inaccurate."

[@a2falcone]

The ICC was created in 2002 and has no jurisdiction over crimes committed before that date. How did you think the law works? Furthermore, the ICC prosecutes individuals who committed crimes, so I doubt a powerless figurehead would ever be charged of anything even if the ICC had jurisdiction, when there's no shortage people who are guilty despite not appearing on Canada's money.

[@habargada4200]

In a brazen move, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a law that imposes sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) if it initiates investigations or prosecutes individuals protected by the United States or its allies. The message is clear: "We are the masters of the world..." We prosecute whomever we want, protect whomever we want, and give the green light to commit crimes to whomever we want. The West applauded the issuance of an international arrest warrant against Putin, but it was outraged when ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan demanded a similar warrant against Netanyahu and his defense minister. The law passed by the U.S. lawmakers is nothing but an attempt to pressure the ICC to reject Karim Khan's request. There has been talk for years about the necessity of establishing a new international system, and the Al-Aqsa Flood operation and the subsequent revelations confirmed that the need for new international mechanisms has become an urgent necessity. Western, and especially American, arrogance has become so blatant that they don't even bother to maintain appearances and play openly. Karim Khan said after his historic request that a Western official contacted him and told him that this court was established for Africa and for thugs like Putin, according to his expression. The new American law of shame is nothing but a public translation of this statement. Humanity will remain indebted to the Palestinian resistance, which, through its blessed struggle, has exposed this Western world that killed 4 million people worldwide in its wars over the last two decades alone. If we go back to its record since the discovery of the Americas and the genocide of Native Americans, we will face numbers that calculators cannot handle. It is also certain that China and Russia are looking with much satisfaction at the collapse of the West's image around the world, paving the way for them to impose a new vision and lead the rest of the world, disgruntled with the current state of humanity.

I find it funny that that's the best people like you can say. The ICC has never convicted anyone they themselves arrested because they've never had any troops to do so. Not to mention it is kinda funny people hold that against the ICC since the ICC is a court. The judical power (courts, prosecutors,...) are seperate from the executive power (under whom the police falls) in pretty much every nation. Still doesn't change the fact they actually convicted people nobody thought at one point in time would ever stand on trial and doesn't change the fact an independent organization that is charged with judging whether states/individuals are ignoring international treaties told Israel that they've got two war criminals in the government and the Western leaders that they're backing a country that is doing things that are not actually acceptable by international laws despite constantly saying they're all for respecting the international laws. The prosecutor asked for the warrants, if the warrants are approved the ICC will trust the partners to apprehend the people they seek and if those partners like Great Britain say "No, we will just allow Netanyahu to come into our country and do nothing." then everybody in the world can see that Great Britain don't care about international laws. What makes you think for example South Africa will then apprehend Putin should he come into South Africa ? If the British don't care about Netanyahu because it is somehow to their benefit not to care then what makes you think South Africa would care about Putin or somebody else the West cared about if it were to be in their benefit not to care?
