The International Criminal Court in The Hague issues arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister and the leader of Hamas. https://www.icc-cpi.int/news
"The antisemitic decision of the International Criminal Court is a modern Dreyfus trial – and will end the same way. Israel utterly rejects the false and absurd charges of the International Criminal Court, a biased and discriminatory political body," reacts Prime Minister Netanyahu's office.
@w7voa He's literally saying it's antisemitic to condemn genocide, huh?
@w7voa oh look, a suspect criticising an arrest warrant.

@w7voa

I am sure #vladimirputin would agree with this statement by #benjaminnetanyahu !

@w7voa Recognizing Netanyahu’s crimes does not make one antisemitic. Believe me, as an American I can sympathize with people whose country is led by a criminal.
@w7voa how does he explain the arrest warrant for the current Hamas leader if the court is antisemitic? Time to bring him to court. The genocide has been going on for way too long.

@w7voa This is something I'd noticed some years back, and is of course just ablaze lately: Disagreeing with something a Jewish person (or country) does, doesn't make it default antisemitic.

One can of course disagree with people for the act itself, which has nothing in the least to do with the race of the person doing it.

If I litter and someone calls me on it, that's not them having a problem with white people. It's me doing something I shouldn't and being taken to task for it.

And it's the same with every other race: Unless being called down for something is somehow inherently referring to something about the race ("Damn white people are always littering, that's their way") it's not about race.

So everyone everywhere, please stop making any and all criticism about your actions or your country's actions somehow about race, and instead answer to the objective problem being discussed.

@w7voa Oh, and just to underscore that this is far from just a problem with mislabeling things as antisemitic, my (caucasian) wife has been teaching in a high Asian and African immigration area of the city for decades and has, only lately, been accused by immigrant parents of being racist when anything constructively critical -- as a teacher is supposed to do -- is mentioned about their child.

The issue is the issue. But more and more people are conflating issues being mentioned as racism, which is slanderous at worst and still ignores the problem at best.

@w7voa Next do Putin and Trump.
@w7voa About damned time!

@w7voa

Great job! They might be just in time to save the last child remaining. They should ensure that the warrant is printed on double ply for maximum comfort when they deliver it to Israel.

I'd like to be there when they open the Gaza Genocide Memorial parking lot in Gaza City after they annex and rebuild it. The monument will soothe the souls of all those murdered and the Israelis parking there to go get some McDonalds.

@w7voa the geopolitical version of unsportsmanlike conduct on both teams. It's on the books but no players are taken off the field

@w7voa

This SHOULD raise the outrage of the entire world Jewish community. It is Netanyahu equating the state of Israel to the Judaic faith, and infers on the faith the embracing of the principle of genocide.

Trump is taking lessons. His autocratic state invites the same reaction autocratic leaders throughout history have created, the resistance thru the only avenue left, force. Up to and including attempts at assassination. And that justifies the use of more force by the state.

I see dark days ahead. The media is still glossing it over. Just look at Joe and Mika, and realize the vector. Money is driving truth and democracy into the ground.
