Reported as “Turkish State Media”, which it is, but on investigation, despite being Right biased, I’m not seeing a bunch of factual issues or propaganda like we do with, say, Iranian state media.
Allowing it for now, if it becomes a problem, we may re-visit the issue.
OK, thanks for the heads-up.
The Zionist demons are starving 2 million people. 60 days and not a grain of rice has entered Gaza.
Now they are attacking aid ships in international waters, which is yet another war crime to add to the pile.
Fuck israel. It has no right to exist
China has done absolutely nothing. That must make you mad.
I think China is playing the long game at building up its economic and military power while the US destroys itself.
It’s history doesn’t suggest a desire to meddle or colonize like the European powers.
Please correct me if I’m wrong but I believe war crimes are only enforced by ICC members and often only punish smaller countries. Unfortunately, USA and Israel are not members and none of the members are seemingly going to enforce it, so the law effectively doesn’t apply. Of course what they’re doing should be illegal but what is illegal if nobody does anything about it?
Palestine is an ICC member state since 2014 however. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/31/icc-membership-double-edged-sword-palestine
But yeah there is no point in any ICC rulings, if the member states just ignore the court.
I wonder if officially convicting Netanyahu would be dangerous because then members have to enforce it and if they don’t it’ll diminish the legitimacy of the law.
Would be nice for the world to know that a major chunk of the world officially believes what he is doing is illegal.
EDIT: there is an arrest warrant
Wdym? There is an official arrest warrant for him already. So far ICC member countries have just been silent to defiant when it comes to actually arresting him.

Hungary sadly has alrady been the first country to actually violate their obligations to the ICC. I assume others will follow like Germany.
During Netanyahu’s visit, Orbán announced that Hungary would withdraw from the ICC. Per the Rome Statute, Hungary would need to formally notify the UN Secretary General. The withdrawal would become effective withdraw a year later. Hungary’s obligation to arrest Netanyahu was unaffected by Orbán’s announcement.[51]
On 3 April, the ICJP submitted a formal complaint to the Hungarian Minister of Justice stating that the Hungarian authorities were obliged to arrest Netanyahu in line with Hungarian obligations as a state party to the Rome Statute, under Article 86 of the Statute requiring it to cooperate with the ICC.
I very much doubt Germany could grant Netanyahu immunity from arrest without withdrawing from the ICC, which is not going to happen. Just because Merz says he’d like to do something doesn’t mean it’s going to happen, he’s running his mouth all the time.
he’s running his mouth all the time.
While that is true, i am not convinced of our legal system anymore after having a criminal as chancellor for 4 years.
Ah. So people just don’t care because it’s not enforced. Granted I don’t follow news much lately but I hadn’t heard about it.
It is more that the countries that used to build what could have become a rules based international order are now tearing it down because they find genocide and horrendous crimes against humanity more attractive.
Which countries are you referring to?
The best we can hope for is a country saying that they wont arrest him, to bait him into coming, but then actually arrest him when he does.
Yeah would be great if he was on vacation or something and they snatched him up. It is God’s will.
