Is Keir Starmer Really Going To Arrest Benjamin Netanyahu?

[Khandro]

'Benjamin Netanyahu faces arrest if he enters Britain. That is the welcome the Israeli leader will receive should he fancy another trip to the UK anytime soon. It comes after the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister, along with former Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant and Mohammed Deif of Hamas, who is thought to be already dead. Justifying the decision to issue warrants for the two Israeli politicians, the court said they shared criminal responsibility for ‘the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.’

Downing Street has confirmed that it will respect the ICC’s decision once the UK domestic process had taken place

In response, the Israeli government has – unsurprisingly – heavily criticised the judgment. The United States (which is not an ICC member) has also ‘fundamentally’ rejected the court’s decision – stating that the ICC has no ‘jurisdiction over this matter’. The incoming Trump administration has warned of a ‘strong response to the antisemitic bias of the ICC and UN come January’ when Trump takes office.

In contrast, Downing Street has confirmed that it will respect the ICC’s decision once the UK domestic process had taken place. This is thought to reference the ratification of the warrant by a UK court. Starmer’s spokesman said the UK government would comply with its legal obligations but added there was no ‘moral equivalence’ between Israel and Hamas.'

The ICC, Ayatollahs without beards. 🙄

untitled: "The court does have jurisdiction khandro. you are just upset because you agree with genocide and do not wish for it to be impeded. " - stop it with the hysterics, collateral damage whilst hunting vermin is not "genocide". You are one of the lefties I have some respect for but calling this genocide is not worthy of you. Genocide is what the nazis attempted in WW2.

This is a preposterous allegation. The fact is that Israel in the form of the IDF is, as it said it would do at the outset, attacking HAMAS, not Arabs, not Muslims. It is therefore stupid and inaccurate to call it genocide.

Genocide though, is exactly what HAMAS and many adherents of Islam are dedicated to doing to Jews, for no other reason than they are Jews:

Kill them wherever you come upon them..

Surah Al-Baqarah - 191

That is genocide !!

Untitled, I defy you to find anywhere in the history of Judaism an example of Jews - despite what they have had to suffer themselves, an example of genocide. 

In fact in nearly 4,000 years of historical development, the Jewish people and their religion have displayed a remarkable adaptability and continuity. 

In their encounter with the great civilizations, from ancient Babylonia and Egypt to Western Christendom and modern secular culture, they have assimilated foreign elements and integrated them into their own social and religious systems, thus maintaining an unbroken religious and cultural tradition. 

Furthermore, each period of Jewish history has left behind it a specific element of a Judaic heritage that continued to influence subsequent developments, so that the total Jewish heritage at any given time is a combination of all these successive elements along with whatever adjustments and accretions have occurred in each new age.
