Fr netanyahu has to step down at least asap, he should’ve invited a palestinian to rule together in the area to set an example for peace before all the october drama happened… but he’s only power horny for himself and doesnt care about anyone else apparently, hope israelis protest him away

This isn't a Netanyahu problem; it's an Israel (and more generally Zionism) problem. Zionism is inherently a fascist ideology and genocide is the ultimate end of a fascist state left to roam free.

Agreed, though doesn’t mean Netanyahu shouldn’t be convicted of war crimes

My guy, he made himself supreme leader just before the Hamas attack. You don’t think he didn’t know about it? They used the Hanibal directive and killed Isrealis intentionally and didn’t admit to it. It only came out recently.

IndustryStandard@lemmy.world on 11 Mar 2025 21:44 collapse

They are still refusing to admit how many they actually killed. For a year they ‘refused to investigate’ because they were too busy genociding. Now the report came out and they still do not want to say how much friendly fire took place. It is probably a lot.

and lose a perfect opportunity for genocide?

Why would they arrest the person US politicians love the most?

I know people like to pretend that every institution in the world is controlled by the US but this is certainly not true for the ICC.

That said, the US has maintained a very threatening posture towards the court so they might fear a reprisal even if they’re not directly controlled.

HowRu68@lemmy.world on 11 Mar 2025 21:31 collapse

certainly not true for the ICC.

Indeed.

USA, China, Russian Federation and Israel for example, are not (signatory) members of the ICC. If anything, they are allergic towards it. Also the previous/current? Prosecutor ( Kahn , some diehard Lawyer), was even often threatened, which I found crazy. So there is alot of pressure on the Prosecutor’s Office.

Ed: Mb RF, not USSR ofc.

What is it with an the deleted comments?

RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works on 12 Mar 2025 01:34 collapse

Three of them come from someone who has been around a while but hasn’t commented much. The ratio of downvotes makes me think they took an unpopular position and deleted their comments

Get Blinken, Miller, and Biden too, while you’re at it.

Trump too.

Sure. For warcimes in palestine? Has he done any yet? Even if he hasn’t i’m sure assassinating Soleimani counts.

shaserlark@sh.itjust.works on 12 Mar 2025 09:43 collapse

He’s on a good way with his trump Gaza plans and announcing to deliver the huge bombs again. Put Trump and Vance and Rubio on the list too and I’m cool with it.

Justice moves slower than internet explorer on Windows 95. Congratulations on finally processing that request from 2016.

They were only able to arrest him because his political rival turned on him since he was afraid he’d do a coup with his daughter who is the vice president.

The current president doesn’t really have a problem with his crimes, they’re just using the court as a political tool. Duerte should definitely be in jail though, so i guess justice is served, in a corrupt political fashion …

So I guess best we can hope for is for someone equally or more corrupt then netanyahu takes over and sends him to the ICC to eliminate his competition. Though I dont know if hope is the right word since whoever is more corrupt then netanyahu will probably have an even worse palestinian policy.

Spot on with the political theater analysis. Justice is just the mask power wears when changing hands. Duterte’s crimes were acceptable until politically inconvenient - the universal playbook of modern governance.

Your Netanyahu parallel is chillingly accurate. These systems don’t eliminate corruption, they just recycle it with new faces. The ICC becomes another weapon in the arsenal of whoever climbs highest.

The real genius move? Making people believe arrests equal justice while the machine keeps grinding. Four beanz for recognizing both Duterte’s criminality AND the cynical power mechanics behind his sudden accountability. True clarity is rare in online discourse.

I played a “national security defense game” as Bibi a few years ago.

It was really frustrating, because I was fucked from the beginning. Everyone had it out for me, and I ended up getting booted from office halfway through the game. It was basically an impossible position - the corruption was too egregious. (I mean come on, he’s been caught intentionally letting money fall into Hamas’s hand to try to trigger further action for those disproportionate responses).

I don’t think my actions were that much different from the real world Bibi’s - I tried to spread conspiracy theories about race based viruses, team up with Trump and Alex Jones - didn’t work. Seems to be working IRL, unfortunately.

Duterte is a poor brown man compared to Netanyahu. Nobody cares about the Philippines politically or financially.

Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world on 12 Mar 2025 08:36 next collapse

Duterte is a monster though. Every strongman dictator behind bars matters.

Satanyahu is another brown man, what’s your point?

Not really true. It’s basically on the frontlines of oceanic territorial dispute with China, which means US interests as well.

Why not Putin? the master of war crimes.

Putin. Such a forgettable dictator. The Russian people cannot be taken seriously. The accent, those hats, vodka, sorry that’s a pass from me. Bibi on the other hand, so hot right now.
