The warning was direct, blunt and left no room for doubt. “We expect all ICC actions against the United States and our ally Israel – that is, all investigations and all arrest warrants – to be terminated,” said Reed Rubinstein, legal adviser at the US State Department, before delegates of the 125 member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Tuesday, July 8, at a meeting at United Nations headquarters in New York from July 7 to 9.

If the ICC arrest warrants for crimes against humanity and war crimes issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant on November 21, 2024, as well as ongoing investigations into crimes committed in the Gaza Strip and the settlement of Palestinian territory, are not dropped, “all options remain on the table,” he declared.

It’s honestly incredible how on point that whole meme was.

For the Republicans, it’s either this guy or a recently promoted conspiracy influencer with random frat bros as staff. The Democrats will still manage to lose.

(This is my impression as a Canadian)

Oh well, I guess it’s great the US is part of the ICC and has huge sway with what happens there. Like could you imagine trying to tell something you’re not even a part of what to do.

I’d be proud to personally sponsor a small metal cage (surplus from guantanamo) leg and arm shackles, and a few orange jumpsuits for this noble cause. Or several, if we can get gallant, netenyahu, smotrich, and ben-gvir too. Proper justice gets expensive.

I will add another grand if it is done in the next month or so.
