Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

alleged Gaza war crimes

""""""""""""alleged""""""""""""

Western journalists deserve the barbara-pit for their constant justifying of the genocide

[–] StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net 37 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

It's completely expected, but still so absurd and outrageous that the word alleged is used in this headline.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 8 points 7 hours ago

Only took them a year too

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 58 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It'd be really funny if they also issue a warrant for Biden and Blinken, and Trump hands them over (if only).

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 29 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's just nice to see that these institutions aren't completely under the empire's heel. I don't think Netanyahu will see justice until Israel has fallen, and even then he'll probably just chill out in Florida somewhere. But it's a little victory against my personal doomerism.

[–] darkcalling@hexbear.net 6 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

I wouldn't say they're not under the empire's heel. It's just some tools need to maintain better credibility than others. If a supposed human rights org were to lay down on this, they'd have zero credibility or use as a tool in future to make up a genocide in China or other bad country because people would rightly notice the problem. Anti-zionism has been growing even in liberal human rights circles for decades because it's just so obvious even the propagandized idealists can't quite ignore it and frankly it existing on some level is even useful to the zionists who desire above all else to drive all Jews to them.

There's no real impact here, they have no power to actually enforce this or use it to coerce the zionist entity to stop doing genocide while the US is shielding them. But doing it lends legitimacy to their charges against Putin and Russia and potentially other future enemies of the US/NATO which liberals will point to and say they're in fact prosecuting US friends and therefore MUST be impartial and you should trust they have no agenda but justice.

Compare to even people in the US government who have quit over saying that the zionist entity is doing human rights violations because the secretary of state quashed their findings to allow funding to continue. So these kinds of findings don't change things.

And you'll notice they equivocate by equating what Hamas does to what the zionist entity does, by issuing warrants for both in a wishy-washy, liberal "both sides bad, conflict is complicated history, blah, blah, bad actors both sides" thing that allows the larger colonial project of "isreal" to escape scrutiny or for people to reckon with the fact Hamas has a legal right to resist using violence by painting them with false atrocity propaganda thus leaving the whole thing "complicated" in the minds of many liberals and easily pawned off on one bad man theory for why the zionists are doing genocide which paints the path towards their redemption once he's out of power.

Rare proud Canadian moment: Trudeau said they'd follow ICC rulings.

[–] kittin@hexbear.net 22 points 10 hours ago

This means the ICC have ruled upon the “are Jewish people POC” topic

[–] Isopod_Activities@hexbear.net 56 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Lets see how Matt Miller smirks and lies his way through justifying why the United States needs to ignore the ICC ruling and continue giving Israel weapons and money.

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 51 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

They've cancelled the press conference for today. Guess they're not ready for the heat

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 19 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

they are gonna cancel them until jan 20th, (trump will just abolish them altogether).

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 21 points 10 hours ago

No, trump will choose Alex jones as press secretary biaoqing-copium

[–] Isopod_Activities@hexbear.net 34 points 12 hours ago

You really think they would have had some kind of canned response ready for this kind of thing.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 27 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The US didn't ratify the rome statue and does not recognize the ICC so I assume this will be very easily spun as "We don't recognize the ICC and never have"

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 hours ago

and will ignore again how much they supported the ICC warrant for Putin. only reconizie it when its politically useful,

[–] xXShadowXx@hexbear.net 104 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (5 children)

Netanyahu’s office denounced the chamber’s decision as “antisemitic”.

Get new material!

Actual antisemites solidarity Zionazis

Watering down the term to the point where it becomes a joke

[–] qaopjlll@hexbear.net 41 points 13 hours ago

Which in turn results in an increase of actual unjustified hatred of Judaism and Jewish people. Vicious cycle of zionism.

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 19 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Why would they? It still works for them unfortunately.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 23 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

it doesn't, but the consequences haven't caught up

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 17 points 13 hours ago

I'd be inclined to disagree given the Democrats staunch support of this idea and how popular they are with Jewish Americans but hopefully the consequences do end up catching up to them.

Hague invasion act letsgooo

[–] johnbrownn1917@hexbear.net 19 points 11 hours ago

Wilders will welcome them to save his favourite buddy.

[–] HoiPolloi@hexbear.net 31 points 11 hours ago

It's been a long time coming. I doubt we'll see either of them face trial, but it shows these international bodies can ignore the genocide.

I note the ICC still felt it had to 'both sides' the warrant by issuing on for Mohammed Deif as well. Pretty lame tbh.

lathe-of-heaven Bibi was never seen again, except for when the resistance found his body in a bunker under a hospital in TelAviv.
