You and What Army, ICC?

The same day the Biden administration and European Union offered their condolences over the death of Iran’s Ebrahim Raisi, the “Butcher of Tehran,” the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan, sought the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli war council members over imaginary war crimes.

The first question we need to ask is: Karim Khan and what army?...

Placing blame on this one man falls in line with the American left’s rhetoric about Israel’s democratically elected unity government. Using Netanyahu as a strawman is a politically expedient way to attack Israel’s democracy. The entire point of the ICC indictments is to further isolate Israel and reward Hamas. (Israel was about to host Khan to explain their decision making process, but the “prosecutor” was not interested.)

In this regard, the real tell is that the alleged crimes cover actions in both the “territory of Israel” and the “State of Palestine.”

It turned out to be too absurd even for Joe Biden and Antony Blinken. But the ICC effort has exposed virulent anti-Semitism by governing elites in the West, notably France and Belgium, both of which put out statements supporting Khan and the ICC after the announcement. The rot goes deeper than just the NGOs and the unaccountable multilateral orgs.
