ICC fake charges against Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant prove US must never recognize the court

The latest outrage from the International Criminal Court: arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

International Kangaroo Court is more like it, and one more reminder why the United States should never recognize the ICC.

The warrants come over utterly false charges of “crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024.”

That’s antisemite for “waging a humane and justified counterattack against genocidal butchers” — note the start date and that poisonous “at least.”

The charges refer specifically to “the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.”

Yet Gazans aren’t starving — the “expert” analysis that claimed to find famine turned out to be utterly false, as the United Nations itself later admitted. 

The analysis ignored all private-sector food deliveries, and a big chunk of aid from the World Food Programme. 

And the only ones murdering and persecuting and committing other inhumane acts (including looting a major aid caravan this week) in Gaza are the terrorist cadres of Hamas and their Iranian masters. 

Hamas uses all Gazans as an endless supply of human shields.

It hides terrorist fighters and ordnance beneath hospitals.

On Oct. 7, the group sent squads of killers across the border into Israel to murder, rape and kidnap civilians. 

But for the organs of institutionalized antisemitism like the ICC, the precise inversion of reality is the point.

This latest effort is simply another part of the international push spearheaded by Jew-hating high officials around the world to delegitimize Israel.

That kicked into overdrive after the Oct. 7 attacks, when Hamas atrocities generated a global outpouring of support not for the victims but for the perpetrators. 

Propaganda enabled by the Biden administration’s kowtowing to the Democratic Party’s left on the issue. 

And because Jew-hate is written into the DNA of the ICC, as it is written into the DNA of the United Nations, the haters will continue to lie and smear as long as Jews anywhere dare to defend themselves from people who want to see them wiped off the face of the Earth.
