The US is working to prevent the issuance of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the attack on Gaza, Israeli media has reported.
According to the news site Walla, Netanyahu is leading a “non-stop push over the telephone” to prevent an arrest warrant being issued against him by the ICC, particularly communicating with the White House.
The Israeli newspaper Maariv has reported that Netanyahu is “frightened and unusually stressed” by the possibility of an imminent arrest warrant.
Sources close to the paper believe that the arrest warrants are only a matter of time.
The paper reported that Defence Minister Yoav Galant and Chief of Staff Major-General Herzi Halevi could also be served with warrants. ⠀
An internal State Department memo reviewed by Reuters on Saturday revealed senior US officials have advised Secretary of State Antony Blinken that they do not find “credible or reliable” Israel’s assurances that it is using US-supplied weapons in accordance with international humanitarian law.
Other officials upheld support for Israel’s representation.
Under a National Security Memorandum issued by President Joe Biden in February, Blinken must report to Congress by 8 May on whether he finds credible Israel’s assurances that its use of US weapons does not violate US or international law.
By 24 March, at least seven State Department bureaus had sent in their contributions to an initial “options memo” to Blinken. Parts of the memo, which has not been previously reported, were classified.
The submissions to the memo provide the most extensive picture to date of the divisions inside the State Department over whether Israel might be violating international humanitarian law in Gaza.
This is actually literally antisemitic. Israel does not control the US or its politicians, it is simply in the interest of christian fascists and imperialists and settler colonialism and capitalism to provide unending support for a genocidal fascist state.
But to say stupid shit like “United States of Israel” just belies your own bigotry and small mindedness and total lack of historical or political education.
Israel =/= Jewish People everywhere
But believing the nation responsible for the #1 spyware has nothing to do with the US leaders choosing dumb plans shouldn’t be ignored
That, AND Genojoe is >$5M richer from this shit (Edit: $5M not $5 lol)
Bruh I just said that it is anti-Semitic to say that Israel controls the US.
It is the opposite.
You need to chill the fuck out and stop carrying water for Nazis if you agree with the person I was dunking on.
Conflating Israel with Judaism is antisemitic. Reducing antisemitism to just hatred of Jews is also antisemitic. Palestinians are direct descendant of ancient Canaanites including Israelites and Judeans.

While of course true, I didn’t see Israel & Judaism getting conflated. Maybe I got whooshed?

This is seldom said. Ask 20 people on the street who counts as “Semitic” and you’ll get 10 different answers, none of which are academic definitions 😑 Seldom are the indigenous Christians & Muslims included, and often are the European settlers with little-to-no genetic connection included. And the Zionists propagate and weaponize the confusion.
