The Trump administration is slapping sanctions on four judges at the International Criminal Court over the tribunal’s investigation into alleged war crimes by Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza and in the West Bank.

    why are the US and Germany so hellbent on defending everything the Netanyahu regime does? As a german I understand and respect our past guilt, but that does not mean we should turn a blind eye to what is happening in Gaza. Just this week a german leftist politian was kicked out of the parliament, because she wore a shirt simply saying “Palestine”. Yet Israel badges are allowed. This is so fucking hypocritical, it makes me sick to my stomach.

      Germany it’s because of the holocaust (funny that it never translates into wanting to make a safe homeland for Roma people at all costs).

      US it’s because of Christian death cults wanting a new temple in Jerusalem because they think it will bring Jesus back.

    So childish.

    It’s funny how the article mentions that Russia punished the ICC when they issued an arrest for Putin. Now the US is behaving the same way,but for Netanyahu
