The ICC and The Geopolitics of Race
Read on..
Not unless you’re living under the rock, you will have heard and read of the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defence minister and the leader of Hamas.
And judging by the reaction of prominent American politicians and their minions in Europe, the ICC certainly did ruffle a few feathers.
It wasn’t too long ago that the likes of Bernard-Henri Levi and Senator Lindsey Graham were hailing the very same body for issuing arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin, when he dared to invade Ukraine.
So what’s changed in such a short space of time?
Viewed through the lens of aggressor and victim, Putin and Netanyahu are guilty of the same crimes of murdering innocent folk, aren’t they?
Well, not according to the spineless Republican senator from South Carolina.
Graham was on Fox News, warning allies nations —Germany, France and the United Kingdom — that they will be punished and crushed with sanctions, if they dared to follow through with the arrest of the genocidal Israeli Prime Minister.
