    This spokesperson has a PhD in lying! he should be held accountable for his part in this genocide

    A British Israeli "settler" spokesman. This is so painful.

    Sunak should be investigated by ICC for being complicit in genocide

    The day I see Netanyahu, 'The Butcher of Gaza', on trial at the ICC in The Hague, then convicted and imprisoned, I'm throwing a party.

    So what if they're democratically elected? How does that by some divine right make everything they do free of criticism or crime?

    Apparently 30k Hamas eating food meant for 2million Gazans

    Israel: *kills an unthinkable amount of civilians* ICC: "You're in trouble" Israel: "Racist"

    Netanyahu defending himself here like it's legit. You can defend yourself in a court of law like Radovan Karadzic did, mate.

    You are questioning a murderer and expect him to plead guilty in advance. His days are over in the ICC.

    Seek an arrest warrant for Itamar Ben-Gvir too.
