A few days after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leaders, including Yahya Sinwar, Germany has said it will arrest Netanyahu if he enters the country.
This is funny because the ICC is a feckless organization that has no jurisdiction in Israel (or the U.S., for what it's worth).
But Germany's gotta Germany, apparently.
As an aside: what's up with that picture? It makes Netanyahu look yellow, like he's got jaundice. Egads.
Germany will arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the country amid allegations of war crimes by the International Criminal Court, a spokesperson has confirmed.
Steffen Hebestreit, a spokesperson for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, confirmed on Wednesday the country would 'abide by the law' and arrest the under-fire Israeli leader should he visit the EU nation.
This comes after British prosecutor Karim Khan announced on Monday that he is seeking warrants for Netanyahu, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three Hamas terror chiefs including Yahya Sinwar, the ruler in Gaza who masterminded October 7.
Just so we're clear: Hamas can terrorize Israel, and Israel is the one who is blamed for it.
Stunning hypocrisy.
Pretty much.
Yeah, they really should.
You'd think they'd have learned after WWII.
Guess not.
We're not shocked.
Nope.
Yes, they are. So are Spain, Norway, and Ireland.
Lots of shame.
If they tolerate what Hamas did in Israel, they'll tolerate it at home, too.
1938, that's where.
Completely lost.
Very unoriginal.
