#5 So, having a diplomatic passport, protected by international law, is not protection from international law. Interesting.

#6 The ICC does not have universal jurisdiction. Rather, it can only exercise its jurisdiction in cases involving crimes under international law committed on the territory of or by a national of a state party.

Israel is not a state party to the ICC. However, Palestine declared its accession to the ICC Statute on January 2, 2015. Against the backdrop of Palestine's disputed statehood, the question of whether Palestine has thus become a state party to the Statute harbors considerable potential for discussion.

According to a decision by Pre-Trial Chamber I of the ICC in 2021, the accession is effective in view of Palestine's status as a "non-member observer state" of the United Nations and the so-called "all states" clause contained in Art. 125 para. 3 of the ICC Statute. Palestine is therefore considered a state for the purposes of the ICC Statute (and only for these purposes). This means that acts committed on Palestinian territory (Gaza, West Bank, East Jerusalem) are subject to the jurisdiction of the ICC, including those committed by nationals of the non-party state of Israel. The same applies to acts committed by Palestinians, including those committed on the territory of Israel, which is not a party to the treaty.

However, the decision of the Pre-Trial Chamber was only made by a 2:1 majority at the time. It is not binding. Accordingly, the question of Palestine's status as a state party may once again become important in further proceedings.

#7 The accusation that Netanyahu and Gallant are suspected of having committed a crime against humanity is very far-reaching. This offence refers to the targeting of an identifiable group or community with a discriminatory motivation, namely for "political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural or religious reasons, reasons of sex [...] or other reasons universally recognized as impermissible under international law [...]". The prosecutor claims the Palestinian civilian population is attacked on the basis of their status as Palestinians. Yet the prosecutor refrains from giving any reasons in this regard in his statement.

Short version: Ideological nonsense.

#10 I might add: The ICC has no business with Israel because Israel is a democracy (the only one in the Middle East) with a functioning judiciary that would prosecute war crimes committed by Israelis if there were any. And of course countries must be given due time to do that, and certainly not in the middle of a war.

The ICC was meant to prosecute war crimes that are not prosecuted nationally. Later. Much later.

This is all nonsense. Of course the current German government won't say so. And I despise them for this cowardice.

So much easier to say: Oh, we just follow international law. The correct answer would be to leave the jurisdiction of the ICC because it's become an ideological tool. Or always has been.

#11 Answer is simple, declare the ICC a terrorist organization, kill off all the so called judges and prosecutors. MAKE IT PERSONAL. These twits need to learn real consequences for being minions of evil.
