Staff Reports
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is at it again, trying to stick its nose where it doesn’t belong! Can you believe it? They’ve actually gone and filed applications for arrest warrants against the leaders of Israel and Hamas. Talk about overstepping their boundaries!
First off, let’s talk about Israel. Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders are being targeted by the ICC for alleged war crimes. But come on, folks! Israel is a beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle East. They have the right to defend themselves against terrorists and protect their citizens. The ICC should be focusing on real human rights abusers, not wasting time on baseless accusations against Israel.
In March 2023, the ICC prosecutor announced an arrest warrant had already been *issued* against Putin. Today, he announces that he is simply "filing applications for warrants" against Israeli and Hamas leaders.

As for Hamas, the terrorist group that’s been raining down rockets on innocent Israeli civilians, the ICC has the audacity to consider issuing arrest warrants for their leaders, too. Seriously, this is the same organization that hides behind women and children, using them as human shields. Yet somehow, the ICC sees fit to go after Israeli and Hamas leaders in the same breath? It’s just plain ridiculous!
The timing of this move by the ICC is also suspect. The war between Israel and Hamas is still ongoing, and instead of trying to help bring about peace, the ICC is stirring the pot even more. It’s like they want to prolong the conflict and antagonize the parties involved. The ICC should be ashamed of themselves for adding fuel to the fire.
In the end, it’s clear that the ICC has an agenda, and it’s not one that benefits the cause of justice. By targeting Israel and Hamas, they’re playing politics and trying to score points with certain countries and organizations. But true justice isn’t about playing favorites – it’s about standing up for what’s right. And in this case, what’s right is standing in solidarity with Israel against terrorism and defending their right to self-defense.
