U.S. Congressman Threatens ICC Over Netanyahu

Did a sitting U.S. congressman really threaten

the International Criminal Court just to keep

Benjamin Netanyahu out of prison?

The answer, of course, is yes.

Congressman Richie Tour has warned the ICC

that if they moved forward with an arrest warrant

against Netanyahu for war crimes,

including using starvation as a method of warfare

and crimes against humanity,

the United States would punish the court,

instead of letting justice take its course.

Torrez used his power in Congress

to shield a foreign leader from facing accountability

for the deliberate starvation of civilians and other atrocities in Gaza.

This isn't just condoning Israel's actions.

The United States government is actively serving as an accessory,

protecting Israeli officials from international law while

Americans pay for it.

The United States has become Israel's means

for escaping accountability,

and it allows them to act with impunity.

We use our veto power to block any ceasefire

they oppose,

protect their officials from international accountability,

and allow Israeli criminals to escape justice by

simply fleeing back to Israel.
