State Dept Sanctions Jew And America Hating ICC Judges

No longer will the US tolerate unhinged international judges going after US troops and Israel/Jews while backing Islamic terrorist organizations, especially not when these EU judges live under the very freedom the US has provided

US sanctions International Criminal Court judges linked to Israel, Afghanistan probes

The U.S. sanctioned four International Criminal Court judges on Thursday, ratcheting up Trump administration efforts to punish the body for investigations it considers hostile.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the measures in a statement that cited both the court’s probe of alleged war crimes by U.S. troops in Afghanistan and its issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

“These four individuals have actively engaged in the ICC’s illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America or our close ally, Israel,” Rubio said.

“The ICC is politicized and falsely claims unfettered discretion to investigate, charge, and prosecute nationals of the United States and our allies,” he said. “This dangerous assertion and abuse of power infringes upon the sovereignty and national security of the United States and our allies, including Israel.”

The U.S. move creates friction between the U.S. and the Netherlands ahead of the NATO summit later this month in the Hague, where the international court is based. It will be up to the European Union to decide whether to use its blocking statute to protect European businesses and individuals from American sanctions that it deems abusive or unreasonable.

They can caterwaul all they want: they are in no position to make demands. America will not tolerate this anymore.

Neither the U.S. nor Israel is a member of the ICC and they do not recognize its jurisdiction. Trump also targeted the ICC with sanctions during his first term to protest the court’s probes into Israel and alleged U.S. war crimes in Afghanistan. Former President Joe Biden rescinded those sanctions in 2021 and his government shared evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine with the tribunal.

These judges hate Israel and Jews, like so many of the Elites do. The warrants they put on Hamas leaders had no real teeth, but, they really want to arrest Netanyahu and shut down Israel in favor of the Palestinians, who, by the way, would be happy to slit the throats of these same judges as infidels.
