Elder of ZiyonThe arrest warrants are classified as ‘secret’, in order to protect witnesses and to safeguard the conduct of the investigations. However, the Chamber decided to release the information below since conduct similar to that addressed in the warrant of arrest appears to be ongoing. Moreover, the Chamber considers it to be in the interest of victims and their families that they are made aware of the warrants’ existence.
Even that justification is antisemitic. The court is stating that Israel would assassinate anyone who testified to its alleged crimes.
The details they do give are filled with easily provable lies and the outrageous implication that if they only had a little more evidence, they could also charge Netanyahu with "extermination."
Showing that they are liars requires only one proof. Here's what they say about medicines into Gaza:
The Chamber considered that there are reasonable grounds to believe that both individuals intentionally and knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival, including food, water, and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity, from at least 8 October 2023 to 20 May 2024.
UNRWA's database of incoming items into Gaza show that 1,409 trucks entered Gaza under the category of medicines, medical supplies and similar between October 8 and May 20. The total amount classified under those categories add up to 31,474 pallets of items. (Some of them were mixed with other supplies like food or beds but most of them were exclusively medical supplies.)
Here is a small sample from the last week of December.
Thousands of those pallets came through Kerem Shalom. Every one of these trucks was coordinated between Israel and the NGOs listed. It is ludicrous - and slanderous - to claim that the thousands of man-hours Israel worked to facilitate medicines (and food and other supplies) into Gaza are part of an effort to exterminate Gazans, or merely an effort to appease Western governments.
Moreover, we know that Hamas was confiscating the medical and other supplies that came from Egypt and then selling them to those in need, to bankroll its aggression.
While all of the ICC charges are disgusting lies, this is enough to prove that they know that they are lying. And as such the court loses any claims to have any interest in justice.
Quite the contrary. It allows its own antisemitism to override the truth. Which makes the ICC profoundly unjust and in fact a source of bigotry.
