As the International Court of Justice takes its next steps on investigating and prosecuting war crimes in Israel’s war on Gaza, the top expert on Palestine at the United Nations is pushing for even more international accountability.
In a wide-ranging exclusive interview with The Intercept, U.N. special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese, called for top European Union officials — including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen — to face charges of complicity in war crimes over their support for Israel during its 18-month assault on Gaza.
“The fact that the two highest figures of the EU continue business as usual engagements with Israel is beyond deplorable,” Albanese said. “I’m not someone who says, ‘History will judge them’ — they will have to be judged before then. And they will have to understand that immunity cannot equate with impunity.”
Wow, if these comments are any indication Europeans are fucking cooked. Not everything you don’t like is Russian propaganda, folks.
Who does this benefit?
Uh… Gaza, hopefully?
yeah, right. hopefully antifascists would fight actual fascists committing the war crimes daily like bibi and “trump gaza” before anyone else, but that’s too hard :/ fascists are too scary and hard to reach.
Yeah so the list of actual fascists who should be fought includes people who aid and abet those fascists, like Joe Biden and von der Leyen. The oppression of Palestinians for decades had been perpetrated by those "anyone else"s you’re talking about before more obvious fascists like Bibi took power.
You do realize there’s already an ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu right?
ok, good luck with that, if all goes according to your stupid plan, maybe you’ll arrest everyone but the fascists and then Gaza will be free. Pathetic.
Does it feel good talking to yourself and pretending you’re making sense? God at least fucking read what you’re responding to before you make a fool of yourself.
The amount of people in this thread who justify the EU sending weapons to Israel and supporting Israel is concerning
It goes beyond concerning; threads like this honestly make me lose faith in European democracy. If the European Fediverse and American Fediverse are about equally far to the left of their respective centers (which to be fair is an unfounded hypothesis) then Europe is absolutely not equipped to fight fascism.
