An Israeli attack on Beit Lahiya, a town in northern Gaza, killed at least 73 Palestinians on Saturday evening, according to the enclave's government media office.

More than 100 others were wounded and several people missing.

Israeli air strikes targeted a multi-floor building and damaged a number of nearby houses, medics in the Gaza Strip reported.

The government media office said that Israeli forces had bombed overcrowded residential areas in Beit Lahiya, adding that women and children were amongst the casualties.

Where is Netanyahu's arrest warrant for fucks sake?

Biden blocked it and told us it would interfere with his ceasefire deal that was just days away. But that was months ago and turns out to have been another lie.

Mango Mussolini said President Biden was too easy on Israel.

Next to the peace deal and the stop order for arms shipments.

take heart, Biden says he is very concerned. Harris too. Any day now he's going to stop the shipments and start poking netenyahu forcefully in the chest, screaming in his face, making threats.

/s. I'm just messing with you.

Doesn't he literally have one from the ICC? And the US Govt sanctioned the ICC over it rather than help enforce it?

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago

They opened the process up for "comments and objections". Israels allies like Germany flooded the court with "comments and objections" that have to be worked through, before deciding on the warrant.

I don't think Germans should be able to play the "hey listen to us we're genocide experts" card at the UN.

Its super antisemitic of them to shout over the voices of Jews crying "never again" as they witness the genocide in Palestine unfold.

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

At the ICC it is not about genocide though. It is about specific war crimes. The "objection" by Germany was also not about qualifying what happened, but something procedural along the lines of saying there shouldn't be a prosecution while there still is war. Which of course is equally absurd.

Does he? I think they're still doing procedures or some shit.

[-] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 17 points 2 days ago

Holy crap, you're right

However the request for the warrants must yet be approved by ICC judges.

They really need to speed things up...

Plus that means the US sanctioned the ICC for just requesting an arrest warrant

Exactly. To be precise they sanctioned the prosecutor who requested the warrant IIRC.
