so why israhell and murican still not dragged to Hague?

u/Jimbo922 May 19 '24

Because the enforcement arm of The Hague is the UNSC. The sole might behind the UNSC is the US. Other members need to step in. There are only 2 permanent UNSC powers that are not Western-aligned — Russia & China. One is entrenched right now, and the other isn’t likely to get involved unless israel bothers the Saudis, jeopardizing their economic interests.

Because the US by our own law would have to invade the Netherlands if a senior US official were to be put on trial in the Hague, and they know that. Also, the US far outspends every other country combined to NATO, which means the Netherlands would be on their own.

If they were to try to put a senior Israeli official on trial... Well, we've all seen how far the US government is willing to go to capitulate to the Israeli regime's demands.

can you point me to this law? i’ve never heard it

u/hydroxypcp May 19 '24

I think it's literally called The Hague Invasion Act

u/dewgetit May 20 '24

That law is a travesty and shows US is not interested in international rule of law, only in using the so-called international rule based order to control African and Eastern European countries.

Well they had to protect Bush and Cheney somehow

The US would declare war before letting an American or Israeli be charged by the ICC.

Because America accounts for more than half the defense and military budget for NATO. And Russia is right next to NATO.

Because the world isn't sunshine and rainbows

If the world were sunshine and rainbows, we wouldn't need the Hague.

Hamas is an elected government that chose war, and has not surrendered, nor sued for peace…

u/[deleted] May 20 '24

Dude. Get new talking points. You sound ignorant af. The thinnest justification for genocide I’ve ever seen. If you have a soul, and that’s a big if, you will live out your years in shame for defending a genocide.

Replace Hamas in that sentence with the government from any other conflict. That is how conflicts work between waring governments. No side ever just went”nah we good fam, we’ll walk on this one.” I don’t defend Israel at all but that’s how it works. Why isn’t Hamas throwing up their hands and saying “fine you win” if only for show and to spare the people of Palestine? It would put all pressure on the Israelis to stop. That they won’t shows a hell of a lot.

u/dewgetit May 20 '24

I think Hamas has called for a ceasefire.

2

u/Kman1121 May 20 '24

Hamas isn’t a government. Israel didn’t allow any form of statehood after Arafat signed the Oslo accords, hence the current conflicts. The Palestinians aren’t allowed a government when Israel has control over literally every aspect of their lands and peoples.

Hamas cooperated with the CIA director on a peace deal that would bring home the hostages and israel refused.

This is terrorism.

u/Darth_Groot28 May 19 '24

As an American... I do not support war..... America needs to stop helping Israel. The amount of civilian casualties is atrocious and the military leaders of Israel should be in prison.

u/ZeboSecurity May 19 '24

Sadly, they never will. Israel is the USs stronghold in the middle east and will never jeopardize that. Israel has spent decades lobbying, funding, and buying members of congress, and any positions they think could possibly pose a threat to them. They will politically (and in some cases, literally) assassinate anybody standing against them.

You also have defense contractors who have a vested interest in keeping weapon sales up, and peace does not help sales. They also spend vast amounts of money on "lobbying".

The US is a corrupt cesspool, built from the ground up to ensure money lines the pockets of the "elite" off the backs of the everyday man/woman. Anybody elected will fight tooth and nail to keep the status quo.
