(732 posts)119. "Germany won't arrest Netanyahu 'because of its Nazi history'"...but, Italy
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/11/22/germany-wont-arrest-netanyahu-nazi-history/
"Germany has suggested that it will not arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he travels to the country because of its Nazi history.
...
A number of European countries, including the UK, have said they will respect the ICC’s decision.
But a spokesman for Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, suggested the country would not carry out such an arrest due to its history and unique relationship with Israel.
...
Guido Crosetto, Italy’s defence minister, told RAI television on Thursday: “We would have to arrest them.”
He added that it was not a political choice but that Italy was bound as a member of the ICC to act on the court’s warrants."
Interesting.

OP
There's no question in my mind that he has committed war crimes and I hope he gets justice somehow

Wrong. 2006 when Hamas won. Then there hasn't been one since because Hamas got the result they wanted

No doubt: no 10/7, no Gaza war. I want both Bibi, AND Hamas leaders held responsible equally. I'm also thinking while...

Agreed, but the ICC will pursue him harder than the hamas terrorist that started this shit on Oct 7th.

Bibi's indictment makes the headline. . .hamas is an afterthought. Yes, the media isn't biased.

The same England that expelled Jews from their country for 300 years doesn't like Israel? I'm shocked.

You're welcome. The leader of The Democrats, Yair Golan, retired as an IDF Major-General. Good pick.

The interregnum period when Democrats were out of the WH probably had something to do with its retirement.
