Good luck. I speak from experience - growing a channel is easier said than done.

Israel should tell the ICC any attempt to arrest Israeli officials will be treated as a declaration of war and we should tell the ICC that we support Israel in doing that

Who are the "we" that you are talking about?

I won't say that the polls are off/oversampling Trump voters/undersampling Biden voters but what I will say is that people have very short memories or literally care only about their personal finances if they want this man back at the helm.

Starting to wonder if it might just be best for Dems to take the L here, watch Trump fail to turn the clock back to 2019 and rack up a good few other scandals/controversies on the side as he always does, then lay the groundwork for some big BLUENAMIS in 2026 and 2028.

If it was a more reasonable Republican, I’d be ok with that scenario. But nothing is worth more Trump

This is getting stupid.
Yeah this is Eamon de Valera after Hitler's death levels of patheticness.

Of course Atlas jumped on me for attacking de Valera for that, lol.

     Encouraging to see this happen. I wonder if the recent pro-Hamas student protests revealing how out-of-touch universities have become with the general population played a role in encouraging them to roll back some of the features that helped create this situation.

Yeah, people are protesting Israel because le woke DEI lmao.

Have not at all been impressed by your contributions of late.

No , it’s that the driving factor behind DEI and these protests are similar which is how insanely left wing liberal arts programs have become .

You never were , so stop acting like you ever thought PIT was a good poster.
What he's saying is that the universities effectively encourage left wing activism like that kid who got accepted into Stanford after writing in his essay BLM 100 times over. Now unsurprisingly these same kids are behind the Pro Palestine protests.

Israel needs to immediately make clear that any country attempting to carry out these illegal warrants will be treated as if they attempted a kidnapping and hostage-taking of an Israeli official. And start sending Netanyahu around the world with a security force that can repel such an attempt.

Receiving countries can deny visas. Foreign citizens don't have a right to travel to other countries.

Such an action by the ICC I think would make Netanyahu persona non grata in most of Europe. They won't arrest him but that means to not having to arrest him and being exposed as hypocrites (a bunch of African states right now are salivating at the notion of European states being forced by law to arrest a foreign leader and choose not to), they just won't let him fly or travel there. The U.S. won't do anything to Netanyahu, but that's quite the long plane trip from Tel Aviv to New York and Netanyahu and his ministers would be even more effectively isolated internationally.

If Netanyahu flies to the U.S. and he is under ICC criminal charges and we choose to do nothing, then the U.S. can never say anything "ICC" again in any circumstance and have it be worth ten cents.

The official US position is that we have no obligations to the ICC and are further under no obligations to see the treaty's success. That's been more-or-less the American position since 2002. Hell, in 2021 Blinken made a statement about the State Department's "longstanding objection to the Court’s efforts to assert jurisdiction over personnel of non-States Parties such as the United States and Israel." So I doubt anyone would consider US statements on the ICC regarding Israelis to be relevant anyway.

The ICC can go piss up a rope.  Israel should immediately make clear that any attempt to enforce this will be treated as a declaration of war.  Hopefully, the rest of the world does the right thing and uses the warrants for Gallant and Netanyahu as toilet paper.

Probably wouldn't be a good idea for Israel to declare war on a NATO state creating an even bigger international crisis, most of alliance being Rome Statute signatories.

Bold of you to assume any of NATO country except Turkey would ever be dumb enough to try and enforce this.  And it’s not like Netanyahu or Gallant have any compelling reason to go to Turkey, so Turkey won’t get a chance to attempt to do so.

“The ICC is just bullying Israel! Why do they indict Hamas too!?!”
*ICC also indicts Hamas*
“Reeeeeeeeee”

The ICC also indicting three Hamas leaders means simply that.  Obviously, I have no issue with issuing arrest warrants for Haniyeh, Sinwar, and Deif, but that doesn’t mean the warrants for Gallant and Netanyahu aren’t nonsense that should be tossed in the garbage bin.

Also, pro-tip: Your attempts at drive by gotcha posts will work better if they’re based on something other than imaginary straw men.  
Hard to call it a strawman when the comment above is you saying it’s fine that the ICC indicted people I don’t like but how dare they do it to people I do

What the hell is going on? what next is nato going to declare a week for mourning if putin kick the bucket

To be fair, just because Putin dies doesn't mean the Ukraine war ends. Isn't the general consensus that whoever replaces Putin would be worse?

Do it!

Israel is well on its way to join North Korea, Iran, and Russia as a rogue state.

Might as well speed up the process.
