ICC helps colonialists and attacks oppressed indigenous freedom fighters!Hamas’s Oct. 7 crimes 'shock the conscience of humanity': ICC prosecutor
Story by National Post Wire Services • 12h
Hamas’s brutal slaughter of more than 1,200 people in Israel on Oct. 7 represents “some of the most serious international crimes that shock the conscience of humanity,” International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan said on Sunday as he concluded a visit to the Jewish state.
Khan traveled to Israel at the request of families whose loved ones were murdered or taken hostage by terrorist groups based in the Gaza Strip, the prosecutor announced in a blog post on Sunday. Jerusalem does not recognize the court’s jurisdiction over the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
“In both Kibbutz Beeri and Kibbutz Kfar Azza , as well as at the site of the Nova Music Festival in Re’im, I witnessed scenes of calculated cruelty,” wrote Khan, vowing to work in partnership with victims’ families “as part of our ongoing work to hold those responsible to account.”
He called for the “immediate and unconditional” release of the estimated 137 hostages who remain in Hamas captivity, citing in particular “the egregious breach of fundamental principles of humanity through the taking and continued holding of children .”
- I watched Hamas hack innocents to death. The worst part was their glee
- Hamas's top leaders are worth billions. Here's how they continue to grow rich
Commenting on Israel’s military operation against Hamas terrorists in Gaza, Khan noted that the Israel Defense Forces “has trained lawyers who advise commanders and a robust system intended to ensure compliance with international humanitarian law.
“Conflict in densely populated areas where fighters are alleged to be unlawfully embedded in the civilian population is inherently complex, but international humanitarian must still apply and the Israeli military knows the law that must be applied,” said the prosecutor.
“As I have repeatedly emphasised, civilians must have access to basic food, water and desperately needed medical supplies, without further delay, and at pace and at scale. And when such aid arrives, it must not be diverted or misused by Hamas,” the blog post continued.
During a meeting with Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah, Khan discussed ways to “deepen our cooperation under the Rome Statute,” the ICC’s founding charter. The prosecutor said he also spoke with “victims and their families from the West Bank and Gaza.”
The P.A. in 2015 declared its acceptance of the jurisdiction of the ICC over alleged crimes committed by Israel. However, Israel does not recognize ICC jurisdiction over the so-called “situation in Palestine.”
The U.S. has likewise voiced strong objections to the Palestinians’ joining the International Criminal Court, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken previously expressing “serious concerns about the ICC’s attempts to exercise its jurisdiction over Israeli personnel.”
Have you noticed that with all this support for Palestine from around the world, not one single country has lifted a finger on their behalf. They have no conviction to do anything concrete.
TALK IS CHEAP.
Khan is not very well respected, true.
How is the genocide going?
Looks like Israel is destroying all food production in Gaza.
Otherwise, things are just as they always were
And looks like we found a tinder match for you.
You are bragging that because the US is backing your genocide they've been able to stop UN and ICC actions?
Now you want other countries to not talk and take up violent action because 'talk is cheap'?
sweet
The world is against zionism now. Zionism is terrorism. Zionism is genocide. Zionism is apartheid.
You've only got a handful of rich and connected people keeping it going for now.
ICRC makes a statement.
Amnesty makes a statement.
Haaretz investigates and finds the oct 7 claims false.
Protests continue.
And Israel keeps killing children.

Nice propaganda tweets funded by jew haters...don't worry...Hamas will be gone soon...the pain and suffering of palestinians will be over...
Your world gets smaller and smaller every day, rich.
When you start calling the Red Cross and Amnesty 'Jew haters' it only reflects on you.
You're at the point where you claim anyone who says this is wrong is now a 'Jew hater' to you.
again, Hamas brought this to the palestinians...and you don't have a problem with them doing it...if you do a bit more digging, you'd know who's funding amnesty...
Yes I agree...doctors shouldn't operate or perform any surgery without sufficient power so Hamas shouldn't use power for charging phones and camcorders....those aren't important...
