God is not mocked.
So much bad karma. More than 44,000 Palestinians killed and he is now crying “antisemitism”.
These are the 124 countries that are on the lookout to arrest him
Unlike that South African diplomat in Lethal Weapon 2, he will no longer be able to claim “diplomatic immunity”.

Dr. Edward Kissi defines Genocide
Does Netanyahu subscribe to “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”?
The ICC issues a long overdue arrest warrant for the arrest of Netanyahu and what’s his reaction? He starts crying that he has done nothing wrong and that it’s an anti-Semitic arrest warrant.
By now there must be at least a few erudite theses on the uses, misuses, and abuses of the term “anti-Semitism” as a kind of all-purpose iron dome that should protect a miscreant like him from facing justice.
Torah : Justice, justice shall you pursue
And the corruption charges piled up against Netanyahu and awaiting judgement, are they also “anti-Semitic”?
What about Israeli politicians convicted of crimes ?
Since God blessed Abraham there have been no Jewish gangsters?
As for the other one, Gallant, well, in Somebody Blew Up America, Amiri Baraka asks
“Who you know ever
Seen God?
But everybody seen
The Devil”
You know that Jesus said, “ If you have seen me, you have seen the Father”, you’ve listened to Robert Johnson's Me and the Devil was walkin' side by side and you’ve seen Gallant, the right-hand man of Netanyahu who Erdogan has identified as “the butcher of Gaza". Netanyahu and Gallant are not angels. What else can be said?
Maybe Shakespeare was a Jew after all, or maybe he wasn’t when he spoke through Shylock that indeed a Jew is not that different from the rest of God’s creatures.
“I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.”

Indeed, “He is BFF to both Biden and Trump.”
#Netanyahu faces arrest if he travels to UK
“The decision of the court has to be respected and implemented,” the European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell Fontelles, told reporters in Amman, Jordan. “This decision is a binding decision on all state parties of the court, which includes all members of the European Union.”
(https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/world/middleeast/icc-netanyahu-israel-gaza-war.html
When it comes to Netanyahu versus corruption I’m optimistic that corruption will win and that’s why he wants to delay having to testify in his own corruption trial, and if possible he would prefer to avoid having to testify in his own corruption trial altogether, for the same reason that he wants to avoid having to be tried for the more serious charges of war crimes and other crimes against humanity at the ICC at the Hague.
If he really believed that he was “Innocent” and that there was not overwhelming evidence to the contrary then he would take this piece of advice - surrender to the ICC and get it done with in the certain knowledge that that he is innocent, “ The Lord is my Shepherd” etc, and he will be found “Not Guilty” by a unanimous verdict.
At this stage what we find at Israel National News and The Jerusalem Post is a very defiant Netanyahu and his cohorts actually condemning the ICC (the height of arrogance)
The question is, what happens when an Israeli court finds him guilty of the charges he is facing ?
I think that if he doesn’t succeed in negotiating the release of the remaining Israeli hostages, then the next couple of mega-demonstrations will sweep him out of office….
and then what?

Michael Afolayan :
Full list of 124 countries that must arrest Netanyahu for the ICC
“Over 90% of those convicted and imprisoned by ICC are Africans with no clouts.”?
I’m afraid that the poetic instinct which can’t resist would like to reword that sentence Sir:
Over 90% of those convicted and imprisoned by ICC are Africans like Chidi, Africans without any snout.
Here it is : The ICC convictions list
And here is all the sad news from your namesake Michael, Michael Winiarski in this morning’s Dagen Nyheter :
Michael Winiarski: ICC lives dangerously after the arrest warrant against Israel's leader
Updated yesterday 21:09 Published yesterday 17:55

The International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu for suspected war crimes is a heavy blow to Israel. The country's leaders are placed in the same category as the terrorist group Hamas. But there is concern in The Hague that US sanctions against the ICC could mean the end of the court.
This is a commenting text. The writer is responsible for analysis and positions in the text.

The arrest warrant against Israel's prime minister and former defense minister has several immediate consequences. The first is that Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant cannot visit the 123 countries that are part of the ICC without risking arrest.
The court's decision also divides the world community. Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp declared that Netanyahu will be arrested if he visits the country.
The EU's foreign representative Josep Borrell also backs the ICC decision, which he claims "must be respected and applied".
The Israeli government's allies in the world, on the other hand, oppose the search. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said immediately after the announcement from The Hague that he intends to invite Netanyahu to Hungary and that he does not intend to follow the order to arrest him. This despite the fact that Hungary is one of the countries that has supported the Rome Statute that established the ICC just over 20 years ago. According to the Rome Statute, all member states are obliged to arrest persons wanted by the ICC who set foot in their country.

That provision prevented Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is wanted by the ICC for war crimes in Ukraine, last year from taking the risk of traveling to South Africa to attend the Brics summit.
Considerably more important is the attitude of the United States, despite the fact that the country does not belong to the Criminal Court. President Joe Biden condemned the ICC's decision: “We fundamentally reject the court's decision. There is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas," the White House press secretary explained.
The reaction seems to open to the US being accused of double standards. When the ICC in March 2023 issued an arrest warrant against Putin, the tone of Biden was only positive.
The reaction seems to open to the US being accused of double standards. When the ICC in March 2023 issued an arrest warrant against Putin, the tone of Biden was only positive. In addition, the US cooperated with the ICC in the Ukraine investigation despite the fact that the US is not a party to the Rome Statute.
Even more serious is the threat of drastic sanctions against the ICC from the US side. Already in May, when the ICC's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, requested that an arrest warrant be issued against Netanyahu , Gallant and three Hamas leaders, several Republican politicians launched a violent counterattack against the court. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed in June – with the support of 203 Republicans and 42 Democrats – a bill to impose sanctions on the ICC.

The sanctions could mean that ICC officials involved in prosecutions of "US allies" could be stripped of their US visas and have their bank accounts blocked. In practice, this can mean such things as a travel ban, that wages cannot be paid and that insurance does not apply.
If the threat of sanctions against the ICC and its associates is realized, many in The Hague fear that the court cannot function and thus will not survive. Among the nearly 1,000 employees from 100 countries who are employed by the ICC, there is therefore great uncertainty about the future.
That concern is confirmed by an editorial in the conservative Wall Street Journal: "Cutting off the ICC and, say, its 100 top officials from the US banking system via sanctions — with all that means for European bank accounts as well — could cripple the court."
In order for the law to come into force, the Senate must pass it. Currently, the Senate has a Democratic majority, and it is unclear whether the bill will come up for consideration before the end of the year.

But from January, the Republicans also gain control of the Senate. Then there is nothing to prevent the law from being passed, and when Donald Trump takes office as president on January 20, he will not hesitate to sign it.
If the issue is stalled in Congress for any reason, the president can also impose sanctions through executive orders.
The upcoming sanctions decision seems to be well prepared. Mike Waltz, whom Trump has nominated as national security adviser, says he is ready to act: “The ICC has no credibility. Israel has lawfully defended its people from genocidal terrorists. One can expect a strong response to the anti-Semitic prejudices of the ICC and the UN in January".
Incoming Republican Majority Leader John Thune says he intends to try to get outgoing Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer to hold a vote on the law as soon as possible: "Unless the ICC and its prosecutors change their outrageous and illegal actions... the Senate must immediately pass the law."
Lindsey Graham, Republican US Senator, wants to punish those who cooperate with the ICC in the investigation against Israel's leader. Photo: Allison Robbert/AFP
His colleague, Senator Lindsey Graham, writes on X that he intends to present another law that is even more far-reaching. Also persons and countries that "assist and assist the ICC in harming the security of the United States" should be able to be sanctioned.
This means that witnesses called by the court, such as human rights activists who share information about suspected Israeli war crimes with the ICC, can be punished. But also representatives of other states.
Facts: ICC arrest warrantThe ICC's warrants are related to the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack and Israel's military response in Gaza.
● The suspicions against Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza (not genocide) are that they have "killed, caused extermination, used starvation as a weapon of war, including preventing humanitarian aid shipments, and knowingly having aimed at civilians".
According to the ICC's Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, these crimes have been part of a "systematic attack on the Palestinian civilian population", and they continue to this day: "Israel has deliberately and systematically deprived the civilian population of Gaza of what is indispensable for human survival".
● The war crimes for which Hamas military leader Muhammad Deif is suspected relate to what happened during the attack into Israel on October 7 and after: murder of hundreds of civilians, hostage-taking, rape and other sexual violence and cruel treatment of prisoners. Karim Khan also wanted to call for two other Hamas leaders, Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh, but they have been killed by Israel. According to Israel, Muhammad Deif is also no longer alive, but the ICC has not been able to confirm this.

Exactly as the Mullahs in Iran are praying
Except that instead of what you’re saying
“May the US and Israel be defeated in this most lewd inhumanity.”
They’re praying, “Inshallah, may the Great & the little Satan be defeated in their depravity”
Amin.

What’s not yet clear is exactly to what extent the Obama-Biden-Harris will be different from the incoming troika of Trump-Vance-Rubio
With Trump’s UN Ambassador Elise Stefanik already accusing the UN of “entrenched antisemitic bias", in addition to sanctions on the ICC she might soon be calling for sanctions , boycott and defunding of the UN…
BTW, if Netanyahu were to set foot in Nigeria would he be arrested?
Of course, the last place that he would ever dream of travelling to is South Africa.

When the Holocaust is referenced it is never relativized.
It is appreciated as the supremely unique inhumanity it is.
Why should the Israeli creation of a Palestinian Holocaust be relativized?
Israel and the US will go down in historical infamy for this supreme horror.

The infantile imagination has got hold of some of the childlike pint pot poets who see no irony in unfeeling AI machines telling them how great, wonderful and sensitive they are, oblivious of Jesus saying “ Suffer the little children to come unto me” and that Jesus’ “ little children” includes Samaritan and Palestinian children and other victims of war such as the once upon a time starving Biafran children …
See what you make of this list :the most bloodthirsty persons in history
There are upbeat fundamentalist Christian Zionists such Huckabee -Trump's Ambassador to Israel.
Naturally, Palestinians are nervous about Mike Huckabee -Trump's Ambassador to Israel. Check out what he’s saying already : Huckabee and Israel .
When I first heard the news,I got the names mixed up and thought that Trump had appointed John Hagee, another see no evil , speak no evil , hear no evil when it comes to what the anti-Zionists ( and the anti-Semites) refer to as “the Zionist entity”
Check it out : John Hagee and Israel.
I wonder if he pays any attention to Mishlei 3 : 5
But in that respect he’s probably not different from all the other Zionist Pentecostals including the Nigerian Zionist Pentecostals and Evangelicals who no matter how outrageous the political situation is seem to be depending mostly on their own understanding ( sometimes they say “ as directed by the Holy Spirit”) and of course according to his own understanding the believe in all the propaganda and hype about “Israel in prophecy” -and they conflate the Biblical Israel with the aforementioned “ Zionist entity”
There’s this awesome passage : Shemot / Exodus 33:21- 23
At the moment with Uncle Sam on their side, they are not seeking peace or pursuing it. Netanyahu & Crew feel that they have the upperhand - but the day that the hand that is shading them will withdraw that hand then will begin the day of reckoning.
