Efforts by Israel’s intelligence agencies to undermine and influence the international criminal court (ICC) could amount to “offences against the administration of justice” and should be investigated by its chief prosecutor, legal experts have said.
Responding to revelations about Israeli surveillance and espionage operations against the ICC, multiple leading international law experts said the conduct of Israeli intelligence services could amount to criminal offences.
The disclosures about Israel’s nine-year campaign against the court were published on Tuesday as part of a joint investigation by the Guardian, the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call. It details how the country’s intelligence agencies were deployed to surveil, hack, put pressure on, smear and allegedly threaten senior ICC staff.
It is pretty bad. The part where the Mossad guy “ambushed” the judge in a hotel room is blatant intimidation.
*She’s lucky AF if you ever read up on Mossad tactics.
*Corrected.
* She. It was the previous one, not the one that has actually laid the charges.
Corrected, thank you!

They’re careful not to mention causes eh?
The app links to whatever the reason is that a brand is on the Boycott list. It’s usually a subsidiary of the big corpo brands (Unilever, Pepsico etc)
The main reason is brands that start factories or R&D companies in israel. The other is brands openly supporting israel and/or their directors being Zionists.
Surprisingly almost every product these days has a pretty good (local) alternative.
It might be difficult to avoid all products on the list but if everyone just avoids a few products of brands they don’t care heavily about and happen to be on the list it’s a great start
Meant to say the developer is clearly worried about censorship as neither boycotting nor Palestine mentioned:
Understandable but surprising.
Oh yeah Google banned the app from the play store initially because it mentioned israel killing people in Gaza in its description.
Alphabet is a huge supporter of Israel, and Google employees were fired for making their displeasure known for Google’s uncritical support of a genocidal, illegally occupying nation state. Not surprising, to me.
Those two dudes are definitely in touch with the needs of the people
Well at least the people of Israel who vote for them and support the genocide of Palestinians.
Also known as the people of Israel
Zionism is an economic policy disguised in social policy rhetoric that purports to ensure the survival of Israel and the Jewish people.
[Rhymes with Zionism] is an economic policy disguised in social policy rhetoric that purports to ensure the survival of [Germany] and the [German] people.
Both of these rhetorics are deeply grounded in economic incentives where wealth is taken from a marginalized group and transferred to the group in power
Both dehumanize the marginalized group and try to generate fear of that group amongst the population
Both are ideologies of murder that end in genocide and/or holocaust
The lessons of WW2 must not be forgotten
May or is?
its the classic tale of not getting arrested for the crime but for hampering in the investigation of that crime lol
worth noting this is a decade-long campaign not related to the current conflict. back when most of the world was unconditionally loving Israel they were doing this
Sometimes, it’s the crime ,and* the cover-up
BIAS CONFIRMED: Belgian/EU/German domestic security services and intelligence agencies are just parasites collecting pay checks for doing no work.
no wonder Russia is able to operate there so easily lol
Burying the lead…
That investigation, launched in 2021, culminated last week when Bensouda’s successor, Karim Khan, announced that he was seeking an arrest warrant for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, over the country’s conduct in its war in Gaza.
The investigation the lead up to Karim Khan seeking an arrest warrant started in 2021? Do they have psychics working there? Probably more likely they’ve wanted to do this for a long time, they were just looking for a reason.
The ICC is burning a lot of credibility here. So how much can we believe these “alleged” unsourced statements, especially considering it’s from The Guardian which has had an anti-Israel bias for decades?
If you read the articles on this, the timeline makes sense. No one has to be “psychic”.
-
In 2015 Palestine applied to join the ICC.
-
Mossad’s harassment of the ICC’s chief prosecutor seems to have begun straight after that.
-
Israel was already breaching international law with the settlements and flouting of the Geneva Conventions, and had been accused of war crimes in e.g. 2014.
If an entity is repeatedly accused of committing crimes it’s not really some crazy conspiracy if prosecutors start taking an interest in their activities. And the more they escalate their criminal activity the more likely it is that an investigation and eventual warrant will follow.

And a bone apple tea to you!
