Germany sells out to ICC's anti-Israel persecution
Germany's government has proven once again the country hasn't changed since the horrors of WW2 (Hat tip: Jihad Watch):
A spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s administration for stating on Wednesday that his country would arrest and deport the leader of the Jewish state if the International Criminal Court implements a warrant for Netanyahu’s detainment and extradition.When Germany does something this atrocious, it only contradicts their earlier stances, making clear they're taking the woke position that despite everything, evil shouldn't be punished. Which only explains why Germany continues to go down the moral drain. And what "law"? The ICC only applies this term selectively, and not in Israel's favor at all. The ICC is only siding with the Religion of Peace.
“I am old enough to remember the German leader coming here days after October 7, and stating the Hamas are the new Nazis. They seek a genocide against the Jews. Many in the world need to check their moral compass and be on the right side of history.” Avi Hyman, a spokesman for Benjamin Netanyahu, told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
Scholz’s spokesman, Steffen Hebestreit, was asked on Wednesday whether the German government would execute an ICC arrest order against Netanyahu for alleged war crimes during Israel’s efforts to defeat the Hamas terrorist movement in the Gaza Strip. Hebestreit responded, “Of course. Yes, we abide by the law.”
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, told Fox News Digital, “It is beyond comprehension that any German government would arrest the democratically elected PM of the Jewish state on blood libel lies. It should be arresting all the antisemites attacking Jews on the streets of its nation. Never, never again.”
Scholz’s administration’s targeting of Netanyahu has sparked comments about Germany’s failure to have internalized the lessons of the Holocaust, in which the Nazis arrested, deported and murdered six million European Jews.
A day before Scholz’s spokesman said Germany would implement the ICC arrest order, Israel’s Ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, wrote on X, “The Chief Prosecutor [of the ICC] equates a democratic government with Hamas, thereby demonizing and delegitimizing Israel and the Jewish people. He has completely lost his moral compass. Germany has a responsibility to readjust this compass. This disgraceful political campaign could become a nail in the coffin for the West and its institutions. Do not let it come to that!”
Prosor, who was Israel’s former Ambassador the U.N., said, “This is outrageous! The German ‘Staatsräson’ is now being put to the test—no ifs or buts. This contrasts with the weak statements we hear from some institutions and political actors. The public statement that Israel has the right to self-defense loses credibility if our hands are tied as soon as we defend ourselves.”
