I don’t really think Karim Khan is as talented as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and quite frankly, I would have made Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or perhaps Larry Bird the head of the ICC.

If the International Criminal Court is willing to go after the Israeli leadership, it won’t hesitate to go after US lawmakers, according to Senator Lindsey Graham. The South Carolina Republican has united with Democrats in calling for sanctions on the Hague court.
ICC prosecutor Karim Khan has requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, arguing there were “reasonable grounds to believe” that they were guilty of “war crimes and crimes against humanity” in the Gaza conflict. Khan has also sought warrants for three senior members of Hamas.
“We – hopefully, together – will find a way to register our displeasure with the ICC because if they’ll do this to Israel, we’re next,” Graham said on Tuesday, at a Senate appropriations subcommittee hearing where US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was testifying.
“Yeah, you can clap all you want,” Graham replied, as a group of protesters in the chamber began to applaud at his “we’re next” comment.
He argued that the US needs to impose sanctions against the ICC “to not only help our friends in Israel but protect ourselves over time,” noting that the court “tried to come after our soldiers in Afghanistan, but reason prevailed.”
Who can call Israelis “our friends”? What did they ever do to us other than steal money and do terrorism against us?
I don’t think it’s just protesters applauding the idea that Lindsey Graham would be charged with crimes. He has definitely engaged in treason and is an agent of a hostile foreign government. I’m not sure why he would think it was even a good case to make that people will come for him.
Does he have any approval rating at all? He is a flamboyant homosexual who is obviously involved in very nasty activities with young boys and all he does is promote the interests of a terrorist state.
Who even knows why this ICC thing is taken so seriously. They can’t enforce anything against anyone other than Africans that can’t defend themselves at all. No one respects this court. The UN is just an arm of the US government. The fact that it is now promoting some things that are against the immediate interests of the US government is totally irrelevant. They only have the powers that the US government gives them. It’s not a real organization, it’s just a front group set up to justify US global hegemony.
