Mexico and Chile Call on International Criminal Court to Investigate Crimes in Gaza

byEDITORJanuary 21, 2024

Mexico and Chile have joined South Africa, Bolivia, Djibouti, Bangladesh, and the Comoros in calling on the ICC to investigate Israel for its crimes in Gaza, including war crimes and genocide.

By Tanupriya Singh / Peoples Dispatch

Chile and Mexico have called upon the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate the crimes being committed amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza. In the past 105 days, Israel has killed over 24,600 Palestinians in Gaza, with more than 7,000 people missing and presumed dead under the rubble.

In a statement released on January 18, Mexico and Chile stated that their referral to the ICC was “due to growing concern about the latest escalation of violence, particularly against civilian targets, and the alleged continued commission of crimes under the jurisdiction of the Court, specifically since the attack on October 7, 2023, carried out by Hamas militants and the subsequent hostilities in Gaza.”……………………………………………………………………………………………… more https://scheerpost.com/2024/01/21/mexico-and-chile-call-on-international-criminal-court-to-investigate-crimes-in-gaza/

TODAY. Biden in a bind – powerless to stop the genocide, but keen to fund it and promote it.

IF THE UNITED STATES REALLY WANTED TO END THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA – it could do this straight away - by simply ending the military funding to Israel.

 “We’re the United States of America for God’s sake, the most powerful nation… in the history of the world,” Biden told CBS News.

And Biden said-  ” I am heartbroken by the tragic loss of Palestinian life“  

SO -AMERICA IS NOT POWERFUL. Because quite clearly Biden cannot do anything in the least effective to stop the suffering of the people of Gaza.

However – Biden’s very feeble crocodile tears are a bit hard to believe !   “we will continue working to protect civilians, consistent with obligations under international humanitarian law.”

THE PROBLEM IS:  We are expected to believe that Biden’s USA is so powerful - in the face of its obvious weakness to do anything !

Of course, the answer to this conundrum is so simple: Biden is insincere and a hypocrite.

Biden is 100% behind the Israel genocide of Palestinians. Here’s what he says about the Israel hostages held in Gaza “I will never forget the grief and the suffering”
 And then there’s Biden’s comment on the Gaza death toll (which has now passed 24,000)-“I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s the price of waging a war. … I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using.”

And there’s Joe Biden meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet during his visit to Israel, -  “I don’t believe you have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist.” He made it clear that he stands with Israel and will commit U.S. military aid to protect it from future attacks. Citing “the urgency of Israel’s defensive needs,” the Biden administration on 29/12/23 said it would bypass Congress for the second time this month to approve an immediate arms sale to Israel.

 Biden showcased his unflinching support for Israel’s war aims in his address 0n 12 December 23 - He likened Hamas to “animals” and vowed that he would not “walk away from providing Israel what they need to defend themselves and to finish the job against Hamas.”

Don’t expect anything meaningful or truthful to come out of the mouths of Joe Biden and his coterie of mealy-mouthed well-paid sycophants – Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Victoria Nuland, Lloyd Austin Karine Jean-Pierre etc
