      they’ve acted solely w/o support with anyone in the past and i suspect that they will continue to do so, so long as the current sole superpower has their back

        All these countries are dependent on Israel in order to hack into our smartphones…

          Tbh, I doubt it. NSA probably gives the exploits to Cellebrite who then packages it as a tool easy enough to be used by a barely tech-literate cop. And even if that’s not how it works, the American IC does hire hackers that can find 0days or can reverse engineer Cellebrite tooling. Or the company can always be acquired by a silicon valley ghoul like Peter Thiel.

          Above all else, Israel is a valuable forward operating base for our neo-imperialist foreign policy agenda. I highly doubt we’re funding the genocide to keep Cellebrite afloat.

      It shows how low the bar is with pro Israeli regimes in the West.

      “we won’t object to the application of an arrest warrant for a war criminal who is orchestrating a genocide”

      That should be the standard for every country

      i’m so glad to see this from starmer and labour; this plus macron’s initiative to invalidate the french elections by working the far right was giving me a pessimistic view of our future.

      Not that unexpected - from the article:

      David Lammy, the foreign secretary, told the Commons in May: “Labour’s position is that the ICC chief prosecutor’s decision to apply for arrest warrants is an independent matter for the court and the prosecutor.”

        Labour have kept changing policies all over the place so have been difficult to predict.

    You can’t support the ICC against Putin but challenge it against Netanyahu. Double standards are harder to maintain when the world is paying attention.

      The USA don’t even recognise the ICC. Also just read the first paragraph of the text

      Labour has announced its biggest step yet in overhauling the UK’s approach to the Middle East, dropping its opposition to an international arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu despite pressure from Washington not to do so.

        Huh weird, when the same institution issued an arrest warrant for Putin, USA was encouraging it heavily. But now it’s their dog and of course crickets ensues.

    As long as countries like China, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia, or the USA don’t care, he has quite some travelling options.

      One of these is not like the other. Every country on that list recognizes except for one, the same one funding the genocide.
