The plane carrying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Florida for talks with U.S. President Donald Trump passed through the airspace of three countries that are parties to the International Criminal Court, despite an active ICC arrest warrant against the Israeli leader.

Flight tracking data from FlightRadar24 showed Netanyahu’s aircraft, known as “Wings of Zion,” crossed the airspace of Greece, Italy and France before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.

All three countries are signatories to the Rome Statute, which obliges member states to cooperate with ICC arrest warrants.

        So it becomes even more of a joke as more nations leave?

        They aren’t respecting Israel. They are afraid of the US military and how they’d be deployed did something happened to Trump’s Bibi.

          ICC is not the joke you and those countries are the joke. Not even the usa is dumb enough to make a war with all Europe. They don’t seem to be afraid of the USA when it comes to oppose Trump’s Ukrainian surrender plan for

      Thanks for reminding me!

      I crossposted it there, but the difference in traffic is so vast that I consider it justifiable to keep it here too, so people will actually see it 🤷

    The UK recently hosted the Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who has also committed many war crimes, so they’re doing worse here.

      Also they’ve arrested Greta Thunberg at least twice for protesting the apartheid regime that tortured her. At least once for protesting against fossil fuel atrocities too.

      As well as thousands of others, of course, but you KNOW a government’s rotten when it keeps going after our Greta!

      Law enforcement varies on the consequences the result from its practice. An ordinary person with no political power beside voting and protesting compared to a head of state with the backing of an advanced military naturally results in a different application. It’s not fair, but it’s life.

        Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes

        Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal / I

        walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library

        Line up to the mind cemetery now

        What we don’t know keeps the contracts alive and movin’

        They don’t gotta burn the books they just remove 'em

        While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells

        Rally 'round the family, pockets full of shells.
