ICC targets Israel (the Obama Clinton connection)

Fatou Bensouda, a Gambian citizen, has served as the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor since 2012, will formally investigate the “situation in Palestine” and alleged Israeli war crimes that “have been or are being committed there.”....she is bent on making a scapegoat of Jews, to probe Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip.

The fact that she has gone ahead with this prosecution means she already buys the anti-Israel narrative wholesale. She also plans to investigate the Jewish state’s response to Hamas’ attempt last year to infiltrate the border fence that separates Israel from the terrorist-run territory.

Bensouda’s prosecution is utterly lawless. As a political matter, the West must push back against this encroachment on the sovereignty of a democratic nation-state. ICC is structurally biased against Israel. Plus, if Israel is a nefarious “occupier” of Palestine, as Palestinian propaganda constantly claims, then it means that the “State of Palestine” isn’t sovereign over its own claimed territory and therefore can’t delegate jurisdiction to the ICC.

Israel is a democratic state with civilian control of the military and an independent, rigorous judiciary that can adjudicate war-crimes allegations. This isn’t some war-torn, broken state or one transitioning out of recent dictatorship — like, er, Gambia. Israel doesn’t need ICC supervision to prosecute war crimes by its own soldiers.

But Bensouda cares not for legal niceties.

Israel must now follow the lead of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who previously issued a visa ban for any ICC personnel ­investigating possible US war crimes in ­Afghanistan.

Israel should lead a team to fight the ICC jackals, including exposing Bensouda’s own checkered past and her alleged tacit involvement in ­African human-rights violations.

The democratic and rule-of-law state of Israel doesn’t need a Gambian dictator’s lackey to lecture it on the ethics of war and peace.

Third World dictators, international war lords, despots, terrorist groups, child sex slave-traders were all on an equal footing according to the Obama and the greedy Clintons.

Seen in the WH, Yahya Jammeh, was the Gambian dictator who was friends President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Jammeh was essentially installed as dictator in Gambia; human rights abuses were overlooked b/c Jammeh contributed to the Clinton Foundation. (LINK) Jammeh owns a $3.5 million mansion in Potomac, Maryland, was warmly greeted by then-Pres Obama at the 2014 and 2015 US-Africa Leaders’ Summits in Washington. Jammeh’s Moroccan-born wife, Zineb Jammeh, ran up huge totals at Washington area fashionable malls.

ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda. Bensouda served as a prosecutor and later justice minister under Gambia’s iron-fisted former dictator Yahya Jammeh. Speaking ­before a Gambian truth-and-reconciliation commission, one dissident accused her of “masterminding” the torture he suffered. (Bensouda has denied knowledge of this torture.)

The sludgiest parts of the SWAMP drain the slowest.

I’m afraid the clinton-obama axis will be slow in wiping out

Is that pic photo-shopped???
Whatever that is, it looks like a Vulcan from the Star Trek era, not something human from this planet.

Creepy..........

Big Mike sure does look real purrrdy in the yellow dress. Hair all done up and all.../S....LOL

Which is why it is so important for the Clinton end of the swamp to be drained.

Obama is also implicated in the surveillance issue.

Take them all down.

Can you imagine the Left, if Obama were named?

ERs across the nation would be flooded, none more than the ones in university towns.

“”Obama is also implicated in the surveillance issue.””

Does being a failed ex-president give you immunity from prosecution? If so, it’s time to ‘hope for change’ in that tradition.

Who’s the dude in white,...to the immediate right of the Cream of Wheat guy?

[datricker]

She might clog the drain
