How much money do the Jews pay for Lindsey Graham’s protection?
Sputnik: US
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has threatened US allies with
sanctions if they try to help the International Criminal Court (ICC)
arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"To any ally — Canada, Britain, Germany, France — if you try to help the ICC, we’re gonna sanction you," the senator said on Fox News.
When asked about the nature of such sanctions, Graham doubled down on his threat, saying the US should "crush" the economies of countries that support the ICC's efforts.
On Thursday, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant
over alleged war crimes in the Gaza Strip. The court also dismissed
Israel's objections to its jurisdiction over such cases. Israel has
consistently challenged the ICC's authority to hear cases related to
Palestine as a whole. The demented US President Joe Biden called the ICC's decision
"outrageous."
Since
October 1, Israel has been conducting a ground operation against the
forces of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement in southern Lebanon and
continues aerial bombardment of the neighboring country, where more than
2,500 people have already been killed, including leaders of the Shiite
movement, and more than a million people have become refugees. Despite
losses, including in the command staff, Hezbollah is waging ground
battles and does not stop firing rockets at Israeli territory.
On
October 7, 2023, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack
from the Gaza Strip. After that, Hamas militants penetrated the border
areas, opened fire on the military and civilians, and took more than 200
hostages. According to the authorities, about 1,200 people were killed
on the Israeli side.
In
response, the Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords,
which included strikes on civilian targets, and announced a complete
blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, electricity, fuel, food,
and medicine were stopped. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, more
than 43,500 Palestinians have died since the beginning of the conflict,
and over 102,000 have been injured.
The
Russian Foreign Ministry called on the parties to cease hostilities.
According to Moscow's position, a settlement is only possible on the
basis of the formula approved by the UN Security Council with the
creation of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with its capital
in East Jerusalem.
