A joint statement calls on “all States to ensure full co-operation with the Court for it to carry out its important mandate of ensuring equal justice for all victims of genocide, war crimes, [and] crimes against humanity.”

    So damn relieved to see my country on the list of signatories to this letter in spite of our piece of shit foreign minister (and former prime minister who had more or less quit politics only to change his mind and start yet another useless neoliberal party because he couldn’t live without the free first class flights) insisting on not recognizing Palestine even as the rest of Scandinavia does!

      I’m so surprised to see my country on there. The UK has had problems with anti semitism in politics and they seem scared to say anything bad about Israel.

        The entire strategy in the UK to take down Corbyn, involving the entirety of the Press including the supposedly “left” liberal press, the whole Tory party and all Labour party politicians from the New Labour faction was false accusations of anti-semitism supported amongst others by Israeli-backed “Jewish” organisations.

        The whole thing was so ridiculous that the Labour Party under Corby was accused of being anti-semitic whilst having fewer anti-semites than the general population and Corby himself was accused of being anti-semitic because in a conference he sat on a panel where another person - a Jewish Holocaust Survivor compared the actions of Israel with those of the Nazis which the anti-Corbyn propagandists deemed anti-semitism (in other words, to deem Corbyn anti-semite by association they claimed a Jewish Holocaust Survivor was an anti-semite).

        So I’m massivelly surprised that after both the New Labour and the Tories got massive help from Israeli-associated “Jewish” organisations and some very wealthy Jews (who like other such very wealthy people are very much to the Right, hence when they come from the Jewish ethnicity they’re often Zionists), they would align with International Justice and against Israel and its Zionist governments.
