I dunno, it seems to me that if someone starts threatening you over something you’re investigating, you should probably take that as a sign to investigate even harder…

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
Note that the American domestic fascist party also supports a (foreign) jewish nationalist ethnostate (zionism), despite being the main group promoting antisemitism domestically.
It's almost like authoritarians and fascists are defined by their authoritarianism and fascism — authoritarians of a feather, genocide together — instead of their religion, race, or ethnicity...
The common factor between their support of Zionism and their domestic antisemitism, is hate. They support Zionism since they hate the Muslims. They're domestically antisemitic because they hate the Jews. They're motivated and driven by hate. They are the poison that the civilized world dies on.
There's an additional aspect. An interpretation of the end-times prophecy. Some believe (primarily evangelicals) that God promised the Holy Land to the Jewish people, and that reestablishing Israel's political boundaries will begin the end times. So as much as they may hate the Jews, they must be in power in Israel.
I'm sure a lot of it has to do with campaign donations as well. The party is full of hate, but I feel these politicians are just mouthpieces for their donors in their own personal pursuit of power and wealth.
Exactly, Christians have no pious convictions or beliefs. They say and do whatever they’re paid to say or is convenient
So america has a "right" to invade my country if the ICC prosecutes a non american war criminal? Huh.
The euphemistically named 'Hague invasion law' actually only promises to take any action necessary to avoid being held responsible. In real terms though, any military action against Hague will deeply polarize the world and destroy the current world order where the US enjoys some dominance and influence. The resulting scenario will see the US attracting the hostility of a lot of formerly allied nations. It will be worse than being held responsible at the ICC. So you're kind of safe.
You say that like a significant number of these Republican's donors would not salivate over being able to fracture the US from world politics like that.
...Russia. I'm talking about Russia, if you're unaware.
The American Republican party has been trying to break the UN for decades under the theory that our sovereignty allows us to take unilateral action globally and the UN is a threat to that. They sell it domestically as any law we pass because of the UN is an impingement on our freedoms and sovereignty. But it's pretty blatantly about their foreign policy goals. And when I mean sell it, I mean literally. There are books you can buy where the UN has "invaded" the US after the Democrats let immigration get so bad we lost all civil order and of course it's 300 pages of militiamen using painstakingly described weapons to fight the UN forces.
We really do have some crazy people and they got organized after we elected our first black president.
Kinda wild, especially since they leave other Americans to rot in foreign prisons. I highly doubt they'd actually do it though, and if they do I hope the EU shoots those troops out of the sky if they really dare to take hostile action. I think it's just stupid strongmen policy to appear tough.

This is the military-happy wing, so they really don't need much excuse. The "tougher" something sounds, the better. In their view anyway.
An they unironically use "sovereignty" as the justification.
Well no. Nobody has a right to invade your country. But we'll do it anyways. We really are that stupid.
I was today years old when I discovered the US is Russia with better PR.
lol. Look up what we’ve done to South America. We just eradicate the noise better it seems.

I wish people would stop saying the USA can't sink any lower, because every time this is said, we prove it wrong. x_x
"The bar was so low it was a tripping hazard in hell, and yet here you are, Limbo dancing with the devil."
But they really want the ICC to have Putin, huh
Maybe they don't, I don't know. Republicans are kind of unpredictable on that.
I'm not even saying the ICC should judge the case in any particular way, just that a court should be able to go through the process they need in order to make a judgement.
No they don't, and that's just another reason to use the veil of Judaism to attack them. They just want to have their oil and gas (in both cases).

It’s not even all of the GOP. It’s only 12 of the dumbest. Can we just vote these members out already? Honestly, nobody cares what Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz think about anything. Last I checked they’re even losing ground in their own states. They can’t make any of these threats real and I hope the ICC charges Netanyahu as quick as possible just to spite them.
Here's the letter from the article if anyone wants to read it (only one page).
The first part is simping for israel, last two paragraphs is where it devolves into literal threats.
That reads like a highschool drama, WTF is the whole world gone coocoo ?
It's not exactly our best and brightest.
US senators are interfering, influencing/lobbying for the interests of the Israeli government. But, can't call it security infiltration into the US government and politics. Because the foreign government is not China or Russia. The Hypocrisy of the US Government. 🤡
openly threatening the international tribunal's chief prosecutor. this only shows that international law and principles are good only if they favor the US government's interests.
I don't know why the ICC should even bother about whatever the US has to say when they even threaten to invade them, while pretty much all civilized countries recognize the ICC. Especially those particular senators, which are kinda the creme de la creme of asocial bullshitters.
Why do Republicans even care? The US has excluded itself from the ICC and our government holds no treaties to enforce any agreements or arrest warrants held by the ICC.
Rapture death cult
These same senators are responsible for spouting tongs of other of nonsense, I wouldn't take it too seriously and don't make up the majority of even the insane wing of the GOP. Not saying this is not a threat that, for example, Trump might make if he gets elected but for now I would take this with a grain of salt. They're just puffing up their chests for their own base here, as usual.

These braindead GOP bastards can go fuck themselves
He doesn't work for you, he doesn't answer to you.
Add those senators to the list! Aiding and abetting, boot licking sycophants
Funny, though, that Republicans are banging the Law and Order gong as loud as possible, but when it actually comes to bring criminals in front of Judges (Trump in the US, Netanyahu in The Hague), they fight Law and Order with tooth and nail.
That's exactly why they say it over and over. It's just brainwashing to keep you thinking they give a shit about the law.

List of beings I want to see in Hauge:
- Putin from Russua(Putin)
- Putin from Belarus(Lukashenko)
- Putins from other countries
EU when ECHR says some law contradicts human rights: "oh well, now this law is unenforceable and autorepealed".
USSA when ICC thinks about issuing arrest warrant: "I'm gonna invade you".
I'm not the most well read person around but why was there a letter disclosed exclusively to some obscure news agency? Or is it a well known agency that I've just never heard of?
Zeteo is new, created by Mehdi Hasan who was fired from ~~CNBC~~ MSNBC because of his critical coverage of Israel.
Mehdi Hasan recently created Zeteo because MSNBC fired him, most likely because he kept calling out the israeli spokesperson Mark Regev for lying all the time.
Because the public is desperate for news agencies which aren't fully powered by Zionist propaganda their launch was pretty huge and he got a lot of paid subscribers.
Zeteo is currently one of the most reputable news agencies. They're employing a lot of major news names, many which got fired from mainream positions for speaking the truth about israel.

I think netanyahu should be let out into gaza on his own, just with a water pistol.
No no, let him have real military equipment. Let him feel like a badass until he collapses under the literal weight of it all and is immobilized and left to die
He would be a nice street light decoration, but unfortunately there aren't many of those left in Gaza.
Good. I'd love nothing more than the US sanction ICC members and European countries refuse to execute arrest warrants on Israeli officials. This charade of "rules based order" has gone on too long, let them be exposed for what they actually are, hypocrites.
