The international community has become increasingly hostile to the nation of Israel. Even though it was the victim of a horrible attack, progressive leaders have appeared to side with its enemies.
This is consistent with far-left groups who have protested for months in favor of Hamas.
But they crossed a line when the International Criminal Court put out arrest warrants for top Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Netanyahu. The White House has made no comment, thus far, about this staggering development. While Biden is silent, however, another nation is speaking out.
From Breitbart:
The International Criminal Court seeking warrants for the arrest of Israel’s Prime Minister and Defence Secretary is “deeply unhelpful” and created a false moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said.The British government has criticised the International Criminal Court (ICC) for deciding to seek arrest warrants against Israeli figures including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at the same time as leading Hamas figures. Speaking during a summit with the Austrian leadership in Vienna on Tuesday, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: “This is a deeply unhelpful development. Of course it is still subject to a final decision, but it remains deeply unhelpful nonetheless”.
The Prime Minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak, spoke out against the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders. The British leader said the move was “deeply unhelpful.” He claimed this move created a “false moral equivalence” between the elected leaders of Israel and the terror group leaders of Hamas.
Many around the world condemned Israel for retaliating against Gaza after the October 7th attack. They claimed it was not “in proportion” to what Hamas did to Israel. This line of thinking has seemed to generate sympathy for residents of Gaza while ignoring our diminishing the horrors inflicted on Israeli civilians in October.
Progressives have gone as far as to blame Israel for the October 7th attack. The ICC seems to put the lawfully elected leaders of Israel—who are obligated to defend their nation—with terrorists leading Hamas. The British PM’s response has been one of a few reactions to these warrants that respect Israel’s right to defend itself.
It remains unknown if Biden will comment on the development. The president has become increasingly critical and hostile toward Israel. He has delayed weapons aid to Israel while promising hundreds of millions to Gaza. This is likely due to progressives threatening not to vote for Biden if he keeps helping Israel.
Key Takeaways:
- British Prime Minister Sunak criticized the ICC’s arrest warrants for Israeli leaders.
- Sunak called the move “deeply unhelpful,” rebuking the ICC for making a “false moral equivalence” between Israel and Hamas.
- President Biden has not appeared to comment on the warrants or express support for Israel.
