WATCH: Debunking the Lies about Israel: Natasha Hausdorff on the New Blood Libels: Spiked, Nov. 19, 2024 — Israel is easily the most demonised nation on Earth. Despite the Jewish State being a liberal democracy, Western activists spend vastly more time raging against it than they do genuinely despotic regimes.

The International Criminal Kangaroo Court Strikes Again: Gabriel Groisman, JNS, Nov. 25, 2024 — When Karim Kahn, the chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court in The Hague, applied for arrest warrants in May to be issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, I commented on X that the warrant application was “proof positive that the powers that be in the world cannot stand the Jewish people defending themselves against terrorists hellbent on destroying them.”
On Israel, the International Criminal Court Is Wrong on the Law—and the Facts | Opinion: Mark Goldfeder, Newsweek, Nov. 21, 2024 — On Thursday, the International Criminal Court (ICC) took the extraordinary and deeply flawed step of issuing arrest warrants for both the leaders of Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, and the leaders of Israel, a democratic state engaged in self-defense against those very same terrorists.
The ICC Has Destroyed Its Own Credibility: Yuan Yi Zhu, The Spectator, Nov. 22, 2024 — The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity (a third warrant was issued against a Hamas commander, believed to be dead). In so doing, the ICC has undermined – perhaps fatally – its own credibility, as well as prospects for a peace settlement in Gaza.
The ICC’s Unsurprising Decision on Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Deif: Chimène Keitner, Lawfare, Nov. 25, 2024 — On May 20, the ICC prosecutor asked a Pre-Trial Chamber (PTC) of the court to issue arrest warrants for three senior Hamas officials and two senior Israeli officials, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, who was defense minister at the time of the request.
