ICC AND ICJ SHOULD DO THEIR DUTIES BRAVELY AND HONESTLY FOR SAFETY OF VULNERABLE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD 🌎.
They will always have to fight with one hand behind their back... the west are the majority funders of these organisations
Netanyahu must be held accountable for the many war crimes that he is responsible for.
Thats unbelievably anti-nethanyahuism.
@@John_Urnagbob 👏
The truth is 'obviously' somewhere in the middle, though...
If the ICC says he did war crimes
And Netanyahu says he didn't.
Then I suppose he only did /some/ war crimes? Or half did them...
Sorry, I've been listening to this show too much...
When is Tony Blair's trial?
This is a war, no rules in love & war
@@mattcarlin3373
Yes there are... that's why the ICC have long since been investigating Mr Putrids' war crimes in Ukraine...
International law means INTERNATIONAL LAW. Deal with it!!
Any Army which calls itself the 'most moral army in the world' probably isn't the most moral army in the world.
I always say believe what people do,not what they say!!
And Trump is the most moral person in the world, as well as being the most honest and never lying person in the history of mankind - in the entire universe.

Netanyahu called for Nakba. He deserves to rot in jail in The Hague.
Netanyahu was warned by the other court the ICJ months ago too, if they had started to behave themselves from that point this wouldn't be happening, they think the law doesnt apply to them.
Well theyre wrong.
Excellent point.
Israel refused the United Nations entry to conduct a independent investigation into oct 7th
UN is a travesty show. They're not fit to exist.
more interesting is the survivors of the attack all have been sectioned against their will by Israel and I suspect it is to keep them silent.
Of course, Hamas Military Compound Found Beneath U.N. Agency Headquarters in Gaza also Israel conducted a precise strike on a Hamas war room and weapons depot hidden inside of a United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) school located in Nuseirat in Gaza, Jerusalem announced on May 14. Israeli intelligence believes that Hamas recently used the war room to organize attacks against Israeli troops operating in central Gaza. Ten of the 15 terrorists eliminated in the strike were members of Hamas’s elite Nukhba Force who likely participated in Hamas’s October 7 massacre in southern Israel. All documented with pictures unlike over 15000 alleged civilians now missing from the count by hamas.

@@Robin.2226 Sharia is a main source of Qatari legislation, according to Qatar's constitution. Sharia is applied to statutes pertaining to family law, inheritance, and several criminal acts. A 7th century 🎪 like that as a member invalided existence of UN by joining. Trump was right to call for UN to be liquidated. It's just a matter of time now.
It needs to happen. War criminals need to face accountability.
All of them! Bush, Cheney, Obama, H.W., Clinton, McNamara (dead), the entire lot. Bibi used these world leaders as his benchmark. What the US has done over decades were never prosecuted. That is why Bibi figured he could get away with it.
The war criminals are currently facing accountabilty right now in Gaza..
@@davidgreen6490 If you are referring to Hamas, they are not there.
@davidgreen6490 . If you mean the 40 000 innocent people who are slaughtered and the 100 000 who are injured for life, then your disgusting as the evil figures who are pushing the buttons.
@@chrisccc22 HAMAS is the elected government of Gaza. Until their leaders are caught, the hostages released, their weapons destroyed, and a full unconditional surrender issued, the Israelis MUST persue their current course.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Free Humanity
😂😂😂
Would you can Hamas innocent?
Suella Braverman is correct.
Let me help enforce the arrest warrant.
Nothing democratic about an apartheid/genocidal state.
Exactly, Israel keeps saying they're a democracy but that is a lie. An apartheid state that doesn't allow every citizen the same rights is not a democracy.
Everyone was cheering when ICC was holding Putin to account now let’s see the same enthusiasm for arrests warrants against Hamas and Netanyahu. (Admittedly we missed the chance with Tony Blair and Bush but let’s not repeat the same mistake twice)
Putin doesn't care because he can go to move countries and BRIC block is growing Putin and China has more power than the European Union and America economy 😊
james o'brien keep speaking the truth , FREE PALESTINE , thank you
The international community had 76 years to do something for the palestinians and they failed to stop the occupation even after the peaceful march in 2018 so the palestinians had no choice but to do what they did on October 7 .
No dude the International community has tried again and again but America vetoes any attempt to hold Israel accountable or to recognize the Palestinian State
@@markeastlack4180that's the same thing though.
If the law is not going to be applied equally and effectively without favour, then what is the consequences for us all in the future. I'm sure we've been down this road before.

Israel took over the Rafah crossing. This why Egypt co-signed with South Africa in the ICJ against Israel shortly afterwards
Cutting off WATER, James? Cutting off water to men women and children some of whom cannot survive without water to drink to add to to their milk formula!
I don't see any reason why a normal judge will reject a warrant arrest for Netanyahu
If Mossad would simply hand over the 'footage' of British dignitaries and US VIPs then we could draw a line under it all.
38:47 As an Egyptian, the statement here that Israel has nothing to do with rafah crossing is absolutely false. As part of a long standing security arrangement between egypt and Israel, anything or anyone crossing into or out of rafah must be given clearance by Israel before it is moved through. And this has been the case for decades until Israel took over the crossing last month.
Thanks for your personal insight to the subject of the Rafah crossing,we in the west have no information we can rely on except first hand non Israeli Government or IDF information or propaganda .
I think the prosecuter requested warrants for both Hamas and Israélien criminals at the same time makes it difficult for the
US to kick up a fuss and the ICC to refuse
the
They're separate warrants for what it's worth. Meaning the worst case scenario is that warrant for the Hamas officials is accepted but the warrant for Israeli officials is rejected.
Had it been any other time in this conflict, I'd have probably said that was a 98% likely foregone conclusion. But the tides are turning and there has never been this level of support for Palestinian emancipation in history so I'm cautiously optimistic that both are granted.
@@mohammedsaleh7 I did know there will be (hopefully) seperate warrants. But what I meant was the tactics
@@Kan09138 Yh, I mean the US also has a law in their system that allows them to invade the Hague if any US personnel or its allies are brought to the ICC. So the more anarchist side of me wants to see that happen amidst all the posturing ATM.

Russia flags flying in Berlin Germany
So she says they should be sending aid through the tunnels? I'm confused. And yes, Israel does control what goes in through Rafah. It doesn't matter where it goes in from, Israel always checks what's in the trucks and ridiculously decides what has to be removed from them.
Cheers from America! I love your show.
Wow. This woman is evil.
It's brilliant though. People have woken up to their lies, to their bigotry, racism and depths of evil. Every time they speak, they show their true colours to the world & chip away at the $trillions spent on propaganda
Every Russia know what happened in war two because Russia saved the world from Germany after 2:01:07
It’s no wonder James doesn’t get many calls from those who defend Israel’s actions. He destroys them haha
The truth doesn't have to fall in the middle. That's called the false middle ground fallacy. The truth is not a respecter of "sides" and it is never on your side. You are on it's side or you are not.
This "both sides" pedantry in the face of these blatant and obvious outrages will come back to haunt James down the line.
Why was this 12h late and why is this audio only?
Stupidity of that Apartheid woman talking about bogus claims about Rafah. She should beg People to educate her.
You need education

Must be free Palestan and arest naten yahu
The truth does not have to lie between those two poles. One side has western governments on its side, arms dividends rolling in, a story so well rehearsed and with a bought up media to tell that 'story' plus 76 years of dominance by many brutal means over those years. We have the other side, the indigenous people of Palestine, reduced to beggars in their own land, with no freedom to have a life other than as a concentration camp victim. What needs to happen is that the 'two poles' need to stop existing and all people should have equal rights.
They consider themselves above the law and above all other nations. Having to justify themselves would be far too humiliating. In addition, they have the US's support, so there's little reason to take the ICJ or the rule of law seriously.
The credibility of the ICC in relation to Africa has been continuously called into question now is the time to prove this wrong...no better time to show that we are all liable to be tarred with the same brush depending on our acts!! If Nethanyahu goes scott free then no African Leader should go before ICC or UJ in the future. This from a liberal law-abiding African lawyer!
It's perfectly reasonable for the international courts to issue these arrest warrants. Anthing to give all concerned pause for thought. It has very obviously rattled Netanyahu et al.
There is compelling evidence from all kinds of sources,that is why Netanyahu is reluctant to attend the ICC. He knows it and we know it has gone beyond the defensible.
What it changes is that the worldwide regard for the West is currently nosediving with breathtaking speed.
What the Rafah women wants to say but can't is that she thinks Egypt should have opened the Rafah crossing to take all the Gazan Palestinians as refugees into the Sinai. "We wouldn't have to make things so miserable for you if you would have just left sooner." Terrible way to think.
Yes, looking for someone else to point the finger at.
She's also working on the assumption that Israel would allow the Palestinians back in after that. Any fragment of knowledge about the West Bank would prove that idea to be a farce. Anyone remotely aware of the broader aspects would know Israel has a track record of taking land by killing/kicking people out of said land.
Exactly they want us to ignore the fact that if Egypt let them in they will never be allowed to return home which is exactly what the net agenda wants.
I wonder why you would need smuggling tunnels if the border was controlled by Palestine and Egypt. Umn
It’s a very valid point
I was born in England and always liked the term British. for me. The Tories have completely ruined that image the whole swelling with pride when you say the word British has been destroyed for me by the Tories. Now it's an embarrassment something I don't want to be associated with. I'm from the UK and very much a European. That's how the rest of the world sees me. There's just a few people in England that don't get it. They are very much the minority. The world knows that England is in Europe. until England understands that, they're just going to keep self-harming
Imagine if Israel was treated the same way Russell Brand was during the allegations 😱
Helen's point that Israel has no influence "what-so-ever" over the Rafah crossing seems to just ignore the 2007 agreement between Egypt and Israel that any imports *_require the approval of Israel_* and instead relies completely on speaking loudly on the subject no matter how disingenuous.
I like how he called Israeli terrorists that blocked the humanitarian aid as activists
Yes, James, there were warnings at the beginning of this conflict that involved the starvation of Palestinians, but you still said Israel had the right to defend themselves..
Thats the way any normal person would react to the accusations. Show proof you are innocent. Your own people have been issuing videos of their crimes.
The reason why Netanyahu doesn't want to have his day in court is that he believes either that he has done nothing wrong and why should I have to prove it,or he has the protection of it's allies, namely the UK, Germany and the USA. Israel's allies strong rejection and criticism of the ICC and it's decision could be because that arrest warrants if the allegations against Netanyahu, Gallant and Hamas leader etc are found to be true and successfully prosecuted that would leave Rishi Sunak,Joe Boden,Kimi Badenoch,some parts of the media etc can also be issued with arrest warrants for complicity, aiding and abetting in the crimes that Israel have been accused of. There are far reaching implications far beyond Netanyahu and Gallant. There was a previous international arrest warrant issued for an Israeli female member of the war cabinet,I can't recall her name,and when she came to the UK David Cameron when he was prime minister blocked the execution of the arrest warrant. Ponder on that.
It appears that anyone who wants to get on in British or American politics must be vetted by Israel first! and not swearing loyalty and allegiance to them, will see you blackballed and sidelined
It’s a dangerous and sad state of affairs when Benjamin Netanyahu has more power and control over the UK and US than the Prime minister or president themselves
Now you realise this?
@@wakingfromslumber9555lots of people are waking up now to this. Better late than never
James when you talked to the caller who was blocked from moving into a mental health job, this demonstrated how people are no longer able to move up or sideways. This movement was allowed in my youth and it created aspirational mindsets, while allowing younger folk to step into those opennings.
Teach your children to vote. Children aren't taught voting in school.
So glad that James is expressing his inner feelings about the whole situation so logically.
The ICC is Hamas
The ICJ is Hamas
UNWRA is Hamas
WHO is Hamas
WCK is Hamas
UN is Hamas
Easier to just say everyone and anyone criticizing Israel is Hamas, an antisemite or a self hating Jew.
The age of the mass graves some how mitigates the fact that there are mass graves. The claim that these are old mass graves has a couple of really bad connotation, it was OK before at some time and these acts have been going on for quite some time. The excuses (responses) are self incriminatory.
It's important to remember that Britain and the UK are not the same thing. I have noticed that people that describe themselves as British are sometimes the same people that don't like foreigners coming here to do those jobs. They are also the same people that wouldn't in a million years do those jobs because they're so very special and very intelligent.
Israel joined China, Libya, Iraq, Qatar, Yemen and the USA as the only seven countries voting in opposition to the ICC's creation during negotiations of the Rome Statute in 1998.
They didn't talk about the war becaude even thinking of it for one second made them feel sick and ill. They were pushed to see and do things No one should have to do . The product of a diseased. Horrible time. It's not something to be celebrated.
TOP MAN James always fair and square
What about arrest warrant for Netaniahu for performing London bombing 2005 he was hired for?
If you straddle the fence in the face of evil. You’ve already your side.
Thank you James for your strength of character and fearless, factual and franm appraisal of this seemingly intractable problem of Israel in the Middle East and their Arab neighbours including the Palestians. Israel had now exhibited its total disrespect for its neighbours Egypt and Jordan but also the USA UK and EU the UN and ICJ and South Africa calling it the legal arm of Hamas!
Who does usa answer to? Britain? These govs should be answerable
What they do in Israel is what they will do to us outside of Israel.
Spineless people never take a stand
I think one of the problems with how England sees world war II is. It feels it won the war. " We won the war" It just rolls off the tongue doesn't it. It was Europe fighting together against evil within itself that won the war. There is no separation. And if there is, Russia probably did more than anyone. Not to mention America. England's role in the war was much less than we were taught at school
as you say education. It's important because England sees itself as much more important in the world than it really is. That's very damaging for England. It doesn't affect the rest of the world. It just damages England.
The new McCarthy era is upon us 😮
Who created Israel ? And with what right?
Israel fights to occupy while Hamas fights to resist.
Not sure what James's point was with the first caller...should Karim Khan also remain neutral as to the question of the crimes alleged, because it hasn't been judicially concluded?
Fair enough for James to take that position as a journalist, but not clear on the logical leaps he makes with regards to the caller's position.
Biden is cheap, he just be behind Setanyahu. He iis himself not crrdibleas a president
😂😮
The lady talking about Egypts role at the Rafah crossing is ignorant. She thinks once the trucks cross from the Egyptian side then its smooth sailing? No. On the Gaza side of the border is where Israel is stopping the trucks and pretending to be inspecting them. And then leaving them for the settlers to come destroy the aid. Egypt opens the border but on the gaza side of the border Israel is stopping the trucks.
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.

Excellent Immigration discussion!
We have the exact same dilemma in the USA.
Over here, of course, it's the Republican party that's gone off the rails about immigration.
They bang on about "doing it the right way".
But then, their own party has removed a LOT of the legal and right ways to immigrate or seek assylum so what is a person to do?
And they don't dare criticize me because I "did it the right way".
16 years of waiting for paperwork to come through.
16 years which would drive a normal American mad with waiting. Yes, I know my fellow citizens well by now.
They can't even survive waiting for toilet paper to get back into supermarkets.
I was lucky that it wasn't a pressing issue for our family.
We grew up, waited patiently. Lived life as normal. I went through elementary, High School and College waiting.
Then all that for me to age out of the system at 21.
So where did that leave me?
I had to file again under another category which took another 8 years.
So don't anyone tell me now to "do it the right way".
Some people are in dire circumstances and can't wait 24 years.
James, love your program. I live in pure red, total abortion ban state of Tennessee, USA. Your description of the Tory party describes our republicans to a tea! They’re so childish that thy refuse to say Democratic Party. They think somehow by saying democrat party does damage to their opponents. I’m totally disgusted!🤬
they broke the law in a limited and specific way
The Dr Phil interview with Bibi was disgusting, full of suckling up & lies!
Please, give the people time to say there say. James you like your voice.
You don’t need to try to tip toe around this James. It is objective fact that over the past 75 years that one party have caused more suffering and brutality than the other.
I think it’s gonna happen…..it has to happen
I don't have much faith in that phrase, "the truth lies in between". Let's test it:
(1) 'Brexit will have no downsides'
(2) 'Brexit will ruin the economy'
"Surely the truth lies in between those two poles"
Will have downsides, won't ruin the economy..
Unless you consider the downsides to be ruining the economy.
Netanyahu is starving the hostages.
USA leaders has already committed war crimes in Afghanistan Iraq Vietnam Cambodia n got away with so expect ñetanyahu to get away with his crimes also
Thank you
❤❤❤❤❤❤ thanks James
What are thanking him for? His cowardice?
Why wouldn't you notvwant this opportunity to prove your innocent. Because you're not.
But no arrest warrant for the Hamas leader in Qatar
Israel doesn't let anyone leave Gaza unless Israel gives them permission like to go to Egypt or into Israel. Like, I dont understand how that is being free to move wherever. Yeah, people from Gaza (like the terrorists) might be able to sink out, but a normal citizen that doesn't have any family outside of Gaza will never step foot outside that 28-mile zone (I am not 100% sure on the size of the area). How can people say that they could just leave if they wanted to go someone other than just walking into the sea. I just want to make it clear what happened on October 7th was terrible and is still terrible that they have hostages, but saying that why are the hostages not the top priority at this point for Israel and the US. If Israel wants to keep this war going their number one goal should be to get them back and not to wipe Gaza off the map. The sad thing is the hostages have never been the top priority in BB's government.
You can flip the two different situations and if your reaction is the same then you really have a problem if not you have found your answer
Companies abuse their employees too much and if your not desperate no one wants to do that, the employment problem is generally with employers and the way they operate this is even more so with franchises.
The best and probably only option is to make it easier for people to make their own business and end huge coperations
Thank you James. Your persistence on keeping your very pertinent question in focus reveals all.
I welcome the opportunity to commend James Obrien!!! Brilliant

As for me the US must be included as they provide weaponry and also continuously veto the cise fire agenda at the UN
Does Israel keep the military away from the population because they have really playing like they have no idea how many troops is truly lost by now
At about the 10:20 mark, James implies that Hamas won't respect the ICC ruling, but they have expressed co-operation, as long as there is no double-standard for Israel
Also, James forgets that the West is directly responsible for the situation in the Congo
Even Israelis are crying out for the resignation of Netanyahu.
Is this possible that you want jobs filled but you don't want to see the people doing the work more like a silent but separate work force
