Nuremberg trials for Israel politicians, IDF and settlers.

WHEN WILL THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OPEN THEIR 

EYES TO ISRAELI LIES?

Scott Ritter is one of the best truth men around today


1) International Criminal Court (ICC) — charges against individuals.
The ICC’s Pre-Trial Chamber issued arrest warrants on November 21, 2024 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the Gaza war. ICC States Parties are obligated to arrest a wanted person on their territory, though enforcement depends on national authorities. These warrants exist regardless of Israel not being an ICC member because the Court has jurisdiction in Palestine (a State Party) and over crimes committed there. 

2) International Court of Justice (ICJ) — state responsibility for genocide (not a criminal trial).
South Africa’s case against Israel is ongoing; the ICJ has issued repeated provisional-measures orders (including on May 24, 2024 concerning Rafah) to reduce the risk of genocidal acts while the merits are litigated. The ICJ can decide whether a state breached the Genocide Convention, but it does not convict individuals. A final merits judgment will take years. 

3) Universal jurisdiction in national courts — possible cases against foreign officials (and, in rare circumstances, others).
Some countries allow their courts to prosecute grave international crimes regardless of where they occurred. You’re already seeing filings: for example, Argentine lawyers petitioned to arrest Netanyahu if he enters Argentina. More broadly, NGOs report a sharp rise in universal-jurisdiction cases worldwide, showing this avenue is active—though outcomes depend on each country’s laws, evidence, and politics. 

4) Could settlers, foreign leaders, or “complicit” journalists face charges?
• Settlers / West Bank policy-makers: The ICC’s Palestine situation also covers the West Bank; transfer of an occupier’s population into occupied territory is a Rome Statute war crime, and legal analysis notes settlements are within potential ICC scope. Whether charges issue depends on evidence and prosecutorial choices. 
• Officials of other states: Individuals can be liable for aiding and abetting if they knowingly and substantially contribute to crimes (e.g., providing operational support). Rights groups argue some third-country personnel could face exposure, but actual prosecutions are uncertain and politically fraught. 

• Journalists: International law very narrowly criminalizes direct and public incitement to commit genocide (an inchoate offense)—not ordinary advocacy or biased reporting. The famous “Media Case” at the Rwanda Tribunal shows the bar: explicit, public calls that spur genocide. Without that level of direct incitement, speech is not an international crime. 

5) A true “Nuremberg-style” tribunal?
Those were ad hoc courts created after WWII by victorious powers. Today, something similar would likely require a UN Security Council resolution (veto-prone) or a multistate treaty with territorial consent. Given geopolitical alignments, the ICC, the ICJ case, and scattered universal-jurisdiction prosecutions are the realistic venues, not a brand-new global tribunal.

Bottom line: There’s already a live criminal track (ICC warrants) and a live state-responsibility track (ICJ). Universal-jurisdiction filings are proliferating. But large, public “Nuremberg-style” trials for Israeli leaders, IDF members, settlers, foreign officials—or journalists—would depend on arrest leverage, airtight evidence meeting strict legal elements (especially intent), and cooperation by states that control borders and custody.

Gaza Hospital Hit Twice, Journalists Among Dozens Killed

Image
A hospital in southern Gaza was struck  twice in what witnesses call a “double-tap” attack.  The first strike hit the upper levels of Nasser Hospital.  Just minutes later, a second strike targeted rescuers and journalists who had rushed to help the wounded. At least 20 people were killed, including five journalists. The timing of the second strike raises questions that go beyond the battlefield. A “double-tap” attack—hitting once, then striking again when rescuers and journalists gather— is widely seen as a tactic meant to maximize fear, silence witnesses, and discourage reporting . That is why press freedom groups are treating this not just as a tragic mistake but as a possible deliberate message.  Killing journalists on live coverage ensures fewer independent voices can document what is happening on the ground , leaving only official narratives to control the story. In conflicts where information is as powerful as weapons, the destruction of cameras and reporters...

Holocaust survivor says this is worse. Let that sink in.

Holocaust survivor says this is worse. Let that sink in. The One Video Israel Doesn't Want You To See What is happening in Gaza is a holocaust. The Israeli government is carrying out what it calls a solution to the Palestinian problem, and as a holocaust survivor I must say, not in my name. I see extermination, dehumanization, starvation, blockade, denial of water and medicine, the destruction of health services, the targeting of doctors and journalists, and so-called safe places that are in reality traps. Together, these form the conditions of a holocaust. None of this differs from the actions carried out by the Nazis during the Second World War. Gaza has become an open-air concentration camp. In effect, it is an extermination camp because the only way out is death by bombing, disease, or hunger. The only other option offered is forced removal to places where people do not wish to go. I lived through the holocaust myself. I experienced hiding, discrimination, and the devastation t...

Old Wounds and New Laws: Poland’s Rifts with Ukraine Resurface

Image
Poland and Ukraine Struggle Over History and Symbols Polish President Karol Nawrocki has introduced proposals aimed at limiting benefits for Ukrainian refugees while also banning public use of symbols connected to Stepan Bandera, a controversial nationalist figure in Ukraine’s history . The move has created tension between Warsaw and Kyiv at a time when both countries are still dealing with the legacy of World War II and the Volhynia massacres. Under Nawrocki’s plan, access to child benefits and certain healthcare would be restricted to Ukrainian refugees unless they are employed in Poland. At the same time, his government seeks to outlaw Banderite emblems, which many Poles associate with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army responsible for wartime atrocities. In Ukraine, however, these same emblems are often linked to national resistance against Soviet domination , showing how symbols can carry very different meanings depending on the perspective. Earlier this year, Polish and Ukrainian leade...
