Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew over Greece, Italy, France and Canada on Thursday on his way to address the UN, despite an International Criminal Court warrant for his arrest.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November 2024, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023.
Netanyahu arrived in the US for a short visit to address the UN General Assembly in New York, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said he does not have the authority to arrest the Israeli leader.
the west’s rules based international order is dead , and they killed it themselves
The Western imperialist rules-based order is the same as it ever was: they make up the rules and order everyone else around.
turns out the “international” law only applies to the global south and that the “international community” is just the NATO and friends.
Rules based international suggestions
The question is: was it really ever alive to begin with?
it still is… against the non-western aligned countries
never, but nobody had a proof or an unambiguous example they could cite
“Rules-based international order” folks.
Coming from reddit, it’s interesting to see a world news forum that isn’t entirely and totally captured by Israeli Hasbara mods. I got banned from reddit’s /worldnews for pointing out that “invade Iran” vs “let Iran have nukes” is an asinine false dichotomy. (And I didn’t even use the word “asinine.”)
I think Iran should have nukes
Ideally no country should have nukes.
However, Iran having nukes may be preferable to Iran having its country ‘annihilated’ by an empire that already has nukes, and is the only country to have ever used them.
In the world where countries do have nukes, I think Iran should have nukes. In a world without nukes I think they should also not have them.
Once socialism becomes global and imperialism is eradicated, we can do serious work toward nuclear disarmament. I’m old, though, and won’t live to see it.
I don’t think any country should have nukes.
In the world where countries do have nukes, I think Iran should have nukes. In a world without nukes I think they should also not have them.
That’s basically why communists created Lemmy in the first place, to allow communities unencumbered by corporate social media’s censorious algorithms to thrive.
I hate to say I told you so, but I earlier this week I said the ICC a neocolonial imperialist institution employs selective justice. Turns out the .today and .worlders were wrong again.
The rules bent order
where Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said he does not have the authority to arrest the Israeli leader.
As expected, he knew this very well
Contrary to France, Italy and Greece who signed the ICC; they have the authority but not the balls nor the spine. Their leaders are fucking losers
Last year it was “I’ll definitely arrest him if he comes to New York”
yes, you know it sounds nice but it’s not more than that.
Politicians going to politician
But what about the rules based international order?
Pussies
TIL: Under Article 3© of the Chicago Convention, a state aircraft cannot fly over another country’s territory without that country’s authorization.
Whereas for ordinary commercial airliners, the necessary overflight rights are usually already established through international treaties and bilateral/multilateral aviation agreements.

It’s kind of amazing .world lets Zionists like you have an account for so long. @jordanlund@lemmy.world
@jordanlund@lemmy.world will probably make him a mod lol
Please don’t summon him to lemmy.ml. It only ever results in more smug liberal diarrhea.
Maybe you should ban him then
Please don’t summon Lund; nothing productive ever comes of it.

If only. I banned it.
Oh my bad I thought the account was banned because it said so on the profile. Thank you then.
Only banned from our instance. You’d have to go to their instance to see if they’re banned from there (I checked; they’re not).

Maybe you should stop moderating fucking Nazi communities.
LOL - still running that “nonconfrontational” line I see… How’s that working out for you?

What the fuck are you talking about? It’s just a username. It’s working great?
You are 100% confrontational and keep catching bans for it. 😉
It’s like you’re not even speaking the same language as me, lol.
Why would I give a fuck if I’m banned from your garbage Nazi communities??
the comment that got removed here would catch a ban in World as well.
Maybe now that Trump is in, but before that you explicitly allowed Gaza genocide denial and indeed banned people who reported it.
No, no I did not. I regularly removed comments and banned users denying the genocide from the start when the numbers of Palestinians killed were as low as 5,000 and morons were trying to say “Nuh uh! You don’t know that!”
You explicitly told me you made an exception to the rule against genocide denial for the Gaza genocide, then banned me for reporting them because that was “harassment”.

50.000 casualties
Genocide denial
While it are primarily Americans fighting for the Palestinian cause.

Oh so not 50k? So you were lying then.
And we both know damn well that 77k is the number of positively identified direct fatalities (not causalities, as you tried to lie) caused by Israeli munitions, it doesn’t include deaths from indirect causes resulting from the complete destruction of civil infrastructure or deaths that couldn’t be confirmed because the bodies were buried beneath bubble or couldn’t be positively identified by what remains of the Palestinian medical system after it’s systematic destruction by Israel. Meanwhile the number you’re citing for Afghanistan is total excess mortality from all secondary effects.
But again, you know that, and you’re being dishonest on purpose because you support the genocide going on in Gaza.
What are they supposed to do? Shoot him down?
If he is unwilling to land, when ordered? Yes. He is guilty of committing war crimes, they are supposed to do something about that.
Yes
FIRE THE MISSILES
Yes. How do you think countries enforce their airspace?
