You might not find it surprising. Perhaps what’s surprising is that it’s completely in the open.
An investigation by The Guardian and the +972 Magazine revealed Israel’s campaign to threaten and manipulate the prosecutors of the International Criminal Court.
+972 Magazine writes:
Fearing the legal and political consequences of potential prosecutions, Israel raced to prepare intelligence teams in the army, the Shin Bet (domestic intelligence), and the Mossad (foreign intelligence), alongside a covert team of military and civilian lawyers, to lead the effort to forestall a full ICC investigation.
All this was coordinated under Israel’s National Security Council (NSC), whose authority is derived from the Prime Minister’s Office.
Kenneth Roth, a former director of Human Rights Watch and an international affairs scholar, analyses what it means on Democracy Now! I invite you to watch it here:
The criminal, genocidal, and simply thuggish nature of the way Israel has been operating can’t be clearer. I’ve just written how it meets the definition of a rogue state in my previous piece and podcast. This new discovery only serves to confirm it.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
