The International Criminal Court (ICC) and its prosecutor, Karim Khan, face sharp criticism for allegedly selective prosecutions that seem to favor Israel’s colonization efforts. Despite accusations of anti-Semitism from prominent figures like Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak, the real issue lies in Khan’s failure to address the most significant crime: the ongoing construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. While Khan pursues war crimes charges against Israeli leaders, his omission of settlement activity—a clear violation of international law—grants Israel the freedom to continue its expansion. This selective focus undermines the collective Palestinian right to self-determination, echoing a troubling history of Western complicity in dispossessing Palestinians.
