ICC’s Selective Prosecution Favors Israel’s Colonization Agenda

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.

Do Jews Have Historical Rights in Palestine?

In this thought-provoking analysis, we delve into the issue of historical rights in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Challenging common narratives, we explore why no country recognizes Israel’s claim to historical rights in Palestine and examine the legal intricacies of territorial claims. From the post-World War I mandate system to the evolution of international law, this article unravels the historical context behind the ongoing dispute. We scrutinize key documents like the Balfour Declaration and dissect the crucial distinction between “historical connection” and “historical rights.” By the end, readers will gain a nuanced understanding of why Jewish presence in Palestine 2,000 years ago does not translate into present-day territorial rights, and how the principle of self-determination impacts the current situation.
