  1. Focus on protecting Palestinians from Netanyahu and less on protecting Netanyahu from the consequences of his own actions. He should be happy they just want to arrest him. Every breath that man takes is a crime against humanity.

  2. Poland has a duty to act if a fugitive from justice wanted for crimes against humanity enters their territory. To give Netanyahu a pass makes a mockery of the rule of law in Poland, and weakens the credibility of our international institutions.

  3. I assume he wants to suck up to Trump since Don the Zion and his supporters have been quite upset about the previous announcement that Netanyahu would be arrested if he stepped foot in Poland.

    Embarrassing anyhow.

  4. The ICC is slowly unraveling. Who could have predicted? Poland plans to ignore it. South African already ignored it. The U.S., China, Russia, (close to 1/2 of the world’s population) are not members. Countries don’t want to relinquish their sovereignty to unelected technocrats.

  5. No NATO member except possibly Turkey is ever going to come into conflict with Israel’s conduct in any way, shape or form.

    Like there’s just plainly no possible way for this to happen.

    Maybe during PiS times but not today.

  6. If you think the US and its allies flagrantly flouting international law is anything new I have some very, very bad news for you.

    America literally has an “invade the hague” law on the books in case one of its war criminals gets nabbed. Shit like this constantly and greatly undermines US moral authority.

  7. Allowing war criminals to attend who are committing a genocide as we speak would show Poland has learned nothing from the Holocaust.

    The main uniqueness of the Holocaust was not that Jews are victims, but that Jews were indiscriminately targeted, just like Palestineans are experiencing now.

    Gaza is basically a concentration camp. Israel controls all four borders, including the border with Egypt, all air and sea access. And kills civilian Palestineans in that concentration camp indiscriminately. Palestinean are experiencing completely insane collective punishments such as starvation tactics. And Poland wants to invite the person responsible for all of this?

  8. Not the first criminal he’d be housing in the Presidential Palace, last year he took in two buddies that were convicted of abuse of power (they were head and deputy head of anti-corruption bureau during PiS’ initial term in 2005-07) while mulling over the pardon for them

    He’d need to find Bibi a good alternative though, since his term runs out on August 6th

  9. If Netanyahu, a man wanted for war crimes, is allowed to visit without issue then it will be the ultimate fuck you to the “rules based order” of the west and an open display that Israel is above the law.

  10. South Africa was rightly criticised when the ANC (the ruling party) balked on arresting Putin were he to visit. It was a national shame, widely covered in South Africa’s high vocal and critical press.

    Poland should also be rightly criticised for this. There are plenty of high profile Jews and Israelis who aren’t *currently* engaged in a genocide — maybe invite them instead?

    It’s in memory of the murdered Jewish diaspora, NOT Israel or Israelis.
