Back in February, Trump sanctioned the International Criminal Court:
The order Trump signed Thursday accuses the ICC of engaging in “illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel” and of abusing its power by issuing “baseless arrest warrants” against Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant.
“The ICC has no jurisdiction over the United States or Israel,” the order states, adding that the court had set a “dangerous precedent” with its actions against both countries.
Trump’s action came as Netanyahu was visiting Washington. He and Trump held talks Tuesday at the White House, and Netanyahu spent some of Thursday meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
The order says the U.S. will impose “tangible and significant consequences” on those responsible for the ICC’s “transgressions.” Actions may include blocking property and assets and not allowing ICC officials, employees and relatives to enter the United States.
Human rights activists said sanctioning court officials would have a chilling effect and run counter to U.S. interests in other conflict zones where the court is investigating.
What makes this development interesting, from the standpoint of Kingdom News, is how the “world” keeps trying to array its institutions against Israel and its allies. Matthew 10:22 comes to mind: “You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved”. The absence of Hamas/Palestine being behind the original aggression which also took young life is conspicuously absent from the scope of this article.
The article continues and quotes some other sources with an explanation:
“This is a rogue court. This is a kangaroo court,” Graham said in an interview in December. “There are places where the court makes perfect sense. Russia is a failed state. People fall out of windows. But I never in my wildest dreams imagined they would go after Israel, which has one of the most independent legal systems on the planet.”
“The legal theory they’re using against Israel has no limits and we’re next,” he added.
Biden had called the warrants an abomination, and Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, has accused the court of having an antisemitic bias.
“Abomination” sounds like a Biblical categorization, which is not something the Biden administration is often accused of holding as a perspective. Graham seems to be advocating that the ICC is better suited to countries with weak court systems, but is surprised it is weaponized now against those that have their own strong court systems. An “antisemitic” bias appears to be the operative condition that explains the above actions, and also fits with the scripture. The ICC then would be classed a “world court” and so the script for it in a Biblical narrative is only to hate Israel and those who support it. Perhaps that is not yet the final verdict.
