US Senate blocks bill to impose sanctions on International Criminal Court to protest Netanyahu arrest warrant

 https://www.ynetnews.com/article/sylymr8u1e

It passed the House earlier this month 243-140, as 45 Democrats joined Republicans in voting "yes."

In the Senate, Democrats said they agreed with much of the bill, but said it was too broad and risked alienating important U.S. allies and imposing sanctions on lower level workers at the court in the Netherlands.

Urging colleagues to vote "no," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish, accused the ICC of having "an anti-Israel bias that cannot be ignored." However, he said the bill was poorly crafted and also could target U.S. companies, such as those whose products help protect the court from foreign hackers.

  1. Schumer is the perfect Court Jew. If opposing Trump means throwing Israel under the bus, he'll do it and claim he's doing it as a "proud Jew"

  2. If someone wants to hack the ICC, kol hakavod.
    If someone is a low level employee (or subcontractor) of ICC, he should have no rights to enter USA

    Besides, they just have to buy Kaspersky, which is owned and managed by former KGB. Not all in US anymore.

    1. The ICC just made arrest warrants for Taliban leaders, so as to look balanced.
      But khan is Pakistani and they have a broiges with Afghanistan. It's nothing to do with human rights.
