Good question. Just goes to show out and out hypocrisy and duplicity. Putin got orphaned children out of war zone to safety. Meanwhile israel murders children by thousands and ... sickening
The one for Putin was demanded by America the international courts know that it was American weapons that were hitting hospitals schools and the nuclear power station in Ukraine that's why they wouldn't act on it but as with Israel America and their allies use threats against the international courts if charges are laid against them for war crimes
The ICC will not do anything because anything they do on one side, they must do to the other because of 07 Oct incidents, which will not be good for Hamas since some of their leaders are in member states and could be arrested way before Netanyahu. So the right thing is to stay and watch on this one.
The questions I have is if not for the actions of Hamas, how long would the Palestinian hostages in Israeli prisons have been held? What military force in the world of International justice stands ready to enforce the two State solution, and force militaristic Israel to dismantle their Illegal settlements and stop their expansionist policies of oppression of the civilian Palestinian population? If Israel is not held to the cause of a fair and just settlement, why are the Palestinians expected to bow there heads and accept it?
Personally, I believe that all of Palestine belong to the Palestinians. The US and Israel cannot be trusted to not try and infiltrate and casue dissention among the Pallsetinians, they have done so before. No one understands the evils of Western dominanace better than people of African and Arab desent. I am hoping that Turkey and the UAE with backing from Russia will prevail against Israel.
I strongly condemned Israeli occupation and terrorism. I strongly condemned this genocide. Deep condolences for Palestinians people killed in this genocide.
@@anplusdre If hamas terrorist said 6000 children are dead then ask yourself how many wounded there are ? According rules of war there are least 18.000 wounded children. And what about grown population ? There should be at least twice deads and wounded grown ppl. My point is WHY YOU BELIEVETO HAMAS TERRORIST WORD ?

] Israel is not a member of the ICC and disputes its jurisdiction on the basis that Palestine is not a sovereign state capable of being a party to the Rome Statute, and Israeli Prime Minister Nyetanyahu repeatedly condemned the allegations and investigation.& Isreal is also back by US which is also not a member of ICC.
I am so glad that he is the former ICC chief prosecutor. First he claims that an occupation in itself is genocide openening the way for Israel to attempt to claim a genocide when Palestine retake the land. Also the US incessant attempts to "control and contain" China using Taiwan as proxy. The US is extremely adept at creating dissention and having others fight their for them; depleting the resources, infrasturcture and manpower of other nations. He also refuses to acknowledge the many deaths and tragic events that have occurred in Palestine as a genocide. He did not acknowledge the rights of an occupied people to defend themselves. He is biased and therefore corrupt. He is simply pushing the Western (NATO) agenda.
Saw that too! Why didn't he just focus more on the fact that 150 are NOT PREVENTING genocide💯⁉️ Neutral ground points could have saved him. But NO... speak in favor of Israel instead😮
Exactly, I can’t stand this idiot, not only corrupt, he can’t even talk, hard to understand with his slurs of worlds all over the place, geeez, you wonder how he got his job being so incompetent and louzy! When someone doesn’t acknowledge anything happened BEFORE Oct. 7th, and keeps looping back the enemy on Oct. 7th, you know already he is either BIAS or CORRUPT, or BOTH! ICC is a sellout and corrupted! Sadly, they have no choice but succumbed to US intimidating pressure.
As Zionist professor of Holocaust and Genocide studies Raz Segal explained clearly in his interview with Owen Jones - there is no doubt it is a genocide.

@@GoodMan_000 Hasbara - keep singing 'I am, just a lyin' for Zion'. Mossad Motto is - By Way of Deception Shall Ye Wage War.

I just read the entirety of the Hamas 2017 Charter, which is a revision of its original charter. In no place does it call for persecution much less elimination of Jews based on their religion or ethnic identity -- in fact it speaks against this clearly. What it does call for is the end of the Jewish State as a Zionist and colonialist entity -- that's a different thing and contradicts the widely spread notion (stated on this program as well) that Hamas by charter calls for genocide against the Jews.
👍💯 agreed. I'm so sick of Hamas won't accept Israel/2 states being thrown around when they surely know better. Likud charter promises there will NEVER be a 2 state solution and Israel will be from River to sea with its capital in Jerusalem....we never hear about that tho
Exactly! From the river to the sea. What Israelis don't realise is that it's liberation for them too, and hopefully, peace. But NOT DOMINATION AND PRIVILEGE, AND AYE, THERE LIES THE RUB...
It is becoming quit infuriating that ppl aren’t questioning the Israeli statements. I’m finding myself yelling at the news commentators. I’m glad I have found some outlets that speak out about the treatment of the ppl in Gaza.
I am sure the early zionist terrorists would agree with you. Men like the first prime minister David Ben Gurion for one who was the leader of the terror gang the Lehi.
Ocampo has the legal expertise but no credibility whatsoever. He, like Obama & others refused to do the right thing when they had the power to do so & fantastically developed consciences only after leaving office. For many years, Palestinians, international human rights organizations & governments around the world called on Ocampo as ICC Chief Prosecutor to investigate, let alone prosecute Israel’s well documented war crimes & crimes against humanity & multiple genocides in Palestine. Ocampo simply ignored these pleas, sat on the dockets for years until he left office & doubled down on prosecuting Africans. His liberty to label Hamas’ actions on 7 Oct a genocide & his initial hesitancy - later followed by a very restricted description of Israel’s current behavior in Gaza a genocide only after being pressed on it, tells you everything you need to know. These people are disgusting!
What he says goes against previous rulings. ICT for Yugoslavia: "the part must be a substantial part of that group. The aim of the Genocide Convention is to prevent the intentional destruction of entire human groups, and the part targeted must be significant enough to have an impact on the group as a whole." He's trying to slither away from the question on Israel like a snake
The man refused to call the atrocities on Gaza genocide by Israel I have no time for his double standard it is an absolute disaster destruction to even have a man like this to voice with no professionalism to the matter. This actually indicates that past atrocities were overlooked by this man therefore Netanyahu did not get the red card
This show is not telling ppl the mean question. Why is the ICC not taking action.? .Israel is not a member of the ICC and disputes its jurisdiction on the basis that Palestine is not a sovereign state capable of being a party to the Rome Statute, and Israeli Prime Minister Nyatanyehu repeatedly condemned the allegations and investigation. Its also backed by the USA which is not a member of ICC too. Both don't recognize the Palestinain State And other question. Why is the UN not taking action against Isreali? Palestine is just an abserving member of the UN. They can only take action one all the other UN members recognize Palestinian State. Out of 193 counties ony 162 contries recognize Palestinian State. Hence other members have being make statements to say they now recognize the Palestinians state.

Absolutely disagree with this guy No way the definition of genocide fits hamas Hamas is fighting occupation and independence of his land If all their occupiers happens to be Jews then of course they will say they want all Jews out! Big difference This guy needs to retire How can both occupier and occupied commit genocide
This guest seems fixated on Hamas with very little implication on Israel. He makes it seem like there isn’t enough evidence against it whereas the events of October 7 have been challenged to also go against Israel. Also his quote of the Hamas chap he spoke with may have spoken from a place of scripture, so personal belief is being conflated for professional charter.
💯% Calls the withholding of water food etc genocidal. But could not unequivocally call the dropping of 6000 bombs just in the first week not good enough to call a genocide. He is weak in his judgement on this fact .

Before you take Ocampo seriously, ask him how he bungled the ICC cases against some Kenyans. Ocampo's incompetence is legendary. He has no idea what genocide is.
@@mogamadgreyson143 yeah, easy for you and me to see and anyone with a pair of eyes really, but obviously there are some zealots who think israeli gov can absolutely do no wrong and have an odd cogtitive dissonance about the situation.
That's sad for Kenyans😢. Losing hope in ICC from this interview. But not surprised considering their SILENT behavior to encourage Justice on the planet. I guess they are not under any mandate for that😂 As for what's genocide, it's the crime many states commonly commit but there's a SILENT RULE not to identify countries doing genocide because like he said they also must PREVENT genocide & that means>>>>less weapons manufacturing & purpose for multiple countries😮 Facinating how they set up a structure for PREVENTING something and only used it once in 75 years🤔
@@Jouantiese“Well, it’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country people are criticizing Israel, then they are anti-Semitic. And the organization is strong, and has a lot of money, and the ties between Israel and the American Jewish establishment are very strong and they are strong in this country, as you know. And they have power, which is okay. They are talented people and they have power and money, and the media and other things, and their attitude is “Israel, my country right or wrong,” identification. And they are not ready to hear criticism. And it’s very easy to blame people who criticize certain acts of the Israeli government as anti-Semitic, and to bring up the Holocaust, and the suffering of the Jewish people, and that is to justify everything we do to the Palestinians.” Shulamit Aloni
So his argument goes: "Hamas is conducting genocide - while Hamas is stating it does not wants to exterminate all Israelis nor achieves it." "But we are not certain if Israel is conducting genocide - while Israeli officials are clearly stating they want to exterminate all Palestinians and actually do it." That must be a horrible horrible joke, makes no sense.
No IT IS NOT. According to laws of war it is not even a war crime because long time ago IDF noticed citizens to move away from war zones. Who stayed, stays for ever.
Basically if something is called ethnic cleansing then the assaulting government and even surrounding governments have no immediate LEGAL obligations to stop the acts but if the acts are classed as genocide then even a non interventionist neighbour is legally compelled to act to prevent genocide but they can look the other way for ethnic cleansing.
Yes this man is disgusting, Chief Prosecute,who is he going to prosecute???Hamas for genocide and slap Isreal on the back like Joe Biden did with Nutty???
Whoever subtitled this person with difficulties deserves a medal.

There is no such thing as a "neutral" show. You see what the editors want to show you and nothing more. You never learn what is inconvenient. Even then what you do see is there to produce a desired response like you getting angry.
@@Marss13z This is true of all human interaction and is not at all unique to media companies. Even this comment I'm writing isn't neutral as I (and all humans) are self-censoring based on what we think is allowed/not allowed or important/not important. This is why a single media source is not generally advisable and getting multiple viewpoints is important to try and get a fuller picture. What Al Jazeera does well is showcasing other viewpoints that may not be as common on typical cable news shows. Watching both you get a better idea how the various sides are framing the conflict and a better sense of what are the real problems and what are not. For example, basically all news outlets have reported how Oct 7th went down and are in agreement with it being a war crime. Watching multiple networks demonstrates that some people think Israel is committing war crimes for various reasons. If you only watched one show, you'd be either certain that Israel was NOT committing war crimes or you'd be certain they were and the evidence was ironclad. Watching multiples shows the evidence exists but isn't always ironclad for every instance making a more complex story of war crimes than any one channel mentions.
@@MrBrock314 Well spoken, sir. You've put your finger precisely on the situation. I think it enriching to sample many different viewpoints. I expect editorial cant from all news sources. They show us what they want us to see. No more, no less.
He talked to 1 (one) prof (with no power) and based on that he decided that hamas this and that and so committed genocide. Then we see what exactly Israeli regime has been doing for 75 years and the past 5-6 weeks and MANY people in the gov/army, etc have clearly said they are for genocide and we are debating if it is a genocide or not? Honestly, I have lost all trust on all the organizations. They have no critical thinking and pretend to be caring but they are really think about their own pocket.
How come this prosecutor became a prosecutor of ICC while he cannot diffrenciate among a occupier and occupied power. In my opinion maybe I am wrong we need to dissolve the UN+ICC+Human rights all together because these are the tools of?
Always sad when someone constantly uses Hamas as a closk yo avoid being attacked as an anti semite.

The problem is people like this guy keep saying Hamas committed genocide no doubt but Israel maybe, could be even everyone can see they bomb civilians, If this guy is really honest he could say Israel should have taken civilians to its territory before bombing anyone.

Why is the question of the Israeli’s Apache Helicopters using Hellfire Missiles and indiscriminately targeting civilians and anything that moved on 10/7 not being acknowledged and addressed? The Israeli military killed many of the 400 civilians on 10/7 and the Israeli’s finally admitted that and explained that they could not identify the victims because they were too badly charred! The remaining 800 killed on 10/7 were military and police officers and of the 1,200 many were civilians killed by the hellfire missiles.

Quit calling the people Isreal released Prisoners and call them what they are and thats Hostages. Isreal is holding people in prison without charges or evidence but because there a recognized State government they call people Prisoners instead of Hostages to give the people a negative connotation. But whenever Hamas arrest people the call them Hostages to give Hamas a negative connotation instead of giving them the same right to arrest people who they think is helping the illegal occupation by Isreal. So call the people released by Isreal HOSTAGES and not Prisoners

Oxford should update the definition of "Genocide". The word no longer connotes what we think it is. It means fatal casualties of civilians in war or police actions by a state; actions by a state that cause mass discomfort to a population. Genocide no longer means extermination of an ethnic group. Hamas has in their Charta, the killing of Jews, the destruction of the state of Israel, establishing and Islamic state in its place. No one has called it an "ethnic cleansing" or "genocidal" principle of the the Hamas Charta.
Mahatma Gandhi correctly described Zionism as a Crime Against Humanity. Look up also Lenni Brenner's "51 Documents: Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis" or Belsen Survivor Israel Shahak's 'Jewish History, Jewish Religion" (which is free online) for some truth about Zionism. The criminal Zionist Entity has been established on ongoing Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide. The Fascist Netanyahu and his Cabal funded Hamas to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in order to undermine the secular PLO and the Peace Process. This was shown on, for instance, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on November 14th. They also showed a Zionist speaking in Hebrew on a Zionist channel 5 years ago boasting of how Hamas was an Asset to Zionism as the AIPAC-bribed and blackmailed US politicians had labelled the Hamas Resistance Movement as 'terrorists' and so the Palestinians were not able to put forward a united representative body at the UN etc. Palestine will be Free From the River to the Sea!
In his interview with British journalist Owen Jones - Professor Raz Segal - an expert on Genocide - Professor Segal (a Zionist himself) described clearly why the Zionist assault on Gaza now underway is clearly a Gemocide!

"The disproportion of power and responsibility and oppression, is so markedly on one side - that if you take the worst thing you can say about Ham@s, multiplied by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians". ~ Gabor Mate'
That's not what he's talking about. He's talking about the killing of Israeli civilians on October 7th. It doesn't make sense, though, because they weren't trying to do anything other than cause terror. Meanwhile, the IDF _is_ indiscriminately bombing Gazans and intentionally killing swathes of civilians for the sake of ethnic cleansing.
So many crimes happened because of rhetoric like these ones of interpretations and definitions when it is convenient and suits the aggressor. Its crime against humanity when Hamas did it but while Israel has been doing it for over 70 years periodically no one even mentioned it and Hamas did not existed then .....The US has still did not come to that conclusion according to their investigations...Yet the crime and murdering continues and naive people like to say no one is above the law and how wrong they are Israel and the US are above the law and can get away with anything and thats the true of the world . Rules are made just for small nations countries not to the imperialists .Wake up people this is obscene and in the open for everyone to see .
I can't believe he is saying " both sides" are committing genocide. This is NONSENSE. That would make EVERY armed resistance a genocide. Utter nonsense.
This is absurd, this man keeps saying Hamas is committing genocide when the killed ~1000 Israelis, compared to what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank, numbers still growing.
I've seen other experts say it is not a genocide if you don't have the capability to carry it out. I'm not sure about this guy... He seems to think 'I think there's a suspicion worth investigating, despite evidence to the contrary' is the same as 'They committed genocide'. I'm not pro Hamas at all, but this false equivalent is just stupid.
Free Palestinians from Hamas! The time will come for Qatar to be investigated for its funding of Hamas and Al Jazeera you have a hand in this too. Hope that carries heavy on your conscience.
A young group of rats got together and decided to attach a bell to the cat's neck. A wise old rat asked, "Now, who is willing to do the job?" If we apply that story here, the cat is Israel which is supported by the owner of the house which is the US. Just watch the video after 11:30 The announcer: - "Can the ICC really do anything to prosecute non-members (Israel in this matter)? can anything actually be enforced? This is the answer of the rat who said "Israel committing crimes in Gasa could be investigated by the criminal court" a minute ago: - "The enforcement of the court decisions of the international court is in the hands of the states. I feel we are lacking is the commitment of the International Community including the bigger states to make Israel and Hamas respect the law." So what is the purpose of ICC who makes all this rhetoric but can't attach the bell to the cat's neck, in the first place? 🤔
I don't know how Israel is getting away with this criminality. Even with Reagan, forty years ago, there was more of a superpower than now. Therefore, the historians were right: the fall of the Soviet Union has caused the collapse of the United States and this was seen in the New World when the Aztecs fell and the Mayans also fell.
Simple. According to laws of war it is not even a war crime because long time ago IDF noticed citizens to move away from war zones. Who stayed, stays for ever.
