Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

No, he's not afraid of that because the US is not a party of the ICC and the American Service Members Protection act prohibits US courts, agencies, entities of state or local government from cooperating with the ICC and further
The definitions of the people described in subsection b are:
Anyone who assisted the investigation or arrest by supplying information or funding would be breaking US law.
Israel isn't a member of the ICC but there is still a warrant out for Bibi. Member countries have to abide by the rules of the court. So if Trump travels to France, he can be arrested, even though the US is not a member
The Netanyahu arrest warrant is controversial because of the jurisdiction issue.
Here's what Wikipedia says about the ICC's jurisdiction:
If Israel is not a state party to the ICC, there are two remaining possibilities that I can see:
And in fact, France took the position that it would not enforce the warrant because the court lacks jurisdiction.
EDIT: I finally found a source on the ICC's position on this jurisdiction question. The ICC ruling is that the state of Palestine signed onto the Rome Statute in 2015, and the ICC accepted Palestine's membership in 2021. And that this gives ICC jurisdiction within the territory of the West Bank and Gaza going back to 2014.
The 2021 court ruling explicitly determined that Palestine is a state.
The article says France says it's about jurisdiction, but specifically about the idea that a head of state has diplomatic immunity.
If Israel was a signatory that argument couldn't apply because they would have agreed to be subject to the ICC.
Eta more context: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/11/28/why-france-offered-netanyahu-concessions-over-icc-arrest-warrant_6734435_4.html
That same article says that they are required to enforce it
And says
It's funny that France says Israel hasn't signed onto the ICC and is therefore immune based of the Rome Statute...but Israel hasn't signed onto the Rome Statute either, so it doesn't apply.
Regardless of France's pussyfooting, the ICC says that members have an obligation to adhere to the warrants.
I mention not being a party to the ICC to introduce the US law that makes supporting the ICC illegal. If Trump was arrested, he could expect military intervention.
If it was France who arrested him, they could expect that the US would revisit the exception to section 2007, which allows NATO to exist. Otherwise, military assistance to nations that are party to the ICC is prohibited (with a few other exceptions listed).
Well "US Law" means nothing these days... it's down there with "thoughts and prayers" and "no, that dress doesn't make you look fat"
I don't follow your argument. I think you are saying the current government does not respect US law in their quest to achieve their goals. If their leader was arrested, do you think they would just be chill about it?
No, I was not making an argument. I was just trash talking the USA as the lawless dumpster it has become
I'm pretty sure the same applies for Russia and Israel, and yet the ICC is after their presidents for breaking "other laws".
The warrant for Putin is with respect to crimes in Ukraine. Ukraine is not a member, but gave authorization to the ICC to investigate certain crimes, and agreed to cooperate.
The warrant for Netanyahu is via Palestine, who is a member.
The Rome Statute makes activities in signatory nations part of their jurisdiction, which is part of the reason the law I mentioned was enacted.
