- The US house speaker, Mike Johnson, has said the US should 'punish the ICC and put Karim Khan back in his place' after the ICC chief prosecutor put out a request for arrest warrants for Israel's leaders over the way its army has conducted its war in Gaza.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Johnson said: 'If the ICC is allowed to threaten Israel's leaders, we know that America will be next,' adding: 'We have some very aggressive legislation that we're going to push as quickly as possible. It will impose sanctions'

Any excuse for war and war crimes, a war crime is still a war crime even if your best buddies do it
Can you even define a war crime?
@@BabyGirlDontEvenPlay Yes: Article 8 of the Rome statute. And if you are curious genocide is in article 6.
@@grenadebiter you gave me a list of things Hamas has done, so thank you.
You've also been shown the list of what Israel has done and is still doing. Perhaps you could try reading it?
@@BabyGirlDontEvenPlay OK? Hamas leaders have literally also been issued arrest warrants. What's your point? Do you seriously think there's no reason for the ICC to suspect Israel of war crimes?
Disgraceful and disgusting USA senator and Congress members speaking like this.
No shame
Nobody should take the USA seriously anymore when they comment regarding the rules of law.
@@mashudmiah2209 To be taken seriously, I think the USA needs to stand up to this unprincipled power-grab by an ICC prosecutor.
@@canitbethatSo I guess america isn't democratic afterall. If the united criminal court say something the US is the only country allowed to intervene and define justice? I guess now we live in a dystopia, and instead of getting conquered by Germany we have gotten conquered by America (800 military bases globally). Guess this is how freedom dies...
@@canitbethatoh same usa were smiling when putin got arrest warrant
@@joexavier4070 Personally, I think that the arrest warrant for Putin was a bad idea, too. I understand the legal distinction the US is making here, though -- these are different situations. The ICC is exceeding its jurisdiction here in ways that it wasn't regarding Putin.
As an American I can say the ICC is doing the right thing
I could not agree more, speaking as a southern Georgia American, not this swamp gator from Louisiana.

Empty threats they may appear to be in as much as they can’t execute the action with any credibility. The notion is enough to induce a response from americas public office like woodworm. I’d wager it’s had the desired effect
The USA is still the greatest country on earth 🤷🏻♂️ and no arabs will dare going to war with us !
Double standards
Tell your therapist.
Senator Lindsey Graham said the quiet bit out loud that if the ICC is allowed to issue arrest warrants for leaders then _"we're next..."_
Oh I Hope. The ICC let the Bushes off the hook btw.
Which is why the US never signed up for the ICC in the past. Because, as everyone knew, they realised they would likely end up with US people on trial. And the US prefers to cover all those cases up and claim to be squeaky clean.
Former Governor of South Carolina and US ambassador for the UN Nikki Haley - Israel is conducting its war of self-defense more humanely than any army in history.
As you should be.
The US didn't sign the treaty with the ICC after WWII because it was afraid of a genocide trial for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it had nothing to do with sovereignty. The US didn't mind participating in the Nuremburg Trials though, they were all on board for that.
hypocrisy
Johnson should immediately resign as Speaker and from the House. He is a walking disaster area.
There needs to be different solution than Resign. If that happened would go to absolute Chaos +++++ The other side voted to keep him in office because of what I have just stated.
Man are you Crazy?

People are disgusted by all this. They ARE boycotting. And more WILL boycott. Israel and America. It will hurt. Really.
Go ahead 😅😅
Yep - that seems necessary.
uh huh lol
Waiting for that day. The US is a dictator , arrogant and aggressive!
Imagine someone says we should punish the US Supreme Court for any ruling we don't like... Full blown insanity...
The Supreme Court only has jurisdiction in the USA. The ICC has no jurisdiction in the USA or Israel. They're not part of that organization.
@@johnortiz566 Okay... and what is your point?
@@masonalnouri584 the point is ICC can issue as many warrants as they wish they don't have power over USA and Israel
@@Joseph-kd1zz I'm talking about the insane idea of punishing courts, there's no need to change the topic and deflect from the issue.
@@johnortiz566 But Palestine is, so they do have jurisdiction over any crimes that are committed inside Gaza, and also those who are committed from Gaza. Hence the indictments for both Netanyahu as well as Hamas leaders. It's perfectly within their judicial mandate, and these charges were well prepared with a lot of evidence behind it. Altough I personally feel there is a lot more evidence for the charges leveled against Israel, then there is against Hamas.
No you don't endure the ICC because they hold people accountable. America has committed so many war crimes it put's the English to shame.
British. And we don't give a f either lol.
@@Steelninja77 Wanna try us Irish ?
Scottish here..... England was doing the war crime/genocide thing before they settled North America.

Mike Johnson needs to go. The ICC should put him infront of a tribunal.
Is u.s.a and Israel above the international law? Every country should be accountable?
Only just realised this?
Lol you don't seem to understand that the United States is neither a member of the ICC, nor do we recognize its authority over the United States and its citizens.
That would be against Constitutional Law.
The Earth has no world government. We just have independent, sovereign nations, some of which have chosen to give authority over their citizens to an international court. Others, such as the USA and Israel, have chosen not to do that.
@@BabyGirlDontEvenPlay Russia is not a member either, why US supported arrest warrant for Putin and put up a pressure on South Africa to arrest him? If US is not a member then they should had SHFUP back then
@@izajahmed8863 Because Putin has had his forces invade Ukraine, do try to keep up.
are they american or Israeli????????
Isn’t that the same nowadays? Whats the differnce between us politicians and israeli politicians fr?
Does it really matter these days?
The very notion of being held to account by independent judges must absolutely terrify the entire US establishment.
And finally the mask slips.
And reveals balls on his chin
Stop supporting Israel
Don't do as I do, USA.
But when the ICC did the same to Putin they did not complain
It looks like hypocrisy, but the situation actually is different. Since the US doesn't recognize Palestine as a state, the US can't possibly recognize Palestine's accession to the Rome Statue, which is the basis of the ICC's claim to jurisdiction in Gaza. This is not an issue with Ukraine which, as a sovereign state, can choose to give the ICC jurisdiction over alleged war crimes committed on their territory. What would actually be hypocrisy would be to deny that Palestine is a state, while still acknowledging Palestine's right to grant the ICC jurisdiction in territory it claims to possess.
Putin is not our ally Putin is not a Republic like us…
@@canitbethat Great story bro.
@@ryansarkinian7196 Well, it's a true story. If you think it isn't, tell me where it's false. The idea, BTW, that Gaza is territory of the PA is absurd. Apart from the IDF troops there now, PA officials wouldn't be able to set foot there without being arrested as foreign agents by the real government of Gaza, which has been Hamas. Hamas, of course, has never signed the Rome Statute. So, the ICC's claim of jurisdiction is based on one delusion stacked on top of another.
@@canitbethat Uh huh.
It’s a lesson for Americans never to vote 🗳️ those who has associated with AIPAC
More than 80% of Americans back Israel - AIPAC will only get stronger while Congress deals with Khan's kangaroo court.
Time to take our country back!
Welcome to democracy. Only accept ICC warrants when suits you!!
Got to love the arrogance of the out of touch.
Block usa
Punishing ICC? Who is the USA to punish an international criminal Court?
They don't have authority over the USA. We are not part of that organization.
Why do you delete responses?
They only uphold the ICC when the ICC Is going after Putin or Black leaders from Africa.
@@johnortiz566People can't delete responses to their own comments.
Shame. The American government is losing it and the whole world with IT. OH Sorry United States of Israel😂😂😂😂
He needs to resign. Disgusting.
Bill Ackman in X:"I understand our goal in preventing the war’s spread, but are we really working behind the scenes on regime change in Israel with our ‘partner’ Iran? If true, this is a low point in U.S. foreign policy, but it does explain our condolences to Iran for Raisi’s death."
All Mike Johnson has to do is go in Gaza and stay there for few days and let's see what he will say later.
did you go? did you see? or do you know only from the lies and missinformation online?
Why would he go to GAZA and he is Pro Israel ??? We want you to go to GAZA and help out because you the one who is Pro Hamas…
@@cooler575 You really do need to get some factual information yourself before you accuse others of listening to missinformation.
@@cooler575 Well, Israel would never let anyone go and witness what they're doing. How can I go or how can anyone else.? AP was blocked just recently. No one can go in Auschwitz 2.0 made by Israel. You like to pretend like the Germans did during world war 2?
@@GeeDee103 I am not pro Hamas at all. I am pro protecting children and innocent. I wish Hamas never was in power but thanks to Israel it was left in power. Even Egypt warned Israel to be careful of the 7th of October but why did Israel not care? Maybe because they wanted this to happen so they can do what they did. When you see babies give their last breath and you consider yourself a human, that is when you can't see what a monster you became.
so America is bigger than the Court. where is this man coming from. He should be accessed

Most Americans are aligned with AIPAC😅😅
Mike Jhonson , the US are part of many international body . Second the US is not part of the ICC because of the crimes committed in Afghanistan and Iran . The United states stopped being a part of the ICC in 2002 . Interesting date . Mike Johnson is wrong and I disagree with his statement
Exactly finally someone had the guts to tell it like it is we commit war crimes in every war we participate in we also committed genocide in Japan ,so on that note any American who cry about what Israel is doing or any American who is all for the ICC going after Israel they are not a American in my eyes. they are against how we operate they are not one of us…
Weather we like how our country operates or not you always back your country don’t make yourself a outsider in your own country…
But at the same time you make no sense when you admit we commit war crimes then say you don’t agree with Speaker Johnson…
Basically you are saying you want the ICC to come after America next , what country are you from ???…
The US was never subject to ICC jurisdiction. Under US law, international treaties have to be ratified by a 2/3 vote of the Senate to have effect. In 2000, Bill Clinton signed the Rome Statute as a gesture of support in principle, but at the same time, he expressly said that he was not submitting it for ratification in order to keep the US out of its jurisdiction until US concerns with the Statute were resolved. They were never resolved, the US Senate never ratified the treaty, and in 2002 the US signature was formally withdrawn.
@@canitbethatIt's BS like this that has left small crimes commited abroad by US service people and government officials unsolved, with no justice for the victims or their families. Google the death of Harry Dunn for an example. Same bs, different scale obviously.
They should extend the warrants to the UK ministers still providing arms. Our Government is as out of touch with the people as in the US.
I'm looking forward to seeing Sunak in a little orange jumpsuit made especially for attending The Hague (as they didn't have one small enough to fit).
Yes. I would be cool to see David Cameron and Rishi Sunak in that Hauge answering questions about Greensill and overseas arms investment.
Shame on you
Criminal is criminal
Like or not 😢
Literally the point of international courts. Sorry you don’t like the truth.
DEFUND ICC
We need an arrest warrant for Biden , Johnson and Blinken.
This is beautiful Ametica making a choice and the world not having to put up with their international law anymore
ok putin no netanyahu?
Issue a warrant for his arrest too.
What people have to understand is that the US is the only international body that gets to decide on what is right or wrong . . .
Right from the horse’s mouth
“We don’t put any international body above American sovereignty.”
Except for the World Health Organisation right?
Read: We are above the law
😂😂😂😂😂 chatting 💩
Right we are and if you don’t like it go to a country who has to listen to other countries because they are powerless…
Guantanamo Bay and the lengths the US went to to avoid the courts and legal jurisdiction should show how much the international rules based order is observed by those with the most power.
We say punish mike jhonson for saying this

Criminals and double standards Shame on you
Running scared! Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time! 😂
All empty words. The US can’t do anything about the ICC since it’s not a member. 😂
Why would the US want to punish judges who convict criminals?
They’re literally bending up and down for Israel 😂. This is unbelievable.
In 2016, the Hague ruled that China's "nine-dash line" in the South China Sea had no legal basis. When China disrepsected this ruling and continued to assert the nine-dash line as their legitimate claim over the South China Sea, they were branded as "disrespecting international order."
Funny how when a very similar thing happens to Israel, suddenly this is no longer and issue about "international order," but rather an issue about "national sovereignty."
Also, it's very strange to admit that American leaders would be the next to be targeted by the ICC if we recognized the legitimacy of their arrest warrants against Israeli leaders.
The criminals should punish the judges for dispensing justice
The US should punish 124 countries? The audacity lol
They are so scared 😂🤣
such a chilling quote, what a disgusting person
Why American Govt. always protected the cruels and international war criminals. If they like same system why they don't adopt first in their country and what is Vito power,
That is big hateful barrier against justice .
"we don't put any international body over American sovereignty" tell that to the WHO and WEF
Anybody else notice how sunak calls an election right after the ICC announced arrest warrants for war criminals?
what's the point of ICC if they are powerless against Israel and US, we need a new world superpower who plays by the rules and co-operates
