This Court Is Built for Africa and for Thugs Like Putin

That was what an unidentified senior government official said to International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan in discussions about the potential criminal indictment of Benjamin Netanyahu.

………

In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Karim Khan, the ICC’s prosecutor, recounted a conversation with a senior leader who remarked: “This court is built for Africa and for thugs like Putin,” underscoring the complexities surrounding international legal proceedings.

The attitude here is, to once again quote composer Frank Wilhoit, is that, "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Whether or not one believes that Netanyahu has committed crimes against humanity, it is undeniable that this assertion is mainstream in the Anglo/American polity.

The so called "Foreign Policy Blob" believes that the rules are there only serve their own goals.

F%$# that.

Mr. Khan, tell us who said this.
