WFB: Polish officials said they will arrest Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in compliance with a warrant from the International Criminal Court if he attends the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
“We are obliged to respect the provisions of the International Criminal Court,” Władysław Bartoszewski, Poland’s deputy foreign minister, told Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita on Friday.
Dozens of world leaders are expected to attend the anniversary event on January 27, which will honor the estimated 1 million Jews who died in the Nazi genocide. Netanyahu is not due to attend the ceremony, according to Rzeczpospolita. more
Hopefully Trump will make sure not a dime goes to the International Criminal Court from the US. Maybe Poland’s US $ assistance needs to be looked at as well.
Poles arresting Jews….how novel (I thought it was part of their DNA).
icc *******, igotsyo warrant swinging
polack-*******, proceed @ your own risk
Poland announced this publicly because they didn’t want to Arrest Bibi. They are bound by a treaty they can’t abrogate, so the next best thing is to announce their planned actions to avoid an international incident. Essentially “Hey Bibi, please don’t come here”.
icc robe
Why would Poland obey the ICC? They’re pretty good about telling the EU to go fuck themselves on just about any other issue, so why obey this one?
Doing the job that used to be the Nazis.
Something’s changed.
When is someone going to arrest Soros?
@Cynic got it. So far, Poland is simply doing international political posturing. They clearly don’t want to do either of arrest Bibi or ignore the ICC. It is perfectly reasonable for them to act this way. If/when Netanyahu ever steps foot in Poland, then it will be a whole different animal.
Huh. They used to really WANT Jews to go to Auschwitz.
No, No, Poland. The Musical.
(But I think Uncle got the back story on this).
Whatever happened to diplomatic immunity?
So. They are going to celebrate and commemorate the holocaust by taking a totally NAZI action and position. WTF???? I am amazed. What a bunch of dumb asses. No wonder Polish is synonymous throughout history with fumbling dumbassery.
“Poland announced this publicly because they didn’t want to Arrest Bibi. They are bound by a treaty”
I think if I were in a treaty or a binding relationship with an organization I knew was that fucked up I discontinue the alliance. Like yesterday.
Good. Someone should.
^^^^ So the Jews are the problem? After that mass slaughter? They don’t have a right to defend themselves? If that’s what you’re saying I’ve lost what little respect I ever had for you. I’m curious as hell as what you do for a living. I’m going with landscaper or barista. Please enlighten us.
