US Senator Bernie Sanders expressed support for the requests by International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan for arrest warrants for Israeli leaders and urged the US to respect international law.

"The ICC as I see it is trying to uphold international law and minimum standards of decency. Our government should do no less," Sanders told the Senate floor Tuesday night.

His remarks came after Khan applied for arrest warrants on Monday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and three leaders of the Palestinian group Hamas for “war crimes and crimes against humanity” committed in Israel and the Gaza Strip.

Sanders said that when the ICC declared Russian President Vladimir Putin a war criminal last year, the US government welcomed its decision.

"Some have argued that it is unfair to compare the democratically elected head of the Israeli government to Putin, who runs an authoritarian system...Yes, democratically elected officials can commit war crimes," he said.

"The ICC is doing its job. It’s doing what it is supposed to do. We cannot only apply international law when it is convenient," Sanders added.

He reminded the senators that more than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed and almost 80,000 injured since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7 last year.

Stressing that Israel has the right to go after Hamas, Sanders said: "But Netanyahu and his government do not have the right to wage an all-out war against the children, against the women, against the innocent people of Gaza. And for that, there must be consequences."

"What the ICC has done is important for the global community, in the sense that we cannot allow the human race to descend to barbarity," he added.

Bernie Sanders is the only sane politician today in US.

Unfortunately he faces a lot of opposition in the congress full of warmongers

I encourage you all to watch the video till the end

Kikikiki...all for the gram.
Irrelevant Senator

Smh. President Putin will be laughing out loud at the obscene hypocrisy of these guys.

Putin really got them on this. ICC will rule on the request of the prosecutor and no amount of threat and blackmail will save anyone just like they did when Putin was at the receiving end.

true, US is putting itself in a very tight corner by supporting the carnage and atrocities in Gaza, nobody will listen to their hypocrisy about human rights after this war, they've lost the moral compass.

Putin and other dictators are watching everything.

They are now resorting to bullying and intimidation of ICC.

Good morning

We know Bernie is the only person with humanity amongst all of them

Man of integrity.

They are all bought and paid for by AIPAC and the rest of them have vested interest in claiming Palestinian land after all is said and done.

All for waterfront property.

arithletics:
Before those Nigeria Christian extremists arrive they should know that Bernie Sanders is a Jew.

Stop supporting evil they will not hear, that's why their pastors always scamming them of big big tithe and offering.

What was your response and how did you feel when you heard the genocidal actions of Palestinians' in Israel on October 7, 2023?

They have not arrested putin na Israeli president they want to arrest.

We are waiting for any western country to intervene in Nigeria when our gallant soldier will be killing ipob terrorist and their sympathizer if they try to bring back Biafra after they will lose in 2027 General election. Then we will show them the hypocrisy in supporting genocide in Isreal against Hamas. We will give ipob terrorists the treatment of isreall to Palestine

Foolish old man...did he tell ICC to arrest Bush or Obama ??

Isn't Putin doing same thing? so why aren't they chanting for Putin's arrest? Oh my Bad they're afraid of him! Selected justice 🙄

Every right thinking person will support the arrest of the blood sucking genocidic Nantayahu.

To think he is an American Jew himself.

At his age he must be suffering from dementia... for calling for the arrest of Israel pm , while he said nothing when different American presidents invaded other countries and killed thousands

Sanders and other Democrats are hypocrites.

One senator talk no go determine wetin USA go do, know this and know peace.

If what Israel did is what Nigerian government do to Boko haram and other terrorist, do u think we will still have them.
