Hamas attacks Israel

[petros]

How did this happen prior to Oct 7?

Does it play into why Hamas attacked?


Key Allegations
Crimes: Settlement expansion (war crime under Geneva Conventions) and potential apartheid (crime against humanity).

Part of ICC's 2021 "Situation in Palestine" probe, covering crimes since 2014.

Timeline
Mar 2021: ICC opens Palestine investigation (includes settlements). Pre-Oct 7

Nov 2022: Ben-Gvir & Smotrich join Netanyahu’s gov’t, push settlement growth. Pre-Oct 7

Mid-2023: ICC begins building cases against them. Pre-Oct 7

Oct 7, 2023: Hamas attack; ICC probe expands to Gaza.

Apr/May 2025: Draft warrants ready, but prosecutor on leave amid misconduct probe.

Aug 2025: Warrants finalized but held up, possibly due to U.S. pressure.

Current Status
Applications are ready but face delays, with concerns they may be shelved.

Other countries (UK, Australia, Canada, etc.) have sanctioned Ben-Gvir/Smotrich; Slovenia backs ICC warrants for Netanyahu/Gallant.

Pre-Oct 7 Connection
Yes, the case focuses on their settlement actions before Oct 7, 2023, though the Gaza war expanded the ICC’s scope.

All the way back to 2014? Wow. That shit stain definitely ain't washing out.

9 years of Zionist terrorism on Palestinians prior to Oct 7 linked to Ben-Gvir is under investigation with Americans trying to cover it up?

But but but....
