Is anyone in Hezbollah sought by international courts for genocide and crimes against humanity? Why or why not?
Well, that’s awfully specific as a loaded question. I’m gonna go with, “Israel retaliated before the international courts could posture these” for $400 Alex.”
(YouTube & Celebrity Jeopardy!: Robin Williams, Catherine Zeta-Jones & Sean Connery)

Anyway, Lebanon nor Hezbollahstan (or Iran) aren’t an ICC member and have not granted the court jurisdiction. The International Criminal Court (ICC) can only prosecute individuals if the crimes are committed on the territory of a member state, by a national of a member state.

While ICC warrants target individuals associated with various conflicts (e.g., in Palestine, Ukraine, and Sudan), its capacity is limited, and it prioritizes cases where it has clear territorial or UN backing.😉.

Knowing where you’re trying to go with this, ther are 57 member states in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), 56 of which are UN member states. This large Islamic bloc, often allied with the Non-Aligned Movement, forms a near-automatic voting majority. Their collective focus significantly impacts the disproportionate number of accusations and resolutions brought against Israel.

The OIC, Arab League, and their allies make up a significant portion of the UN General Assembly. This structural reality allows them to introduce and pass resolutions targeting Israel far more easily than they can for any other nation on earth. This means OIC nations make up slightly more than 29% of the total UN membership, serving as the second-largest intergovernmental organization globally behind the UN itself, but that’s probably just a coincidence.

Anywho, back to the MOU towards something or another towards something else that might eventually lead to something that leads to peace, etc…President Donald Trump threatened Iran with fresh attacks if it did not stick to a deal to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, even as JD Vance struck an optimistic tone during talks with Iranian officials in Switzerland aimed at reaching a broader peace agreement.

So kind of a disposable-mediocre-cop/batshit-crazy-panicking-cop (that doesn’t care about the midterm elections). “In a phone interview with Fox News’s Trey Yingst, Trump threatened to attack Iran and take over the Strait of Hormuz if Tehran interfered with passage through the waterway.

“You close [the Strait of Hormuz] and you won’t have a country,” Trump said he told Iranian officials, Yingst posted on X. “You won’t even make it back to your fu*king country.”

Meanwhile, Vance struck a very different tone in Switzerland as he sat down with Iranian negotiators — for what has been dubbed the Lake Lucerne Summit — to kick off a 60-day process intended to work out the details of a broader peace deal.

“A memorandum of understanding — which Trump signed at the Palace of Versailles in France last week — puts the onus on the United States to deliver early, including by lifting sanctions, freeing billions in frozen assets and dismantling a naval blockade of Iran’s ports. The two sides established a two-month timeline to flesh out the details and settle issues that have plagued negotiators for years.

Iran promised to let shipping flow freely through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for transporting fuel whose closure has increased oil and gas prices. The deal also outlined an end to military operations against Iranian proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon, which is a core issue for Iran and requires the Trump administration to pressure Israel to halt attacks on Hezbollah there — even though Israel is not a signatory to the agreement and has denounced it.”

Is it loaded? You know the answer is no. So say no.

Where is Hezbollahstan are you really going to nationalize them by adding stan?

Neither is Israel an ICC member. Terrorist regimes usually aren't but the warrants are very real. Iranians with warrants 0. Lebanese with warrants 0 but Israelis....warrants.

And zero warrants for crimes against humanity. Israelis Yuuup. Why?

Still only Israelis packing warrants. Why is that Ron? Victims of an antisemitic system? its the holocaust all over again?
See above. Don't be a fool.

America's promises to brutal dictator run Arab nations went unfulfilled on the behest of Israel, America can't defend Israel and Israel can't defend itself.

Closing Hormuz puts nations who need it at the mercy of Israel. Why does Israel want the strait closed?

Read up and We'll discuss victimhood, the MOU and Greater Israel.

Question: Is Isreal refusing to abandon captured portion of Hezbollah oops Lebanon?

Yes, Israel is currently refusing to fully withdraw from certain captured or controlled territories in southern Lebanon
, maintaining a "security zone" or buffer zone despite ceasefires and international calls for withdrawal.09729abe49f5

Current Situation (as of mid-2026)
Israel conducted a ground invasion of southern Lebanon in late 2024 amid conflict with Hezbollah. It largely withdrew under a US-brokered November 2024 ceasefire (tied to UN Security Council Resolution 1701), but retained control of five strategic border points inside Lebanon and later expanded or held additional areas.08bd8b

Recent reports indicate Israel controls roughly 600+ square kilometers (hundreds of square miles) in southern Lebanon, including areas up to or beyond the Litani River in some operations. Officials describe this as a "security zone" cleared of residents and Hezbollah infrastructure, with no immediate plans for full withdrawal.a7f172

Israeli officials (including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich) have publicly stated that troops will remain "indefinitely" or "for years" until Hezbollah is fully disarmed and security threats are eliminated, even amid pressure from the US or others. They have rejected full withdrawal despite ceasefire extensions and agreements.040baa

This stance follows partial withdrawals (e.g., repositioning along the Blue Line by early 2025, with exceptions), but Israel has expanded or held positions amid ongoing tensions, strikes, and new operations into 2026.55a054

Context and Background
UN Resolution 1701 (2006) and the 2024 ceasefire called for Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon in parallel with Hezbollah moving north of the Litani River, Lebanese Armed Forces/UNIFIL deployment, and demilitarization of the south. Israel views Hezbollah's continued presence and capabilities as violations, justifying its hold on territory.b06ad2

Israel frames the retained areas as necessary "buffer zones" for border security after attacks from Hezbollah. Critics (including Lebanon, Hezbollah, some UN voices, and rights groups) call it occupation or forced displacement.4f5619

The situation remains fluid with fragile truces, sporadic clashes, and regional involvement (e.g., Iran, US). Deadlines for withdrawal (e.g., February 2025 extensions) have passed without full compliance.b7eff5

In short, Israel has not abandoned the captured/controlled land and senior leaders explicitly reject doing so at present. Developments can shift quickly with diplomacy or escalation. For the latest, check reliable news sources.

No Israel. Know Peace.

Where is Palestinistan and what are its agreed upon borders or boundaries? Anyway, I’m sure Lebanon is concerned about a Hezbollahistan like India is with a Khalistan, etc…

Shockingly shocking…not.

Yes, why would Israel possibly want the Strait of Hormuz closed when it’s subject to the same deeply integrated global economy as every other nation? Consequently, it suffers from the same inflationary pressures, slowed economic growth, and heightened geopolitical instability caused by the crisis.

Then there’s Dar al-Islam (the territory of Islam), but we’ve gone over that in days past in other threads. The core concept is that any territory once conquered by Muslims, or brought under Islamic governance, is considered a perpetual religious endowment (waqf) for all generations of Muslims like Spain or much of India.

Maybe Hezbollah needs to take Northern Israel as a buffer zone if Israel can't stay the fuck out of Lebanon?

Israel is the problem. Not Hamas, not Hezbollah and not the IRGC.

It's all on fascist empirical Israel.

They are not an ally or "our friends".
