Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew over Greece, Italy, France and Canada on Thursday on his way to address the UN, despite an International Criminal Court warrant for his arrest.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November 2024, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023.
Netanyahu arrived in the US for a short visit to address the UN General Assembly in New York, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said he does not have the authority to arrest the Israeli leader.

Their protests and the warrant are all for show. Even if he touched down in The Hague and walked into the ICC, they wouldn’t do a damn thing.
Mass murder accomplices.
In alternative news a political criminal was shot down over France after declining Canada’s stern request to use a different route.
must be from the harambe dimension
Link?
Why the upswing in the path? Why cross Canada at all just for the dominance? Or is there a reason?

This one’s better…~~https://liveflightstracker.com/blog/why-planes-sometimes-take-strange-routes/~~
Edit: I agree with xeroxcool below…
I was thinking that header image in the liveflightstracker link was AI Slop, then one of us had a stroke in the bottom left. Weather avoidance, geopolitical restrictions, air traffic control reroute, another geopolitical restrictions, and THEIS PERVES ON CONROLL MEFTIGN LIN£AION GARE OFFIANOSI/NE
Stick with the antipode link and the interactive map to understand the normal curve of a straight line across a sphere represented on a flat map. The liveflightstracker link just mentions a bunch of generic reasons, has no picture to help describe the flat/sphere translation, and adds nothing particularly useful to the route in question. The route takes a J shape where the initial leg is straight, not even slightly curved as it should be. The actual answer likely lies in some combination of standard flight routing and avoiding certain countries.
Agreed. Edited
I guess everyone’s scared that this applies defacto to Israel’s leader, courtesy of the USA, despite him not being American.
I doubt anyone is scared that it applies, and simply knows full well that it does apply.
Last time we picked someone up on an International Warrant we ended up in a huge clusterfuck with China. And the US simply ignored their own warrant and stuck us with her because they didn’t want to piss off China (apparently anyway).
Now imagine that clusterfuck except it’s entirely the current US Government. China at least operate like they’re adults for the most part, I don’t agree with them on basically anything, but they were not about to launch military attacks against us to get the Huawei CTO back. Now ask yourself, if we forced that plane to land, and arrested Netanyahu for the purpose of dragging his ass to the Hague, how will the current US Government respond?
I’d put money on them AT LEAST going down the same path they did in Venezuela, and use their military to kidnap both Netanyahu and likely kill/kidnap our leaders as well. What position do you think that would put Canada in? Do you believe NATO would assist us? Would that assistance matter at all against the US?
The simple answer is no one would assist us at all. Just like with China except with much more severe consequences for us.
Now lets take Canada out of it. How would the US respond if France, Italy, or Greece forced that plane to land for the same purposes of arresting Netanyahu? The answer is the same. Honestly the answer is likely the same even WITHOUT the current US Government.
They’re not our allies, and they do not abide by the rule of law. They’re bullies and the only thing they care about is money and power.
Ironic
The moral philosopher Peter Singer, along with Kenneth Roth,[5] has cited Israel’s prosecution of Adolf Eichmann in 1961 as an assertion of universal jurisdiction. He claims that while Israel did invoke a statute specific to Nazi crimes against Jews, its Supreme Court claimed universal jurisdiction over crimes against humanity.[59]
Eichmann’s defense lawyer argued that Israel did not have jurisdiction on account of Israel not having come into existence until 1948. The Genocide Convention also did not come into effect until 1951, and the Genocide Convention does not automatically provide for universal jurisdiction. It is also argued that Israeli agents obtained Eichmann illegally, violating international law when they seized and kidnapped Eichmann, and brought him to Israel to stand trial. The Argentinian government settled the dispute diplomatically with Israel.[60]
Israel argued universal jurisdiction based on the “universal character of the crimes in question” and that the crimes committed by Eichmann were not only in violation of Israel law, but were considered “grave offenses against the law of nations itself”.[60] It also asserted that the crime of genocide is covered under international customary law. As a supplemental form of jurisdiction, a further argument is made on the basis of protective jurisdiction. Protective jurisdiction is a principle that “provides that states may exercise jurisdiction over aliens who have committed an act abroad which is deemed prejudicial to the security of the particular state concerned”.[60]
The truth is, the nazis lost. And then were brought to the victory justice.
Israel hasn’t lost yet.
The Internationality hast always been a farce and effectively was 'mis’used to pave the way for the Western Empire.
Which became(?) the Empire of Pedophelia. That is the freedom people now die for: that rich bastards have the freedom to rape children.
Holy American exceptionalism!
The Carney liberals are corrupt!
Agreed, they are handling Trump correctly, but that’s pretty much the only good point I can give them. They also want to pass a law that would be disastrous for web privacy
Reminder for readers, the surveillance law is called bill c-22.
Yes people in Western countries are too busy watching cat videos on tiktok, opening loot crates or purchasing labubus to respond to genocide. wtf century u in?
“to see” as if they don’t request it ahead of time. I don’t know what’s worse, that they think people are morons with this bullshit lip service or the actual morons that would defend the current administration because “it’s unpatriotic and we have to stand by the government during the attacks from the US”.
