To be effective, these war criminals have to visit one of the 124 states that signed the Rome Statute and that are ready to arrest the criminal or an action by the UNSC. The UNSC will not do anything because the U.S., the partner in the crime, will block any resolution against Israel.
This does not mean that issuing arrest warrants will not have a strong effect, as it will give more power to the pro-Palestinian mass movement.
We have already seen it in Quebec, and we will see it in other countries.
“Conference in Montreal. CRUES accused NATO of refusing aid to Palestinians and of approving of “the ongoing genocide. The main protest occurred at Concordia University in Montreal, but McGill and Dawson College students joined it. The latter canceled all classes on Thursday out of “concerns about the safety of students and employees on the day of the boycott,” Canadian News reported. Of the 85,000 strikers, 11,000 were Concordia students, coordinated by 11 student groups and one faculty group, according to the university’s The Link newspaper. According to CTV News, a protest leader led a chant saying, “Listen to the ICC,” which comes just after the court announced arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. One student told CTV News that the protest took up all 12 floors of the main Concordia building and that “Free Gaza” was spray painted on lockers. The protesters also distributed flyers” [1]
Now, the students’ role is to turn to the working class for joint actions of boycotting Israel.
For Palestine, red and free from the river to the sea!
