France was among the first states that announced they would uphold the court’s decision, although officials have not explicitly said they would arrest Netanyahu.

However, the ministry on Wednesday alleged that Netanyahu is covered by immunity as a sitting head of government because Israel is not a member of the ICC. It is the first time a member of the court has argued this in Netanyahu’s case.

France’s argument was previously used by states that refused to arrest Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Omar al-Bashir of Sudan. But the court has consistently rejected those arguments as unfounded.

    “currently”

    they always have been. what’s changed is our awareness. and the ruling class doesn’t like that awareness. so they’ve tuned the algoithms to break it, bought twitter, pumped the internet with rage from russian troll farms, astroturfed everything with ai slop, and broke web search and our ability to find anything.

    the worst part is, it seems to be working. gen z had more access to truth than any generation before, but instead they only got propaganda. they got prageru kids, they got a youtube altgorithm that “randomly” pushed nazi shit, they got social media platforms that disencentivize engaging on issues
