Anti-Semite of the Week – Karim Khan Saves the World

The Anti-Semite Corner of the Week

Karim Khan Saves the World. From the Jews.

Instead of being a global model for military ethics, Israel is condemned as a war criminal. This is how it goes at the anti-Semitic court in The Hague, where hunting Jews takes precedence over all other considerations.

By: Anat Vidor, WIZO President

This week, the British gentleman “Karim Asad Ahmad Khan,” or simply put: the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, was once again prominent. As you may recall, with the outbreak of the war in Gaza, Khan also jumped into emergency mode: even before Israel responded to the pogrom, he had already declared, while trying to suppress complaints against him about sexual offenses, that he “began an investigation.”

But Khan wasn’t interested in investigating Hamas’s crimes, rather those of Israel in Gaza and the West Bank, going back ten years. As another “righteous one” said: the bloody attack “didn’t come from a vacuum.” Khan didn’t use his authority to investigate, say, the Tigray war in Ethiopia, where about 700,000 people died in the two years before he took office. Jewish crimes – those are the real thing.

Khan reached his life’s greatest achievement a year later, with the issuance of international arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant, a terror-supporting move that earns him at least 30-40 virgins in the afterlife. This week he rushed to defend this achievement against Israel’s appeal, and provided an explanation that says a lot. About him.

We’ll soon return to the diligent prosecutor who guards the world. But first, let’s see what else happened in the global village.

This week, armed pro-Turkish militias embarked on a campaign of killing and destruction on their way to Damascus, Russia in response bombed occupied cities from the air, alongside its routine activities to destroy Ukraine, which is arming itself with Western weapons that it fires deep into Russia, which caused Putin to lower his threshold conditions for using nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, he makes do with hypersonic bombs, and causes the US to install similar weapons in its naval vessels, while preparing to carry out a transfer without trial of hundreds of thousands of refugees who will be deported to Mexico.
Also this week: Tbilisi is burning on the verge of civil war, and Russia, seeking to take control of Georgia, threatens an invasion “Ukraine-style.” While Europe is becoming Islamized, Iran again threatens it with nuclear weapons, China conducts threatening maneuvers off Taiwan’s coast, North Korea sends hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight in Ukraine, while in South Korea complete chaos caused the president this week to declare martial law. In Myanmar, more than two million are displaced in the war between the army and rebels, and in Africa storms rage as usual: Eritrea, Egypt, and Somalia – on the brink of war with Ethiopia, where, unrelated, 90% of Tigray province residents face death by starvation. In Sudan millions are displaced and thousands killed in Darfur, with no solution in sight, in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso – similar situation, in Congo an epidemic that killed hundreds was discovered this week, for now. A partial list.

No wonder then that Khan works overtime investigating Jewish crimes. Because at the anti-Semitism court in The Hague, everything is a matter of politics and money, and like the arrest warrants issued against Israeli leaders, there are no limits to the hypocrisy and cynicism. Reality can be shaped through definitions: when it’s Iran, forces sent to slaughter Syrians are “security advisers,” and nuclear centrifuges are for peaceful purposes. But regarding Israel the definitions are different: a humanitarian corridor is a “transfer,” evacuating populations to safe zones is “ethnic cleansing,” and eliminating armed terrorists is “genocide.” “Israel is committing genocide” – a catchy phrase, but is it also true? When Egypt fled Gaza, 350,000 residents lived there in crowded camps full of hunger and poverty. 57 years later, 2.2 million Gazans live in that same area, with population movement over the years only going outward and not inward. If this is genocide, then Israel is the worst mass murderer in history!

And so, even thousands of aid trucks, the “knock on the roof” procedure, or strict legal oversight of military operations – don’t help. Israel is always at the top of the eager prosecutor’s mind. Instead of being a global model for military ethics, Israel is condemned as a war criminal. Instead of prosecuting the dysfunctional body that failed in its role to maintain global stability – they prosecute a country whose only desire is to deal with existential threats against it. Because Khan too doesn’t come from a vacuum, he knows who sent him and for what purpose he was sent.

This week, facing Israel’s appeal, the prosecutor rushed to announce that Jews have no right to appeal. The explanation he found will convince you too: according to Khan, the arrest warrants were issued under Article 58 of the Rome Statute, and therefore according to Article 82(1) subsection ‘a’ of the law, the decision is not in relation to jurisdiction. In other words: because you are Jews, there will always be found the technical article that abandons you to the mercy of the gentile.
