Lindsey Graham’s warning puts the spotlight particularly on America’s neighbor, the anti-Israel Justin Trudeau and his foreign minister Melanie Joly (who once posted a picture of herself arm-in-arm with jihadist Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas).
The world continues to be divided in two: those in support of the red green axis of evil and those in support of freedom.
“We will crush you”: Graham threatens allies with sanctions over Netanyahu arrest warrant,” by Griffin Eckstein, Salon, November 23, 2024:
Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham wants a forceful response to American allies who might comply with an international court order to arrest Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for the prime minister and former defense minister for “intentionally direct[ing] attacks against the civilian population of Gaza” on Wednesday. The United States is not a member of the ICC and the Biden administration dismissed the warrants as “outrageous” on Thursday.
The 124 member nations of the ICC could well arrest the Israeli leader and Gaza war architect if they set foot on their soil, a possibility Sen. Graham rebuked in on Friday while stopping by Fox News’ “Hannity.”
“If you are going to help the ICC, as a nation, enforce the arrest warrant against Bibi and Gallant, the former Defense Minister, I will put sanctionson you as a nation,” Graham warned. “You’re gonna have to pick the rogue ICC versus America.”
Graham added that he’s “working with Tom Cotton” on an act that would sanction any nation who aided in the arrest of “any politician in Israel.”…

“We will crush you”
says a RINO who’s always barking but never biting. Further, he’s in the legislative branch which would require him, who is one member of 100, to persuade the Senate, then the House, to put teeth into his proposed bite.
Why do SC voters send this guy to DC?

Precisely! If one wants the ultimate shape-shifter, it’s Lindsay Graham. Back in 2016, he was virulently anti-Trump, particularly after the San Bernardino massacre, and after Trump won, he switched to his side. Then in 2021, after January 6th, he turned on him again, and now he’s again switched to supporting him. I really wish he had been primaried back in 2018 by either Ralph Norman or Harlan Hill
Yeah, he’s always been on the right side on Israel, so I’ll grant him that. But he also seems to think that Iran is the sole villain in this picture, and that there are no islamic underpinnings to the jihad against either Israel nor the US. He’s a big NATO supporter, but I’ve never heard him speak out against either Turkey nor Qatar

Yes, another politician who never saw a war he didn’t want to start…. as long as he was sitting in Washington & didn’t have to fight in it himself.

“Lindsey Graham threatens allies with sanctions over Netanyahu arrest warrant: ‘We will crush you’”
The only people who condemn Hamas, for what happened in Gaza for their crimes and collapse of their houses and become a refugee are the people of Gaza.
I still do not understand what the evidence is the court had against Israel.
It’s a religious sentence not political
Why no one defend the people of Yemen, Somalia, Sudan.?
Because the other side is a Muslim not a Jewish.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.

They did not have evidence. They had political fairy tales presented by lawyers taken from corrupt NGOs.
This whole thing is political.

I don’t think it’s really true to say that Justin Trudeau is “anti-Israel”. He thinks, at least (whether he is thinking correctly or not) that he is being equitable: supporting Israel’s right to exist and its right to defend itself, and recognizing the justice of the Palestinian national cause. Mahmoud Abbas is seen as a de facto head of state by the Canadian government, even though Canada has never recognized the de facto existence of a country called Palestine. (One of the opposition parties in Canada’s parliament tried to coerce them into doing that recently, and the Trudeaus government found a way to resist it.) Like many countries today, Canada considers the Palestinian national cause to be legitimate and a quest for justice. They don’t consider doing that to be anti-Israel, with which country they maintain diplomatic relations.
Whether there is any wisdom in any of that is another question.

As a kid Justin Trudeau was constantly hearing his Mother referred to as a whore. He dislikes European, Old Stock Settlers as much as he does Jews.

Lindsey Graham opens his mouth when it makes him look important.
