If Netanyahu and Gallant declared as war criminals, does it also mean whoever helped them during the 2024 is complicit?

Wondering what happens to so many Western leaders who supported Netanyahu unconditionally.

Technically yes, and a number of UK politicians are being mooted for investigation

Notably this admission by David Cameron, to knowledge of starvation is rather damning

that is a good question. we've seen folks from the Biden/Harris admin resign over military aid to Israel, and it appears the admin indeed was in violation of US law when said aid was given. could they face criminal charges for complicity? i find it hard to believe they had no idea what was going on.

another question i have regards the future: it appears the US is working on even more aid for Israel, see Bernie's latest attempt to prevent that. now that leadership in Israel has warrants out for them, will the US aid continue? certainly would be a bad look to continue aiding Israel at this point i reckon.

what an absolute tragic mess all around. i'm ashamed of our complicity, and sadly will not be surprised one bit if we continue giving them aid despite it all.

Biden/Harris, Starmer, Scholz and Macron have all been supplying Israel with arms, all whole knowing they are carrying out a genocide. The US has also had boots on the ground, and the UK has flown hundreds of spy and missions over Gaza. Meanwhile, they all give near carbon-copy press statements that read like they came straight from Israeli Hasbara.

They have knowingly supported and aided Israel, and I hope more warrants are forthcoming.

Come to think of it, plenty of journalists and media orgs are complicit too, such as the BBC.

Like the US congress giving an applause and a standing ovation.

I wish. The US government has been an absolute disgrace in how we've handled support of Israel unflinchingly. I guess we didn't write enough sternly written letters while people were being forcibly starved to death.

Unflinchingly? Biden did a lot to restrict military aid/sales if weapons that would likely have lots of collateral damage.
