Americans support Netanyahu arrest by 22-point margin

The Hill is reporting that "Nearly half of Americans believer the U.S. should arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his actions in Israel’s war in Gaza, according to a new poll from The Economist/YouGov."

"When asked if the U.S. should enforce an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Netanyahu, 49 percent of respondents in the poll said “yes,” while 27 percent said “no” and 23 percent were unsure."

"The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November 2024, accusing him of using starvation as a method of warfare and committing crimes against humanity, including murder and persecution. It also alleges that the prime minister intentionally directed an attack against the civilian population in Gaza."

This is a dangerous precedent. Netanyahu is a POS but handing over power to an International court is a bad idea with a bad agenda behind it. When we talk about balancing the extremes a more logical response would be to cut off All funding to Israel including military funding since Netanyahu is using that funding to commit atrocities. Margaret Thatcher did it in 1982 when Israel invaded Lebanon. There is no reason we can't do the same thing now.
