Donald Trump has admitted that the US’ attempt to destroy the International Criminal Court (ICC) is about protecting wanted Israel’s Prime Minister and wanted war criminal, Benjamin β€˜Bibi’ Netanyahu.

Trump makes admission at press conference

Trump’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio first tried to spin a tale about US sovereignty and a supposedly arrogant court. But Trump blew his confection out of the water in one sentence, as journalist Ahmed Eldin spotted.

At a White House press conference on Friday (31 July), the US president said that they’re not β€œafter me”, but that it was about β€œprotecting Bibi”.

Like pretty much everything he does, then.

Just as Trump is destroying international law to protect the genocidal settler state and its criminal leaders, Keir Starmer is destroying UK laws and rights. And his successor Andy Burnham shows no sign of slowing down that war.
