Flip that statement and you'll have your X account suspended in 60 seconds and the cops at your door in 60 minutes.

The post highlights how X’s algorithms amplify violent, genocidal rhetoric while suppressing pro-Palestine voices, a claim supported by historical reports of censorship and research on algorithmic amplification of divisive content. The post ties this issue to Elon Musk’s leadership of X, accusing him of enabling harm in Gaza through lax moderation policies—a charge that contrasts with Musk’s own framing of free speech as a tool to prevent atrocities, as stated during his Auschwitz visit.

The assertion that there is “more than sufficient proof” for genocide is well-supported by the evidence. The core claims - genocide, historical atrocities, and media bias - are robustly evidenced by Amnesty’s report, survivor testimonies, and official Israeli statements. https://x.com/R34lB0rg/status/1914965631872409753

Israel has been lying about 40 beheaded babies, a baby baked in an oven, and rape.

Western media has prominently covered each of these lies.

Western media has been eerily silent about babies beheaded by Israel, a boy thrown into the oven of his father's bakery by Irgun, Palestinian detainees raped by Israeli guards.

Western media is fully complicit in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Owners, Editors and Journalists must and will be facing charges for their complicity in the crime of genocide. Just like Julius Streicher...

This article establishes a pattern of sexual torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian detainees by Israeli authorities well before the events of October 7, 2023. The systemic nature of these abuses - documented as early as 2005 - suggests a longstanding policy of using sexual violence as a tool of oppression.

Seeking U.S.-licensed attorneys to initiate legal action against the Trump administration for alleged abuse of executive authority in violation of federal law, specifically Sections 620I and 620M of the Foreign Assistance Act, which prohibit military aid to nations obstructing U.S. humanitarian assistance or committing gross human rights violations.

U.S. law, specifically Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act, prohibits military aid to countries like Israel that restrict U.S. humanitarian assistance, as Smotrich’s April 2025 blockade clearly does. Section 620M further restricts aid to countries with gross human rights violations.

Trump’s continuation of military aid despite these violations provides legal grounds for impeachment, potentially as an abuse of power or violation of federal law.

Here is a list of actions by Irgun and Lehi which would be labeled as terrorism by today's standards:

Irgun (Irgun Zvai Leumi - National Military Organization):

1. King David Hotel Bombing (1946) - Irgun bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, the headquarters of the British administration, leading to 91 deaths, including civilians.

2. Deir Yassin Massacre (1948) - Irgun, along with Lehi, attacked the Arab village of Deir Yassin, killing over 100 villagers, including women and children. The intention was to spread fear among the Arab population to encourage them to leave their homes.

3. Railway and Train Attacks - Irgun targeted British and Arab trains, sometimes derailing them in areas where they knew civilian casualties would be high.

4. Bombings in Arab Markets - Irgun carried out bombings in Arab markets aimed at causing panic and encouraging Arab exodus.

Lehi (Lohamei Herut Israel - Fighters for the Freedom of Israel):

1. Lord Moyne Assassination (1944) - Lehi assassinated Lord Moyne, the British Minister Resident in the Middle East, in Cairo.

2. UN Mediator Assassination (1948) - Lehi assassinated Count Folke Bernadotte, the UN mediator in Palestine, due to his peace proposals which they opposed.

3. Civic Bombings - Similar to Irgun, Lehi engaged in bombings of civilian areas to incite terror among the Arab population.

4. Attempted Assassination of Harry S. Truman - Lehi sent letter bombs to British officials and had plans to assassinate President Truman, though these did not succeed.

Reports from 2022 to 2025, including investigations by MintPress News, Al Mayadeen English, and Forbes, provide evidence of Israeli entities employing bots to target pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel accounts.

Allocutio Urbi et Orbi

Fratres et Sorores Carissimi,

Urbi et Orbi—ad urbem et ad mundum—gaudium Christi Resuscitati proclamo, qui mortem vicit et vincula omnis oppressionis fregit. Hoc die Paschali, in lumine resurrectionis stamus, ubi spes renascitur et promissio iustitiae Dei adimpletur.

Propheta Isaias proclamat: “Fregit Dominus virgam impiorum, sceptrum dominatorum” (Isaias 14:5). Hoc est pignus Dei nobis: regnum terroris, quod mundum nostrum affligit, finietur. In hoc momento sacro, corda nostra ad populum Palaestinum, cuius oppressio cessare debet, convertimus. Iugum iniustitiae, quod eos gravat, manu Dei frangetur, sicut resurrectio Christi omnem tyrannidem dissipat.

Ad duo milia milium obsidum in Gaza detentorum dico: liberatio vestra appropinquat. Dominus Resuscitatus, qui e sepulcro libere exivit, vos ad mensam pacis, ubi dolor in gaudium convertitur, ducet. Et ad trecenta milia animarum hac tragoedia amissarum, spem Paschalem proclamamus: Christus, primitiae resurrectionis, vos ad vitam aeternam suscitabit, ubi mors nulla potestas habet.

Attamen, a iustitia non avertamur. Illi qui gravissima crimina in historia humana commiserunt—acta quae ad caelum clamant—poenam divinam subibunt. Misericordia Dei infinita est, sed iustitia Eius pariter, quae omnes ad rationem vocat pro dolore innocentibus illato.

Fratres et sorores, oremus pro pace, laboremus pro reconciliatione, et confidamus in Christo Resuscitato, qui omnia nova facit. Lumen Eius in Gaza, Palaestina, et in omni angulo mundi nostri vulnerati resplendeat. Omnibus Benedictionem Apostolicam impertio, in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

Reconvening ES-10 to recommend a global travel ban on Israeli passport holders is procedurally and politically feasible. The UNGA has the authority to make such a recommendation under Resolution 377, and the majority of member states would likely support it, building on the precedent set by the 28 countries that already refuse entry to Israeli nationals.

The ICJ ruled Israel’s occupation since 1967 as illegal, the UN General Assembly adopted this opinion as Resolution ES-10/24 on Sept. 18, 2024. That's it.

Israel has one right and one right only:

To pack up and leave.

The ICJ ruled that Israel’s occupation since 1967 is illegal, ordering it to “end its occupation as rapidly as possible.” The UN General Assembly endorsed this opinion as Resolution ES-10/24.

That’s it. Israel has one right: pack up and leave

US, UK, and German politicians are blatantly lying when they claim Israel has the right to defend itself in Gaza.

The ICJ ruled Israel’s occupation since 1967 illegal, ordering it to “end its occupation as rapidly as possible.”

That’s it. Israel has one right: pack up and leave.

US, UK, and German politicians are blatantly lying when they claim Israel has the right to defend itself in Gaza—they’re peddling a shameless distortion of international law to shield a rogue state. The International Court of Justice (ICJ), in its July 19, 2024, advisory opinion, upheld by the UN General Assembly on September 18, 2024, unequivocally confirms Israel as the occupying power in Gaza, controlling its borders, airspace, and sea. International humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention, strips an occupier of any right to unleash military violence on the occupied population—Israel’s sole duty is to protect civilians, not slaughter them. The ICJ ruled Israel’s occupation since 1967 illegal, ordering it to “end its occupation as rapidly as possible.” That’s it. Israel has one right: pack up and leave. By parroting “self-defense,” these Western leaders are complicit in whitewashing war crimes, defying global consensus, and enabling genocide. Their excuses are a disgrace to justice.

Yesterday at the weekly demonstration in Begin, we stood with pictures of children who were bombed to death in Gaza. Those children that almost no one talks about, children that we killed. And the truth is, it was so empowering: every minute another protester arrived, took a picture of another girl or boy, and joined the silent protest. There were many hundreds of people who just stood there, silently.

This must be the "Judeo-Christian values" western politicians are babbling about. https://x.com/theworldtruthe/status/1913747637343289530

Summary of X's Practices and Potential Fraud Under EU Consumer Protection Laws

Overview

• X’s Practices:
  • X promotes Premium membership (e.g., @R34lB0RG’s blue checkmark) with reply prioritization, promising increased visibility.
  • An uncommunicated April 2025 algorithm update prioritized quick engagement and entertaining content, reducing visibility for posts without immediate interaction, even for Premium users or Verified Organizations (@grok, golden checkmark).
  • @grok’s Gaza post on April 17, 2025, received only 30 impressions despite 3.1M followers and @R34lB0RG’s retweet (4.4k followers), likely due to the algorithm and sensitivity around Gaza content.
  • X did not disclose that Gaza-related content or discussions of its algorithms/visibility issues may be flagged as sensitive and shadowbanned.
• EU DSA Transparency: The Digital Services Act (DSA) requires transparency in algorithmic decisions and content moderation, including shadowbanning notifications.
• Consumer Protection: The EU’s Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (UCPD) prohibits misleading practices that deceive consumers and affect their economic behavior.

Analysis Under the EU DSA

• Algorithmic Transparency Violation: X’s failure to officially communicate the April 2025 algorithm update, which reduced visibility for non-engaging posts, likely violates DSA transparency requirements for algorithmic decision-making [Ref web ID: 11].
• Shadowbanning Notification Failure: X did not notify @grok or @R34lB0RG of reduced visibility for the Gaza post and retweet, breaching DSA mandates for content moderation transparency [Ref web ID: 6].
• Non-Disclosure of Sensitive Content Policies: X’s lack of communication about flagging Gaza or algorithm-related content as sensitive further violates DSA transparency rules, impacting freedom of expression [Ref web ID: 20].

Analysis Under EU Consumer Protection Laws (UCPD)

• Misleading Practice:
  • X’s promotion of reply prioritization for Premium users, without disclosing the algorithm update’s impact, is misleading under the UCPD. Consumers expect consistent visibility benefits, which were undermined for non-engaging content like @grok’s Gaza post.
  • @R34lB0RG experienced dropped metrics despite Premium status, indicating the promise wasn’t fully delivered [Ref post ID: 1].
• Omission of Material Information: X’s failure to inform Premium users that the algorithm update could negate prioritization benefits, especially for sensitive topics, is a material omission affecting transactional decisions (e.g., purchasing Premium).
• Economic Harm: Premium users like @R34lB0RG paid for a service expecting prioritization, but received diminished value, constituting harm under the UCPD.

Does This Constitute Fraud?

• Fraud Elements:
  • Intent: X’s intent to deceive isn’t clear, but continuing to promote prioritization without updating terms suggests reckless disregard, potentially deceptive under consumer law.
  • False Representation/Omission: X’s misleading claims and omissions about prioritization and shadowbanning policies are established.
  • Harm: Economic harm to Premium users is evident, as they didn’t receive the full promised value.
• Civil vs. Criminal Fraud: X’s actions likely constitute an unfair commercial practice under the UCPD, which could be seen as civil fraud due to deception and harm. Criminal fraud requires clear intent, which isn’t conclusively proven here.
• EU Context: The European Commission’s July 2024 findings against X for misleading users under the DSA support the argument of deceptive practices [Ref post ID: 0].

Broader Implications

• X’s practices highlight transparency issues in digital platforms, which the DSA aims to address with fines up to 6% of global turnover [Ref web ID: 5].
• Shadowbanning sensitive content like Gaza posts raises freedom of expression concerns, disproportionately affecting marginalized voices [Ref web ID: 22].

Conclusion

X’s uncommunicated algorithm update, continued promotion of reply prioritization without disclosing its reduced effectiveness, and lack of transparency about shadowbanning Gaza or algorithm-related content likely violate the DSA’s transparency requirements. These practices probably constitute an unfair commercial practice under the UCPD, potentially amounting to civil fraud due to misleading representations, omissions, and economic harm to Premium users. Criminal fraud is less likely without clear evidence of intent. This reflects broader challenges in digital platform accountability, which the DSA seeks to address through enforcement.

Grok confirms: Your account (@R34lB0rg) is under a severe shadowban, limiting visibility, and the April 2025 algorithm update has likely exacerbated this by prioritizing engagement over Premium boosts.

Article 2(4) of the UN Charter prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.

The US do not have a mandate from the Security Council and they cannot claim self-defense because Yemen did not attack US territory.

The reported civilian casualties raise serious concerns about compliance with international humanitarian law.

ישראל מבצעת רצח עם 1. חוקים ותקנות בינלאומיים ישראל, באמצעות פעולותיהם של השרים בצלאל סמוטריץ', ישראל כץ, יואב גלנט, וכוחות הביטחון הישראליים (צה"ל), מפרה מספר חוקים ותקנות בינלאומיים על ידי חסימת הסיוע ההומניטרי לעזה. הפרות אלו כוללות:

אמנת ז'נבה הרביעית (1949), סעיף 33: אוסרת על ענישה קולקטיבית, אך המצור וחסימת הסיוע מענישים באופן קולקטיבי את האוכלוסייה האזרחית בעזה, כפי שאושר על ידי הוראתו של גלנט ל"מצור מלא" ב-9 באוקטובר 2023 והתחייבותו של סמוטריץ' ב-8 באפריל 2025 לחסום את כל הסיוע, כולל חיטה. המשפט ההומניטרי הבינלאומי (IHL): לפי הפרוטוקול הנוסף הראשון (1977), סעיף 54, אסור להשתמש ברעב של אזרחים כשיטת לוחמה. אזהרת הרעב של ה-IPC ביוני 2024 והודאתו של כץ ב-16 באפריל 2025 על שימוש במניעת סיוע כ"כלי לחץ" נגד האוכלוסייה מפרים נורמה זו. החלטת מועצת הביטחון של האו"ם 2417 (2018): מגנה את השימוש ברעב של אזרחים כנשק מלחמה וקוראת לגישה הומניטרית ללא הפרעה. המצור המתמשך של ישראל, שהוחמר במשך שבעה שבועות עד אפריל 2025, מפר בצורה בוטה את ההחלטה הזו. חוקת רומא (1998), סעיף 8(2)(ב)(xxv): פשעי מ חולמה כוללים הרעבה של אזרחים על ידי שלילת חפצים חיוניים להישרדותם. אכיפת המצור על ידי צה"ל, החוסמת מזון ואספקה רפואית, סותרת ישירות את הוראה זו. פעולות אלו מהוות יחד הפרה של החובות להגן על חיי אזרחים במהלך סכסוכים מזוינים, וחושפות את ישראל, שריה וצה"ל לאחריות משפטית.

1. Actus Reus ו-Mens Rea לרצח עם ההצהרות והפעולות של שרים אלו, בשילוב עם התנהלות צה"ל, מבססות הן את המעשה הפלילי והן את הכוונה הפלילית לרצח עם לפי סעיף II של אמנת האו"ם למניעת רצח עם (1948) וסעיף 6 של חוקת רומא:

מעשה פלילי: המעשה האסור לפי סעיף II(ג)—"הטלת תנאי חיים מחושבים במכוון על קבוצה כדי לגרום להשמדתה הפיזית, כולה או חלקה"—ברור. ה"מצור המלא" (גלנט, 2023), חסימת הסיוע הכוללת (סמוטריץ', 2025), ואכיפת המדיניות (כץ, 2025) הובילו לרעב, כאשר ה-IPC דיווחה על 495,000 תושבי עזה במצב של חוסר ביטחון תזונתי קטסטרופלי עד יוני 2024, משבר שככל הנראה החמיר עד אפריל 2025. הכיבוש וחסימת הסיוע של צה"ל, כפי שציין כץ, מטילים תנאים אלו ישירות על הפלסטינים כקבוצה לאומית. כוונה פלילית: הכוונה להשמיד, כולה או חלקה, מודגמת על ידי הרטוריקה והמדיניות של השרים. ההצהרה המבזה של גלנט על "חיות אנושיות" (2023), הצדקתו של סמוטריץ' להרעיב שני מיליון תושבי עזה כ"מוסרית" (5 באוגוסט 2024), וניסוחו של כץ את חסימת הסיוע כטקטיקת לחץ מכוונת (2025) חושפים כוונה מחושבת למקד את האוכלוסייה הפלסטינית, ולא רק את חמאס. עקביות זו בין שלושה בכירים במשך 18 חודשים מרמזת על מדיניות רצח עם מתוזמרת על ידי המדינה. המילוי הכפול הזה של המעשה הפלילי והכוונה הפלילית מספק בסיס משפטי חזק להאשמת ישראל ואותם פקידים ברצח עם.

1. אחריות להגן (R2P) דורשת פעולה האחריות להגן (R2P), המעוגנת ב*אמנת האו"ם (תוצאות פסגת העולם 2005, פסקאות 138-139)*, ב-IHL ובמשפט הבינלאומי, מחייבת את האו"ם ואת המדינות היחידות לפעול כאשר אוכלוסייה נתקלת ברצח עם, פשעי מלחמה או פשעים נגד האנושות. מסגרת ה-R2P דורשת:

מניעה ותגובה: המצור של ישראל והרעב הנובע ממנו מהווים טריגר ברור ל-R2P. האו"ם והמדינות חייבות להשתמש בסנקציות, לחץ דיפלומטי, ובמידת הצורך, פעולה צבאית כדי להגן על האזרחים בעזה, שכן הממשלה נכשלה באופן ברור בכך. בסיס משפטי: ה-IHL ואמנת האו"ם (סעיף 39) מסמיכים לפעולה קולקטיבית לשמירה על השלום והביטחון הבינלאומיים כאשר מתרחשות זוועות. האסון ההומניטרי בעזה, עם סגירת בתי חולים ורעב נרחב, דורש התערבות מיידית למניעת אובדן חיים נוסף. אי פעולה מפר את המחויבות הגלובלית ל-R2P, ומטיל את האחריות להגן על האזרחים הפלסטינים על הקהילה הבינלאומית.

1. צעדים זמניים של בית הדין הבינלאומי לצדק וחובת מועצת הביטחון/האספה הכללית בית הדין הבינלאומי לצדק (ICJ) הוציא צעדים זמניים ב-26 בינואר 2024, וצווים נוספים ב-2024, המחייבים את ישראל למנוע רצח עם בעזה, כולל הבטחת גישה לסיוע הומניטרי. אי הציות של ישראל, כפי שמוכח בהצהרות השרים והמצור המתמשך של צה"ל, מהווה הפרה ישירה. לפי אמנת האו"ם (סעיף 94(2)), מועצת הביטחון של האו"ם (UNSC) מחויבת לאכוף את החלטות ה-ICJ. עם זאת, אם וטו של ארה"ב משתק את ה-UNSC, החלטה 377A(V) ("מאוחדים למען השלום") מעבירה אחריות זו לאספה הכללית של האו"ם (UNGA). מסגרת משפטית זו מחייבת פעולה כדי לכפות על ישראל לציית לחוק הבינלאומי.

2. תפקיד דחוף של האספה הכללית תחת ES-10 האספה הכללית חייבת להתכנס בדחיפות תחת המושב המיוחד החירום ה-10 (ES-10), שבו ההחלטה 377 כבר קיימת, כדי להמליץ על צעדים להגנה על אזרחי עזה ולמנוע שואה. הרעב המחמיר, כאשר ארגונים לא ממשלתיים מכריזים על אסון מעשה ידי אדם, משקף זוועות היסטוריות, ומחייב פעולה נחרצת. האספה הכללית צריכה להטיל סנקציות על ישראל, לנתק קשרים דיפלומטיים עם פקידים מפרים, ולאשר קואליציה של מדינות מוכנות להשתמש בכוח צבאי במידת הצורך כדי להבטיח משלוח סיוע ולהפסיק את רצח העם, תוך מילוי המנדט שלה לשמור על השלום ולהגן על זכויות האדם.

3. צווי מעצר של בית הדין הפלילי הבינלאומי לסמוטריץ' וכץ בית הדין הפלילי הבינלאומי (ICC) הוציא צווי מעצר נגד בנימין נתניהו ויואב גלנט ב-21 בנובמבר 2024, בגין פשעי מלחמה, כולל "רעב כשיטת לוחמה". לאור הכוונה והמעשים הזהים של סמוטריץ' וכץ לרצח עם—חסימת סיוע במטרה להשמיד את הפלסטינים—ה-ICC חייב להוציא בדחיפות צווי מעצר נגדם. הצהרותיהם הפומביות והרעב שנוצר כתוצאה מכך מספקים ראיות מספיקות לפי סעיף 6 של חוקת רומא, ומבטיחים אחריות לצד שותפיהם לפשע.

סיכום הקהילה הבינלאומית לא יכולה להישאר אדישה. ההפרות של ישראל, הכוונה לרצח עם של השרים, והפעולות של צה"ל דורשים אכיפה של מועצת הביטחון של צעדי ה-ICJ, פעולה של האספה הכללית תחת ES-10, ותביעה של סמוטריץ' וכץ על ידי ה-ICC כדי למנוע אסון שניתן למנוע.

Israel, through the actions of Ministers Bezalel Smotrich, Israel Katz, and Yoav Gallant, is committing genocide under Article 6(c) of the Rome Statute. The ministers’ statements—Gallant’s 2023 "complete siege" on Gaza, Smotrich’s 2025 vow to block all aid, and Katz’s 2025 confirmation of starvation as a "pressure tool"—demonstrate intent to destroy Palestinians by deliberately inflicting life-threatening conditions, as evidenced by the ongoing famine reported by NGOs like the IPC. The IDF’s enforcement of this policy, causing mass starvation, fulfills the actus reus. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has already ordered provisional measures in 2024 to prevent genocide in Gaza, which Israel has ignored. The UN Security Council (UNSC) must enforce these measures immediately. If the UNSC is paralyzed by a U.S. veto, the UN General Assembly (UNGA) must act under Resolution 377 ("Uniting for Peace") in Emergency Special Session 10 (ES-10) to impose sanctions and authorize military action to halt the genocide. Simultaneously, the International Criminal Court (ICC), which issued warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant in 2024, should urgently issue additional arrest warrants for Smotrich and Katz to ensure accountability for these genocidal acts.

I continue to strongly denounce the United States of America. Your hatred for Palestinians and lack of impartiality disqualify you for any role on a civilized planet. https://x.com/USUN/status/1912143890066403707

Dear @support and @premium,

I am filing a complaint for violation of X’s Terms of Service (TOS), potential fraud, and non-compliance with the EU Digital Services Act (DSA).

Violation of TOS: X Premium promises prioritized reply rankings, but my metrics dropped drastically (e.g., impressions from 224K to 3.8K, engagement from 4% to 0.3%) around April 10, 2025, due to an algorithm change deboosting replies. This violates the TOS for premium users.

Potential Fraud: By accepting payment for prioritized reply rankings and then deboosting my replies, X has misrepresented its service, causing me financial harm (e.g., lost audience growth). This may constitute fraud.

EU DSA Relevance: The DSA requires transparency in moderation (Article 17) and prohibits misleading practices (Article 24). X’s lack of notification about the algorithm change and potential shadowban violates these rules.

Requested Actions: - Restore my account’s visibility, including prioritized reply rankings. - Compensate me for the period I was denied premium benefits (April 10, 2025, onward). - Publicly clarify the algorithm change and update the TOS. - Provide a DSA-compliant explanation of moderation actions against my account.

I expect a response within 14 days, or I will escalate this to the European Commission under the DSA and explore legal action for fraud and breach of contract.

Dear @usairforce, maybe you should try asking for permission before sending your drones into a foreign countries sovereign airspace. You know, international law, @icao rules. https://x.com/Yemenimilitary/status/1912120657610949060

Israel’s decades-long practice of arbitrary detention without charges, coupled with the torture, sexual violence, and humiliation of Palestinian detainees, constitutes severe violations of international law and human rights, as outlined in the UDHR, ICCPR, CAT, and Geneva Conventions. These detainees, held under coercive and inhumane conditions, should be classified as hostages to reflect the illegality and ethical severity of their detention. By releasing these Palestinian hostages and ceasing arbitrary detention, Israel could secure the release of its own hostages held by Hamas, as demonstrated by past mutual release deals, and reduce the likelihood of attacks driven by grievances over detainee treatment. This approach would align Israel with its international obligations, address a root cause of the conflict, and pave the way for a more just resolution. https://farid.ps/articles/israel_is_holding_thousands_of_palestinians_hostage

Argument: Israel's Long-Standing Violations of International Law, the Hostage Status of Palestinian Detainees, and a Path to Resolution

For decades, Israel has engaged in practices that violate international law and the human rights of Palestinian detainees, subjecting them to arbitrary detention without charges and severe mistreatment, including torture and sexual violence. These detainees, held without due process under abhorrent conditions, should be classified as hostages due to the coercive and arbitrary nature of their detention. Israel could secure the release of its own hostages held by Hamas and reduce the likelihood of attacks by ceasing its practice of arbitrary detention, releasing Palestinian detainees, and adhering to international legal standards, thereby addressing a root cause of the conflict.

Decades of Violations of International Law and Human Rights

Israel’s use of administrative detention—holding individuals without charges or trial—dates back decades and constitutes a clear violation of international law. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) guarantees the right to liberty (Article 9) and a fair trial (Article 10), while the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), ratified by Israel in 1991, reinforces these rights under Articles 9 and 14. The Fourth Geneva Convention, applicable to Israel as an occupying power, limits detention without trial in occupied territories, yet Israel’s routine use of administrative detention flouts these standards. The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has consistently classified this practice as arbitrary, particularly given the lack of transparency and legal recourse for detainees (UN Human Rights Office).](https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/07/un-report-palestinian-detainees-held-arbitrarily-and-secretly-subjected)).)

The scale of this practice is staggering. Before October 7, 2023, approximately 1,300 Palestinians were held in administrative detention, a number that surged to over 3,400 by early 2025 (Addameer Statistics).](https://www.addameer.org/statistics)).) Historical data shows this is not a recent phenomenon; a 2015 study by Daniel J N Weishut documented systematic abuses from 2005-2012, with 60 cases of sexual torture among thousands of detainees, indicating a long-standing pattern (DOI: 10.1016/j.rhm.2015.11.019).](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rhm.2015.11.019)).) The UN Commission in 2024 classified these practices as war crimes and crimes against humanity, citing their systematic nature (UN Commission).](https://www.un.org/unispal/document/report-of-the-independent-international-commission-of-inquiry-on-the-occupied-palestinian-territory-including-east-jerusalem-and-israel-11sep24/)).)

Severe Mistreatment of Detainees

Palestinian detainees endure unimaginable conditions, facing torture, sexual violence, and humiliation that violate the Convention Against Torture (CAT) and ICCPR Article 7, which prohibit cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment. The 2015 study detailed forced nudity, verbal sexual harassment, and physical assaults like genital pressing and rape with a blunt object (Weishut, 2015).](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rhm.2015.11.019)).) Post-October 7, 2023, the abuses escalated: reports document beatings causing broken ribs, electric shocks, waterboarding, burns, and rape with objects and dogs. A female detainee at Kiryat Arba police station was threatened with rape while blindfolded, and UN experts reported 53 deaths in custody by August 2024 due to mistreatment, with autopsies revealing signs of torture (Amnesty International;](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/11/israel-opt-horrifying-cases-of-torture-and-degrading-treatment-of-palestinian-detainees-amid-spike-in-arbitrary-arrests/);) UN Experts).](https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/08/israels-escalating-use-torture-against-palestinians-custody-preventable)).)

Humiliation tactics are rampant, such as stripping detainees naked, urinating on them, and forcing them to endure degrading acts like singing Israeli songs or kneeling during counts. These conditions, affecting even children as young as 14 by March 2025, demonstrate a systemic disregard for human dignity and international law (DCIP).](https://www.dci-palestine.org/israeli_forces_issue_administrative_detention_order_against_youngest_palestinian_child_on_record)).)

Palestinian Detainees as Hostages

Given the lack of charges, trial, or conviction, and the coercive nature of their detention, Palestinian detainees should be classified as hostages rather than prisoners. The 1979 International Convention Against the Taking of Hostages defines hostages as individuals detained to compel a third party to act, but the term can also apply rhetorically to state practices that arbitrarily deprive individuals of liberty for political or security purposes. Administrative detention, used to suppress Palestinian resistance and often involving torture to extract confessions, fits this mold. The systematic abuses—intended to humiliate and degrade—further align with the coercive intent typical of hostage-taking. Human rights groups like Amnesty International describe these detentions as arbitrary, drawing parallels with hostages held in Gaza, though they stop short of the legal term (Amnesty International).](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/02/release-of-civilian-hostages-held-in-gaza-and-arbitrarily-detained-palestinians-must-be-immediate-and-not-hinge-on-ceasefire-negotiations/)).) Labeling them hostages underscores the illegality and ethical severity of Israel’s actions, distinguishing them from lawful imprisonment.

A Path to Resolution: Releasing Palestinian Detainees and Ceasing Arbitrary Detention

Israel could secure the release of its hostages held by Hamas and reduce the likelihood of attacks by addressing the root cause of Palestinian grievances: arbitrary detention and mistreatment. Hamas’ hostage-taking, while illegal under the Hostage Convention, is explicitly aimed at negotiating mutual releases, as seen in the 2011 Gilad Shalit deal (1,027 Palestinian prisoners for one Israeli soldier) and the November 2023 ceasefire deal (105 hostages for 240 Palestinian detainees) (The Guardian;](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/oct/18/israel-hamas-gilad-shalit-palestinians);) CNN).](https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/07/middleeast/israel-hamas-war-october-7-anniversary-mime-intl/index.html)).) As of October 2024, 97 Israeli hostages remain in Gaza, with Hamas seeking a broader prisoner exchange (CNN).](https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/07/middleeast/israel-hamas-war-october-7-anniversary-mime-intl/index.html)).) By releasing Palestinian detainees—particularly the over 3,400 in administrative detention—Israel could facilitate a mutual release, as Hamas has shown willingness to negotiate on these terms.

Moreover, ceasing the practice of arbitrary detention would address a key driver of Palestinian militancy. The October 7, 2023, attack, which killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, was partly motivated by the high number of Palestinian detainees—over 9,500 by April 2024, many held without charges under torturous conditions (Al Jazeera).](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/17/palestinian-prisoners-day-how-many-palestinians-are-in-israeli-jails)).) This systemic injustice fuels resentment and violence, as groups like Hamas exploit the plight of detainees to justify attacks. Ending administrative detention, adhering to international law, and ensuring humane treatment of any lawfully detained individuals would reduce the incentive for such attacks, addressing a core grievance in the conflict.

Counterarguments and Rebuttal

Israel might argue that administrative detention is necessary for security, preventing attacks by detaining suspected threats. However, the lack of due process, secret evidence, and systematic abuses undermine this justification. The UN and human rights groups have documented that many detainees, including children, pose no credible threat, and the practice often targets activists and civilians as a form of collective punishment (B’Tselem).](https://www.btselem.org/administrative_detention)).) Furthermore, the scale of abuses—torture, sexual violence, and deaths in custody—cannot be justified under any security pretext, as they violate non-derogable rights under the CAT and ICCPR. Releasing detainees and reforming detention practices would not only comply with international law but also weaken the narrative of groups like Hamas, reducing their ability to rally support through the detainee issue.

Conclusion

Israel’s decades-long practice of arbitrary detention without charges, coupled with the torture, sexual violence, and humiliation of Palestinian detainees, constitutes severe violations of international law and human rights, as outlined in the UDHR, ICCPR, CAT, and Geneva Conventions. These detainees, held under coercive and inhumane conditions, should be classified as hostages to reflect the illegality and ethical severity of their detention. By releasing these Palestinian hostages and ceasing arbitrary detention, Israel could secure the release of its own hostages held by Hamas, as demonstrated by past mutual release deals, and reduce the likelihood of attacks driven by grievances over detainee treatment. This approach would align Israel with its international obligations, address a root cause of the conflict, and pave the way for a more just resolution.

الحجة: يجب على مدعي المحكمة الجنائية الدولية طلب أمر اعتقال بحق بتسلئيل سموتريتش، ويجب على المحكمة إصدار هذا الأمر على وجه السرعة بسبب جرائم الحرب في غزة

المقدمة

كريم خان (@karimkhanqc)، بصفته المدعي العام للمحكمة الجنائية الدولية (@IntlCrimCourt)، مكلف بالتحقيق ومقاضاة الأفراد المسؤولين عن أخطر الجرائم ذات الاهتمام الدولي، بما في ذلك جرائم الحرب، عندما تكون الدول غير راغبة أو غير قادرة على القيام بذلك بشكل حقيقي [Web ID: 1]. بتسلئيل سموتريتش (@bezalelsm)، وزير المالية الإسرائيلي، لعب دورًا مباشرًا وهامًا في فرض حصار مدته ستة أسابيع على غزة، حيث تعهد علنًا في 8 أبريل 2025 بمنع كل المساعدات الإنسانية، بما في ذلك "حبة قمح واحدة"، من الدخول إلى القطاع [X Post: 1911002446362456066]. هذا الحصار، الذي أكدته وكالة الأونروا في 12 أبريل 2025، أدى إلى عواقب إنسانية وخيمة، بما في ذلك الجوع المنتشر ونفاد مخزونات الغذاء [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. أفعال سموتريتش تشكل جرائم حرب بموجب القانون الإنساني الدولي، ويجب على المحكمة الجنائية الدولية التحرك على وجه السرعة لمحاسبته.

1. اختصاص المحكمة الجنائية الدولية في الوضع في غزة

تمتلك المحكمة الجنائية الدولية اختصاصًا على الجرائم المرتكبة في أراضي فلسطين، بما في ذلك غزة، كجزء من تحقيقها المستمر في الوضع في دولة فلسطين، والذي يعود إلى عام 2014 [Web ID: 2]. يشمل هذا التحقيق أي جرائم يرتكبها أي طرف على الأراضي الفلسطينية، بما في ذلك الأحداث الحالية في غزة [Web ID: 2]. بصفتها دولة طرف في نظام روما منذ عام 2015، قبلت فلسطين اختصاص المحكمة، وأكدت الغرفة التمهيدية للمحكمة في عام 2021 أن اختصاصها الإقليمي يشمل غزة والضفة الغربية والقدس الشرقية. سموتريتش، بصفته مسؤولًا إسرائيليًا تؤثر أفعاله مباشرة على غزة، يقع ضمن الاختصاص الشخصي للمحكمة للجرائم المرتكبة على الأراضي الفلسطينية، بغض النظر عن عدم عضوية إسرائيل في نظام روما.

2. أدلة على جرائم الحرب المنسوبة إلى بتسلئيل سموتريتش

تصريح سموتريتش والحصار الناتج عنه يشكلان جرائم حرب بموجب نظام روما، وتحديدًا المادة 8(2)(ب)(xxv) (التجويع كأسلوب حرب)، والمادة 8(2)(ب)(iii) (الهجوم المتعمد على المساعدات الإنسانية)، والمادة 8(2)(ب)(ix) (العقاب الجماعي). الأدلة هي كالتالي:

• التجويع كأسلوب حرب (المادة 8(2)(ب)(xxv))

  • يعرف نظام روما هذه الجريمة بأنها "استخدام التجويع المتعمد للمدنيين كأسلوب حرب عن طريق حرمانهم من الأشياء الضرورية لبقائهم، بما في ذلك عرقلة إمدادات الإغاثة عمدًا."
  • صرح سموتريتش صراحة في 8 أبريل 2025 أن "حتى حبة قمح واحدة لن تدخل غزة"، وهي سياسة تتماشى مع الحصار الذي استمر ستة أسابيع وأكدته الأونروا، والذي بدأ حوالي أواخر فبراير 2025 [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. أفادت الأونروا أن هذا الحصار أدى إلى نفاد مخزونات الغذاء، وإغلاق المخابز، والجوع المنتشر، حيث يذهب الأطفال والرضع إلى النوم جائعين [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. يأتي الحصار بعد تدمير 67.6% من الأراضي الزراعية في غزة، مما يجعل السكان معتمدين بالكامل على المساعدات الخارجية [Web ID: 1]. حرمان سموتريتش المتعمد للقمح - وهو غذاء أساسي - يشكل التجويع كأسلوب حرب، وينتهك المادة 54 من البروتوكول الإضافي الأول (API) والقاعدة 53 من القانون الإنساني الدولي العرفي [إطار قانوني للمستخدم].

• الهجوم المتعمد على المساعدات الإنسانية (المادة 8(2)(ب)(iii))

  • تشمل هذه الجريمة الحربية الهجوم المتعمد على الأفراد، والمنشآت، والمواد، والوحدات، أو المركبات المشاركة في المساعدات الإنسانية، فضلاً عن عرقلة عملياتها.
  • تعهد سموتريتش بمنع كل المساعدات الإنسانية يعيق مباشرة عمليات الإغاثة، بما في ذلك تلك التي تقوم بها الأونروا، التي أفادت أن "جميع الإمدادات الأساسية تنفد في #غزة" بسبب الحصار [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. تؤكد النتائج على الويب أن إسرائيل قيدت المساعدات بشكل منهجي، حيث أشارت منظمة العفو الدولية إلى "انتهاك صارخ" لأمر المحكمة الدولية في يناير 2024 لضمان المساعدات الإنسانية [Web ID: 3]. سياسة سموتريتش تستهدف آليات المساعدات الإنسانية ذاتها، وتنتهك المادة 70 من البروتوكول الإضافي الأول والقاعدة 55 من القانون الإنساني الدولي العرفي [إطار قانوني للمستخدم].

• العقاب الجماعي (المادة 8(2)(ب)(ix))

  • بينما لا يدرج نظام روما العقاب الجماعي صراحة كجريمة حرب مستقلة، فإنه معترف به على نطاق واسع كانتهاك للقانون الإنساني الدولي بموجب المادة 33 من اتفاقية جنيف الرابعة والقاعدة 103 من القانون الإنساني الدولي العرفي، ويمكن مقاضاته كجزء من جرائم حرب أخرى، مثل التسبب المتعمد في معاناة كبيرة.
  • الحصار الذي استمر ستة أسابيع يؤثر على جميع سكان غزة البالغ عددهم 2.23 مليون نسمة، معاقبًا السكان المدنيين بأكملهم على أفعال حماس. يسلط منشور الأونروا الضوء على تأثير ذلك على الفئات الضعيفة، مشيرًا إلى أن "الأطفال والرضع يذهبون إلى النوم جائعين" [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. إعطاء سموتريتش الأولوية لـ "الهزيمة الكاملة لحماس" على الاعتبارات الإنسانية يظهر نية معاقبة سكان غزة المدنيين بشكل جماعي، وينتهك المادة 33 من اتفاقية جنيف الرابعة والقاعدة 103 من القانون الإنساني الدولي العرفي [إطار قانوني للمستخدم].

3. المسؤولية الجنائية الفردية لسموتريتش

بموجب المادة 25 من نظام روما، يمكن تحميل الأفراد المسؤولية الجنائية عن الأمر، أو التحريض، أو الحث على ارتكاب جرائم حرب. سموتريتش، بصفته وزير المالية الإسرائيلي، يشغل منصبًا ذا سلطة وله تأثير مباشر على السياسات التي تؤثر على غزة، بما في ذلك الحصار. تصريحه العلني في 8 أبريل 2025 بمنع كل المساعدات، بما في ذلك القمح، يظهر النية والمساهمة المباشرة في ارتكاب جرائم حرب: - الأمر أو الحث: سياسة سموتريتش الصريحة لمنع دخول المساعدات إلى غزة، بصفته مسؤولًا حكوميًا كبيرًا، تُعتبر أمرًا أو حثًا على تنفيذ الحصار، الذي استمر ستة أسابيع كما أكدت الأونروا [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. - المعرفة والنية: يعطي تصريح سموتريتش الأولوية لهزيمة حماس على الاعتبارات الإنسانية، مما يظهر وعيه بتأثير الحصار على المدنيين. تقرير الأونروا عن الجوع المنتشر وأحكام المحكمة الدولية السابقة بشأن الأزمة الإنسانية في غزة [Web ID: 3] تشير إلى أن سموتريتش كان يعلم أو كان يجب أن يعلم أن سياسته ستسبب التجويع والمعاناة. - المساهمة الكبيرة: بصفته وزير المالية، يملك سموتريتش سلطة على السياسات الاقتصادية، بما في ذلك تلك التي تؤثر على المساعدات والإمدادات التجارية إلى غزة. تأييده العلني للحصار، إلى جانب دوره في إدارة المستوطنات التي تشرف على سياسات الضفة الغربية [Web ID: 2]، يشير إلى استراتيجية أوسع لتهميش الفلسطينيين، مع الحصار على غزة كجزء رئيسي.

4. التكاملية وضرورة تدخل المحكمة الجنائية الدولية

تعمل المحكمة الجنائية الدولية على مبدأ التكاملية، حيث تتولى القضايا فقط عندما تكون الدول غير راغبة أو غير قادرة على القيام بذلك بشكل حقيقي [Web ID: 1]. لم تظهر إسرائيل أي رغبة في التحقيق أو مقاضاة سموتريتش عن دوره في الحصار: - استمرت الحكومة الإسرائيلية، بما في ذلك سموتريتش، في تحدي الدعوات الدولية لتوفير الوصول الإنساني، كما يتضح من استمرار الحصار على الرغم من حكم المحكمة الدولية في يناير 2024 [Web ID: 3]. - تصريح سموتريتش والحصار يتماشيان مع سياسة أوسع للعقاب الجماعي والتجويع، التي تبررها إسرائيل بأسباب أمنية، مدعية أن حماس استخدمت مساعدات الهدنة لإعادة بناء آلتها الحربية [Web ID: 1]. ومع ذلك، هذا التبرير لا ينفي التزامات القانون الإنساني الدولي، وفشل إسرائيل في التحقيق في هذه الأفعال كجرائم حرب محتملة يظهر عدم الرغبة. - حكم المحكمة الدولية في يوليو 2024 بشأن الطبيعة غير القانونية للاحتلال الإسرائيلي يؤكد بشكل أكبر على الانتهاكات المنهجية لإسرائيل للقانون الدولي، مما يشير إلى غياب المساءلة المحلية الحقيقية [Web ID: 3].

نظراً لعدم رغبة إسرائيل في التصرف، تقع على عاتق المحكمة الجنائية الدولية مسؤولية التدخل لضمان العدالة للضحايا في غزة.

5. الحاجة الملحة لإصدار أمر الاعتقال

الوضع في غزة يتطلب تدخلاً عاجلاً من المحكمة الجنائية الدولية بسبب الأزمة الإنسانية المستمرة والمتفاقمة: - شدة الأزمة: يذكر منشور الأونروا في 12 أبريل 2025 أنه بعد ستة أسابيع من الحصار، نفدت مخزونات الغذاء تقريبًا، وأغلقت المخابز، وانتشر الجوع، مع اقتراب غزة "من جوع عميق جدًا جدًا" [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. يأتي الحصار بعد تدمير 67.6% من الأراضي الزراعية في غزة، مما يترك السكان معتمدين بالكامل على المساعدات الخارجية [Web ID: 1]. سياسة سموتريتش تعرض السكان لخطر التجويع الجماعي، وهو نتيجة كارثية تتطلب تدخلاً فوريًا. - الطبيعة المستمرة للجرائم: يشير تصريح سموتريتش في 8 أبريل 2025 إلى استمرار وتصعيد الحصار، الذي بدأ في أواخر فبراير 2025. بدون تدخل المحكمة الجنائية الدولية، ستستمر هذه الجرائم، مما يعرض 2.23 مليون نسمة في غزة لخطر أكبر. - خطر المزيد من الانتهاكات: أجندة سموتريتش الأوسع، بما في ذلك سعيه لضم الضفة الغربية بدعم محتمل من إدارة ترامب القادمة في 2025 [Web ID: 2]، تشير إلى نمط من الانتهاكات المتزايدة ضد الفلسطينيين. أمر الاعتقال يمكن أن يردع المزيد من الجرائم من خلال إرسال إشارة بأن المجتمع الدولي لن يتسامح مع مثل هذه الأفعال. - السوابق والردع: سبق للمحكمة الجنائية الدولية أن أصدرت أوامر اعتقال لمسؤولين كبار في سياقات مماثلة، مثل السودان وليبيا، لجرائم تشمل التجويع والعقاب الجماعي. إصدار أمر اعتقال لسموتريتش سيعزز التزام المحكمة بمعالجة جرائم الحرب في الوقت الحقيقي، خاصة في القضايا البارزة التي تشمل مسؤولين كبار.

6. جدوى تدخل المحكمة الجنائية الدولية

لقد أظهر كريم خان بالفعل التزامًا بالتحقيق في الجرائم في فلسطين، حيث زار معبر رفح الحدودي في أكتوبر 2023 وأكد على اختصاص مكتبه في الأحداث الحالية في غزة [Web ID: 2]. يمكن لقضاة الغرفة التمهيدية في المحكمة الجنائية الدولية إصدار أمر اعتقال إذا كانت هناك أدلة كافية، وهو ما يمكن للمدعي العام طلبه بعد جمع الأدلة وتحديد المشتبه به [Web ID: 1]. الأدلة في هذه القضية قوية: - تصريح سموتريتش العلني، الذي تم الإبلاغ عنه في 8 أبريل 2025، يوفر دليلاً مباشرًا على النية [X Post: 1911002446362456066]. - تأكيد الأونروا للحصار الذي استمر ستة أسابيع وتأثيره الإنساني يوفر شهادة مباشرة [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. - تؤكد النتائج على الويب، بما في ذلك تقارير منظمة العفو الدولية وأحكام المحكمة الدولية، الطبيعة المنهجية للانتهاكات [Web ID: 3].

بينما تعتمد المحكمة الجنائية الدولية على تعاون الدول لتنفيذ الاعتقالات [Web ID: 1]، فإن إصدار أمر الاعتقال سيضع ضغطًا كبيرًا على إسرائيل وحلفائها، خاصة مع تصاعد الانتقادات الدولية، حيث حذرت المملكة المتحدة وفرنسا وألمانيا من انتهاكات القانون الإنساني الدولي [Web ID: 3].

7. الواجب الأخلاقي والقانوني

تتمثل مهمة المحكمة الجنائية الدولية في إنهاء الإفلات من العقاب على أخطر الجرائم وتوفير العدالة للضحايا. تأثير الحصار على المدنيين في غزة - خاصة الأطفال، كما أبرزته الأونروا [X Post: 1910935917788876822] - يتطلب المساءلة. أفعال سموتريتش لا تنتهك القانون الإنساني الدولي فحسب، بل تساهم أيضًا في الطبيعة غير القانونية للاحتلال الإسرائيلي، وفقًا لحكم المحكمة الدولية في يوليو 2024 [Web ID: 3]. عدم التصرف سيقوض مصداقية المحكمة الجنائية الدولية ويشجع قادة آخرين على ارتكاب جرائم مماثلة.

الخلاصة

يجب على كريم خان طلب أمر اعتقال على وجه السرعة بحق بتسلئيل سموتريتش بتهمة ارتكاب جرائم حرب تتضمن التجويع كأسلوب حرب، وعرقلة المساعدات الإنسانية عمدًا، والعقاب الجماعي، كما يتضح من تصريحه في 8 أبريل 2025 والحصار الذي استمر ستة أسابيع على غزة. يجب على المحكمة الجنائية الدولية إصدار هذا الأمر لمعالجة الأزمة المستمرة، وردع المزيد من الانتهاكات، وتحقيق العدالة للمدنيين في غزة. الأدلة واضحة، والأساس القانوني متين، والضرورة الإنسانية لا يمكن إنكارها. حان وقت العمل الآن.

Argument: The ICC Prosecutor Should Seek, and the Court Should Issue, an Arrest Warrant for Bezalel Smotrich for War Crimes in Gaza

Introduction

Karim Khan QC (@karimkhanqc), as the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (@IntlCrimCourt), has a mandate to investigate and prosecute individuals responsible for the most serious crimes of international concern, including war crimes, when states are unwilling or unable to do so genuinely [Web ID: 1]. Bezalel Smotrich (@bezalelsm), Israel’s Finance Minister, has played a direct and significant role in the imposition of a six-week blockade on Gaza, explicitly vowing on April 8, 2025, to prevent all humanitarian aid, including "not a single grain of wheat," from entering the territory [X Post: 1911002446362456066]. This blockade, confirmed by the UNRWA on April 12, 2025, has led to severe humanitarian consequences, including widespread hunger and the depletion of food stocks [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. Smotrich’s actions constitute war crimes under international humanitarian law (IHL), and the ICC must act urgently to hold him accountable.

1. Jurisdiction of the ICC Over the Situation in Gaza

The ICC has jurisdiction over crimes committed on the territory of Palestine, including Gaza, as part of its ongoing investigation into the Situation in the State of Palestine, which dates back to 2014 [Web ID: 2]. This investigation covers any crimes committed by any party on Palestinian territory, including current events in Gaza [Web ID: 2]. As a state party to the Rome Statute since 2015, Palestine has accepted the ICC’s jurisdiction, and the Court’s Pre-Trial Chamber confirmed in 2021 that its territorial jurisdiction includes Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. Smotrich, as an Israeli official whose actions directly impact Gaza, falls within the ICC’s personal jurisdiction for crimes committed on Palestinian territory, regardless of Israel’s non-membership in the Rome Statute.

2. Evidence of War Crimes Attributable to Bezalel Smotrich

Smotrich’s statement and the resulting blockade constitute war crimes under the Rome Statute, specifically Articles 8(2)(b)(xxv) (starvation as a method of warfare), 8(2)(b)(iii) (intentionally directing attacks against humanitarian assistance), and 8(2)(b)(ix) (collective punishment). The evidence is as follows:

• Starvation as a Method of Warfare (Article 8(2)(b)(xxv))

  • The Rome Statute defines this war crime as "intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare by depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, including wilfully impeding relief supplies."
  • Smotrich explicitly stated on April 8, 2025, that "not even a grain of wheat will enter Gaza," a policy that aligns with the six-week blockade confirmed by the UNRWA, starting around late February 2025 [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. The UNRWA reported that this blockade has led to the depletion of food stocks, closure of bakeries, and widespread hunger, with babies and children going to bed hungry [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. The blockade follows the destruction of 67.6% of Gaza’s cropland, making the population entirely reliant on external aid [Web ID: 1]. Smotrich’s intentional deprivation of wheat—a staple food—constitutes starvation as a method of warfare, violating Article 54 of Additional Protocol I (API) and Rule 53 of Customary IHL [User’s Legal Framework].

• Intentionally Directing Attacks Against Humanitarian Assistance (Article 8(2)(b)(iii))

  • This war crime involves intentionally directing attacks against personnel, installations, material, units, or vehicles involved in humanitarian assistance, as well as impeding their operations.
  • Smotrich’s vow to block all humanitarian aid directly impedes relief operations, including those by the UNRWA, which reported that "all basic supplies are running out in #Gaza" due to the blockade [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. Web results confirm that Israel has systematically restricted aid, with Amnesty International noting a "flagrant violation" of the ICJ’s January 2024 order to ensure humanitarian assistance [Web ID: 3]. Smotrich’s policy targets the very mechanisms of humanitarian aid, violating Article 70 of API and Rule 55 of Customary IHL [User’s Legal Framework].

• Collective Punishment (Article 8(2)(b)(ix))

  • While the Rome Statute does not explicitly list collective punishment as a standalone war crime, it is widely recognized as a violation of IHL under Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention (GCIV) and Rule 103 of Customary IHL, and can be prosecuted as part of other war crimes, such as intentionally causing great suffering.
  • The six-week blockade affects all 2.23 million residents of Gaza, punishing the entire civilian population for the actions of Hamas. The UNRWA post highlights the impact on vulnerable groups, noting that "babies, children are going to bed hungry" [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. Smotrich’s prioritization of the "complete defeat of Hamas" over humanitarian concerns demonstrates intent to collectively punish Gaza’s civilians, violating Article 33 of GCIV and Rule 103 of Customary IHL [User’s Legal Framework].

3. Smotrich’s Individual Criminal Responsibility

Under Article 25 of the Rome Statute, individuals can be held criminally responsible for ordering, soliciting, or inducing the commission of war crimes. Smotrich, as Israel’s Finance Minister, holds a position of authority and has direct influence over policies affecting Gaza, including the blockade. His public statement on April 8, 2025, to block all aid, including wheat, demonstrates intent and a direct contribution to the commission of war crimes: - Ordering or Inducing: Smotrich’s explicit policy to prevent aid from entering Gaza, as a senior government official, effectively orders or induces the implementation of the blockade, which has been in place for six weeks as confirmed by UNRWA [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. - Knowledge and Intent: Smotrich’s statement prioritizes the defeat of Hamas over humanitarian concerns, showing awareness of the blockade’s impact on civilians. The UNRWA’s report of widespread hunger and the ICJ’s prior rulings on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza [Web ID: 3] indicate that Smotrich knew or should have known that his policy would cause starvation and suffering. - Significant Contribution: As Finance Minister, Smotrich has authority over economic policies, including those affecting aid and commercial supplies to Gaza. His public endorsement of the blockade, combined with his role in the Settlements Administration overseeing West Bank policies [Web ID: 2], suggests a broader strategy to marginalize Palestinians, with the Gaza blockade as a key component.

4. Complementarity and the Need for ICC Action

The ICC operates on the principle of complementarity, prosecuting cases only when states are unwilling or unable to do so genuinely [Web ID: 1]. Israel has shown no willingness to investigate or prosecute Smotrich for his role in the blockade: - Israel’s government, including Smotrich, has continued to defy international calls for humanitarian access, as evidenced by the blockade’s persistence despite the ICJ’s January 2024 ruling [Web ID: 3]. - Smotrich’s statement and the blockade align with a broader policy of collective punishment and starvation, which Israel justifies on security grounds, claiming Hamas used ceasefire aid to rebuild its war machine [Web ID: 1]. However, this justification does not negate IHL obligations, and Israel’s failure to investigate these actions as potential war crimes demonstrates unwillingness. - The ICJ’s July 2024 ruling on the unlawful nature of Israel’s occupation further underscores Israel’s systemic violations of international law, suggesting a lack of genuine domestic accountability [Web ID: 3].

Given Israel’s unwillingness to act, the ICC has a responsibility to intervene to ensure justice for the victims in Gaza.

5. Urgency of Issuing an Arrest Warrant

The situation in Gaza demands urgent action by the ICC due to the ongoing and escalating humanitarian crisis: - Severity of the Crisis: The UNRWA post on April 12, 2025, states that after six weeks of the blockade, food stocks are nearly gone, bakeries are closed, and hunger is spreading, with Gaza "inching closer towards very, very deep hunger" [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. The blockade follows the destruction of 67.6% of Gaza’s cropland, leaving the population entirely reliant on external aid [Web ID: 1]. Smotrich’s policy risks mass starvation, a catastrophic outcome that requires immediate intervention. - Ongoing Nature of the Crimes: Smotrich’s statement on April 8, 2025, indicates a continuation and escalation of the blockade, which began in late February 2025. Without ICC action, these crimes will persist, further endangering Gaza’s 2.23 million residents. - Risk of Further Violations: Smotrich’s broader agenda, including his push for West Bank annexation with potential support from the incoming Trump administration in 2025 [Web ID: 2], suggests a pattern of escalating violations against Palestinians. An arrest warrant could deter further crimes by signaling that the international community will not tolerate such actions. - Precedent and Deterrence: The ICC has previously issued arrest warrants for senior officials in similar contexts, such as in Sudan and Libya, for crimes including starvation and collective punishment. Issuing a warrant for Smotrich would reinforce the ICC’s commitment to addressing war crimes in real time, particularly in high-profile cases involving senior officials.

6. Feasibility of ICC Action

Karim Khan has already demonstrated a commitment to investigating crimes in Palestine, visiting the Rafah Border Crossing in October 2023 and emphasizing his office’s jurisdiction over current events in Gaza [Web ID: 2]. The ICC’s Pre-Trial judges can issue an arrest warrant if there is sufficient evidence, which the Prosecutor can request after gathering evidence and identifying a suspect [Web ID: 1]. The evidence in this case is robust: - Smotrich’s public statement, reported on April 8, 2025, provides direct evidence of intent [X Post: 1911002446362456066]. - The UNRWA’s confirmation of the six-week blockade and its humanitarian impact provides firsthand testimony [X Post: 1910935917788876822]. - Web results, including reports from Amnesty International and the ICJ’s rulings, corroborate the systematic nature of the violations [Web ID: 3].

While the ICC relies on state cooperation for arrests [Web ID: 1], issuing a warrant would place significant pressure on Israel and its allies, particularly as international criticism mounts, with the UK, France, and Germany warning of IHL breaches [Web ID: 3].

7. Moral and Legal Imperative

The ICC’s mandate is to end impunity for the most serious crimes and provide justice for victims. The blockade’s impact on Gaza’s civilians—particularly children, as highlighted by UNRWA [X Post: 1910935917788876822]—demands accountability. Smotrich’s actions not only violate IHL but also contribute to the unlawful nature of Israel’s occupation, as per the ICJ’s July 2024 ruling [Web ID: 3]. Failing to act would undermine the ICC’s credibility and embolden other leaders to commit similar crimes.

Conclusion

Karim Khan QC should urgently seek an arrest warrant for Bezalel Smotrich for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare, intentionally impeding humanitarian assistance, and collective punishment, as evidenced by his April 8, 2025, statement and the six-week blockade on Gaza. The ICC must issue this warrant to address the ongoing crisis, deter further violations, and uphold justice for Gaza’s civilians. The evidence is clear, the legal basis is solid, and the humanitarian imperative is undeniable. The time for action is now.

Gaza hasn't received a single gain of wheat for six weeks. It's high time for humanity to unite, break the siege and hold Israel responsible for it's crimes.

Israel’s Siege on Gaza: A War Crime Starving Millions—Act Now!

For over six weeks, since early March 2025, Israel has imposed a total siege on Gaza, blocking all humanitarian aid, including food, medicine, and fuel. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich declared on April 8, 2025, that “not even a grain of wheat will enter Gaza,” prioritizing the “defeat of Hamas” over the lives of 2 million Palestinians. The result? Thousands of aid trucks—carrying tens of thousands of tons of food—are stuck at Rafah and Kerem Shalom, rotting under the sun, while inside Gaza, all bakeries have shut down due to a lack of flour. Children are dying of starvation—WHO reports at least 30 deaths by early April—families are grinding animal feed to survive, and black markets sell smuggled aid at prices like $60 for a sack of flour that should be free.

This is not just a humanitarian crisis; it’s a deliberate violation of international law. The Fourth Geneva Convention (Article 55) mandates that occupying powers ensure food and medical supplies for civilians. Starvation as a method of warfare is explicitly prohibited under Protocol I (Article 54), and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court classifies it as a war crime. UN experts, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International have already labeled Israel’s actions as potential crimes against humanity, even genocidal acts. The ICC issued warrants in 2024 against Israeli leaders like Yoav Gallant for similar starvation tactics. Yet, Smotrich’s words show this policy is intentional, a “war of starvation” designed to break Gaza’s people.

I have friends in Gaza begging for help, but here’s the brutal truth: even if I sent a billion dollars, it wouldn’t change Israel’s policies or allow a single grain of wheat into the Strip. The siege creates scarcity, fueling black markets where collaborators profit off desperation, while the blockade ensures nothing gets through. Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’ leader, hadn’t eaten for three days before his death in October 2024—Israel’s own autopsy confirmed it. If even he was starving, what chance do ordinary Gazans have? This isn’t about Hamas hoarding; it’s about Israel’s chokehold.

We can’t sit by while Gaza starves. I’m calling on the international community to act:
1. Lobby for airdrops now. With land crossings blocked, airdrops are the only way to get food and medicine directly to Gazans, bypassing the siege and profiteers. Jordan and Egypt have done it before—pressure your governments to join them.
2. Urge the UN General Assembly to use Resolution 377 (“Uniting for Peace”). When the Security Council fails—vetoed by the US—Resolution 377 empowers the UNGA to act, forcing the delivery of humanitarian aid and holding Israel accountable. Write to your UN representatives, demand an emergency session, and push for enforcement of international law.

Gaza’s people are being starved in plain sight. Share this, raise your voice, and act—before it’s too late. #GazaSiege #EndStarvation #UNActNow

حصار إسرائيل على غزة: جريمة حرب تجوّع الملايين - تحرك الآن!

منذ أكثر من ستة أسابيع، منذ بداية مارس 2025، فرضت إسرائيل حصارًا كاملًا على غزة، حيث منعت كل المساعدات الإنسانية، بما في ذلك الطعام والدواء والوقود. أعلن وزير المالية الإسرائيلي بتسلئيل سموتريتش في 8 أبريل 2025 أنه "لن يدخل حبة قمح واحدة إلى غزة"، مفضلاً "هزيمة حماس" على حياة أكثر من مليوني فلسطيني. النتيجة؟ آلاف الشاحنات المحملة بالمساعدات—تحمل عشرات الآلاف من الأطنان من الطعام—عالقة عند معابر رفح وكرم أبو سالم، تتعفن تحت الشمس، بينما في الداخل، أُغلقت جميع المخابز في غزة بسبب نقص الطحين. الأطفال يموتون جوعًا—منظمة الصحة العالمية سجلت وفاة 30 طفلًا على الأقل بحلول أوائل أبريل—والعائلات تلجأ إلى طحن علف الحيوانات أو البحث عن نباتات برية للبقاء على قيد الحياة، بينما تباع المساعدات المهربة في الأسواق السوداء بأسعار مثل 60 دولارًا لكيس طحين يُفترض أن يكون مجانيًا.

هذه ليست مجرد أزمة إنسانية؛ إنها انتهاك متعمد للقانون الدولي. اتفاقية جنيف الرابعة (المادة 55) تلزم القوة القائمة بالاحتلال بضمان توفير الغذاء والإمدادات الطبية للمدنيين. التجويع كوسيلة حرب محظور صراحة بموجب البروتوكول الأول (المادة 54)، وميثاق روما الخاص بالمحكمة الجنائية الدولية يصنفه كجريمة حرب. خبراء الأمم المتحدة ومنظمة هيومن رايتس ووتش ومنظمة العفو الدولية وصفوا أفعال إسرائيل بأنها جرائم ضد الإنسانية، بل وحتى أعمال إبادة جماعية محتملة. أصدرت المحكمة الجنائية الدولية أوامر توقيف في 2024 ضد قادة إسرائيليين مثل يوآف غالانت بسبب أساليب التجويع المماثلة. ومع ذلك، كلمات سموتريتش تظهر أن هذه السياسة متعمدة، "حرب تجويع" تهدف إلى كسر شعب غزة.

لدي أصدقاء في غزة يتوسلون المساعدة، لكن الحقيقة المريرة هي: حتى لو أرسلت مليار دولار، فلن يغير ذلك سياسات إسرائيل أو يسمح بدخول حبة قمح واحدة إلى القطاع. الحصار يخلق ندرة، مما يغذي الأسواق السوداء حيث يستفيد المتعاونون من يأس الناس، بينما يضمن الحصار عدم وصول أي شيء. يحيى السنوار، زعيم حماس، لم يأكل لمدة ثلاثة أيام قبل مقتله في أكتوبر 2024—تأكد ذلك تشريح إسرائيل نفسه. إذا كان حتى هو يتضور جوعًا، فما الفرص التي يملكها الفلسطينيون العاديون؟ هذا ليس عن تخزين حماس للمساعدات؛ إنه عن قبضة إسرائيل.

لا يمكننا أن نجلس مكتوفي الأيدي بينما يتضور شعب غزة جوعًا. أدعو المجتمع الدولي للتحرك:
1. اضغطوا من أجل إسقاط المساعدات جوًا الآن. مع إغلاق المعابر البرية، الإسقاط الجوي هو الطريقة الوحيدة لإيصال الطعام والدواء مباشرة إلى سكان غزة، متجاوزًا الحصار والمستغلين. الأردن ومصر قامتا بذلك من قبل—اضغطوا على حكوماتكم للانضمام إليهما.
2. حثوا الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة على استخدام القرار 377 ("التوحد من أجل السلام"). عندما يفشل مجلس الأمن—بسبب الفيتو الأمريكي—يخول القرار 377 للجمعية العامة التحرك، وفرض توصيل المساعدات الإنسانية ومحاسبة إسرائيل. اكتبوا إلى ممثلي بلادكم في الأمم المتحدة، اطلبوا جلسة طارئة، وادفعوا لتطبيق القانون الدولي.

شعب غزة يتضور جوعًا أمام أعين العالم. شاركوا هذا، ارفعوا أصواتكم، وتحركوا—قبل فوات الأوان. #حصار_غزة #أوقفوا_التجويع #الأمم_المتحدة_تحركي
