“We came to seek justice. On October 7th, we experienced a second Holocaust. These human monsters are the successors of Hitler, Eichmann, and Goebbels. They will be wiped out. The concept of collective death that they propagated must be eliminated. History will not repeat itself, we are taking our own destiny into our own hands and demanding the justice that is due us.” The Hostage and Missing Families Forum organization declares.
Hundreds of people took part in a rally organized by the forum outside the courtroom as rain fell in the Dutch city, including the parents, siblings and children of the hostages, as well as those freed from Hamas captivity in November and others. Survivors of the October riots also participated. Seven Atrocities, Addressing the Crowd.
The ICC is different from the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The latter, with Israel currently defending itself against charges of “genocide” by South Africa, is intended to resolve conflicts between nations. The former has jurisdiction to pursue violations of international law. Although Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Statute giving powers to the ICC and is not subject to its jurisdiction, the court’s jurisdiction could conceivably be extended to war crimes by non-state actors such as Hamas. .
The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Hamas leaders and financiers, restricting their ability to travel and using the international financial system to carry out terrorist activities against Israelis and others, as they have done despite the war. It may provide funding.
