Israel's history of bribing, threatening and blackmailing officials around the world -- and destroying those who forcefully oppose it -- is well documented. Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, fell under heavy Mossad surveillance after he introduced warrants for the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his then-Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant. In October, 2024 when an anonymous accuser brought forward allegations of sexual harassment against Khan, there could be little doubt an Israeli hand had finessed the scandal.

Sebutinde's fanatical adherence to Israel's agenda does not appear to be the product of manipulation or enticement, however. The views expressed in her dissent on the South African case were much more likely a reflection of the Christian Zionist belief system she developed as a member of Watoto, a Pentecostal megachurch in the Ugandan capital of Kampala. It was there that Sebutinde says she developed her worldview under the tutelage of a Canadian pastor and End Times aficionado named Gary Skinner.

Fuck. If true the ICJ is cooked

It's unimaginable that a Christian Zionist (a fascist) is able to be the president of the International Court of Justice

Why? At the end of the day the icj was created by USA to prosecute "dictators" (non-compliant leaders of countries that they want to exploit), and it wasn't supposed to aim at their allies. This is just housecleaning.
