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.

Fucked up. This is only the second time ever the ICJ has had to fill that position and this dude was like... fuck it. I'm going to Lebanon? Right after ICC came to the conclusion of plausible genocide? These assholes terms are 9-years long.
