Who will show Trump and Netanyahu that they’re not above the law? It has to be Europe

The US president is quick to roll out the red carpet for an ally wanted for war crimes. Now Europe must stop placating them

Donald Trump’s proposal to evict 2 million Palestinians from Gaza is an unashamed declaration of support for ethnic cleansing.

As so often, he seems ready to ignore moral and legal codes alike.
“Deportation or forcible transfer of population” is listed in the Rome statute of the ICC as a crime against humanity.

And yet a US president has put that idea on the table. Trump insists this would be in everybody’s interest.

According to him, Palestinians would not want to return to their homes. “I have heard that Gaza has been very unlucky for them,”
The population is, in Trump’s words, “living in hell”, with “death and destruction and rubble and demolished buildings falling all over”.

He made no mention of Israel’s responsibility for that death and destruction and rubble.

Guardian makes no mention of Hamas' responsibility for their tunnel-based urban warfare terror using civilians as human shields
