International lawyers believe conduct of Israeli intelligence service should be investigated by prosecutor in The Hague

Efforts by Israel’s intelligence agencies to undermine and influence the international criminal court (ICC) could amount to “offences against the administration of justice” and should be investigated by its chief prosecutor, legal experts have said.

Responding to revelations about Israeli surveillance and espionage operations against the ICC, multiple leading international law experts said the conduct of Israeli intelligence services could amount to criminal offences.

The disclosures about Israel’s nine-year campaign against the court were published on Tuesday as part of a joint investigation by the Guardian, the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call. It details how the country’s intelligence agencies were deployed to surveil, hack, put pressure on, smear and allegedly threaten senior ICC staff.

        The app links to whatever the reason is that a brand is on the Boycott list. It’s usually a subsidiary of the big corpo brands (Unilever, Pepsico etc)

        The main reason is brands that start factories or R&D companies in israel. The other is brands openly supporting israel and/or their directors being Zionists.

        Surprisingly almost every product these days has a pretty good (local) alternative.

        It might be difficult to avoid all products on the list but if everyone just avoids a few products of brands they don’t care heavily about and happen to be on the list it’s a great start

          Meant to say the developer is clearly worried about censorship as neither boycotting nor Palestine mentioned:

          Understandable but surprising.

            Oh yeah Google banned the app from the play store initially because it mentioned israel killing people in Gaza in its description.

            Alphabet is a huge supporter of Israel, and Google employees were fired for making their displeasure known for Google’s uncritical support of a genocidal, illegally occupying nation state. Not surprising, to me.
