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.

    [Rhymes with Zionism] is an economic policy disguised in social policy rhetoric that purports to ensure the survival of [Germany] and the [German] people.

    Both of these rhetorics are deeply grounded in economic incentives where wealth is taken from a marginalized group and transferred to the group in power

    Both dehumanize the marginalized group and try to generate fear of that group amongst the population

    Both are ideologies of murder that end in genocide and/or holocaust

    The lessons of WW2 must not be forgotten
