Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew over Greece, Italy, France and Canada on Thursday on his way to address the UN, despite an International Criminal Court warrant for his arrest.

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November 2024, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023.

Netanyahu arrived in the US for a short visit to address the UN General Assembly in New York, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said he does not have the authority to arrest the Israeli leader.

the comment that got removed here would catch a ban in World as well.

Maybe now that Trump is in, but before that you explicitly allowed Gaza genocide denial and indeed banned people who reported it.

No, no I did not. I regularly removed comments and banned users denying the genocide from the start when the numbers of Palestinians killed were as low as 5,000 and morons were trying to say "Nuh uh! You don't know that!"

You explicitly told me you made an exception to the rule against genocide denial for the Gaza genocide, then banned me for reporting them because that was "harassment".
