The U.S. Bans Top ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda!

Prominent prosecutor being denied entry to the United States. The International Criminal Court wants Fatou Bensouda to investigate war crimes committed by the U.S. and Israel. The U.S. is blocking her from doing her job.
Donald J. Trump and Mike Pompeo decided to block a Gambian prosecutor from entry to the United States. The woman, Fatou Bensouda is a leading top prosecutor from the International Criminal Court.

This revoke is certainly sparking outrage globally.

The ICC is located in The Hague, is an international body that prosecutes war criminals.

The United States doesn't often adhere to the rule of international law. The U.S. has made good on its threats to deny entry for ICC officials. The ICC has accused the United States of war crimes in Afghanistan. They also have accused Israel of war crimes towards people living in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

The United Nations human rights experts called the denial of entry a "improper interference" in the work of the world's permanent war crimes court. It also drew criticism from the European Union.

The U.S. is not a member of the ICC nor is China and Russia. But they do oversee who is tried in the court and do acknowledge impact.

Bensouda shrugged off the controversy and said that she will continue to work. She said that she is granted access to the U.N. Security Council and that can't be revoked.

The United States is the greatest provocateur of violence globally. We are the only civilized nation that continues to allow gun violence exist. We are still the most ignorant, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-Black and anti-woman country in the world.

Today's revoking of ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda is another racially motivated attack.

A professional woman of color being treated like a second class citizen. Her mission is to unearth atrocities committed by countries (i.e. U.S., Russia, Israel and China).

We all know this countries have done some form of human atrocities.
Trump, Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo are doing their best to prevent the world leaders from exposing their criminal actions.
When Barack Obama ordered the capture of Osama bin Laden, the U.S. special forces entered Pakistan and raided the home of the al Qaeda leader. They killed him and two operatives. They buried his body in proper Islamic customs. They buried the body at sea to prevent a shrine.

Some Americans here were so blood thirsty. They wanted to see the death photos and pictures of him being shoved out to sea.

It's unfortunate that here in the United States, we're censored from seeing the victims of gun violence.

That should be changed. The moment you see a picture of a young child having their heads blown off by a high capacity firearm, you might want to start demanding reasonable gun control.

The United States is often regarded as the world's bully. Donald J. Trump has officially sealed that notion. He will lead us to a recession. He will inspire a white terrorist to commit an attack on our fellow Americans. He might inspire a foreign born terrorist to attack Americans here and abroad. He will also cause the European Union and African Union to abandon their assistance in apprehending alleged Islamic State operatives.

This slap to the ICC will only make us more likely to lose support for any impending conflicts we're eventually gonna head into (thanks to the Israeli government).
