A U.S.-based anti-Israel NGO has been collecting names of Israel Defense Forces officers and petitioning for their arrest in the United States and international fora, according to a report released by NGO Monitor on Sunday.
DAWN (Democracy for the Arab World Now) has sought “arrest warrants against Israelis” at the International Criminal Court (ICC), the International Court of Justice at the Hague (ICJ) and with the U.S. government, according to the report.
Since Oct. 7, the radical NGO, whose extremist propaganda includes attacks against Israel for “war crimes,” “occupation” and “apartheid,” has only increased its anti-Israel harassment, the watchdog group said.
In December, DAWN submitted a list of 40 senior Israeli commanders to the ICC prosecutor, urging an investigation for their “planning, ordering, and executing Israel’s indiscriminate bombardment, wanton destruction, and mass killing of civilians in Gaza.”
It posted to its website Wanted-type posters, or “Prime Suspect cards,” featuring the photos of IDF officers with their name, rank and purported role. Among those included were IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari. ...
DAWN was launched in 2022, the brainchild of Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi, the Saudi journalist who was killed in 2018 on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, according to a 2021 U.S. intelligence report. ...
NGO = Non-governmental organization, e.g., lobby groups and non-profits.

The UN and what army?
Israel (like the US) does not recognize ICC jurisdiction. Because they know the ICC is reliably anti-Semitic (just like the US knows the ICC is reliably anti-American).

Democracy for the Arab World now? Interesting concept, but that
s been tried and the warlords, imams, moolahs, and sheikhs kinda voted that down.

Laughable. There is NOT a single arab/muslim nation that supports or believes in democracy. Bunch of f***ing idiots.
I say Israel is righteous to eliminate every last Gazan by any means possible.
