JERUSALEM, April 2 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu begins a four-day visit to Hungary on Thursday, defying an International Criminal Court arrest warrant over allegations of war crimes in Gaza as Israel has expanded its military operation in the enclave.

As a founding member of the ICC, Hungary is theoretically obliged to arrest and hand over anyone subject to a warrant from the court but Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban made clear when he issued the invitation that Hungary would not respect the ruling.

Stuff's happening really quick. Orbán is trying to leave the ICC (proclaimed at the press conference with Netanyahu). We suspect it's in preparation to host Putin soon.
In these interesting times I urge people against blanket hatred, or any hatred at all. We are all being pumped up emotionally, and it is hard to understand what's going on if you are blinded by (the justified) rage you're experiencing. Even having feelings towards Orbán, Putin or Netanyahu helps the media shape you, as when they get that dog whistle in place, we are prone to accept opinion as fact.
Most of us are doing the best we can, and in the rarest of cases (maybe not in politics) do we find actual bad actors instead of misled.
Times can be scary, but if we connect ourselves emotionally to the feed, it only becomes worse.

  You're speaking the truth, it's something I've been struggling with in the past few years as tiktoks, insta reels and even Reddit become further and further politically charged all safe spaces started to fade away and you think fighting back on social media will help. It doesnt
  
  Exactomundo! Choosing the dialogue, choosing the spin, it's one the major spheres of control.
  My 'breakthrough' moment was during Covid. Just looking at all the news (from sites I deemed 'my side') without any real information, but loaded with emotional phrasing made me realize that I am being used. I love that we have multiple options for news, don't get me wrong, but I felt betrayed.
  Since then, I mostly read comments or watch the video of the event the media is spinning. Comments are pretty awesome, cuz real people help digest (or misinterpret) the harsh tone of the outside world.
- I see no problem with blanked hatred against Israel.

Well it's Orban defying the warrant innit?
- it's expected for orban & hungry; it's odd for france or germany to do the same thing.
  
  Only odd till you remember its isreal.
  Due to history there is an unwillingness to accept any action against isreal.
  Its understandable. Especially for germans. But also very wrong amd needs to be addressed.
  Fuck knows how though.
  
  Is it really that odd though?
- Interestingly for Netanyahu before Putin.

Arrest both of them then

lol. all i can say. fuck this shit

Let's get him! Too bad we won't.
