Washington Imposes ‘Terrorist-Grade Sanctions’ on Francesca Albanese, ICC Judges
8th February 2026
White House officials have used “terrorist-grade sanctions” to target officials from the International Criminal Court (ICC) and UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, freezing assets and disrupting war crimes investigations,Reuters reported on 6 February.
According to interviews the news agency conducted with U.S. and UN officials and sanctioned individuals, Washington is seeking to penalize the ICC over investigations into US and Israeli war crimes.
The effort to target the UN and ICC came in response to requests from at least two US tech companies involved in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
As you can tell by the writing, this article is by a Voice of the Crust. There is and was no ‘genocide’ in Gaza, because Muslims are not a ‘genos’. There were no ‘U.S. and Israeli war crimes’ (a) because Hamas is not a ‘lawful combatant’ under the Geneva Accords, but rather a terrorist group, (b) Hamas started the game with their targeted attacks against Jews (an actual ‘genos’) on October 7th, and (c) the use by Hamas of the population of Gaza as hostages and ‘human shields’ makes Hamas, not the U.S. or Israel, the actual malefactors. That’s not the Narrative, of course, in which the U.N. is deeply invested: Every terrorist act by Muslims is justified and legimate, every attempt to suppress terrorism is a ‘war crime’ or a ‘crime against humanity’.
