🔴 From Paris to Gaza: Will Macron Stand Trial for Complicity in Genocide?"

✍️ By Malik Mukhtar

“Neutrality in the face of genocide is complicity. But when neutrality becomes policy—backed by weapons, drones, and vetoes—it becomes a crime.”

In a bold and unprecedented move, French lawyers and human rights organizations have taken a step that many thought unthinkable—they’re calling for international justice to pierce the veil of Western impunity. At the heart of this legal earthquake is none other than French President Emmanuel Macron.

Yes, the same Macron who champions liberté, égalité, fraternité now faces accusations of complicity in war crimes and genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The French NGO EuroPalestine has formally filed a complaint before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), demanding an investigation into the role of Macron and other top French officials in enabling Israel’s military campaign—a campaign that, according to international aid organizations and UN bodies, has turned Gaza into a slaughterhouse.

But this isn't just about moral outrage. It’s about material complicity.

France supplied weapons, surveillance drones, and military technology that were reportedly used in Israeli bombing campaigns. French airspace and diplomacy shielded Israel’s aggression while Macron performed the familiar political ballet of “humanitarian concern” for cameras, and arms deals for cabinet rooms.

It was France that championed the ICC’s warrant for Vladimir Putin, applauding international law—until that same law turned its gaze toward Israel’s Netanyahu. Then suddenly, Macron’s administration claimed “head of state immunity”, contradicting ICC precedent and effectively undermining the very principles it invoked in Ukraine’s case.

In a world gasping under the weight of hypocrisy, this is what legal colonialism looks like: Where justice is fast-tracked for enemies, but stalled for allies—even when the bodies of 15,000+ Palestinian children lie beneath the rubble.

And now, as famine-induced deaths in Gaza mount by the hour, the silence from the Élysée Palace isn’t just deafening—it’s lethal.

Let’s be clear: This legal challenge isn’t symbolic. It signals a tectonic shift in global accountability. No longer will Western leaders hide behind the shield of “strategic alliances” and humanitarian doublespeak while they fuel the machinery of annihilation.

Human rights lawyers are demanding that the International Criminal Court (ICC) and ICJ examine Macron’s complicity not only as a passive enabler but as an active participant in a campaign that bears all the hallmarks of genocide, as noted by international legal scholars, UN officials, and even Israeli and Jewish human rights voices.

📌 This isn’t politics. It’s principle.

If Macron’s government aided and abetted a war effort that systematically starved, bombed, and ethnically cleansed a captive civilian population—then he must be held to the same standards as any other world leader. Justice must not be Western or Eastern. It must be universal—or it is nothing.

Because when lawyers in Paris risk their careers to indict their own president, they’re not just seeking accountability.
They’re reclaiming the soul of justice.

Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed.

Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed “ I delivered a beheaded woman who was nine months pregnant. ” That’s not a horror-film script. That’s not medieval history. That is the testimony of an Australian medic standing in a Gaza hospital in 2025, describing what it means to “ practice medicine ” under Israeli bombardment. A nine-months-pregnant woman , decapitated , her body torn open so that the child she carried could be pulled out lifeless — and somehow this is still not enough to shake the comfortable democracies of the West into anything resembling a conscience. We should probably give the Nobel Prize for Creative Euphemism to the politicians who still call this “self-defense.” After all, there’s nothing quite as defensive as severing the head of an expectant mother and forcing foreign doctors to deliver her dead child in the rubble of what used to be a hospital . Bravo, civilization . The tragedy is not just the atrocity itself. It’s the smug perfo...

Docu Drama. The voice of Hind Rajab.

The Red Phone Rings, but the World Hits Mute The world just gave a 23-minute standing ovation —yes, twenty-three full minutes of clapping —for The Voice of Hind Rajab at the Venice Film Festival . Applause so long it could’ve filled Hind’s final desperate phone call to the Red Crescent. Bravo, humanity. We couldn’t save her when it mattered, but at least we can applaud her ghost. This is the new morality play: a five-year-old Palestinian child, trapped in a bullet-riddled car , whispering “please come, I’m scared ,” while surrounded by the corpses of her family. The Red Crescent tried . Paramedics drove toward her and were killed too . Israel buried them in silence . And the “ civilized world ”? It buried her in its news cycle . But now—don’t worry— we have a movie . Starring Hind’s voice. Directed by Kaouther Ben Hania. Produced by an ensemble of Hollywood conscience-bearers : Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Alfonso Cuarón, Jonathan Glazer, Jemima Khan , and others. ...

The End of Zionism? Welcome to the Funeral Nobody Wants to Admit Is Overdue

Of course. Haaretz recently published an opinion piece by Ithamar Handelman -Smith titled “ Some Say It’s the End of Zionism, and I Say That’s All Right .” And what impeccable timing: as Israel carries out a near-two-year campaign of siege, famine, and bombardment in Gaza — slaughtering families, burying aid workers with their ambulances, and literally starving children to death — someone in Israel finally whispers the unspeakable: maybe Zionism, that 20th-century project of “ Jewish salvation ,” has outlived its moral shelf life. Bravo. The house is burning, bodies are scattered in the street, and the philosopher shows up with a garden hose . Zionism: Success Story or Crime Scene? Handelman-Smith argues that Zionism achieved its success : a Jewish state, a safe haven, a fortress against the ghosts of Europe’s crimes . But like every “ success story ” drenched in other people’s blood , it didn’t age well. What began as refuge turned into domination; what was called “ ...

Dockers of Conscience: Italy’s Brave Guardians of Gaza

At a time when most governments avert their eyes , when institutions choose silence over principle, it is often the hands hardened by real work — the hands of dockworkers— that lift the banner of humanity. In Genoa , those hands belong to the members of the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) and the dockworkers’ collective CALP ( Collettivo Autonomo Lavoratori Portuali ) . These are not new voices. For years they have stood where conscience demands —on the cold concrete of the docks , blocking ships laden with weapons destined for wars , refusing to let Italy’s ports be complicit in bloodshed. USB , born in 2010 out of grassroots struggles , has carried a proud history of international solidarity. Its members have consistently placed labor at the service of justice, from strikes against austerity to protests against militarism . CALP , forged in Genoa’s port , has a more direct history with Palestine: blocking Israeli-bound weapons , organizing boycotts, and declaring, time ...

Britain’s Recognition of Palestine: A Century of Complicity in Disguise.

So we’ve reached this moment: Keir Starmer’s UK “ recognises the State of Palestine. ” Applause lines up. Speeches made. Headlines dazzled. But behind the pomp, the guns, the exports, the intelligence, the training — history rings out in mocking laughter. Because Britain has been complicit since day one. This recognition is not redemption . It’s theatre. 1. The Original Sin: Balfour Declaration Let’s go back. Because if you don’t know your history, you’ll be fooled by the future. On 2 November 1917 , Arthur James Balfour (Britain’s Foreign Secretary) wrote to Lord Rothschild, and officially declared: “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object , it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine , or the rights and political sta...
