Karim Khan: alleged sexual predator uses Netanyahu and a dead Hamasshole as a distraction |
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Karim Khan, has been believably accused of sexual misconduct and, in my opinion, has attempted to deflect from his own situation by securing arrest warrants against Israeli and Hamasshole leaders, the latter who don't give a fig about the warrants. In fact, one of the persons issued a warrant, Mohammed Deif, [aka Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri] is dead. The joke is on Khan, or perhaps he's just a Khan artist.
The warrants were granted on Thursday at a time when Khan is facing allegations of sexual misconduct, which will be examined by external investigators. as reported by The Guardian.
The sexual misconduct inquiry, which is in its early stages, will focus on claims about Khan’s alleged conduct towards a woman who worked directly for him. The outlet reported in October that the allegations included claims of unwanted sexual touching and “abuse” over an extended period, as well as of coercive behavior and abuse of authority.

Khan's lawyers said he "denies the whole of the allegations." The alleged victim is a 30-year-old lawyer who worked for the anti-Zionist/anti-Semite but has previously declined to comment.
Lawyers for Khan, 54, have said he “denies the whole of the allegations”. The alleged victim, a lawyer in her 30s who worked for Khan, has previously declined to comment.
Last week, the ICC's governing body sent the sexual misconduct allegations against Prosecutor Karim Khan to the UN's Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) for investigation, even though some at the top of the court were concerned about Khan's connections to this oversight group. Both Khan and the person accusing him are expected to be interviewed soon.
The allegations became public last month at a very sensitive time for the ICC, leading officials to say it opened the court up to criticism from those trying to discredit its investigation into Palestine.
Inside the ICC, Khan's been dealing with backlash from his own team because he didn't follow the advice of his top officials to take a leave of absence while the investigation is ongoing.
There's been a lot of unease in Khan's office, which has around 450 employees, because Khan and his team have suggested these allegations might be part of an attempt to smear him.

It seems as if Khan, an overt anti-Semite, doesn't need help being smeared--his reputation and rhetoric is like a pile of dog poop run over by a truck.
In his response to the claims, Khan has suggested the sexual misconduct allegations may be part of a campaign against him, publicly referring to "a wide range of attacks and threats" against the court.
However, as the Guardian reported last week, five ICC sources familiar with the situation said that while Israel or its allies may be attempting to take advantage of the allegations, many within Khan's top team did not believe they had been invented by external actors hostile to the court.
Officials close to Khan concluded earlier this year that it was highly unlikely the allegations were part of an espionage operation and no evidence or intelligence has emerged of any involvement of an intelligence agency, such as Israel's the Mossad.
After the allegations first emerged internally at the ICC in May, Khan and another official close to him are said to have urged the woman to disavow claims about his behaviour towards her, multiple officials told the Guardian last month. Khan denies this.
ICC sources said the alleged victim had told court authorities she would cooperate with an independent external inquiry. Multiple individuals who know the woman said recent efforts to politicize the situation had been deeply distressing for her.
