The International Criminal Court’s top prosecutor is drowning in a sex scandal that keeps getting worse. Karim Khan now faces accusations from two different women who say he abused his power to pressure them into unwanted sexual activity. This is the same man who has been going after Israel and trying to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A second woman just came forward this week with shocking claims against Khan. She says when she was just an unpaid intern in 2009, Khan subjected her to what she calls a constant onslaught of sexual advances. The woman, known only as Patricia, said Khan was her boss and should never have been doing what he did to her.
Khan is the prosecutor who spent months trying to get arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders. He claims Israel committed war crimes while defending itself against Hamas terrorists. Now Khan has been forced to step aside from his job while the United Nations investigates these serious allegations against him.
Netanyahu fired back hard at Khan’s hypocrisy this week. The Israeli Prime Minister said Khan chose to hit the Jews rather than face his own MeToo problems. Netanyahu is calling out the obvious truth that many Americans can see – this prosecutor went after Israel to distract from his own scandals.
The timing of these allegations tells the real story here. Khan was preparing arrest warrants for Israeli officials when the first sexual misconduct complaint surfaced against him. Then more women started speaking up about his disgusting behavior. This man was trying to criminalize Israel’s right to defend itself while he was allegedly abusing women in his own workplace.
The United Nations and International Criminal Court have always been biased against America and our allies like Israel. These global elites think they can lecture the world about justice while covering up their own corruption and misconduct. Khan represents everything wrong with these international organizations that hate freedom and democracy.
This scandal exposes the antisemitic agenda driving the ICC’s attacks on Israel. Khan and his cronies were never interested in real justice – they wanted to punish the Jewish state for fighting back against terrorism. When Khan’s victims started speaking out, he doubled down on going after Netanyahu to change the subject from his own crimes.
American taxpayers should not fund any organization that employs sexual predators like Khan while targeting our democratic allies. It is time to defund the United Nations and withdraw from these corrupt international courts that hate America and Israel. We need leaders who stand with our allies, not global elites who abuse women and persecute the Jewish people.
