They are right, though, aren’t they? We came up with these regulations and international agreements for a reason.

If they ignore war crimes, their authority loses meaning, but if they pass judgment that we know is going to be completely ignored, their authority also loses meaning. Unless the powers that be decide to honor their word, it’s all pointless. What’s next?

(before you jump into discussion, remember that this only about these two individuals)

ICC and the prosecutor are on very solid ground here.

The prosecutor asked opinions from a impartial panel of experts in international law. The panel included people like Theodor Meron (former Legal adviser for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Helene Kennedy, Adrian Fulford.

Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant provided plenty of evidence of the intent. Did they really think that when they talk Hebrew to their audience, rest of the world does not hear them. Case like this would be harder to prosecute without evidence of intent.

They ignore war crimes plenty when it comes to Russia, Turkey, etc. According to UN Israel is the worst country there is, as over half of the resolutions are against Israel.

The ICC also issued arrest warrants for Putin and Lvova-Belova last year, and for Sokolov, Kobylash, Shoigu and Gerasimov earlier this year.

Russian leadership was issued warrants some time ago.

They did, on account of child trafficking, not waging a war.
