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?

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.

When was the last time a head of state was arrested by the ICC?

It also acts as a deterrent as much of the world will now likely be out of bounds for travel for either the Israelis or Hamas leadership who were issued warrants.

How is this 'flagged'?

This is a significant update on an event of historical impact.

If they get arrested it’d be of historical impact. These warrants mean little really.
