Isn't the Prime Minister of Israel wanted by the Hague?
- 9dev 1y agoHe is, but many heads of state already declared they are going to ignore that should Netanjahu fancy a visit. The hypocrisy is stunning.

- gscott 1y agoHamas leaders are being killed faster then the ICC can get them. That is the ICC's fault of course.
- ars 1y agoThere were zero dead Hamas leaders on Oct 8, but the ICC did nothing, and did not care. Not to mention there are living Hamas leaders in Qatar, today, and the ICC? Does nothing. They are a joke.
- 9dev 1y agoIt's a court, not a military force. What do you suppose it should have done, send the special judge forces to Quatar to kidnap them? The ICC is an institution that requires member nations to adhere to it. Concepts like these require mutual respect for a rule-based world order; an idea that seems to be lost on people like Trump, Putin, or the Quatari.
- DyslexicAtheist 1y agoyou say "many" but other than "fotzenfrize" Merz who declared this?
- strictnein 1y agoThe US isn't a member of the ICC. Clinton signed it, but the senate never ratified the treaty.
- rixed 1y agoFrance apparently allowed several times the suspect to fly over its territory without arresting him, for instance.
- dominicrose 1y agoFrance has a deep history and Macron doesn't want to do anything except raise the defense budget, because that's the best way to avoid problems: condemn violence but don't participate and stay alert.
- elihu 1y agoYes, there's an ICC warrant out by for Netanyahu and Gallant. Basically that just means that they won't travel to or even be invited to countries that would arrest them. The same goes for Putin. A lot of pro-Israel people just think the ICC is just a tool used by countries that hold a grudge against Israel and don't take it seriously (e.g. the Biden administration released a statement condemning the ICC when they announced they were seeking the warrants), so having more first-hand witnesses stating clearly that war crimes are happening is relevant. Ideally we'd have journalists reporting these things, but Israel blocks those from entering Gaza too.

Quote: Referring to Israel, Salam said he would work to “impose the complete withdrawal of the enemy from the last occupied inch of our land”. Hardly an unbiased choice to lead the ICJ.
- colechristensen 1y ago"international law" is, i don't know how to say this quite right, largely for show when both sides seem to be willing and eager to order, participate in, and cheer for atrocities from leadership to the common people... I don't want to take ideological sides or tally up crimes to decide who to root for in millennia old conflict mostly over a single city it's a terrible shame for the people who want to live together in peace, clearly there are not enough of them
- wayeq 1y ago> "international law" is, i don't know how to say this quite right, largely for show Turns out most law in western democracies was largely for show
- rixed 1y ago...or they are not sufficiently well represented.
