Careful guys they’re coming for you

    Waste of their time. Wasn’t it Trump who got the Supreme Court to declare that anything a sitting president does is pretty much legal?

      Legal according to the US doesn’t mean “legal”. Maybe now Trump will have to invade the haag so we can finally make the yanks pay

      I mean it’s ICC… so US supreme court has no jurisdiction over their decisions. ICC has an arrest warrent on Netanyahu and his defence minister Yoav Gallant, if the US could veto it they would.

      Of course, they also don’t exactly have power anywhere either. Hence the warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant haven’t exactly bothered them in the least.

        Actually, that would be funny as hell - have the ICC issue an arrest warrant for Trump same as Netanyahu! Wouldn’t do much but it’s great optics. Can’t go to certain countries because he’s a Level 34 Felon, can’t go to the others because jail.

    Won’t this lead to acknowledgement that Israel is also committing war crimes and we have to stop supporting Israel?
