Ya know what, I think I am ok with punishing people leading war crime efforts. I sure do wonder what the party of “tough on crime” thinks about the ongoing genocide?
The ICC is 100% correct.
Ok, can we take the CIA to court? There are a couple of executives in old folks homes that arguably deserve to be rolled into an active volcano.
Wait… the US is currently indiscriminately bombing civilians who have nowhere to go, while denying them access to basic necessities?
Maybe not actively but there’s a lot of past presidents that should be charged if the world was fair. Most obvious example is Bush.
How about Reagon / Carter? El Salvadore Death Squads? School of the Americas?
Oh 100% they should be too, I just went with the easiest recent one.
Jr or Sr?
First one then the other
Only by proxy, so no blood on their hands. It’s a psychopathological reasoning, but here we are

There would be a lot of war crimes the USA can be charged for, retroactively. I think this is not just about Israel.
Not would. Remember when the ICC tried to investigate US war crimes in Afghanistan?
Yes. If it wasn’t so horrific, it would be comical.
God willing!
Except the U.S. is not a party to the ICC and therefore not subject to its jurisdiction. It should be, but it’s not. This is bullshit fear-mongering over something that literally cannot happen, in order to distract people from the thing that will and should be happening.
Neither is Israel. But even just the optics of the ICC ruling on Israel is good for the rest of the world to see. Honestly, same for the case of the USA. Most USA Presidents are textbook case war criminals. Only because their military operations help the USA itself geopolitically it does not make it generally ethnical. Most Americans in this perspective ate very biased. But the rest of the world sees it.
Over 1 million Iraqis are dead because of Bush Jr. actions and their downstream, Obama ordered drone kills above any other previous President, many of those killing civilians, USA has destabilised dozens of governments over the course of the 20th century, Project Condor is a perfect example.
“Oh nooooo…anyway…”
Yes
