To the shock of no one, the guy who wore his IDF uniform to another countries government functions was leading the charge.

I'm so disappointed, there was a brief moment where it felt like Israel was finally about to face some consequences and now the fucking ICC is going to get sanctioned for the crime of holding them accountable. America to the rescue /s

It's amazing how the US is so eager to rip up the entire international order that it benefits from just to prop up Israel in the short term.

I assume this is when we start hearing people talk about the Rules Based International Order right?

My rep was a no-vote which feels even more cowardly. Time to make some angry phone calls

Sorry for the triple(!) post. My client screwed up, I guess

Considering the US already has a law to invade the Netherlands should the ICC arrest a US national, this should probably come to no shock to anybody.

It's pretty funny that the US basically set up ICC as an alternative to the ICJ that they could control, and for a while the west used it was their very own colonial court. Now, the court dared to bite the hand that feeds its and they're getting a beating from their masters as a result.
