The fact that no Isntraeli has a ICC warrant against them says everything about the ICC

The ICC immediately issued a warrant for Putin pretty much the second the war kicked off in 2022, but they have been incredibly slow with Israel. Right now it seems there is an application for an arrest warrant but it applies to Netanyahu and “Hamas leaders” because “both sides committed war crimes.”

Imperialist Colonial Court

It’s proven itself to be a complete clown show, a circus. How do you issue these arrest warrants immediately after what happened in Crimea? The ICC was incredibly quick, since the beginning of this war, to punish Russian officials but when it comes to Israel and even Ukraine they are really dragging their feet.

The day after the Crimea beach attack, too. They're really trying to destroy what little credibility they have...

That’s what I noticed too. After Ukraine kills civilians they pivot to punishing Russian officials, what about the people in Crimea that were literally just killed???
