For @theintercept, I argue that a laser focus on the ICC and ICJ misunderstands and overemphasizes their role in achieving justice for Israel's atrocities in Gaza. It also misses what's happening in national courts as more states launch homegrown investigations and prosecutions.

Wow. U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie ruled Lindsey Halligan's appointment unlawful and the prosecutions against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey therefore invalid. Both indictments are dismissed without prejudice.
