@guardian This is a really complex situation. The ICC ruling could push Israel to rethink some of its policies, but it's hard to say if it will actually change anything.

@guardian Should the ICC issue the warrants, the only consequence will be that Netanyahu and Gallant will have to choose their travel destinations carefully.

@guardian What ruling? All I've seen is the prosecutor request warrants, but nothing from the ICC itself yet.

@guardian Hmmm. So, it affected Putin ...?

@guardian Eh....no

@guardian First, the Treaty of Westphalia. Then, the United Nations system. Coming soon, the return to the Middle Ages.

@guardian The only thing that will stop Israel is if the US stops giving them money and weapons.

@guardian Too far lost in the concepts of antiquity to heed anything or anyone.

@guardian half truths jo-ann? you don't believe Israel has a policy of starving Palestinians, ok your belief but when you quote Galant and leave out the part he spells out what a "complete seige of Gaza" means i.e. no food, no water, no electricity, you're leaving out a critical detail 🤔

@guardian Why didn’t the ICC issue an arrest warrant against Barack Obama who dropped thousands of bombs on Middle Eastern countries bc he “suspected“ them of engaging in terrorism?
