The International Criminal Court today issued an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and the current leader of Hamas. They are accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. This decision is important and right as both parties must be held accountable for what they have done

I want to emphasize that I am neutral on the subject as both parties have done enough wrong, I am simply concerned with justice. Both parties have committed crimes and I think it's wrong to point the finger at one party in a matter like this.

Thanks for the tag @samuellhuber.eth @dariustg Criminalizing and politicizing self-defense is a dangerous game - any country that defends itself against an enemy that uses civilians as human shields faces prosecution. The ICC completely ignores the cause and context of the war - Hamas attack on Israel on Oct 7th. Imagine if after WWII we issued arrest warrants for Truman and Churchill because more Germans died than allies. That is what this is equivalent to.

As I have already said, I am neutral on the subject. Every country that is attacked has the right to self-defense, but one must adhere to the Geneva Convention, which stipulates that civilians in areas of conflict and occupied territories must be protected.
