My sibling in christ, they are both siding the genocide. This clearly designed to do nothing or hurt Hamas.

Or (I hope) it’s the only way they might be able to push it through without US intervention. Or at the very least have the US say no and further damage their image (which tbh the US will likely take the bait at this point).

In a system designed to protect the status quo I don’t think you could do anything other than “both sides” it.

As a side note: I often find myself trying to figure out how to do something in a system that doesn’t exist. Unfortunately we have to be aware of the current material conditions and the way things are rather than how we wish they were. That way we can be better at focusing the efforts of campaigns in which we seek to win power back, and ultimately bring about a just society.

Edit after reading a few comments:

It very well may be just a way for the blame to be placed on an individual.

I’m not so optimistic. They’re going with “both sides are doing genocide,” the US and the UK might just pressure them into dropping the warrants on Netanyahu and Gallant, and push hard only for Hamas.

Which they can then spin into “see? The ICC agrees! Hamas are the real genociders”

They said Hamas used rape as a weapon and they gave harsher prosecutions for Hanyeh, Sinwar and Mohammed Deif, third one is useless because Abu Khaled is a man who we don’t even know how he looks like lmao

Isn’t the rape thing debunked? Why is it any time some action is taken against the empire the rape card / they were given viagra is the very first thing the Empire pulls out?

Why the fuck is the lost longer against Hamas than Bibi? Why isn’t the list extended to genocide against the entire cabinet?

This is just trying to minimize things to Bibi as if he’s the root of the genocidal culture of

And where are the warrents for , and the rest of congress for knowingly arming and supplying a genocide?

gets people’s libidinal juices flowing which is the foundation of about 80% of reactionary politics. Don’t worry about those complex geopolitics, we just need to go save the pure and virtuous white maiden from the barbarians!

Coward shit honestly. There should be warrants put out against every official that has publicly made a statement advocating for genocide. Putting out a warrant on just Bibi gives Israel an easy out. Just replace and jail Bibi and the next genocidal ghoul can step in and keep things going.

Legit

You had so many Israeli politicians saying everyone in Gaza is Hamas to justify just killing everyone there; so, many, Israeli politicians, all, saying it

Bothsides-ing horseshit. Figures, the ICC likes to act like it’s not, but it’s just as vassalized to the cracker empire as the rest of the West is. If they weren’t, Hamas never would’ve been mentioned; it’d have been Bibi, his war cabinet, Biden, a solid seven-eighths of the Democrat party, and the CEOs of Boeing, Northrop-Grummond, and Raytheon.

Yeah the ICJ is the court that’s multipolar, the ICC is just a tool of unipolar imperialistic western hegemony. The ICC doesn’t even pretend to be independent, they’re pretty open about being a tool of the west.
