[Bias alert - NYT usually favors Israel]
Too bad the ICC lost all credibility when it let itself be used by the West as an anti-Russia political weapon to level absurd charges at Putin et al. I mean this verdict wouldn’t have had any teeth either way because the US would never allow it to be enforced, but still it would have sent a message. As it is now no one takes them seriously anymore, and especially not when they “both sides” a literal genocide by going after resistance leaders too.
Leftists don’t take them seriously, but libs do. And that’s all this is good for: chipping away at liberal support, radicalizing a few of them, and gradually shifting the mainstream narrative on Israel closer to reality.
It always was just a tool of imperialism. The court only judged Africans and Slavs so far. That’s why I was so surprised that they’d charge an ally of the US.
