America is next: South African minister says countries aiding Israel liable for ICC prosecution
Good. As an American, I support this.
If you mean us, we aren't an ICC member.
I don't see how that is relevant. It's a problem that we're not party to the ICC.
Neither are the Israelis, but that doesn't matter, because Palestine is. Well, I say that, but to be fair the US isn't directly operating in Palestinian territory, "merely" aiding and abetting Israeli operations. I personally feel that should count, but I won't be the one arguing in court. 🤷
Agreed. I know it's purely wishful thinking, but I dream of a day that our government can be somehow held accountable for war crimes, so that they might actually stop committing them.
I do too, but don’t get too excited. At the rate the ICC works, it could take them years to hold trial.
The upside is that this could prompt Biden to mandate the State Department perform a reassessment. Leahy Law can’t be supported by outside intelligence unsubstantiated by the State Department. Once he has a conclusive report, it doesn’t matter what congressional legislation states.
