Israel and the US are a danger to a rule based international order and morally and legally corrupting the west.
They are destroying the institutions that were established with a lot of effort to not repeat the horrors of the second world war and in particular the horrors of the Holocaust.
Now that they are held to the standards that they demanded from other countries, they attack the institutions that are our best bet to protect the world from another world war and unprecedented age of genocide.
Israel and the US are rogue terrorist states. It is no surprise that they are in league with Russia in having declared to never ratify the ICC accords. It was a grave mistake of the other western countries to continue ally with them and throughout this period. If the EU, Canada, Australia and NZ are not taking a stance now and protect the UN and in particular the ICC and ICJ any resemblance of a rule based international order will fall apart and we will fast track to WW3
Its not the first time US does this. 3 years ago they blacklisted ICC member for investigating it’s warcrimes in Afghanistan

Let me put this to rest. That’s not going to happen. Biden will not sanction or sign a bill targeting the ICC in an election year.
Now if they start talking about a bill after election day, buckle up.
