Khan’s charges against Netanyahu and Gallant include “starvation of civilians”, “extermination”, and “intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population”.
The US president, Joe Biden, has denounced Khan’s bid for arrest warrants for the Israeli officials as “outrageous”, saying: “There is no equivalence – none – between Israel and Hamas.”

No one is talking about equivalence, we’re talking about holding people accountable for war crimes.
When was the last time a war crime was prosecuted and judgements enforced? The UN and ICC is a joke and it boils my blood knowing these assholes won’t face any meaningful consequences.
Fuck me, does he want to get pulled up in front of the Hague too?

Israel: “Bold of you to assume we’d follow international law.”
Turns out you don’t need to if/when you have the full support of the USA behind you :(
