> when it's known that the US and Israel have veto powers, as an example,

They don't have veto powers of the ICC. Neither are even members.

However if your point is that both are powerful political actors, i think that speaks to a lack of pro-israel bias since they are going ahead with the charges despite the objections (and down right threats) from both countries which are super powerful actors.

> Now Netanyahu has done enough blatantly, what's argued by some to be the most video/photographed-recorded genocide in history,

It should be noted that genocide is not one of the charges. The ICC has juridsiction over genocide, but the ICC prosecuter has not accused israel of genocide thus far.

Yeah, it's a lower bar to charge with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Genocide charges can come later.
