There is widespread support in Israel for degrading the Islamic Regime, for rather obvious reasons[0]. I think the evidence tying Bibi's corruption trial to his decision to go to war with Iran is rather weak, especially since Bibi has clearly wanted to go to war against Iran with US support well before the corruption investigation even got started.

> There's also some sort of branching strategy happening to cut off points which criticise the wanted fugitive Bibi Netanyahu.

You seem to be referring here to the ICC investigation(since Bibi is quite obviously not a fugitive from the Israeli police). The ICC's jurisdiction is highly questionable among other issues.

The corruption charges are not brought by the ICC at all, they originate from an Israeli police investigation and have much more legitimacy than the rather dubious ICC investigation.

I know the difference between the ICC warrant for Bibi for genocide and the corruption charges he faces at home.

Listen to yourself for a moment.

Also perhaps take the time to pull up a list of those investigated by the ICC in the past. It's not what I'd describe as good company.

Exactly. We know that the ICC was basically designed to throw arrest warrants at people who the west does not like. (Mostly Asian, African or more generally brown people).

It's baffling how Netanyahu is, what, likeable somehow? USA, Germany and the UK spring to mind.

I can't imagine him being good company. And I'm really happy that at least one EU country will arrest his ugly ass (Spain) and that his airspace is getting evermore compromised for fear of being arrested. Which he will be, eventually.

		> We know that the ICC was basically designed to throw arrest warrants at people who the west does not like. The ICC is a "court of last resort" which is one of the reasons the ICC going after Netanyahu is going outside their jurisdiction, see principal of complementarity[0] which the ICC is rather blatantly violating. Western countries generally have functional legal systems and Israel has a long history of imprisoning their prime ministers. > And I'm really happy that at least one EU country will arrest his ugly ass (Spain) and that his airspace is getting evermore compromised for fear of being arrested. Which he will be, eventually. If Bibi ends up arrested it will be by the Israeli police and not by some international court going way outside its jurisdiction for what are clearly political reasons.
