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.
