cuz people are sick of same thing being pushed by both sides.

ICC just said both sides are guilty of warcrimes.

Paint me shocked and surprised.



Actually, I am surprised that both sides got indicted...


Huh.

I felt that it was pretty obvious, once one was read up on the law, that this would be the result. I'd expected arrest warrants for a larger group (maybe 10-16 people, thereabout), but I wasn't surprised by that it was a small group either.


surprised how?


I, for one, did not expect the rumoured arrest warrant for Netanyahu. Indicting a government coalition made up of several political parties is quite different from indicting a specific prime minister. I think just about everyone expected the ICC to condemn both Hamas and the Israeli government, but I would've only expected warrants out for the Hamas members (as they're classified as terrorists rather than politicians by just about everyone).

In the same vein, I would expect "China/Russia/America found guilty of war crimes" but not "arrest warrant out for Biden/Putin/Xi".
