This analysis, with which I agree, places the ICC in the same tradition and intention as all western courts at National or state levels - to punish the losers / rebels / undesirables of all conflicts (war or otherwise), in service of the elite faction that wins the day. Frequently, of course, the artifice of the structure results in some allies getting caught up in the web of consequences, and often only to serve as some kind of ‘proof’ of its impartiality, until the point has been made and the ally can retire quietly and comfortably to the countryside.

Netanyahu and Gallant in the dock at the Hague seems an incredible idea. Will the ICC send bounty-hunters into Israel to get them? Seriously, I wonder how, at this level of Wild West lawlessness, how this is expected to unfold.
