The Ridiculously Woke Leftist Institution of the ICC Shoots Itself in the Foot

Here's the offending link: https://x.com/EvansRyan202/status/1792637056264401392

Is it dumb? Unbelievably. As if Karim Khan was hanging out at Columbia University in his off time, protesting the war or something. Or maybe it's that the "idealists" have some sort of power and influence over the ICC and only just waited through seven months of genocide to make their move.

Also too, the fundamental premise is also bullshit.  Here is what "uniting practically all of Israel behind defending Netanyahu just as his grip on power was finally loosening" looks like.

Thousands of demonstrators from across Israel converged on Jerusalem Monday evening to protest the Netanyahu government, as the Knesset opened its summer session after a six-week recess.

The “day of disruption” demonstrations began with a rally outside the Knesset spotlighting hostage family members and central anti-government activists, followed by a chaotic march through the capital which saw at least two protesters arrested.

Police managed to disperse the protests fairly quickly, utilizing a water cannon to spray foul-smelling Skunk liquid onto activists blocking roads after a procession to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official residence split into multiple directions in an attempt to evade police barricades.

Dude is actually trying to defend his bullshit by saying "I just believe you should judge decisions by their impact, not their intent." This is literally his defense for saying that Israel is united in defending Netanyahu one day after a series of protests dubbed a "day of disruption" that ended with police firing chemical weapons out of a water cannon at protestors. Protestors that were marching on Netanyahu's house. I suppose they were going there to express their support for Bibi. /s

But hey, any opportunity to punch a hippie - which apparently in this case is Karim Khan. FFS.


EDIT to add: Just so that we are clear. The argument here is that if you don't like Netanyahu then you must also oppose him being charged with the crimes he's committed. Because I am very smart!
