Some 49% of Americans want their government to enforce an ICC arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu for “war crimes in Gaza,” according to a new poll

Snip:

Some 49% of Americans think that the US should arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes, according to a recent poll. After three years of war in the Middle East, Israel’s once-solid support in the US has cratered.

Asked whether the US should enforce an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest, 49% of respondents answered “yes” in an Economist/YouGov poll published on Tuesday, while 27% said “no” and 23% were unsure.

Surveying 1,500 American adults, the poll found that 47% believe Netanyahu is “guilty of war crimes in Gaza,” while 24% disagree and 29% are unsure.

      If you have a belief in the rule of law then it is logical to go according to the process regardless of ones personal opinion.

      Perhaps they would like to see him vindicated. Or perhaps they hate him, wish suffering and dont care for legitimacy.

    To be clear (and pedantic), I don’t believe he is guilty of war crimes. I believe the US should serve him to the ICC to face trial and be judged for allegations of war crimes. Fair trial. We should be better than him, not quick to stoop to his level.

    I think most Americans also want the rich and powerful tried for sex crimes against children. So the pressure is on local authorities to find and catch more people looking at CSAM on Reddit and Twitter, and they’re certainly doing that, but they’re still not going after the ones making the CSAM at the top, just the ones looking at it online. Sure, both are bad, but how you gonna go after the ones seeing it and not the ones making it happen and filming it? Because the former is easy?
