    I'd be much more inclined to throw some critical support France's way if they weren't also violently cracking down on indigenous rights in New Caledonia at this very moment.

    Germany is in the ICC let's check on how they're handling it.

    Update: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-05-21/ty-article/.premium/france-germany-back-icc-disapprove-of-arrest-warrants-for-netanyahu-gallant/0000018f-9a0d-d35f-a1df-dfcd57120000

    Germany's ambassador to Israel wrote that while 'Germany respects independence and procedures' of the ICC, 'The simultaneous application for arrest warrants against Hamas' leadership and Israeli officials has given the incorrect impression of an equation'

    Rest is paywalled. Fairly cowardly stance IMO. Probably eager for Bibi to stop making it awkward.

      That's right Germany. Israel is much worse than Hamas. No comparison.
