    Oh let's put all our faith in liberal institutions again. I thought we were past this. Read fanon, literally just the first chapter. Actually just read the title of the first chapter of wretched of the earth.

      Well it's just another liberal hypocrisy laid bare. Liberals have been clamoring for countries to arrest Putin (Mongolia being the most recent one), but I imagine they will be silent on Netanyahu. Now EU countries must choose either to honour the ICC warrant or not in the case of Netanyahu's visit. If they don't, lots of people are going to be asking wtf? since EU was adamant about prosecuting war criminals from the Yugoslav civil war. They even set it as a prerequisite for Croatia to join the EU (that everyone charged by ICC be brought to court).

      It will be a nail in the coffin of the "rules-based" order.

      I agree, none of us are putting faith in it though or at least I think. Sometimes it is just to share developments in the wider world.
