      Enough excuses.

          and then what?

          Then you subject yourself to the jurisdiction of an independent international court that is empowered to investigate war crimes. Which is exactly what this thread is about.

          Are you paying attention?

          Everybody is to afraid to take actions like with that russian cunt in the kreml?

          Also not a signatory. Were Russia to join the treaty, I would again be dancing in the streets.

          And will Hamas do the same?

          That’s the beauty of the treaty. War crimes committed against a signatory or on a signatories territory are covered. It protects Israel regardless of who perpetrates the war crimes.

          Sign it. There’s no reason not to.

          Unless of course the entire point is to do war crimes, deny them, and get away with them because of the lack of international accountability mechanism.

            to your answers, not that much. I thought this thread is about a CEO who had to step down because of some tweets on that idiot platform twitter…

              No, that’s what the post is about. The thread, that you started, is about war crimes and their adjudication.

      Have you thought perhaps that offending people on the internet just because those people don’t share your opinion is pretty toxic?

      For the record I have reported a couple of your posts, and I hope you get banned, the less toxic people we have here the better.

          You are really lacking self awareness. If you think what you did is OK, then I can only feel sorry for you.
