    I hestitate to find the full article and read it as I should watch my blood pressure today, but if anyone has what do they actually propose be the venue to hold Israel to account? The US? The UK?

    Oh! Maybe Israel can do an internal audit and determine they are not guilty.

      They said the ICC is only for when a country is incapable of investigating itself for crimes, which apparently Israel can do so we should just leave it to them instead of getting the international court involved.

      quote from the article, hidden to protect your blood pressure

      Israel needs to be held accountable for its military conduct in Gaza. After the conflict’s end — which is long overdue — there will no doubt be Israeli judicial, parliamentary and military commissions of inquiry. Israel’s vibrant, independent media will do its own investigations. Some Israeli reserve soldiers have already been arrested over accusations of abuse against Palestinian detainees. More investigations will follow. The ICC is supposed to become involved when countries have no means or mechanisms to investigate themselves. That is not the case in Israel
