      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.

          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.
