many comments about the potential warrants against Israeli leaders (which I have not questioned) but very few about the ones against Hamas leaders. It appears there is appetite to enforce one set of warrants but not the other.

I do see the Palestinian people as victims of many manipulators. They have been expendable pawns for decades.

I also see the Israeli people as victims of terrorists. Their crime was being Jewish.

One set of victims is being forgotten on the greater stage. Unfortunately, it is unsurprising.

I believe my biggest issue is that it is pointless. The warrants cannot be enforced against Netanyahu and the other Israeli leaders. They won't be enforced against the Hamas leaders. All it does is cause the already extremist participants to do is dig their heels in deeper.
